Artemis was named after the cat in Sailor Moon. c:

Nya: A really nice person on the boards who was quitting gave me Artemis. It was all because Poko posted on the forum topic, "What's your dream petpet?" with "A faellie!" Soon enough, a pleasant surprise was gifted to us with Artemis inside. Even better, a friend of ours sent us a paint brush for him! Thank you so much. ^__^

WHEN I WAS A KID, I was pretty isolated. Not that people didn't try to "reach out" to me or anything and all, I just kinda didn't reach back. I don't know /what/ my problem was. I traveled everywhere. Things haven't changed much, as you can see... hah.. But, back then, I couldn't fly or anything like that. I would sit on this sad old hill and sigh at everything. It was terrible. I was blue, quite literally, and my ears were… raggedy and thin. I was just regular. Which isn't a bad thing, it just didn't suit me. Occasionally, I would set up camp with a red tent when rain began pouring. Poko had this whole thing about being okay with her pets roaming around where ever they wanted to, except for Snow at the time, of course. She was known as Carrot, then. I don't think she could have handled anything by herself during that state of mind. But moving on...
I finally found an ambition in my life one night. The moon hung low over head that evening with zillions of stars sparkling and dazzling all around it. It was incredible. I didn't know at the time, but now I've found a name to put with these stars; the Milky Way. It... isn't too milky, really, but it's an amazing sight nonetheless. I was perched on the tallest tree I could find, my arms and cheeks scratched from the small twigs and thorns, as I made my way higher and higher towards the sky. The field below me was something more common to me than my own fur; I knew every blade of grass that sprouted and every pebble's position. The tree I was on was actually the only one within a couple miles around that meadow. Everything was covered in honey light, every morning, afternoon, and evening. Nighttime was the only moment it shifted to something new and exciting. It was white, all over. White and black and wispy blue, all because of the moon. So, how natural was it that I wanted to go there; someplace wonderful and interesting? I wanted to fixate my eyes on the moon and the stars for the rest of time. Every inch I felt myself move across the branches, the closer I felt towards the sky. But... Well, my memory sort of gives out around here, but I believe that I heard a horrible snap followed by another, and before I knew it the moon was going crazy, dancing with motion, blurry as water, and it flew above my head in a flash. The stars followed, of course, and I collided with the earth. My vision went black.

You watch as Nyazokiar rubs an area on back of his head, which you guess was probably the location that he had fallen on. He makes a weary grin while catching his talking breath.

^ ^;; Well, that's not all there is, of course. We still have to cover a few more things, like when my appearance began changing and I forgot all about... Everything, really.

IT'S NOT LIKE I PLANNED for this to happen. I didn't so much mind my blue coat and matching eyes. It was... normal, yes, but... I didn't really think of it. For some reason though, it was like I didn't have a choice. I told you the moon flew up suddenly and then my vision cut out-- but when I opened my eyes, the sun was rising. I was very confused. Hadn't I just landed on the ground? Or… What had happened? As I stood, my head spun. Reeling and whirling, I had to sit down next to the tree for support. Morning glories were blooming all along side of it, which was a really nice thing to focus on while you collected your thoughts. Only… I /couldn't/ collect my thoughts. Everything had blanked. White. A fresh start. An untouched canvas. Where did I come from? Where was I? More importantly, where was I going? I remembered a name and a figure, more than just a face. Her caramel colored hair and brown eyes almost made my sore body drag itself home for some milk and cookies, and maybe an ice pack. But… which direction was home? I had forgotten everything else other than this person. Every blade of grass, every pebble's seat- forgotten. I looked up and down. The field of golden grass seemed to carry on forever. There wasn't anything within miles of where I was. So... I stretched. And when I stretched, I felt something new move. It was like realizing you had an extra finger. Two little white wings arched from my back. I curved and turned and peaked over my shoulders but I could hardly see the new addition. Sighing, I accepted that this discovery just wasn't going to get me anywhere. But then I stopped. A hot chill rushed through my body as I replayed what fragments I just recollected. Falling, landing, forgetting. Wings. White wings. I had fallen and hit my head, that was for sure, and now I had these wings… Was I—could I possibly be… an angel?! No, it couldn't be true! If I was an angel I couldn't get that ice pack, or those cookies— or, well, a lot of things, really. But I knew it just couldn't be true. So, I figured, if I really //was// an angel, I might as well try flying. And if it doesn't work out so great, then— well I guess I'd just realize I wasn't dreaming. Up the tree I went again, up to the very top where I noticed a few branches must have snapped. I looked down and saw them sleeping in the grass. Shrugging, I found a stable branch and spread these new wings, rising to my tip toes. I've gotta say, I was pretty nervous. My palms were sweating and I could feel all the blood racing to my head. One, two… I sprang off with a momentary confidence, but only to find myself twisting and turning and— how do I stop?! I decided soaring higher would reduce my chance of crashing, which it did. Getting used to it all, I could see a dark blue swept across the land to my right and followed my instinct home. Amazing, right?! D:
