Ohoohoohoohoohoo... Looks like we got a new visitor. Welcome, guy, girl, whoever you are to my page. We're kind of under construction right now. Keruha just adopted me and she's going to be busy with a lot of thing. College, Manth, making Sai feel better.

Still, if you're up to find out who I am, you've come to the right place. Let's start!

To start off, you should probably get to know me. It's a long story, so I'll start you off with the basics. Just don't fall asleep.

If you haven't suspected already, don't let the quad pictures fool you. By story and character I'm naturally an anthro. That's as in two legs, opposable thumbs, lives in a city. Nothing else. Yeah, I can't even turn into that big awesome oriental dragon me. Not that cool, huh? Just going to say that if you're wondering about my quad form, it is more like of my 'soul' kinda. At least, that is what we believe in Tuwaite.

What? What's Tuwaite? Well, you see... I grew up there. It's a small, lonely time capsule of island... somewhere out... in that.... large... large... ocean.

..............

I'm sorry. It's kind of hard for me to talk about. I miss it... I miss my mom, my dad... and my old friends... Even if everybody hated me because I couldn't live up to their dumb fairy tale. Argh! The elders were total sticks in the mud.

..............

Oh right, the fairy tale, I guess I should explain that. Well, you see these clouds on my skin right? I was born with them, and coincidently... or not... there was this old passed down Tuwaite fairytale. It was about a sweet, nice, gag-me little girl who got stuck in some washtub with goddess Kaiyo's duds and had a bad case of dye runnage. In other words, she had clouds on her butt. Can you guess what everybody thought I was incarnated from? From my date of birth to the date I... was taken away from the island, I was a golden girl. When I was little, I found it pretty cool. I was buried in gifts, got to eat gourmet meals every day, but then it started to get on my nerves. I mean, the gifts and food never got old, but the restrictions.... I didn't just have to look like her, I was supposed to be her! I was always scorned for things the other kids weren't. Caslean, you're supposed to make necklaces from the shells, not stomp them! Caslean you're supposed to forgive people for wronging you, that's what the girl in the fairytale did. Everyday, I would hear how I wasn't like the stupid girl in the stupid fairytale. Eventually... It just made me a rebel. I went out of my way to do my worst to displease them.... and then... I was taken away from them...

Okay, look, enough about my past. We'll get to it with my story. This section should be all about what I'm like as a person, so let's start. First off, if you couldn't tell, you can say I'm a loud kind of person. If I got an opinion, I'll express it, don't care if I tick anybody off. Don't take it the wrong way though. It's not like I go out of my way to start fights with people. I just... have opinions on things that I won't hold back on or lie about just to tickle people's ears.

Besides that, I also like to jump into action, because... I love action, danger, and adventure. To the point that I'll even... eheh... uhh... stalk people who are magnets to that stuff. Oh come on, it's not like I'm stalking them for other reasons.

Letsee... Other than that, perhaps you've heard people have called me rash. Don't believe them. I have thought things out plenty before I get started. Like the time I uh.... umm......

.................

Oh! Like the time I... Oh wait.... Hm...

Er... I'll get back to you on that, and the other things people have said about me being immature and reckless and slightly self-centered, don't believe them either. I'm sure they're just going on because I can't fit into their mold of what they think is perfect.

Letsee... To top it off, I'm quite creative and fun-loving. I love to remix music in my spare time, and Dash, my current guardian that is, let's me play for his parties sometimes. Hm... I'll have to tell you about him later. He is the coolest step-father ever.

And the last thing about who I am... this might surprise you, I am actually very curious. Not that I would be back in Tuwaite, but the city... the world of TV and vehicles. I mean, I've been here for a couple years but everyday I always seem to find something new about the world outside of my island. It's really exciting. I love learning. Well, except for the long boring lectures I get from my tutor about what colored fluids make what colored fluids with what colored dirt.

Like everybody else I have things I love, and things I can't stand. All my favorite things and least favorite things.

Thing: Music Color: Black Food: Fish Drink: Soda Possession: Remixer Book: Science Fiction Music: Dance, hip hop, techno Movie: Action

Game: Adventure Clothing: Anything Stylish Petpet: Quilin Season: Summer Place: The city Element: Fire Stone: Onyx Weapon: Bamboo stick

Music: Yeah, like this wasn't obvious enough. I love music, all the time. Ipods, mp3 players, concerts, cds. Name it, I have it. What's even better is to take these songs and give them my own twist. You don't know how good it feels to turn a song you don't like into something that's beyond awesome.

Shopping: Hah hah! Yeah, call me just another average teenage girl but I like dressing up. Trying out new outfits is the bomb, especially if they look really good on you. Don't mistake me for some teenybopper though. I don't do dresses with lace. I like what shouts 'life of the party'. Skirts, trick pants, jackets, spaghetti strap tops.

Bugs: There is something about bugs that is so utterly cool, especially if it's a grasshopper or praying mantis. I used to play with them when I was little. I loved watching the crawl all over me. Up my arm and down my shirt, on my nose, on my tail. Heh heh. Oh yeah, uh... childish obsessions over.

Adventure: Life is nothing without excitement. You can only live for so long so why live it crawling? Jump in! Take a hold of it by the horns and let it fly. I search for excitement, I love to explore, and I love to see the big bad guy taken down in the end. Sure, you could do that in a video game, but admit it. It's not the same.

Originality: You know how annoying it is to find something on tv when the next thing you switch to is what you just watched but with a bear instead of a dog. Really, is a little originality so much to ask for? I like it when people don't do what every body else is doing. It makes like interesting.

