The sun hung low above the horizon, casting its brilliant glow upon the endless forest below. Each tree appeared to wave goodbye to the setting orb of light, as a soothing breeze gently swept the valley.

A small, flame-colored figure, perched atop a ragged cliff overlooking the scene, swayed to and fro with the wind, an -disallowed_word- particularly crossword puzzles!), flowers, napping, warm weather, birdwatching, long, quiet strolls through the forest.... Uhm, am I boring you?
Dislikes: Cold weather!!, asparagus, being bullied (*shivers*), rap music.... I also dislike fighting, although I DO fight when I have to.

Interesting Facts

I thought you would find a section dedicated to all my "interesting facts" would amuse you, so I decided to add this...

•I have a bit of a sweet tooth. I'm especially addicted to these chocolate-covered biscuit sticks my owner buys...
•I'm afraid of spiders.... I have been ever since a terrible nightmare I had long ago.
•I've kept a journal containing records of my life ever since I was 10.
•I can whistle better than anyone else I know.
•I am a fan of classical music.
•I hate haircuts, obviously. I haven't had one in a very long time.

My Personality

Alright, let's move onto my personality. When asked to describe myself (which isn't often!), I tend to say negative things about certain aspects of mine, uhm.... So, I'll try my best to describe myself as best as possible, without making myself sound like a total idiot.

Dweeb". "Dork". "Nerd". "Loser". "Geek". "Idiot". Those are some of the many names I've been called over the years. And - who can blame me for this? - those names have had a big impact upon me. In fact, all of the insults I've absorbed over the years have most likely molded me into who I am today. Overall, one could call me a "dork", which is the one term I don't mind being taunted with...much. I don't really follow any of today's trends, and when I start mumbling about how beautiful the Carmina Burana is, people stare at me as if I'm an alien. ...What's the Carmina Burana? Well, you see, it's this orchestral piece of work... Gah, it's hopeless. I'll never fit in with society.
Mmm. I keep rambling on about other things, when all you really want to know about is who I am. I guess I better focus on what I'm trying to be doing, from now on...
I've been told time and time again that I am a big, soft-hearted fool. And you know what? I agree with them one-hundred percent. I have no spine whatsoever, I can't really stand up for myself when I'm in sticky situations. I try to please everyone I know, usually to a fault. In fact, if you ask politely enough, you could probably get me to happily jump off a cliff while wearing a ballerina outfit. It's a sad but true fact, friends.
I'm a nice guy. Or at least, I believe myself to be a nice guy. Personally, I believe myself to be friendlier, smarter, and more polite than most males. Then again, why wouldn't ALL males say the same exact thing about themselves? I suppose you'll just have to get to know me better to find out if what I've said is true. Besides playing the role of Mr. Polite, I can be...well, I'll call it "different".... I like cooking (although it's a tad difficult with paws 'n' claws), I like gardening. I cry like a pup when I fall down and give myself a boo-boo. I like having conversations with females more than males, because I feel more comfortable around females. I like...ugh, flowers. See? I'm not very masculine, when you think about it. ...Just to answer the question you are probably thinking, I'd like to say that I AM attracted to females. Got it? You sure? Alright, good...
I don't talk very much, unless I've grown to be fond of someone and can trust their presence. Otherwise, I can be a complete blowhard, explaining all of my deep, personal thoughts to the person I'm with. So, I beg of you, don't think of me as boring the first time you meet me. Maybe if you spend a little time with me, I'll eventually open up and become more interesting! *laughs*
Despite what I have just told you, I am not a complete wimp. When people are bullying me, I'm a complete pushover. But when there are people offending the people I care about, it's a completely different story. People come and go, come and go in my life. They've always done so. But there are a few that have stuck by my side through everything - a rare few that I could not live without. I will...not let you touch my friends. Don't you even think about causing them pain and misery, because I swear to God, if you do, I'll make your life worse than you could ever imagine.

