A troublemaking companion for Kritashsu, this little Aether needs a bad example in his life. How else is he supposed to keep on making disasters for T’Rae to clean up enjoy!? He’s definitely a man’s man, not some girly sissy boy that will join the females in tutting over baby shinies and sparkles and ribbons. He’s more likely to make a pipe bomb and put it in the kitchen. There’s really no changing his ways, and he’s generally not very affectionate unless you count a practical joke to be a show of affection. He’s a strutting peacock in a house full of pretty female ‘phettes and for some reason he thinks they’ll be impressed by his macho shows of destruction. Small enough to be sneaky and quiet enough to get away with most of what he does, he revels in making messes, especially in the kitchen. His pristine good looks are almost always covered in some strange substance (gunpowder, sticky maple syrup, ect.) that coat his lovely dark and light silver feathers and his shimmery white and light cyan swirled fur. His blue eyes are almost always gleaming with false innocence. Oh, that mass of caramel sauce and stink bomb traps around the fridge…so not him.

Dead Space (video game)
A flurry of light blues and deep greys, this boy’s feathers are almost entirely a light grey and his feathers are a blue so pale it appears almost white. He’s got light blue-green eyes, a pretty shade, and light blue speckles sprinkled throughout his feathers and light grey ones all over his fur, almost like stars that are so randomly placed that they wouldn’t even make constellations. He’s got a nasty pink fleshy scar on his left thigh, one that seems to have only recently healed, and only barely properly. He’s certainly large, the largest of the entire bunch, and has a rather commanding presence with his even gaze and his large wings folded on either side of his body.

Just as many of the Gryphettes have, this guy’s seen a lot of things. Rather than allowing for hardships to take him down however, he’s become determined to keep his right mind as best as he can. There are occasional moments when he cracks and it seems as if his sanity is slipping through the faults of his mind, but when he recognizes these cracks he’s quick to right himself. He’s usually rather steady, practical and logical sending sensible images and careful to learn the meaning of words before he recites them out willy-nilly. He’s got good instincts and adapts well to any given situation, using his stream-lined body and accurate flying to weave and dodge through tight situations. He’s also very clever, able to figure out things based on his surroundings, noticing his environment at a much sharper level than others might. When he sleeps however, he has horrible nightmares, and one might notice that he makes eerie noises or wakes up suddenly, pupils of his blue-green eyes stretched thin in alarm. It might be difficulty trying to find something to soothe him.


Censor You, You Censoring Censored Censor Blaze Kritashsu

You know those annoying birds that pick up allll the wrong words? The ones you really shouldn't be saying around small ears and such? Yeah, well. By the time you realize he's a great mime, and has this lovely tendency to pick up all the foulest words and comments you (or anyone else) made, it'll be too late. And it doesn't help that he wants to follow you everywhere, while shouting these entirely inappropriate things. He likes to be around you, likes to snuggle up on your shoulder and chatter away all the foul things he's ever heard, and he seems to have a grand time doing it. It's almost as if he knows just how naughty he's being, and he knows you can't do a thing about it. But really, he can't be that smart. Right?

The Road to Hell Fantasy Kisheya

The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and he has the best of them! Really, he does! He only wants to do good things, but he has no idea /how/ to do that. For some reason every effort he makes to help or to save somebody ends up in a disaster of some sort. He really does want to cure all the world’s ills, he just doesn’t quite know how to go about doing it and has a tendency to jump into a situation without all the facts or a plan. He tends to leave situations worse than they were before he got involved. His eagerness to help and save is not hampered by his many failures; no, they just make him more determined to do a better job next time! Part of his inability to successfully rescue anything might have something to do with his obnoxious and obvious coloring. He looks almost more like a Foofle than a ‘phette. His fur is so fluffy that it sticks out at every direction and no one hair is the same color as another. They’re all varying shades of bright purple and pink until it hits the vibrantly pink socks at his feet, just as fluffy and without any real definition. Somehow, his feathers are just as poofy and out there as his fur. Every possible shade of pink is represented with only a few bits of vibrant white dispersed throughout. Hidden in all the fluff is a pair of the nicest, warmest dark eyes that just about sparkle with love and helpfulness.


Out of the Well Seraph La'tusa

Name Meaning: Mourn, to feel or express grief or sorrow; to grieve; to show grief for a death by conventional signs, as by wearing black clothes
Bonded: 02-14-14
Bonding: Horror — Lucas
Rank: Seraph
Gender: Female

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ring_(2002_film) The Ring] (movie)
This girl is thin, scrawny. Her fur and feathers are an uneven pattern of a mixture of yellows and whites, with a ghostly silvery sheen glossing over her entire body. She’s thin, scrawny, and her eyes are a greenish yellow, sickly, like seafoam. She’s not the prettiest, or the healthiest looking Gryphette, but there is something ghostly and ethereal about her. She moves almost silently, makes little noise, and seems to float wherever she goes.