Thing: Stereotypes Color: Red/yellow Food: Sweet Potatoes Drink: Milk Possession: Her design Book: Biography Music: Blues Movie: Drama

Game: None in particular Clothing: Frilly Dresses Petpet: Feloreena Season: Winter Place: Any snowy place Element: Light Stone: Ruby Weapon: Faerie wand

Foofoo: I'm not a big fan of super girly things. 'Nuff said.

Fairytales: Okay, I admit this might be residual from being stuffed into a fairytale of my own during my childhood. Still, I'm not a big fan of fairytales. I don't care how the gingerbreadman escaped or how sleeping beauty awoke from her long sleep. They just keep reminding my of the Girl in the Goddess's Washtub and urgh!

Control Freaks: The elders back at my island were control freaks. Hakuba is a control freak. I do not like it when people try to tell me what I can and cannot do. I mean sometimes it's within reason, but seriously, I know who I am and what I like to do. No is not an answer.

Snobs & Slobs: Okay, two things I admit, but hey, there's a reason they sounds alike. They both fail! Slobs are gross. Nobody wants to date a guy that has mustard stains running down his shirt and moldy pizza on their apartment floor. As for snobs? The only people who don't hate snobs are snobs themselves! I mean, how can you not overlook being talked down at because your shoes don't match the latest fashion trend?

The Cold: I hate shivering, I hate snow, I hate ice, I hate winter. Br... Snow is only fun for so long until your fingers freeze up. Not even those self-proclaimed heavy duty ski gloves can save you. The only place I like to be during winter is indoors where the heater is on.

Likes and dislikes aren't the only thing that make a person. Being human is about having goals. Stuff you want to have, see, and do. However, there's also things that we wish never to happen to us. I'll make mine clear as I have a few.



Return Home: Yeah, it's pretty obvious isn't it? I want to find my island someday and return home. I want to see my mom and dad and old friends, and tell them all about the city and the world outside out island. Not that'd I want to move back in, but... I'd like to see them again.

Music Reknown: Someday I want my remixes to become famous. Even if only on the internet. Remixing is the pride and joy that I love to share with people. Especially, when it makes them happy too. So the more people, the better. To get popular though, I'll have to become better at remixing, so being better at remixing is what I working on.

Knowledge: I've been in the new world for a while now, but there are still things that I can't quite get or have yet to find out. What is a telegraph? Why do these people believe the things they do. It's just all so interesting, that I want to learn about it all.

Make New Friends: Alright, cheesy, I know. Still, it's never bad to have more friends. More people will be there to support you, hang out with you, and not to mention come over to your awesome parties.




Guns: It... creeps me out a little that something only a few inches big could take a life with little effort at all. I mean, back in Tuwaite, you could run from weapons, you could run from being beaten up, and if you had the skill, it was fair game. Now with guns though... You can't run and you can't hide. You can only hope they miss.

Unpopularity: Yeah, the opposite of being popular. Sometimes I worry what people thing of my music. Are they just complimenting it to be nice? Maybe it's nothing better than a chicken pecking at a record. I shouldn't care what people think, I know... but uh... I do.

Embarrasement: I believe there is no worse feeling in the world. Utter humiliation. I try so hard to play it cool, but sometimes, I act like a goofball. Nothing is worse than being laughed at with nothing to swing back with.

Alright, I've been dodging this for long enough. We all have a story about our lives and I have mine. It's a VERY long story, so we have it abridged for the most part right now. We plan to write it out in full soon though.

Now let's go.





What? These are the strangest markings I've ever seen, the fifth leader exclaimed.

Oh come now, they obviously must be fake, the second said, They are artisans. It would have been a simple matter to paint such things on her. A despicable thing to do to a newly-hatched. He attempted to rub out one of the clouds with his thick elephante fingers. Unfortunately, the elder had no such luck.

No, they're real, I guarantee you. Straight out of the eggshell, the draik said.

The elder was unmoved. Oh really?

The father is telling the truth, Kowui… I could only travel so fast, and I admit I arrived slightly late. But I will not kid you that the little dear was slimy from newly hatching when I showed up, clouds and all. We gave her a bath to clean her up, and none of these clouds or curls came out, the sixth elder said.

Hmph. I see, but we'll all know the truth with time, the stingy elephante said, turning to walk out. The sixth elder shook his head at his brother. Kowui was always stubborn. The techo smiled and tickled the little draik in her mother's arms with a finger. She let out a little gurgle.

You know, this is quite odd… She reminds me of a folktale. As a matter of fact, she's exactly like the draik in the folktale, the fifth leader happily piped up.

Oh? You're thinking about the Clouded Girl? the father asked.

Yes. Caslean.

The grey old kougra smiled as he saw the children playing in the square. Caslean was one of them, finally. It pleased him that she was actually socializing with the other children. He took another bite of his bamboo shoot and headed back inside the bamboo building. Caslean's playing with the other children, he said to Kowui, who was perched at the table. His wrist was working hard on a poem.

Hm? Well, well… It's about time, the elder replied happily. He wrote 'success' on his poem and asked, What are they playing? Nothing dangerous right?

Oh no, it's only a simple pretend game. They're playing folktales, Layu said, sitting on the opposite end from Kowui.

Hah hah… That's great! Who's Caslean? Is she… well, Caslean of the story? the elephante asked.

No, the Layu said, pouring himself a cup of tea.

Oh… Kowui rested his cheek on the palm of his hand with a frown. He finally looked up from his poem at the kougra and said, I guess I should have known better… She must be playing a warrior from one of their folktales.

Layu took a sip from his tea. No, he corrected again.

Hm? Well, what is she playing then? the poet asked.

The oni.

RAWR!!! I'M GOING TO FEAST ON YOUR FLESH, STUPID LITTLE GIRL! screamed a shrill voice from outside.

Ow! Caslean! No tackling! came another voice, right after.