Anatomy and Appearance

Let's start with the basics, shall we? My body is smaller than the average wolf's, and compared to most wolves of my same species, I only come up to their shoulders. To make me appear even more wimpy, my body and limbs are also very skinny (despite the fact that I'm in perfect health).
Shall we move onto my looks? Well, I don't think I need to explain my looks - it's clear that I'm the most beautiful wolf to have set foot on this world. ...Naw, I'm just kidding, I'll go ahead and explain.
What's noticeably different on my body, compared to most Kousaian Highland Wolves, is that I have a tuft of hair adorning my head. Not fur, hair. It's a tangled mess of pinkish-red hair that flops all over my face when I walk. It's length isn't too efficient, but I've gotten used to wearing it in this "style". And besides, there's a certain someone who absolutely adores my hair, and would be very disappointed if I had it chopped off.
Underneath a few curls of hair hide my soft, emerald eyes. Many Kousaian Highland Wolves have green eyes, so this isn't one of my special features. Upon my chest is a large tuft of sky-blue fur, which cascades down my front and ends abruptly in between my two sets of legs.
If you keep going down further, you'll notice that my spiffy orange fur melts into a pitch black fur on my front left leg. Many have said that it looks like I'm wearing a glove, but it's actually a permanent tattoo... Do you see that bright red gem embedded in the back of my paw? In the world I live in, that's called an Exsphere. Exspheres in my world are these mana-infused gemstones that all sorts of folk - especially those in the army - like to have embedded in their skin. The mana within the Exspheres enhance the body's performance, allowing the body to be stronger and have more endurance than before. However, once an Exsphere is forced into the body, all these strange markings appear on the body. Nobody knows exactly why, but some scientists from my world speculate that the marked areas are where the body is saturated with the Exsphere's mana. ...Did I explain that well enough? Anyway, the whole black marking on my leg is due to the Exsphere. Same with the three white bars on my right thigh.
Continuing on, you'll notice that I have a thick, green stripe that runs along the back of my neck, which stretches over my shoulders. A red line blurs the edge of the green, then gradually grows back into my familiar orange.
From here on out, two blue stripes on both sides of my body run along my sides, until they stop and morph into one big "belt" of blue, which wraps around my back. After the band of blue, the two stripes continue down my two legs, and melt into two different hoops of blue at my paws. Like I said, if you pay attention to my right thigh, you'll see those three white bar tattoos. They tend to glow whenever I'm in combat, just like my Exsphere.
Finally, you've reached my, errr, my backside, as well as my tail. My tail is longer (and more beautiful!) than most wolves of my species, and what's even stranger is the fact that my tail is striped. I have lovely, even, red-and-orange stripes running down my tail, which ends in a few ragged, loose furs.
So basically, the bottom line is that I'm gorgeous! No, kidding, kidding...

World

Ahh, yes. This is the continent from which I come from - the land of Kousai. Amazing, is it not? It has everything; from majestic mountain ranges to the glimmering sea, to endless forests that blanket the valleys... I could go on, actually. Anyway, my homeland is Kaen, the large country to the left of the continent. I currently live at one of Kaen's army bases, which is located high within the Yokaku Mountains. It's marked as a blue dot on the map!
Oh, by the way, drag the image into the URL bar to view the map in its full size, if you're having trouble spotting everything on that squished version of it. *chuckles*

Friends and Family

Skyra;; There's much to say about this little one. We met a few years ago, in the weirdest of situations.... At first, she was deeply afraid of me, for reasons I cannot begin to explain. And yet, our fates eventually caught up with us, and we were soon traveling side by side. That was when she began to blossom, and when we began to gain trust within another. She's the sweetest little creature I've ever met, I swear. She can be modest and even a tad cold when with others, but when we're alone together, she's the most fun person to be around.... She's my only true best friend. I wouldn't give our friendship up for the world.

Dad;; Okay, okay, he's not my biological father, but Master Kasairaa is like a father to me. After my parents perished, Dad took Nhealas, Sarra and I in, and he treated us like his own children. And when Sarra and Nhealas were both murdered, he cared for me and comforted me, just like any other parent would.... He raised me to become who I am. I am truly thankful for Dad's care and trust...

