Hi, ash_of_the_sea_, welcome to Spirit's page. I know its plain and boring, but I'm simply too lazy to make a good layout; I can do a lot more with CSS XD. Spirit: -pops up randomly- Hi ash_of_the_sea_ ! Do you like sweets?
-pushes Spirit away- Anyway, Spirit is a pet that I created way back in 2003, when they redid the unis. She was red at the time, and soon enough, she was painted Christmas. Her page came soon after that. The original Spirit has been frozen, obviously, but she was too important to me to be left frozen, so she was recreated. Her now famous sweets obsession didn't come until afterwards, in early 2005, believe it or not. Okay, moving on to the page now.

Spirit doesn't really have a story, just a few 'incidents' in her life. Spirit: Can't we talk about a more exciting topic? Like sweets!?
Spirit's life changed for the first time when she suddenly disappeared from Neopia. She was only gone for a few days, but during these few days, her friends were devastated, as they thought she was gone forever. No one ever understood exactly the cause of Spirit's disappearance, only strains of conversation relating to a 'frozen account' . Spirit: It was really scary!
Soon after this, Spirit met Ban, a handsome, brown stallion owned by one of Sprinter's friends. They quickly fell in love, and soon, Spirit gave birth to a daughter she named Taythea_cloud. For a few months, everything was perfect between the young family, but soon, Ban and Spirit began to fight a lot, both verbally and physically. Eventually, it proved to be too much for them, and Ban left Spirit, taking their daughter with him. At first, Ban was saddened that Spirit no longer cared for him, but as he saw her walking around without a care in the world, as if their love had meant nothing, he began to grow angry.
As his anger grew, he began to brainwash his daughter against her mother, telling her that she was the cause for the breakup, never mentioning that he was the one that had left, as well as the one who sparked Spirit's anger to begin with. However, Tay believed her father, and the young filly grew to hate and resent her mother for all the turmoil in her life. Spirit grew hurt and angry at her daughter's betrayal, and even more so at Ban for causing it all. As time wore on, the fights continued, though this time about their daughter.
During this time, Spirit met another stallion, named Acid. Unlike Ban, Acid wasn't handsome; he had been tortured in the past, and as a result, was missing his eyes and hooves, and oozed acid from one of his front legs. However, despite his unpleasant appearance, he had a heart of gold, and Spirit fell for him quickly, as her pained heart ached for someone during this time. Around the same time, Ban found love as well, in a place close to home: Spirit's best friend, Clem. The two soon had a daughter named Orchid, who was quickly pulled into the battle by her half sister. Tay tried to get Orchid to side with her in the still-raging battle between her parents, but Orchid refused to get involved.
The months passed, and the fighting between the family continued. Ban grew even angrier when he saw Spirit with a new mate, and he became even nastier toward her. Tay's anger also grew, as she thought that her parents' new mates were trying to replace her real parents. However, she soon turned to Clem as a mother, since she had no desire to have her real mother in her life anymore.
All this fighting angered Spirit so much that she turned into a uni that nobody knew. She lashed out at her friends and family, and at times was so full of anger that it was frightening. The fighting, previously between just her and Ban's family, soon expanded to involve everyone she knew. Acid tried to protect Spirit from her friends' anger, as well as keep her in line, but it was difficult. There was just too much for one uni to handle.
One day, it all came to a head, and Spirit attacked another pet that happened to irritate her. A brutal fight went on between the two neopets, and because of her sheer size and furious anger, Spirit walked away as the winner. However, the battle had left Spirit with serious injuries, and she nearly lost her life.
Finding herself so close to death calmed Spirit's anger, and changed her outlook on life. She realized that the past few months of furious fighting had done nothing but worsen the situation she was in. She decided to forget about Ban, and as much as it hurt, even her daughter. As much as she wanted her daughter in her life, she knew that with all that Ban put into the filly's head, it was unlikely that she would ever love her mother again.
This experience also impacted Spirit's friends. They decided they needed to listen to Spirit, instead of being angry with her. Soon, they were all informed that Ban was the cause of most of the entire situation, and now that spoke without anger, they believed her. When they truly thought about the situation, it was clear that Ban had been the one to instigate Spirit. As soon as Clem found out, she left her already failing relationship with Ban, and took Orchid with her. After a while, even Tay realized that her father was wrong, and she apologized to her mother for all she had said. It took some time, but Spirit and her daughter eventually formed a good relationship.
While Spirit's life was looking up, Ban's had fallen to shambles. His daughters were gone, most of his friends had left him, and he had little family. He decided to leave, and travel to a place far away, where he could perhaps find a new life, or at least some normalcy.
Spirit's life changed once again the following spring, when her owner decided to set her pets free. It was a decision that came without warning or reason, and everyone was frightened and upset at hearing the news. However, their owner didn't back out on her decision; she said goodbye to her pets, and let them go into the wild. Due to the fear and hurt in their minds, many of the pets scattered without a thought of their siblings, and thus lost contact with each other. Eloragirl, the kyrii, and Spirit were the only pets that remained, so they decided to travel together. Surviving in the wild wasn't as hard as they thought it was going to be, but it was lonely. Spirit and Eloragirl missed their adopted family, and felt hurt that their owner didn't want them. They had thought their owner would never give up on them. Spirit: -glares at me-
Several years have passed since then, and Spirit and Eloragirl have gotten used to their situation. They sleep wherever they can and eat whatever they can find, or at least Eloragirl does. Spirit would rather starve than eat anything but sweets, so she often raids candy shops and bakeries, as she can't afford to buy the large supply she needs. She also visits her family and friends often, unlike before. Life this time truly seems to be back to normal, but who knows when that could change, for Spirit's life has never been particularly normal.

