However, please use Internet Explorer, as I have music, and if you don't care for it, then you can press Esc to stop it at any time. This application is quiet long, so I suggest that you make yourself comfortable! The exits are located at the upper left, and right hand corners of your browser, enjoy!

Introduction.

Snap.

Running quickly through the woods you find yourself lost in, the twigs beneath your feat crack, the leaves crumble, and the damp earth sinks. You quickly jolt to a halt when you felt something tap on your head, and upon feeling it, you realized it was beginning to rain. With a sigh you run towards the lightest spot in the woods that you can find, and hope that there is someone there that can help you. And that they're friendly.

All light had vanished and all you had left to rely on was the senses aside from sight. Soon the crunching of plants stopped and now the pitter patter of stepping on cold and clammy rock echoed around you. You figure that rock must mean some sort of base that ends up with a wall, so you extend your arms forward feeling for.. anything.

Slowly walking forward, you soon feel a sudden increase in the down pour of rain, but you continue at the same slow, cautious pace. A cold, hard, rough surface presses against your fingers, startling you. From the spacing between the surfaces, you conclude that you are grasping onto bars, or a fence. You feel your way along the fence looking for a gate. Soon you grab onto a bar and a loud screech was produced. You assume that you've just found the gate.

You push the gate in, causing a loud irritating squeak. The rain continued to fall, and then lightning struck, which caused a brief clarity in your vision. The sudden change from darkness to light blurred your vision slightly, but you now know that you are standing in a grave yard. Which means that there will be a structure for shelter, so you begin to search for it.

Stopping for a moment of rest, you hear the rustle of leaves, but it wasn't the same rustle caused by the wind amongst the trees. This noise adds to your already paranoid mind, and you continue to search for shelter. Another crack of lightning struck causing you to jump and you could swear that you caught a glimpse of a shimmer. A shimmer like you'd see in a cat's eye when light reflects upon it.

From a fear of a strange animal walking along you, you dart foward not taking into consideration of your surroundings. Another crack of lightning flashes, and you turn your head as far back as it will go to see if you are being followed. The light that had just as soon came left, and not being able to see, you stumble off of the path and you run full speed into a grave.

Inhaling greatly, eyes wide, you fall face forward into the ground. Trying to stand up, you find that you cannot, as there is an incredibly sharp pain in your right leg. Crack. Another strand of lightning. You roll up your pants leg quickly and see a number of streams of blood being swept away by rain.

The sight makes you woozy and darkness soon falls. Chills shoot up your back, your leg was aching, you still have an extreme paranoia, and not to mention that you were no doubt lost. The last crack of lightning that you can remember strikes, and standing on the grave you had just tripped over was a creature- towering over you.

Your mind then floated away, your body lie motionless.

Ability.

As you may have noticed, Kirri has an excessive amount of bandages wrapped around various parts of her. What exactly is the importance of these bandages? Could it be decoration so the design isn't too plain? Or could it be that they do, in fact, have some importance in the role of Kirri's design? Well. Both.

Without the bandages, just imagine her design. It'd basically just be a regular shadow krawk.. but pink instead of purple-blue. Of course Kirri has other small extra things to her design, but even with them, she would remain a little plain. I tried not to add too many bandages, but they do play an important role, so I had to make it a large number.

As for the actual importance of them, I'll let that detail unfold through out the application. I'm telling you this under the ability section. So that should imply something about them. :)

Personality.

Peaceful, quiet, solitary, and alone. Kirri walks amongst the dead and has no complaints. She loves the silence, the peace, and the scenery. Rain sprinkling the death filled earth, pattering against the stone that binds them, covering the charcoal colored bars, patting down the fur that covers her, the smell of the rain against the bark and emerald leaves of the oaks.. the sight of a desolate graveyard outlined by a grey sprinkle of hope.

If you were to see Kirri walking down the streets of where ever you happened to be, you'd be given the impression of sorrow. She walks with her head lowered from all the weight of the dead, her paws drag with each step, the only part of her that seems alive are the bandages that dance in the wind with every step she takes, almost as if they were taunting her. Mocking her meloncholy ways.

However, despite her gloomy appearance, she is content with herself. As dead as she may seem, she is thankful to be alive. To walk, to breathe, to be able to see the wonderful things in life. She has a fiery soul and a temper to match it, so if she does come across any living being, she tends to be intimidating. This leads to her being lonely at times, but she never lets that get her down.

Description.

Kirri differs from your average krawk in several physical ways. The main thing being she is covered in fur. Not peach fuzz, but a thick coat of long, elegant, fur. The vast majority of her coat ranges from a deep grey to a lighter grey. Her mane, stomach, and the tip end of her tail fur varies in color as well- pink and purple.

Her eyes are lemon colored, and she has two patches of pink-purple fur around them. On her cheeks rest two "whisker" like things that you'd typically see on an oriental style dragon. She has two, very sharp, very hard horns that are light grey, and unlike krawks, she has ears.

