A small Halloween Blumaroo with a red gem in her forehead and a black-tipped tail hops up to you. Turning, she smiles at you. "My name is Bulmaroo1213! Welcome to my home, guest. Allow me to show you around!" With another kindly glance, she hops off...

WELCOME

Welcome to my home. As you can see, my name is Bulmaroo1213 and I am a Halloween Blumaroo. I wasn't always Halloween, I used to be Yellow...but you will learn about that later :) For now we should stick to the basics.

ABOUT ME

Take a look at the Stats/Info section to the bottom left...that says about all you need to know about me other than my photo!

MY STORY

The Blumaroo looks at you. "I have my own story to tell," she says, "about my past." She begins.

It began when I was very little. I remember almost, if none, of my past. I was once risen in an ancient forest, deep in the heart of Roo Island.

Roo Island was not always discovered. There is a small portion of it that is simply a rainforest, lush and wet. I used to live there, although I had no family.

In the forest I learned important survival skills. I liked the flowers and the trees, and I loved climbing them and wishing I could fly. Most of all I loved stargazing.

I was stargazing when I decided to leave Roo Island. I wanted somewhere else to go, something to do. I was tired of the rainforest and wished to explore.

I left that day, sneaking onto a pirate ship and staying belowdecks. I snuck food during the night.

Then there was a storm. I was washed ashore a day or two later. Climbing out, I dried myself and walked onto the foriegn land. I hopped absentmindedly in no general direction. Finally I lay exhausted in the Lost Desert, out of hope and parched of thirst. That night, a strange Silver Shoyru with large wings and a long tail landed beside me and studied me. At last she inquired, "Are you okay?

I nodded dumbly. She asked, "Would you like to stay with my owner and I for a while?" I accepted the offer and met naparta. I stayed there while I recovered.

I was ready to leave and almost left when I decided not to. When naparta asked why I was not leaving, I told her, "I'd like to stay here, if you don't mind...

That," Bulmaroo1213 concludes, "is how I came to live at my current home. I visit Roo Island now and again, but I will never actually live there." Bulmaroo1213 sits up and smiles. "But I have another tale to tell.

COUNT VON ROO'S CURSE

The little Blumaroo gestures towards a comfortable looking Furry sofa. "Please sit down, this is going to take a while." The Blumaroo, leaning back on her tail, begins her second tale.

I wasn't always a Halloween Blumaroo. I used to be a Yellow Blumaroo. Of course, that all changed one night.

It was the new moon, and all was dark except for the stars that glittered in the night. I was looking up at them, making out the constellations. I found the river Draik pretty quickly. I was looking for W-shaped Spyder when suddenly, a creature appeared. Don't ask how I knew someone was there when there was no light at all; I could sense them.

A voice behind me said, "Hello, young Blumaroo." Turning, I was surprised to see Count Von Roo. He didn't look threatening. I don't know why, but he looked almost pleading.

What are you doing?" he asked. "I'm stargazing," I replied nervously.

Do you like the stars?" he said, tilting his head to look up at the sky. "Yes," I sighed with relief. He wasn't planning to hurt me after all. My voice wavering, I questioned in a small voice, "Are you planning to eat me?

He laughed. "No, I'm not." After a moment he recalled wistfully, "I wasn't always like this. A vampire, I mean. I never really was evil...I was misunderstood.

I blinked. "Misunderstood?

Perhaps I should explain to you," he said. "I used to be an orange Blumaroo. I liked the Haunted Woods and exploring Neopia. One day I visited the Esophagor. I did a quest for him. I used all of my neopoints to feed him. When I came back I gave him the food, and he took it and ate it greedily. Then he said, swallowing, 'Pleasssseee get me more foooooooood....' 'More?!' I exclaimed. 'I just fed you using all of the Neopoints I had! How can you, you greedy beast, ask for more?!' Gritting his teeth, the monster replied in a dangerously low voice, 'You do not understand. You do not know I am misunderstood. You do not know that I am cursed. For when food enters my mouth it turns to ash. I am living, but not alive!' Raising his voice he screeched, 'You did not understand being misunderstood. Now be cursed with it!' Stumbling, I ran. I ran as fast as I could. It was too late, for as I ran I changed. I turned into" - the Count looked down at himself - "what I am today," he finished. "Please, could you perhaps believe me? Maybe convince others to believe me, too? I am not evil, I am cursed to be.

I shivered. "I suppose I could help you...I can tell others, if that is what you mean..." The Count smiled at me. "Yes," he exclaimed, "that is what I mean. Farewell." He began to depart, then stopped and handed me something. "Here," he said, "take this as a token of my gratitude." Then he flew away. Looking down, I saw what he had left me.

It was a Halloween Paint Brush.

Bulmaroo1213 stops. Then, with a small laugh she says, "The story is very explanitory from there, about how I became Halloween. I hope you, too, will understand." She smiles. "We are all misunderstood...are we not?

FAMILY

Let me introduce you to my family!

Dragonwing1282 - This is my sister, Dragonwing1282. She is a Silver Shoyru. She used to be Green, then naparta painted her Silver. Dragonwing is very nice, she has good stats and she is very wise. She has a pet Ultra Mega Bot 2000 named Ser. Dragonwing enjoys reading, learning, and a number of other things. She is very nice. I never did manage to find out how she became Silver. Unlike me, she trains hard at the Mystery Island Training School to become a better fighter.

Meerca23673 - This is my oldest sister Meerca23673. She's very...weird. Inside I know she has a good heart, but she loves tricking people, making practical jokes and playing with her Rubber Spyder. She's absolutely OBSESSED with making jokes that aren't funny. She laughs hysterically at every little thing that happens. I think she should be more stealthy...of course we always know that little tricks and pranks around the house are hers, so even if she was as quiet as a Miamouse we'd know it was her.

kwmaine - This is my older brother, kwmaine. He's sweet and shy, but likes taking night flights and he's rather cheery actually. Kwmaine isn't much of a battler, he prefers spending his time thinking and learning. He's really prone to Meerca23673's jokes, they drive him crazy. I feel sorry for him, Meerca never leaves him alone. She always has to bounce of the walls or set more pranks or something...kwmaine has it really tough. He copes well with it, though, I can say that much!

hissi_malp - This is Malp, the newest member to our family. A HUGE thank you to Sky! Now I am not the only pet with fangs :) Malp is very sweet and loves flying. He often accompanies Kwmaine on his night flights, and the two often come back with some strange, interesting object for us to look at. (If you're wondering why kwmaine is on korbatstardance, it's because this is one of napartas accounts. Malp moved onto naparta when kwmaine left.)