Kowui sharply inhaled a breath of air, and let it out. Maybe next month… he said.

Alright, welcome to your new home... at least until we can find your parents, the lupe gruffly said, flicking on a light. Before Caslean, a humongous and rich entry appeared. It hadd luxurious marble tile, white walls, and various card suit decorations laced within. All Cas could do was stumble in, mouth hanging in awe.

Beautiful, she said. Immediately she began touching everything she could get her hands on. She poked and prodded the potted plants sitting next to the entrance, feeling them thoroughly. Next she got down on her hands and knees to grope the metal lining the suite shaped tiles. What shiny material. She had never seen anyhting like it before. Finally, she got up and began to feel the statues, which were just as shiney as the tile lining. She pushed and pulled on it.

Whoa! Whoa! Hey! With no warning, Cas found herself knocked to the side. The black lupe was now standing in front of the statue she was observing, trying with ever so much difficulty to keep it from falling and crushing him. Don't... touch the decor... he groaned, Augh! Woodswin!? Help!

Caslean blinked and looked around. Wood-win? What was a wood win?

Coming sire! a voice echoed from a room over. Seconds later a lanky techo entered the entry, his brown eyes dull with boredom. You- OH MY! Immediately, he rushed over to his master's aid. Bam. The sculpture slammed back upright.

Phew. Thank you, Woodswin, Dashett said, wiping the sweat off his forehead. Woodswin's attention was on other things though.

Who's the girl? he asked.

Some lost kid. I think she's foreign, like third world foreign, the lupe said.

Is that so? Hmph, the butler bent over to give the little girl a lookover, What's your name?

Name? Caslean, Caslean answered.

And where do you live? Woodswin asked.

Tuwaite, she said.

Tuwaite. I've never heard of such a place, the butler snorted, standing back up.

It small. Surround by water.

I think it means she came from an island, Dashett said, and went over to hang up his coat.

An island you say?

The bedsheets trembled. Every movement was so small, but violent and tearful. Caslean couldn't sleep again. As her tears dribbled out onto the red satin pillows, she whipped from side to side and back again. Finally, she realized she couldn't hide from it, and squeezed her bedsheets tightly. M... Mom... she choked into a dark room. Only the light of three monstrous windows came in could tell her that to answer her. She buried her face into her pillow and sobbed. Da... Dad...

I'm so sorry, her muffled voice came, I'm so sor-r-ry... I'm sorry I got onto that helicopter... I-I didn't know you'd be gone forever.

The room was silent in response again. However, this time her apology didn't go unanswered. A sad, quite nudge prodded her arm. Removing her face from the pillow, Caslean's red and swollen eyes gazed up too see a large four legged figure with a unruly main. Ay... Ayumu... she said, and her heart bgave out a sigh of relief. She removed herself from the bed and slowly wrapped her arms around the Garfir's furry neck, fingers digging into the thick wirey fur. She let all out. All her tears and wailing, it all came out. Once she had calmed down, her finger began to slowly began to work Ayumu's mane, twirling the hair in subconscious thought. I miss them, Ayumu... I miss them...

The garfir let out a sympathetic growl, but took himself out of Caslean's arms to stare at the -blocked- Then the draik did the same. The stars and moon were out, bringing light to the sky. It was so normal but so mesmerizing at the same time. The girl got up and clumzily made her way to it. Standing by the window, Caslean could not only see the night sky but Dashett's glorious garden, the city in the distance, and even the break of dawn. Ayumu walked over and sat by her side. His warm orange eyes stared up at her with hope. Do you... think they're staring at the same moon right now? Cas asked, leaning into the window seal, Do you... think they're missing me too?

The garfir did not respond but rubbed his head against her with loving purr. You're right... They are... Cas said, and crouched down to hold up Ayumu's massive head. Someday... I'm going to find them. Someday, we're going to find each other and I'll get to show them the new world. I'll get to show them all the cool foods, technology, and stories. And Dash and Spotty... It will be awesome. What do you think? The garfir buried it's head into her chest, and a smile was brought upon the girl's face. And don't worry, I'll bring you too. Hey, is Dash still asleep?

The garfir removed its head from her chest and looked up.

You look like you need a treat...

The helicopter blades hummed overhead, as the side of Caslean's face rested on the window overlooking the passing ocean. It was so quiet. Quiet enough to drive Dashett into the crazy house. Somehow, he could not help but feel that he was the one who crushed her. He brought her hopes so high. He rustled a bit in his seat.

Hey, Cassie. Cassie! he called her.

What? she asked, but she did not rustle from her position.

I'm sorry, the casino owner said, Really…

Caslean let out snort, and looked at her dim reflection in the glass.

Mr. Spades swallowed. She was really down about this. Then again, he almost knew what she was going through. Almost. Not being able to bear looking at Caslean, the lupe looked away from her, and at the smidge of window between the pilot seats. The ocean was actually quite beautiful tonight with the moon bearing down. It could have been a lovely night.

Caslean… he started again to break the quiet ambience, I never knew my mom. She divorced my dad for some snot of a guy when I was two. And my dad… Well, he disappeared a couple years ago. He could be dead. I mean, you should already know this. I've told you this story before, but, what I'm saying is, I know how it feels to lose your family.

Did you lose your entire home too? Caslean asked with a sharp tongue.

No. Not at all, but I didn't say I knew what it felt like to lose your home, did I? I said I knew what it felt like to lose your family, Dashett said, leaning back in his chair.

Caslean was silent for a moment, but then what was silence became sobbing. Dashett's ears perked up and the lupe turned his attention back to the teenager. Oh, whoa now…

I was such horrible daughter to them, she said.