Wrapped around her tail and both of her arms are cream colored bandages. For the most part, they're tightly wrapped and near the middle of the bandage they become loose, which causes them to almost fly around as she walks.

She has four toes on each of her back paws, and her front paws have three fingers. Her back paws are what you'd think of as cybunny feet. She has a light pink, cat-like nose, she's long, sleek, very fast, and she is a lot stronger then she looks.

Future Plans.

This section is about what will happen to/with Kirri if she comes to live with me. Most of which will happen right away.

The first thing I plan to do is paint her shadow. Shadow krawks are fairly common, but you can imagine why. They're beautiful. I'm sure most of your applicants are keeping her fire, because like shadow, that is a beautiful paint job- but I thought I'd give you a break from all of the fire designs. Also shadow because.. it matches! I already have the paint brush, you can see it in my gallery.

The second thing I'll do, is attach a sklyde. This'll be her petpet, Expiration, of course. Again, if you look in my gallery, you can see that I've already purchased a sklyde.

Third being books. Also in my gallery sits a number of books that I will read to Kirri. I want Kirri to be smart because with all of the free time she has in the graveyard, she has been bound to read the grave stones once.. or maybe even twice.

Fourth things, her custom pet lookup. To see what it will look like, you can see it here. I will also be giving her her petpage; which, for now, will be this layout and some of this content. However for the most part, I'll be changing and editing the content.

After this I'll most likely begin searching for a suitable RP partner, more then likely a krawk. There are tons of krawk owners at Neopound, and lots of them RP. If I don't have any luck there, I'm sure I'll be able to find some on the RP boards.

Last but not least, I will surely be entering her in the BC. For proof that I am, in fact, cappable of winning in the BC, click here.

About Me PT.1.

Here's a little bit about the real me, the person behind the computer. My name is Maggie and I'm sixteen years old. I've been around computers for literally my entire life. In fact, there has never been a time when I haven't been around a computer. I'm not just an internet freak, I'm computer smart as well. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not a complete nerd. I do have a life that doesn't involve my beloved computer.

The one thing I love more then life is music. I'm a music freak, a huge one. Sure I am judged as an "emo", so you'd think I listen to hardxcore music, metal, softcore, and all of that mess. Well, yes, I do, but I listen to a lot more then that too. I appreciate all genres, some more then others. At the moment I'd say I like techno more then the rest. I'm such a music lover that there won't be a time when I don't have my iPod with me. Just ask my friends. :D

Sports is my thing, I'm incredibly athletic and my metabolism makes me have constant energy. I can't shoot baskets or hit a softball, volleyball is too complicated and I greatly dislike soccer- too much stuff to wear, SO, I stick to simple ol' running. I'm good at anything running based. I'm one of the best varisty girls on my cross country team, and I've gone to three heptathalons and state with track.

Intelligence is also important to me, and I currently have a 4.0 GPA. I haven't made a B since sixth grade, I join a lot of clubs, I'm really active with my school, and I enjoy it. I don't find school as horrid as people make it out to be. But, no, I'm not a "nerd" or anything, I do have a life.

About Me PT.2.

But who needs a life when there's an internet! As I said, computers are my life. I'm computer savvy, I know the internet and how to use it, I've yet to have a virus, and I just know what I'm doing. There are plenty of sites that I used to be active in, such as Habbo Hotel, Subeta, Maplestory, ROSE, Nutrinopets, and lotslots more. However, Neopets differs from all of them.

Neopets is something that I've been with since the beginning. I loved it from the start, and I love it now. Sure, I don't exactly love the changes that have occured- such as prices for things, avatar obsessions, internet fame, but I do still love Neopets as a whole.

This site has improved my art skills ten fold, my writing is literate, and just much more intelligently put then it used to be. I've made a lot of friends on here that I deeply care for, and consider people that I can trust. I have a lot of fun on Neopets, and I plan on staying for a long time.

My history on this site goes as such, a wreckless child at a young age joined Neopets. She exploited a Fruit Machine glitch gaining her everything she could ever want. Thus. Frozen. I then created this account, skixxix93142, named after my very first dog. Since then everything has gone wonderfully. (:

Companion.

Perhaps she wasn't meant to be entirely alone after all. Soon after being abandoned, she stumbled across this fellow. A rare species to just find, really. She had just started coming to the graveyard when she found a rather large mound of bones piled up on the road, so she began to carry them out of the graveyard.

After a while of carrying, she went to pick up another small pile of bones when something bit her. She quickly dropped her small pile and examined the bite. A tiny trickle of blood ran down her paw and she glared into the pile of bones. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Just a pile of bones. Then something moved.

A baby sklyde jumped from the pile and stood beneath Kirri. She turned her head in a questioning motion, and the small sklyde started playfully jumping from side to side. He'd then pounce forward, nibble on Kirri's paw, then jump backward with the front side of his body down and his rear end raised in the air.