Spirit is, compared to many, a fairly simple, ordinary uni. However, there's one factor that makes her stand out: her size. As you may have read already, she's one of the largest unis in Neopia, and her size often makes her intimidating. Smaller creatures (aka most creatures) must be careful around her; she's hyper, and it wouldn't be unlike her to accidentally step on someone. She gets so worked up that she doesn't always pay attention to where she steps. Luckily, this has never happened, but one can't be too careful around someone as large as Spirit.
As expected with her large size, Spirit also has larger-than-average wings. However, they have little use for her; instead of flying, she prefers to run (which she can do quite fast, despite her size). With so much weight, flying is awfully tiring for her, as her wings still aren't large enough to support so much weight. Spirit: I am NOT fat!
Uh..anyway, her wings can also be used for defense, and have been on occasion. Like all wings, they are hard at the top, and cause a considerable amount of pain when struck with. No matter what Spirit uses her wings for, they add a lot of beauty to her appearance.
Another thing that stands out about Spirit is her liking, or shall I say, obsession, for sweets. Anything loaded with sugar: cakes, cupcakes, ice cream, donuts, pastries or cookies, she loves it. Spirit: Ohh, I'm getting hungry already! D:
Yeah. As expected, her entire diet consists of sweets; no greens whatsoever (and lets not even mention meat). She hates them, and would never spend a day grazing like many unis do. Since she doesn't have a home, this sometimes means she has to go hungry, and she becomes sluggish, whiny and unhappy when deprived of sugar. Because of this, she tries to make sure she's always stocked up on sweets at any given time. Generally she does this by robbing stores, under the shroud of darkness. She always keeps a large sack tucked in her wreath for this occasion.
As expected with her high sugar intake, Spirit is very hyper and energetic. She doesn't stay still for very long, and talks quite a bit, usually in a bit of a motor-mouth fashion.
Because of her love of sweets, Spirit has always dreamed of having a bakery. Many years ago, she did begin one, but she soon realized that her hooves were quite useless when it came to baking. She also learned that being surrounded by sweets was a bad idea: it was too much temptation, and she ended up eating most of her inventory. Its not that she lacks self-control, but she simply cannot resist the temptation of sweets. Spirit: ;_;