Hey! Hey, Cassy! Quit it! Dashett said. Before he even knew it, he had wrapped his arms around the girl, like a father consoling his daughter. Both sat in total surprise. The casino owner had done nothing like this before. It was so sudden. However, once it passed Dashett finished. Quit it. We'll find your family and your island some day, and if we don't… Hey, you've Uncle Dashett and Spotty at your back.

Caslean pondered for a moment, looking out at the shimmering sea. Tears were still rolling down her cheeks, but she took her hands and placed them gently on Dashett's caressing arms.

When we get home, let's have a nice dinner at the palace buffet, okay?

I don't think I would have gotten far without Uncle Dashett and Spotty. If I hadn't run into Dash, I'd probably still be running around the streets, lost and confused. Maybe even worse. That's why I have to hand a lot to them. They've also kept me smiling for all these years. But... Even so... I still do miss my old parents. They weren't as strict as the elders and my mom, well... my mom was all for me back then. She convinced Master Ayato to teach me the ways of bamboo fighting and defended me when the elders were too harsh. I'll tell you all about her soon enough though. Let's start down the list first.

Hey, girl! Huh? Oh! You guy who gave me paper! Uhuh… Listen… I think I accidently gave you a $100 bill. I-I-I mean, it's not that I'm not generous. I would totally give you the money if it was on me, but uh… I kind of need that bill. What in world is bill? The paper! The paper I gave you! Where is it? Umm… Well, I saw somebody give lady paper like one you gave me, but in return, he got robe. Then I saw foot-warmers… Oh no… What did the shoes cost? The… paper? No! The…! Gah! The gah? Yeh, you people talk weird. No! Young lady, was there a piece of paper on the shoes with… odd markings on it? Yes… I… thought they were charm of some sort. It still on them. … …… …… Only $15.00!? And you didn't get cash back!? Cash... back? DOH!

Four words... Dash. Is. The. Best! He's the greatest step father I could ever ask for. Being the owner of the our ever popular casino, Wonderland Palace, he can give me anything I want. Music, CDs, concerts tickets, lava lamps, anything! My room is practically loaded. Not to mention he was the first to introduce me to a DJ system. As a person he's pretty cool too if not more. He always brings me up when I'm down, knows what to say to bring a smile on my face, hugs me, and well, he loves me. My only beef with him is that he sometimes gets carried away sometimes. It's all cool for the most part though. He makes me feel at home away from home.

. Aria Vienta :::

I know a few good places in city. I could show you them sometime. Really? That would be awesome! Not today though, it's getting a bit late. Yeah… Heh… So… Hm? Don't take this the wrong way. I doubt it's true, but I heard from Uncle Dash that… Do you play with dolls? Uh-Whoa! Why do you ask? I don't know, it just sounds so nerdy. I mean, you're what? 14? Er… Heh heh. Play with dolls? Nope, that's not me. I didn't think so. Dash makes up a lot of stuff. So what do you like to do? I… uh… I need to go. I have something planned at 8:00. What? Nothing…

Every so often Dashett's cousin comes over to visit, and I tell you, he's a hoot. He just acts and says really wierd things around me. Whenever I first seem he always seems so nervous, but once we get going he's a fun guy to be around. We love playing video games, sharing funny videos off of the internet, and most of all, just going places. We've been to the zoo, the theatres, the park. Oh! That reminds me. It was so great when we went to the northeast park one time. The wind blew my hat off and he actually jumped into the lake just to get it. In a way, it was really charming though. The way he acts always reminds me of like... uh... what was that kind of person again? Oh yeah! A prince.

. Mom :::

So what did we do today Caslean? It was great, mommy! I went into the jungle and saw this really cool looking frog, then I played warrior. Hyah! Slash! Cut! Ho ho... Looks like you had a great time then. Tell me, what did the great bamboo warrior Caslean save this time? Well, you see. There was this HUGE red oni with large fangs and poisonous drool. He was stealing fruit that was supposed to be for the gods and taking them away to his lair to ingest them all for himself. But I cut him down to size. Uh... Caslean... Hm? Yes mommy? Were you attacking that little boy Reau again? ........... No. Caslean, tell the truth... Fine... Yes... but mommy! He was stealing food from the gods! As in the leftovers set out for the animals every night? ......................... Oh Caslean... I don't mind you playing unlike those strict elders, but please don't attack the other children. You make my job all the much harder. I'm sorry, mommy. It's okay, dear. Just attack something like a statue next time, okay? Okay.... but statues don't complain when you hit them. What was that? Uhh..... Nothing?

Out of all the people in Tuwaite, I'd have to say I miss mom the most. She never saw me for my clouds or the fact that I was the golden girl of the village. She just saw me as simply, her daughter. She backed me up when people frowned upon me for not being the original Caslean, and she even tried to show them the real me. Every night when she tucked me in, she would usher me to tell her my adventures for that day. If nothing happened that day, then well... she would say Then let's make it happen the next day. Sadly, after my near death experience by falling into Death Finn infested waters, she kind of got a bit uneasy about me going out and exploring. It became practice for her to check me for wounds whenever I came home. She was also relieved if I told her nothing happened for a day. Still, she still cared about for who I was more than anybody else.

. Dad :::

Ugh... Who do they think they are? Trying to restrict the great Caslean from creativity. Such bogus. Uhuh. You said it. As a matter of fact, I'm going to do something special just to spite them. Come with me. Huh? Dad, where are you...? You see this muddle puddle over here? Uhuh. I want you to jump in there and make the biggest mud mountain you can make, then make a little mud Tuwaite and add some leaves for trees. Make it is a great as you can. That will show them. YAAAAAAY! That's what I'm talking about. Get right in there. Make it big, make it nice, make it proud! You'll... No, no, that's not what I meant. But the mud is too wet, and I'm hot. Caslean. You're supposed to teach the mud who's boss, not roll in it. Uh... Okay. Now let's try this again...

I wasn't as fond of my dad, as I was my mom. Mainly because he loved my status as the reincarnation of Caslean. He gloated about me constantly... although... it kind of died down the more reckless I became. He also scorned me a lot like the elders. Unlike the elders and people of the village though, he at least knew a load of baloni when he saw it. When I wasn't allowed to play in the mud, he ragged on the elders why? I mean, I was having fun, I was making little villages. I was being creative. That was one thing he didn't like when it came to the elders telling me what to do. Being an artist, he felt creativeness was a huge virtue, and he didn't want no stinking elders saying I couldn't get my feet dirty. Yeah, he wasn't as supportive as mom in everything I did, but he did make sure I was loved. He played with me, made me toys, and made me laugh.

Now outside my family, I've met quite a few people. Partygoers, fans of my remixes, and whatnot. I've also met people who were complete jerks. Somehow though, I'd like to share them all with you. Well, not all of them, but a few that have striked me pretty often.

You guys owe me for your sorry hides! My sincerest apologies, Miss Spades...I was... What? I was wrong to not believe you. And....? I could take back that apology if you insist. Oh, I understand. I mean, it's not like I did anything important by saving your lives... Miss Spades, you have every right to call me a 'creep' for what I've said and done to you and you have done us all a great favor by warning us of the bomb, however... Uhh... Go home.

Ugh... This guy... He's like one of the Elders new world style. He's not even old and he tries to tell me what to do. Seirously, if you just listen to his tone of voice, it's just seething with arrogance. The worst part of all though? He's a detective. That's right. He gets to see cool stuff all the time. Murders, theft, kidnappings, and if he catches me following him, then guess what kids! It's lecture time! A precious delicate girl like me should not put herself in harm's way. Ugh. Even when I've tried to help him and his 'buddies' he has put me down like a child. Sometimes it's almost not worth it to stalk him... eh, but I do it anyway.

Oh come what? You would probably would have that disk by now if you just asked for directions, you knnow. Gaah.... Okay, fine. How about this? Just turn it in to Mr. Jerk and tell him Uncle Spades needs it repaired or replaced as soon as possible. I thought Uncle Spades told you specifically to get it repaired for him. That's only because he was too busy to deliver it himself! And I'm not going in there to bend in to jerkface. No way! So you want me to 'bend in' to him for you? Well, he is somehow your friend. Any reason for the air quotes? Hey, I still just don't get how you can be friends with such a jerk. Have you seen my other choices in friends? You mean that Kudo guy right? He didn't seem too bad. You don't know the half of it... Girl, you seriously need to get some better friends. Look.... Just take it to him... please....? Maybe I'm just a masochist in that sense?

Ran is nice. Bad taste in friends, but nice. To be honest though, I don't know her all too well. Just that she hangs out with Jimmy and Jerk face (who I'll get to later), but whenever I see her she's pretty cool. We've talked whenever we've seen each other, and one time she even helped me deliver a Dash's bugged security system back to Samu to have it fixed. It didn't go as planned, but hey, at least she helped. I just look forward to seeing her more, and hopefully not when she with that jerk.

Hm… That tune wasn't bad. You think so? I'll tell you what, DJ…? Cas, Caslean. DJ Cas. I have a special offer for you. In a month, I'm going to be opening the latest attraction to my amusement park. A video game. A… video game? And I would like to have your music in this game, with full credit off course. Ah…. Ah… ah… Are you serious!? I don't joke... ever... Dude... You have seriously got to be the coolest guy in the world... Heh, I already know I am...

Now there's one person I know who's worse than Hakuba, much worse. As a matter of fact, he's the biggest jerk you'll ever find. His name Seto Samu. He works with Dash *coughtakesadvantageofcough* by inventing technology for the casino to run on in exchange for advertisement and money. At first I thought he was a nice guy, because one day he wanted to use my remixes for a game or something... It was amazing. I thought I was finally going public! Then he stole my work and butchered it! He didn't even give me any credit! I got him back for it eventually, but... ugh. He is the last person I want to be around. Ever since I got back at him, I've found he's nothing but a stuck up rich kid that likes putting other people down. It's a miracle that guy even has friends!

A garfir? He looks fearsome doesn't he? Well, that's because he is. Meet my Ayumu, he's 530 lbs of terror and not even full grown. Still, he's the greatest pet I ever known. He's loyal and playful and we go every where together like to the park, to the zoo, shopping... Though I admit not many people have taken to him being in their stores. He's a bit of a brute obviously. Still, it's all the better to scare off thugs on the streets that have a beef with me. I tell you, the city at night isn't the safest place to be. You see reports in the newspaper of people getting kidnapped, murdered, but not me. Never me, because I got Ayumu. Sometimes, he's a bit overprotective though. Even if he's on his leash, you might want to keep sudden movements to yourself or he might mistake you for a threat. Trust me, you don't want 2 inch incisors digging into your flesh.



Still, to me and Dashett he's a sweety. He's like your average overgrown housecat. He likes to be pet, comes running into the kitchen when its dinner time, and you can often find him chewing on his favorite toys. That or lounging around like the lazy cat he is. As you can imagine though, he's not the cheapest pet to take care of. His food alone costs us $5,000 a month. Yup, he's growing big boy. It doesn't stop me from spoiling him with awesome collars and toys though. I think, if there was anything wed'd have to be worried about with him, it's his recklessness. As much as I've tried, I can't seem to train him to stop shredding up our expensive velvet couches. Because of this my poor boy has to remain in his little habitat outside or be on a leash, but it's okay. He seems happier outside anyway.