Uncle Jorjhen;; Once again, he's not related to me by blood. He is Dad's younger brother, and...I have to say, I don't think he likes me very much. Ever since I was a pup, when I was taken in, he's treated me almost as though I...wasn't worthy of being in his presence. It's a little odd, I don't know what I'm doing to make him act in such a way. He's such an intelligent guy.... I wish we had a better uncle-nephew relationship.

Enemies

Oh, I probably have one or two.... There are none that I am aware of at the moment, though!

Affection

Skyra... since the very first day on which we laughed together, without a care in the world of who heard us, who noticed us... I realized there was something about you that I couldn't ignore. As we matured together throughout our journeys, I couldn't help but grow to love every part of you... And now, we have both admitted our feelings for each other, and I... I can't help but feel like the king of the world. I can't begin to explain, how...happy, you make me feel, when you look at me with your trusting, emotional eyes...
I don't care if the world hates you.
I don't care if you carry a monster within yourself.
You make my heart soar. You've given me a reason to continue stepping down the path of life.
I love you, sweetheart... And I will never leave your side.

Treasures

These are all of the special goods I've obtained over the years. I take pride in owning my items, so, uhh, please don't ask for them or anything...

Dear little Skyra made this scarf for my birthday, a year ago. I can't thank her enough for putting such time and effort into making me such a gift. You can't tell from here, but there are some really intricate designs within the threads, purposely placed there. It's a work of art, in my eyes...

I found this a while back, laying in the ruins of a centuries-old castle. I don't understand why I'm drawn to a weapon, of all things... Along its edge, there's ancient lettering carved into it. The ancient writing reads "Devastation"... I can understand why.

Journal

7-20-08: Today, my Neopets petpage was finally finished! And to celebrate, my owner gave me a new journal to write in. I'm grateful, because my old journal was falling apart, anyway.
So I like my page quite a bit, especially the colors. It's a nice orange-red, which is really pleasing to the eyes. The only thing I have to complain about is the drawing of myself that my owner did. You know, that one to the right of all of my information? It's okay, but Dragon forgot to shade it. And she really needs to work on her wolf anatomy!! Don't tell her I said that, though. She probably wouldn't like to know...
In other news, I've discovered that tiramisu cake is very delicious. You should try it sometime.

Artwork

There have been a few who have been kind enough to make their own art, featuring me! These are all of the works of art people have made for me so far. Thanks to everyone who is listed!

Makeables

...Sorry for the misleading title, but there are actually no custom makeables made by Dragon on this page! Instead, she just couldn't come up with a good name for this particular section. This is where a bunch of makeables made by other many kind people go. All the makeables were made to look like me by Dragon, with permission from the makers... of course.

Lyrics

Do you hear that song playing in the background? Yes? No? Well, if you can't, I'll assure you that there IS supposed to be background music for this page. That music is from one of the bands my owner listens to, and it's actually one of my favorite songs from any band I've ever heard. My owner and I both like it so much because the lyrics seem to suit me very well - all except for one little line. If only the line mentioned "her", instead of "him", it would be perfect! ...Oh well. Here are the lyrics, anyway:

In this world you tried
Not leaving me alone behind.
There's no other way.
I prayed to the gods let him stay.
The memories ease the pain inside,
Now I know why.

All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments imagine you here.
All of my memories keep you near.
Your silent whispers, silent tears.

Made me promise I'd try
To find my way back in this life.
I hope there is a way
To give me a sign you're ok.
Reminds me again it's worth it all
So I can go on.

All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments imagine you here.
All of my memories keep you near.
Your silent whispers, silent tears.

Together in all these memories
I see your smile.
All the memories I hold dear.
Darling, you know I will love you
Until the end of time.

All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments imagine you here.
All of my memories keep you near.
Your silent whispers, silent tears.

All of my memories....