Xx_Acidify_xX the uni- Acid is Spirit's mate. They met during the time Spirit and Ban were fighting, and her fragile heart opened up to him quickly. Acid is very protective of Spirit, though he's smaller than her, and will stop at nothing to keep her safe and happy. Spirit: Hi Acid!! ^__^
Taythea_cloud the uni- Tay is Spirit's daughter from her previous relationship with Ban. After Ban and Spirit broke up, they continued to fight, and Tay hated her mother for a while because the turmoil her life was in. She eventually came to her senses, and forgave Spirit. Thankfully, now, everything is peaceful between them.

The South family- Spirit lived with Ash and his parents for a while. She only knew his parents for a short time, but she knew Ash for about a year, and she liked him a lot. She even let him ride her at times, since, after all, a young boy's weight wouldn't affect Spirit at all.
The pets- Back in the old days, Sprinter had many pets: Arctic (bori), Arae (pteri), Eloragirl (kyrii), Kitty (cybunny), Hellboy (grarrl), Giha (kacheek), Lufiea (lupe), Jenna (lupe), Lucia (wocky), Chick (ixi), and Sierra (peophin). Spirit got along with most of them, but never developed a special closeness for any of them.
Eloragirl435_ the kyrii - Eloragirl is Spirit's only remaining adopted sister. They've stayed together for all these years, and have become close friends. Spirit is also handy to Eloragirl; she's plenty small enough to ride on Spirit's back, and Spirit's wings make a great blanket, or protection from the wind. Spirit: She can be annoying sometimes, though. We tend to fight a lot, because she gets annoyed at me craving sweets all the time. If she'd only understand!
Clemontinia the uni- Clem was Spirit's best friend. She was, unlike Spirit, smaller than the average uni. She was very sweet, and liked by everyone. Even Ban liked her, which caused a temporary rift in the friendship, until Clem came to her senses and left him. During the short amount of time they were together, they had a daughter named Orchid. Clem has since died, which has been hard on everyone. Spirit: I miss her so much ;___;. Me: -prods Skitts to revive her-
__Molly_by_golly__ the uni- Molly was similar to Spirit in one big way: she adored candy. Just candy though, not sweets in general, like Spirit. Nonetheless, because of her high sugar intake, Molly was hyper like Spirit, though she was generally more ditzy. Still, they had fun together, and considered each other close friends. Spirit has since lost contact with Molly. Spirit: I miss her too, but our owners were always fighting. Me: :0)
Jaydemyst the uni- Beautiful Jayde is tough for a mare, and has had a life to match. She's dealt with a lot of problems, and for a time, she even dealt with a vampire alter ego. Spirit avoided her during this time, out of fear, and this caused a temporary rift in the friendship.
Clare0960 the uni- Clare is a pretty, strawberry obsessed uni. Strawberries to her are like cupcakes and candy are to Spirit. She can be a bit snappy, which may have something to do with the past few years. During this time, she's had a lot of problems with love, mostly revolving around death. However, she's managed to have two beautiful foals, Brien and Jeana.
Emmie122504 the uni- Emmie was Clare's best friend, and one of Spirit's friends. However, they didn't spend much time together, so they don't know each other overly well. Sadly, Emmie has since died, so they won't get to know each other any better.
Malida the uni- Spirit only knew Malida for a short time, but they became friends during this time. Spirit has, obviously, since lost contact with Malida, and hasn't seen her in many years.

These are my drawings of Spirit. As indicated by the amount of them, she's always been one of my fave pets. I used to have even more pics of her, but they were deleted or overwrote through the years.