I bet by now, you're wondering how I got him. Well, it was a long time ago, within my first year of being in the city. I had been crying a lot because you know, I missed my family and friends back on the island. Although I had Uncle Dash and Spotty, they couldn't be around all the time, so I had many nights when I was alone and without anybody to distract me from my memories. Thankfully, Uncle Dash came to my rescue one day. It was in the morning, and I had just woken up. I was going down to get breakfast when Dash stopped me halfway. It was really peculiar. He had this huge smile and a look that just screamed 'I did my good deed for today'. Not second later he pulled me downstairs to see something amazing. On a leash, being held by Ms. Tuero (One of our maids) with the cutest face was an adorable baby Garfir, not even a year old. Dashett said he had overheard me crying one night, so he got Garfir shipped straight from Alatador. Seeing Ayumu for the first time was one of the best days of my life and I'll never forget it.

What? You curious about where I came from? Well, we called our home Tuwaite, land of Deyu's descendents. Before I found the mainland, it seemed so big back then. Still, not so big that I couldn't mentally map out where everything was. Tell you what, I'll give you an indirect tour from what I can remember so you can get a better idea of what I had back then.




To start off, Tuwaite was seperated into two areas, the Central and Windcatcher. The Central as you can guess, is the 'main half' of Tuwaite. It is the place where the village leaders resided, where cases were heard, and where the majority of our festivals took place. Along with that, the fishing boats docked here, and sold their goods in the square.

Really, I'd say the square was the pride of Tuwaite. Our best trading posts and professional services resided along it, including the house of the elders. Not to mention, it was the ideal spot to play if you could dodge around the crowds. Something also cool about the square was that it was tiled with stone carved from rubble to take the shapes of various animals. It made for some fun games. Still, there was something I never took to liking in the square. Along with the various animals carved in tile, there were fairytale characters. Caslean, the original Caslean, was one of them.


Now for the Windcatcher side of the Tuwaite. One of the reasons it's called the Windcatcher is because it always seems to get the most wind, another is that we believed Kaiyo, the goddess of wind and weather, was greated from the surrounding gulf. I'll tell you now, that Windcatcher is a long walk from the Central, but we still traveled it a lot. I know I did. A lot of my friends and family resided there when the Elders wanted me in the Central for festivals and junk. I never minded the distance to go see my friends, but I can't say the same for the return trip. Really, one of the nice things about Windcatcher was that it was so much less crowded. I didn't have to fight through four dozen people just to get to the beach. And don't even get me started on the certain secret training dojo in the hillside next to it. Although I was forbidden, I went there all the time to be trained in the art of bamboo fighting.

Finally, the gulf of Windcatcher was one of the best swimming spots ever. It's not as calm as the southern gulf which makes it all the more fun.



The southern gulf was a bore, but I couldn't seem to argue it back then, since it was the most popular swimming spot on the island. People liked it because the water was warm and calm, and this made it the ideal spot for toddlers to pee in our 'pool'. Yeah, I never really liked that spot obviously. Not to mention the bridge in front of it was being used constantly. So much, that it'd even break fairly often, and then there'd be a whole bunch of people trying to fix it. I'd say no thanks. Oh, but an interesting tidbit, Rea the god of fire was created from this gulf.



The last of the three gulfs, the gulf Reni the god of justice was created from, was awesome. It was rocky and mossy, has an awesome waterfall, and so many caves I can't even begin to count them. I used to play here all the time. There were so many places I could hide, it was a blast. Not to mention you could find some pretty funky creatures in those caves. I tried to keep one as a pet once. That was, until the elders came and ruined my fun.

Unfortunately, as fun as it was to play at, it wasn't exactly the ideal swimming spot.... For anyone! Have you ever heard of a Death Fin? Probably not, but I can tell you now, you don't want to mess with these guys. One sting could rot your flesh away for weeks... until you died that is, and victims always did. Only the stupid went into that gulf on their own free will.



I never really been up here to tell the truth, but from what I heard it was the most beautiful spot of Tuwaite. I heard there were so many odd looking plants, ones that even glowed and set the lake alight. Unfortunately, only scavengers looking to make riches or medicine have gone up there, because it was apparently dangerous and rough to get there. This lake was where the last emotion goddess, Caulsa, was created.



I have alway seen the mountain from the beaches, so high and tall. Like the lake though, few actually ventured up there, and I wasn't one of them. I heard it was just as awesome as the lake though. It had caves and critters, and every fall there was a migration of these amazing birds. I've always dreamed of going up there one day... but can't say much of that now.

So now you're curious about the Tuwaite culture, huh? It's very much different from the new world's. Then again, we didn't have technology and surrounding cultures to shape are beliefs. However, as different as it is, I've noticed my island was similiar in traditiions to Shenkuu and other islands. You know, it makes me kind of wonder... But enough, I'll start off with the guess-timates.

Name: Tuwaite (too-WAH-teh)
Population: Estimated 880
Area: 403.5 sq mi?
Terrain: Lush/Mountainous
Climate: Tropical


Orgination: You're asking me? I don't even know myself. If you want to go all mythical about it though, I guess I can say we of Tuwaite believed the land was formed by the great sea god Ayruyu for his friend Deyu to sit on. Then Deyu made the island habitable. Yeah, that's all I know about the origination of Tuwaite. Maybe some immigrants came from Shenkuu and settled on it a long time ago? I don't know.

People: You might find this funny but not every species of neopian existed on my island. When I came to the new world I can't tell you how surprised I was to see a yurble for the first time. The only species I can recall being on my island were...

Nimmos, Skeiths, Lennies, Aishas, Chias, Eyries, Flotsam, Jetsam, Lupes, Elephantes, Gelerts, Myncis, Peophins, Acaras, Zafaras, Techos, Moehogs, Kougras, Draiks, and Xweetoks.

