Into the Depths

Welcome to the Paradure Valley - former home of a Clan of Merkaus. I am the last remaining in my Clan; my name is Romani. Funny thing is, I didn't even know I belonged in the sea - I was raised on land with my two older brothers and younger sister. It was around my third birthday that I learned I belonged somewhere else... But that's a story to be told later.

About Me

I was raised in Meridell by my two brothers, Grover and Alan. I had no idea where I was from and was content just living with them as a normal Kau. It was only later that I found out that all that time I had been under the spell of a powerful sea witch - that would keep me land-locked until a parent could provide a safe return to the waters.

My parents never came back for me, but on my third birthday, the spell was broken - sending me back to the sea where I belong. I am the last remaining of my colony of Merkaus and I'm always out to find out more about them. Considering I only heard about my past not too long ago, I've still got a lot to learn.

My Stories

My story can be told in several parts. I've gathered several parts together for you to read. They are posted in the order that they happened to me.

Family's Past
My biggest change starts to take place and we learn a little about why it might be happening.

Returning to Roots
Once the change was complete, I had no where to go but back to the sea where I belonged. It was hard to say goodbye, but I knew it was time to go.

The Sea Witch
Judge Hog's information wasn't enough, I'd have to get some answers about my parents directly from the source...

Maraquan Horus
I couldn't live without Grasshopper. It was up to me to find a way to bring him to live underwater with me.

My Family

These are the people in my family. We've all been together for forever, it seems like. And even though we're separated now, they'll always be the people most important to me.

Rose is our caretaker. She takes care of our Neohome when Grover and Alan aren't around. She's been pretty helpful when we need her, but we're really independent for the most part.

Alan is my oldest brother. He hasn't lived with us as long as Grover and I have, though. He was adopted, but he's still like a real brother to me. He never liked babysitting me when I was little but really, he was a terrible babysitter! He's really talented with music, though - maybe he'll teach me to play an instrument some day!

Grover is my other older brother. He's the one I've known for my entire life. He takes really good care of me and I love him very much. Sometimes he's more like a dad than a brother - when he's not too busy working, at least!

Ainad is my younger sister. She's a lot bigger and she acts a lot older than I am, but I'm older than her! She moved away from home a while ago and lives in the Draik Clan with her family. I miss her a lot but we still get to see each other! She was a big relief in a family with only brothers - I was glad when she came along!

Petpet

This is Grasshopper, my Maraquan Horus and best friend. Grasshopper's probably the only Maraquan Horus in Neopia! Horuses can't be painted with a Maraquan Petpet Paintbrush yet, but Grasshopper's changed. How? Well, that's a story I'l have to save for another day...

My Collections

I've managed to find a nice little cove in the valley where I can keep some of my favorite things! Some of my the things I like to collect are any Kau or Horus items as well as Maraqua or Mermaid-themed items, Quigukis, and milk products!!

Want to see my collection? Click on the Kau Bell below to see all of the stuff I've collected so far!

Fanart

This is my collection of images drawn for me! These are very special for me, so please do not use them. They belong to me and the artist that drew them - no one else! You can look and admire them, but don't do anything else or I will see to it that you are frozen. Enjoy!

Adoptable Tutorial

Have you ever wanted to make your own Adoptables, but not known how? Well, Rose set it out step-by-step while making my newest set so that people can follow along and learn their way! In order to keep it from taking up too much room on my page, she has it uploaded to her DevianART account:

http://www.deviantart.com/view/25243912/

Copy and paste that link into your Address Bar to view it! Also, if you'd like to link back here and spread the word about this tutorial, you're welcome to take one of these buttons:

100x50 Button

88x31 Banner

Thanks for visiting!! You can tell us what you thought of our tutorial either by leaving a comment on DA or by dropping us a Neomail!

Adoptables

Look at those cute Kaus all adorned with their snorkels and flippers! They look like they're ready for all kinds of underwater exploration!

Do not alter these images in any way. Do not remove the word "Romani", do not change the colors, etc.

Do not steal these images for use in the Beauty Contest, Art Gallery, etc. I will find you, and you will be punished if you do so.

These Adoptables are only available for adoption through this page. If you find anyone else with a site that lets you adopt one of these images there, please let me know.

I will never open Custom Requests. Sorry, but my life is too busy for me to randomly make customs for whoever wants one.

Though I won't take custom requests, I WILL take color requests. If there is an official Neopets color that I haven't made yet and that you would like me to make, Neomail me and let me know! Chances are, I haven't gotten around to making it, but knowing that someone wants it will put it on the top of the list and I will finish it faster :)

To adopt a Kau, copy the code provided beneath it. Copy the code EXACTLY and don't alter that code in any way!

Not the ones you're looking for? Click the "Retired" link to find your way to the older set. You can also adopt the Maraquan Kau from the older set at the "Retired" link as well :)

Roleplay

So you'd like to Roleplay with Romani, huh? Well, great! But don't think you're going anywhere right away, there are a few things that I want to get across before you Neomail me. Most of what I'm about to tell you can be clarified more in Romani's F.A.Q.s, My F.A.Q.s, and at Igan's RP Guide.

Before you decide on a pet that you want to meet Romani, there are a few things to keep in mind. First off, just because we RP them, that doesn't necessarily mean they'll become best friends or mates or whatever so don't count on it. We are RPing solely to introduce our pets. Whether they become friends/enemies/whatever is up to how they react to each other - nothing is guaranteed. If you just want to RP so your male Kau can use Romani as a status symbol, FORGET IT. The same goes for art - I rarely draw fanart and, when I do, it's either for my sisters or it's for friends I've had for years. So if you're RPing with me just to get free art/adoptables - find another sucker-artist to pester.

There are a few things that you should know about Romani before you decide to RP with her. Now, just because I'm going to share these with you doesn't necessarily mean that your pet knows them. For instance, Romani is waterbound. It would be very hard for her to make it very far on land, so she pretty much stays to the sea. This means her roleplays should be limited to other water pets, beach pets, or pirates. Romani's still very young so she has the tendancy to make some unwise decisions, but she's still very carefree and adventurous. She would love to meet other Maraquans or underwater pets as she finds the sea pretty lonely so far. Her petpet, Grasshopper, thinks he's a hero (read: Link from Zelda) and takes it upon himself to see to Romani's safety. Romani isn't looking for a mate as she's still too young, but that may change as she gets older ;D To learn more about Romani, see her in 'action', and read more into her history, be sure to check out her Story Section!

Now, if you think you have a pet that might get along (or clash - because opposites/rivalries are really fun too), read Romani's F.A.Q.s, check my Lookup to see if RPs with Romani are open, and then go ahead and drop me a Neomail! Be sure to tell me which one of my pets you want to RP with, tell me which one of your pets you want to use and any important info about them. I want to be sure that they are compatible with Romani (whether positive/friendly or negative/enemy). Once I think our pets could have a good RP, I'll usually say something like "Okay, why don't you send an intro." You can start RPing with your next Neomail.

Don't worry about being super-formal, because it doesn't really matter to me. I do prefer the Story-style over Chat-Style (refer to my RP Guide if you don't know what that means), but I will follow whichever mode you are most comfortable with :) Do be warned, though, if I get bored or if things just aren't working out, I'll either seriously slow replies or I'll just stop replying altogether. I also go through 'busy periods' where I may only reply once a week. This is normal for me so don't Neomail me saying "omg howcome you haven't replied, it's been like four days!!!" :p

Thank you for reading all of that - I look forward to RPing with you. I'm sorry there's so much to be said on this subject, but I've had a lot of bad experiences in the past - everything from people using my characters for popularity to people using me for free art. I'm just trying to avoid these things from happening any more than they have to :)

F.A.Q.s

Please read these before Neomailing my owner! We both don't like answering the same question twice.

Romani-Specific Questions

How did you afford a Maraquan PB for Romani??
I didn't ;) The Fountain Faerie was gracious enough to give our family a quest! The item was only around 9K, too xD We both got really lucky on that one! Prior to that, though, she was painted Baby (like her name) and I think that PB cost us around 200K at the time.

Can my pet date Romani??
I'm not sure if Romani's ready to be looking for dates, but if you're interested in RPing, I'd suggest reading the FAQ question regarding RPing on Brenda's Page, reading Romani's section on "Roleplay" {above}, and checking my lookup before Neomailing me.

Can Romani be friends with my Kau/Pet??
I don't "assign" friends to my pets. They make their friends through roleplaying or penpalling. If you'd like to roleplay with me, I suggest reading the FAQ question regarding RPing on Brenda's Page, reading Romani's section on "Roleplay" {above}, and checking my lookup before Neomailing me.

Can I draw a picture for Romani?
Yeeeey!! ^^ Of course you may!! We love getting fanart!

What's with her psychotic petpet?
xD Err... Grasshopper isn't psychotic he's just... confused :) I'm sure any Horus might think they're a famous hero every now and then....

Maraquan Horus!?!
Horus' can't be painted Maraquan. In fact, Grasshopper is still technically Green, see? But we couldn't leave him stranded on land while Romani lives underwater now, couldn't we? Maybe someday, if Horuses can ever be painted Maraquan I will paint him - until then, he's just pretend x)

Romani and Grasshopper...? Legend of Zelda fan?
As big as they come xD

Thanks for reading! If you have any other ideas for questions related to or about Romani that we should add, feel free to Neomail me!

Link Back

Here's where you can take a link to my petpage and put it on your petpage, lookup, shop - anywhere you want! I'll have a new Plushie for you to look at sometime soon, as soon as I can get Rose to make me one!!