Kirri reached over and grabbed the sklyde by one of his spine bones and held him in front of her. She examined him and he was fairly healthy, obviously energetic, and sklydes can't speak, so what harm could the little guy be? She decided to keep him so she wouldn't be entirely alone, and named him Expiration. I wonder why.

Why Me.

This is a relatively important section in my mind. What makes me so special? Why should you choose me over the other million and seven people that have applied for Hael? Sure my art is decent and I am literate, but, hopefully, that isn't what makes a great owner. So here's a section dedicated toward letting you know why I'd make a good owner for Hael not just because I can write, or draw.

Experience, literacy, hiatus, security. I'll start with experience. My main account says that I've been with neopets for 53 months, or approximately 4.4 years, which, is a fairly long time. In that long time through Neopets I've learned the ins and outs of Neo, how it works, what to do if you want something, how to go about getting it, the works. I've learned begging gets you no where but closer to being frozen, the rules do in fact apply to me, and I say this because some people feel like they're "too good" for rules, I know cheating is wrong, and I've never been compelled to do it.

Yay for grammatically correct and literate people! I don't type like a 'n00b', I don't use chat speak, I don't use leet speak, and I don't type like a scene kid who adds 'kthx' to every other word. Capitilization, grammar, apostrophes, and all of that jazz are all things that I'm familiar with. Typing in chat speak, in my opinion, gives off the impression that you're ignorant, and lazy. Neither of which I am, and I just prefer to type like an intelligent person.

Vacations? What?! In my entire life I've only had one vacation, and I was thirteen years old at the time. Unless I'm moving, or I've died, I will be on Neopets. Yes I'm addicted, yes it really won't help me in the future, yes I love it. Neopets is a stress reliever, my own person world, a place where I can write or draw, and it's just fun. With the exception of TNT cracking down on the rules whip.

Last but certainly not least, security. As in, QAL. I've lent pets, I've been lent pets, transferred pets, fostered, adopted, all smoothly. The QAL is my best friend on Neo, and it has yet to fail me. With proper planning and the QAL, Kirri will be in the safety of my account, if I'm chosen that is.

Relations.

I'd like you to meet Naidixie. She is my mutant Ixi. She was given to me by my amazing friend Hannah when Di was only 100 days old or so, and I just recently decided for her to be mutant, and I changed her. I'm incredibly big on custom designs, because sure the Neopet artists are very good at their artwork, but I have other ideas. Di's design is a little long and kind of complicated, so if you'd like to see it feel free to browse about her lookup.

This is my big loveable oaf Herald. My friend quit quiet some time about and she asked me if I'd like Herald. I put him on my side and one day I thought to myself that he'd make a wonderful royal boy grarrl. So I moved him to my main, and now he sits there today royal. Then his design came to me and I'm now working everything out.

History.

Transfer History.

When and if transfer time comes, there will be no need for the fear of losing Rhaegal. I'm very experienced with the Quick Adoption Link, and I've never lost a pet. I used to lend out werelupe, snow, huggy, and orange grundo to friends and people on the AC, and none of them have ever been stolen or lost during a transfer. I've also borrowed my share of pets, which also resulted in smooth transfers.

Sure there will always be a small chance of losing him, but with planning and the QAL I'm sure nothing will go wrong. For proof that I know the QAL, I've posted the link in this section.

Adoptables.

Here's a set of adoptables that will be put on Kirri's petpage if I adopt her. At the moment I only have the four basic colors and some custom adoptables that I made for some friends. Because of numerous people asking if I could make them into draik adoptables, I decided to add draik as well. If I adopt Kirri, the rest of the available krawk colors will be added.

There are a number of ways you can contact me if need be. :)

Thanks.

First and foremost, I'd like to thank you, Ryan. Without you there would be no Kirri, and I wouldn't be here making this application. This gave me new challenges, a totally new experience, I've made friends along the way, I've learned things, and I've just had a total blast making this application. It was a lot of fun, I don't have a single regret, and I am very happy with this outcome. I love her design, I love her personality, and frankly, I love her. I've grown attached to her, and I feel as if I've made her come to life just by making an application. I wish you the best of luck with choosing an owner, and good luck to all contestants.

I'd like to thank the many people at Neopound and TNO that I've been talking to through PMs that have helped me so much with my application. All of the critiquing, comments, and suggestions have helped tremedously, thank you all!

My dear good friend Laska donated 99k toward Kirri's paint brush fund, so I'd like to give her a special thank you. And just because I love her to death and she's amazing!

Conclusion.

Warmth caresses your face and when your eyes flutter open, you are embraced by a sea of green. You extend your arms over your head, unfold your legs, stretch, and then you put your arms under your head. Staring at the sky you think to yourself, what a dream.

You lie in the soft grass basking in the sun for a minute with your eyes closed, and take in a deep breath. Opening your eyes you see wisps of clouds which makes you think. Abrutply, you sit up and roll up your pants leg to see bandages. The same bandages that were dancing in your eyes in the.. dream?