This is Spirit as a human, drawn for the first time in almost 5 years. For those who are wondering, the thing in Spirit's hand is a donut. This pic was started in early 2009, around the same time as her intro picture. My art interest died shortly after, so it sat unfinished for a long time. I finally colored it in late 2009, but my art interest died again, so I didn't finish it until early 2010.

This was a later attempt at pixelling, and the last pic I drew of Spirit for 4 years. As you can probably see, Spirit's wings look a lot different in this pic. I don't know why I decided to draw them that way, I think it was an experiment. Whatever it was, I don't like them, and I'm glad I stuck with regular wings. This pic was done in late 2005.

This is Ash riding Spirit. Obviously, the proportions are way off, as Ash was 5 feet tall at the time, and Spirit is 8+. Even worse, forgot to add Spirit's wings and ears, and her legs are drawn horribly. On top of that, Ash's legs are too short, and his feet are too small. I wonder how all this happened to go unnoticed when I drew it. This was done in mid 2005.

This is an Oekaki doodle I did, of Spirit and her best friend, Clem. I like how their manes came out, but that's about it XD. This was done in...you guessed it, early 2005.

This is a random pic of Spirit. I was extremely proud of the wings at the time, and even to this day I think they turned out pretty good. This was once again done in early 2005.

This was one of my first attempts at true pixelling. I still think the shading came out pretty good (for that time anyway) but the anatomy is...no. Also, the little creature was supposed to be very brief plan for a petpet. This was also done in early 2005.

This is Spirit in human form. As you can see, her human design was a little different back then. This was also done in early 2005.

This depicts when my main acc got frozen (when Spirit mysteriously 'disappeared' in her story). Spirit is sort of a ghost, which is why she looks lighter. Ash, one of my human characters, is comforting their friend, Clem (that's supposed to be him saying the words floating around). This was done back in early 2005.

This is an ancient pixel of Spirit I did way back in 2004; the earliest pic I have of her. I know, it's terrible, but we all had to start somewhere XD. Thankfully, at least for your eye health, I don't have my first pics of Spirit anymore XD.

Thank you everyone! If you have made me any that isn't here, please let me know. Drag the shrunken ones to your address bar to see them full sized. Spirit: Oooh, I love them! They're so pretty!

Thank you everyone! If you have made me one that isn't here, please let me know. I'm a uni custom hog XD. If you're wondering, yes, they're organized by size (and yes I DO have OCD). Spirit: Oooh, they're so pretty and adorable!! -bounces around-

These are my equine adoptables, which have finally been redrawn. They are custom only, so please don't ask me to make a specific color. Currently customs and trades are OPEN. Read my FAQ below for more info.
Rules:
-No entering in the beauty contest/art gallery, or claiming that you drew them. You'll only succeed in being reported
-No altering of the image or erasing my name. If I forgot a marking on your uni, just tell me and I'll fix it
-Don't take a custom that isn't made for you. Just ask, and I'll gladly make one of your own.
-Please do not rip me off in a trade. If I ask you for a trade and you don't want to do one, tell me; don't have me make my half, and then back out. I have a photographic memory, so don't think you can make me forget I requested you.
-Please use your custom when I make it for you. If you're going to let it sit here and rot, don't even ask me to make one, because it's a waste of my time. I'm not unfair; if its a real life issue keeping you off Neopets, I completely understand. However, if you're simply being lazy, thats another thing.
-Linking back to this page isn't required, but I'd rather you did
-I don't do application customs, so please don't ask