Even then, they were much different and much more colorful. Draiks appeared more like me, with antlers instead of horns or fins, and techos always had these vibrant stripes or spots running down their back. To be honest, they were much more beautiful and interesting than the neopians of the mainland. Letsee... and if you want to get scientific about it, we were all fairly small. Men only got to 6'1" at most, and women 5'7". Of course I'm just guessing here. We didn't exactly have tape measures in Tuwaite you know.


Clothing: Now clothing was really something different back on the island. We had two materials to choose from, silk and wool. Silk was the casual clothing for adults. You could often see it on the people lying around on the beach, or sitting in their homes. I got to wear silk when I was littler too, but I'll have to say it was quite different in the case of children. Children were considered messy and that the liked to roughhouse. This playtime is too much for delicate fabric to handle, so only children of honor could wear it. As you can guess, the elders took away my silk once I started rebeling. Now as for wool, wool was your average work clothes but don't think you could go wearing whatever you liked. Different colorings and decorations meant different jobs and intentions. The fisherman wore teal for example with various sea shells sown into the fabric. You don't want to mistake that with the luxurious merchant who wore red and gold.


Food: One thing I have to say that the mainland greatly surpasses Tuwaite in is food. We have cow, pork, chicken, and everything we had back on Tuwaite... Well, almost. Tuwaite did make a few of their own special dishes like clam poppers. Other than that though, we did have quite a few ingrediants to work with. Fish was our favorite, but we also had rice and bamboo shoots to nibble off of. Not to mention, we also had our chefs. Seriously, if you found a really good one, he could whip you up something so delicious it is considered gourmet.


Shelter: Another thing I don't miss about Tuwaite. Our houses were small, with working class having 2 bedrooms at the most. Yeah, we had to cram in there and if you had a large family, well, sorry dude. Even worse however, was the occasional leaking and the occasional 'rebuild the entire house day'. Our houses were flimsy, only made from what resources we had on the island, usually bamboo. While I admit the honored houses were built a little stronger, even they were made from plants and junk. It was quite a pain, compared to even the trailer parks in the main land.


Social Classes: Like most every other civilization, Tuwaite had its ranking ssystem. I used to be an honored, being the girl of fairytale, but that kind of slipped as rebelled against the elders down the ladder. Not that it matters now but take a look.




Government: Ugh... The government... the government that expected me to be a precious little fairytale angel. Well, first off, the government consists of nine elders. They keep things under control in Tuwaite by giving people advice, hearing problems, and trying to solve them. The also ran the festivities and represented Tuwaite to the gods. The village leaders are never replaced until they have passed on, or in some rare cases, have committed a crime so foul they have to be removed. When this happens, a new elder is elected for the position and assumes duties.


Economy: There really wasn't a currency in Tuwaite, since... well, we had nothing to make the currency out of. We simply traded goods for goods and services for services. It was kind of a nice thing though because the more skilled you were and the higher the demand for your service the 'richer' you became.


Justice: Once again, another thing that the elder village leaders are put in charge of. Our laws were pretty basic. Don't steal, don't murder, don't disgrace the gods, but people still found the need to break them. When they were caught, they were put up onto a trial where both cases are listened to by the elders, and the make the judgement from there.

We have light punishment like small fees for petty theivery, but if you do something really serious like murder and to some degree, disgracing the gods, you'll be in for a heck of a time. That means torture and/or even death. Nice to know, huh?

What!? You want to hear some more Tuwaite stories? Oh no! I'm not going to spill all those annoying tales, just no... Come on, quit it. I'm serious.... Please?.... Ugh. Alright, alright, you win, but I'm only going to tell you a couple. The ones I remember at least.





And to think this actually made sense back on my island. Yeah, I'm being kind of unfaithful I guess, but once I came to the mainland with all its science and other thoughts how the world came to be, it became hard to believe. Not that it's a stupid story though. It's actually one of Tuwaite's better ones. As a matter of fact, it was my most favorite story back on the island. That is, before my own tale got to me.






Kind of a creepy story, huh? To have ANYTHING other people wished for happen to you. Seriously, I always found Tychou to be a real idiot, and kind of deserving what he had coming. I guess that's one of the morals of this story, though. Don't be greedy, stealing is wrong, and what somebody else wishes for may not be your own. I have to say however, the reason I remember this story is because of jerk face. He seems like somebody who would actually do this. As a matter of fact, he's almost exactly like Tychou. Greedy, cold, ruthless... You know, it even makes me wonder... Pbt. Nah!




Not yet.

Alright, here's something fun. This is my sketchbook. I'm no artist but I looked to doodle from time to time. Go ahead and take a look.



Well, that's all I have to show in my sketchbook for now, but don't worry. I still like to doodle time to time, and if you come back, I might have some new things to show.

Hey, want to see something cool? I have a whole collection of pictures drawn of me from big to small. But to start you off, here's a few Keruha has done herself from oldest to newest. If you want to see any in full size, just drag to the address bar or copy the url from right clicking a picture and going down to properties.




Not bad, huh? She's improved by a mile since she first started drawing me, and this isn't even the end knowing her. Really, I can't wait to see some of her future stuff, even if it's of that jerk face draik she owns. Keruha's always striving to get better at art. Right now, she says her weaknesses are lineless and proper shading and that she could ALWAYS use improvement in anatomy. I personally don't quite get it, but hey, I'm a DJ, not a painter. I just hope Keruha gets wherever she wants to go with her art.... but of course, some daily art of me wouldn't suck.

You know though, Keruha isn't the only person who has drawn me. On neopound there's been a whole lot of awesome people, and I am not kidding you! Check it out!




THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT AND ART, NEOPOUND! I LOVE YOU GUYS!

While huge works of art are awesome and all, there's still something cooler. Adoptables.... And Keruha is one huge adoptable collector. She treats each set like a once in a lifetime chance. Well, unless she's swamped with work. Then she has no choice but to painfully let them slide.

As you can guess, she can't obtain most adopts without a set of her own, and this where THESE come in. However, let's lay down some rules before we throw them out.




Now... Interested in seeing the adopts I've collected of myself? The first ones are sets Keruha did herself.

Difficulty: Medium

I'm not the only one with talent you know. How about you? Are you a good artist? A brilliant writer? Well, we'll see about that. I have a good assortment of awards you can choose from right below. Just give me the word, the page, or whatever and I'll be the judge. If it's good enough, they'll be yours... depending on how you rank that is. Yeah, don't even try to think of taking a gold trophy when you get silver. Not that you need to steal in order to get gold, I hope.

But a few words of advice first. I like to be wowed. Getting creative can earn you some mundo brownie points. Oh yeah, you'd might like to know that I HATE theives. Even if you're not technically a theif, and you're using somebody's content because they allowed you too, that is still really pathetic. I'm not going to give you gold for somebody else's skills. That's just stupid. Oh yeah, don't trace or paraphrase junk either, because that's stupid too. This award will be your sweat only, and if you can't understand that, you won't be getting anything... except maybe a trip to Iceland if it's really bad.

Now then, we set? Great. Mail Keruha right now, and be sure to specify what trophy(s) you want!

What's this section? I bet you've never seen anything like this before. Well, this is a dump. Everything and anything that can't fit in this page anywhere else goes here. Usually, it will be stupid stuff like quiz results, memes, and even random jokes involving me. Still, it's fun.

• Caslean was put up for adoption for an entire year. Rhiow, the fosterer, disappeared and never came back. Instead on May, she put the application progress in Lakynn's hands. When Lakynn disappeared, the application process was put into the hands of a panel of judges.
• Over that time, Keruha never took down Cas's page, app, or any of her dedications, always waiting and hoping Rhiow would return. Even her Neopound avatar of Cas remained for the entire year. Keruha continued to roleplay, draw, and collect for Cas like one of her own.
• She received Caslean on August 16, 2009.
• Caslean will never be traded.
• Caslean will never be put for adoption.

Whole bunch of quotes from various roleplays.

Uh... Why yes... Give me your ticket so I can crush your dreams.

Girly boy? You mean Kobu? Oh come on, he's not that girly. I saw one guy that talked like some teenybopper girl and was wearing a neon pink shirt with bracelets and stuff.

Don't worry, it shouldn't be THAT much trouble. Have fun hanging out with jerk face.
Pranks Ahoy

Okay. It's getting late so we better start wrapping this up. Have any questions before you go though?

My pet loves you? Date plz!
Uh... No thanks. I don't even know your dude.

-sing- Why can't we be friends?
DUDE! I don't even know you!

Can Keruha be my friend?
She doesn't know you either.

Can we roleplay then?
Sure... I guess. Keruha loves to roleplay, just drop her a line... but uh... no dating.

Is Keruha up to chat?
Always! Drop her a line.

Ooh! You're rich! Gimme something!
Sorry, we're not the kind of rich people who throw diamonds in the streets for the fun of it. Keruha doesn't either, so if you want money, work for it.

Can Keruha draw me free art?
Art takes a while. Keruha's art takes hours, so I don't expect her to be handing out freebies anytime soon unless she feels somebody is deserving of it.

Can I use the stuff she already has up then?
NO! Big no! You want to get frozen? Look, if you want free art just see this guy.

Can we do an art trade?
Depending on the time Keruha has and your skill. Most likely not though.

Can we trade links?
YEAH! Just drop Keruha a line.

Can I adopt you?
No way, you lost your chance, and Keruha is planning on keeping me for a very long time.

Can I trade my maraquan draik for you?
WHAT!? NO!

Why do you dress goth? Are you goth?
Uhh... No? But why do you care so much?

How'd Keruha get you?
She applied for me a long time ago, and spent a whole year of roleplay, collecting customs, and drawing her at school just waiting on me.

Can Keruha join my guild?
Throw in your offer. Unless it's a really cool artist roleplaying guild though, don't get your hopes up.

Can I draw fanart of you?
Wow... Y-You'd do that? You rock!

Well, that's about all I have time for. Geez, I sound like a talkshow host. Anyway, if you have questions I didn't get a chance to answer, be sure to neomail Keruha when you get the chance. She'll clear things up, unless its... you know. The meaning of the universe or something.

Well, that's all I have for now. Thanks for coming by. I had a blast talking to you. If you ever want to come back just say the magic word... or grab one of these cool links. Paste them wherever, and if you care for a link trade, just ask. Oh, but make sure your page isn't some blank group of pictures first.



If you're looking for something to do now, I suggest visiting these awesome people. They got some pretty interesting stories too.



Oh wait! Hold on! Hold on! I'm not through with you yet. I have some people to thank.

Hey Spooki (banryouka), you and your mom rock!

Hearty (xoxheartlessxox), thanks for keeping Keruha somewhat sane during this app!

Thanks to pirate (o_pirate_o) for critiquing this app and the ego boost. Heaven's knows Keruha needed it.

Thank you Neopound for all the lovely pics and support!

Thank you Sai(unsealed) for being the NICEST competition ever! I hope you're able to recreate your Caslean. ^^

Thank you Rhiow for putting Cas up for adoption.

And thank you Jdorian, Place, Sealion, and whoever else for decided Keruha would make a great owner. THANK YOU!!!!!