If you're wondering about anything, check here.
Why did you suddenly add the mistletoe on Spirit's horn? Well, in the pic it first appeared in (see Spirit's gallery), I added it just for decoration. However, the pic was her intro until the page was taken down, so whenever I asked for a custom from then on, everyone added it. So, the next time I drew her, I figured I might as well add it to her design, since her design was kind of boring anyway.
Acid is ugly! Why is a uni as pretty as Spirit with him? He's with her because he was created just for Spirit, and he looks the way he does because he was tortured. Spirit: Acid is not ugly! -stomples you to a pancake- Me: -lifts you up like they do on cartoons- Er...sorry about that ^^'
Why is Spirit's design so simple? Because I was unoriginal and unimaginative when I made her XD. Plus, I've grown to like it through the years. I wouldn't mind changing it, but not many people have customs open anymore (or are active on neo) so I wouldn't be able to get many new customs for her, therefore, why bother? Plus, I'm too lazy :3
Why aren't there any of your pics in your friend section? Because...-drumroll-...I'm too lazy! Not to mention, those headshots were one thing that stressed me years ago, because I always forgot something, and they always seemed to need a revamp. Therefore, I figure its best to exclude them.
Why was Spirit/your customs gone for so long? Because I went through a (long) stage that I hated my pets XD. Back in 2005, I had like 15 pages, and I was really overloaded and stressed out, since I also had school to deal with. That's why I decided to delete most of them. I kept my faves (Spirit, Arae, Arctic and Eloragirl), but eventually, they were wiped/ruined by neopets, and since I didn't have a back up, I just reset them.
Why did you delete my uni custom? Besides the fact I was a complete jerk back then, I deleted them to save space, as my current server was limited. If you want me to remake your custom, just ask me, and I apologize. I hate when a custom of mine gets deleted :(.
No worries this time, I've switched servers, and now have plenty of space. If a custom gets deleted now, its an accident on my part, but I now back up all my customs, so don't worry if you see 'file not found', it isn't lost. Just send me a neomail pointing it out and I'll reupload it.
Why did Spirit and Ban fight? I was mad at his owner over some insignificant fight we had, and I wanted to cut all ties from her. Yeah, I was very immature back then, but weren't we all? Spirit: We fought because he was a jerk e_e
Can my uni and Spirit RP? No. I don't RP my pets.
Can Spirit and my uni be friends? I don't care, as long as it's without RP XD. Spirit: Yay, friends!
Can I have a uni custom? Right now, sure :).
Why don't you do application customs? Because I'd rather not waste my time with a pet that might not even be permanent. This may sound rude, but I just don't like the idea of it. Feel free to ask me if you get the pet, though :).
I want to abandon my uni, but I still like the custom you made me, could you keep it? Sure :). I'm keeping all my customs anyway, because I like them.
Can we do a trade? Yes, I love trades. Don't fret if you have a uni, but no uni adoptables; if you have kyrii or bori adoptables (or any species of one of my old pets), feel free to do them one instead. The species of my old pets are: 3 lupes, ixi, pteri, kacheek, wocky, peophin, chomby and cybunny. If you're interested in doing one of my old pets, I'll send you a pic of them. Note that they don't have pages, but I've still saved all their customs/fan arts, and would gladly accept new ones. Oh, and if you don't have any adoptables to speak of, I'll also accept fan art :).
Omg! Where did you get the background and divider? I made them using PSP picture tubes; I won't take credit for actually drawing them. However, I did animate the divider, which is why it isn't the best. I'm lazy when it comes to animating :3.
Did you make the animation at the top? Can you make me one? Yes, I made the animation, and I'm quite proud of it. However, I won't make anyone a custom animation, it took me days just to make that one x_x.
Ash is a boy? He looks like a girl! Even though this isn't Spirit related, I thought since I had several pics of him in her gallery, I'd include this. Anyway, yes, I know he was girlish and dorky, but those pics were drawn in early 2005, when he was only 13-14 and my art wasn't very good. Ash is now 20 and much more manly and better drawn (or at least I think so).

Want to come back? Take this link, or perhaps a plushie? Sorry for them being without text boxes, but blame Neopets' stupid coding rules. I'm sure theres a way to make them work within the filter by now, but I'm far too lazy to find out. If you know and would like to enlighten me, go ahead. Spirit: You'll probably get a squealing neomail from her if you do link my page. She loves advertisement.