Despite her somewhat eerie appearance, she’s really a sweet girl. She wants nothing but to be accepted and loved, and while a bit guarded, does not ever under any circumstances do anything to try to harm another. She is a silent observer and will tend to know things and catch onto things that others might not know or understand because she’s the only one that has bothered to pay attention. She tends to stay fairly silent with muted images used in order to convey her thoughts that seem haunted but are solely there to help you. She may have a little bit of trouble socializing, understanding other species and even her own, but she ultimately always does mean well. She’d make the perfect spy if you gave her the chance. Her two strengths are staying hidden and noticing everything around her. She’d be happy to report back to you anything and everything she’s seen. She’s incredibly loyal, and well, maybe all that she decides to send your way might become a little overwhelming. But really, it’s all done out of love.


Refined Delicacy Seraph Tevan

Previously: T’Rae’s Seraph Gryphette
Name Meaning: Refined
Bonded: 12-18-11
Bonding: Daily Christmas Advent 2011
Rank: Seraph
Gender: Female

Just as fancy as her coloring Tevan holds herself with perfect poise and grace. It wouldn't be entirely too difficult to mistake this little Seraph for a princess or some other manner of royalty, and with a name that means refined this should really come as a surprise to no one. With all the skills of a perfect hostess that T'Rae is lacking in Tevan is the perfect party planner. Not that she wants to be, particularly, it is just the kind of skill a proper lady should have, and looking at her she is most definitely a proper lady. Despite her skills for tending and decorating though she would rather be served herself. Concerned with appearances she does her best to give off an easy and friendly vibe, though get to know her enough and you start to see how much effort goes into the image. With something of an entitlement problem, clearly anything she wants is hers, and coming to terms with the fact that she does not get to boss around the watch-whers can create all sorts of problems. She clearly considers herself queen of the household and is a master of pitching a fit when she doesn't get her way. And oh can she be vicious when you tick her off, not in any way that can be easily traced back to her, mind you, it's all subtlety and sabotage.

A toast, to the elegance of this Seraph! She is a creature of the holidays if there ever was one, pale white along her haunches and limbs that rise up into little bubbles of cheery yellow. She’s on the small side, heavier around her middle and supported on fine little legs that make her almost look awkward were it not for her Philippine Serpent Eagle body. All in all she carries herself with grace and poise, feathers a medium yellow sprinkled in flecks of white. Her haunches reflect this, the color of holiday champagne. Just the edges of her wings are dusted in silver, as though someone thought it best to add a bit of festivity to the edge of their cup. And her eyes? They are a cheery rose pink, a big wider than usual.


I Live Here Now Wraith Annetta

Bonded: 12-14-11
Bonding: Daily Christmas Advent 2011 — TeA
Rank: Wraith
Gender: Female

Penny is a nester. She's happy just about anywhere and she'll make herself a home out of just about anything. More content outside than inside the house T'Rae is going to have a very unhappy Gryphette if anyone accidentally disturbs her nest. Or comes to close. Or looks at it funny. Constantly broody and a little bit overprotective of her space this little Wraith is generally friendly when she's not sitting on her nest. And that's only because she made wherever she currently is her nest for the time being. Even if that location is currently being carried around or sitting in your lap. Unlike most Gryphettes Penny can't actually fly, but this doesn't seem to bother her any, being content to a life on the ground and pawing at T'Rae's pant legs whenever she wants something. So long as she has her nest and an easy supply of food she's generally pretty content.

Being a mutant Gryphette Penny's front half is that of a Maran Chicken instead of any sort of eagle. Her feathers are a nice smokey black scalloped through with a vibrant orchid shade, the pattern continued down even when feathers turn to fur, the scalloping pattern making its way down along her back haunches all the way to her tail, which is a solid black up until the little puff at the tip of her tail that keeps the same bright purple. She's a little bit thicker and a lower to the ground to accommodate being a chicken, but this doesn't seem to have any particularly adverse effects other than the fact that T'Rae now has more eggs than she's ever going to need. Which she doesn't need any, being a vegetarian.


The Lady Wraith Gryphette Shani

Bonded: 6-22-09
Bonding: Another Sunny Place — Maeko
Rank: Wraith
Gender: Female

Oh yes, she's very petite and very, very pretty. With some of the best manners in the company the Lady is easily regarded as a well to do, respected creature. She's elegant and courteous, formal and quite domestic for one that's spent her entire life in the wild. Caring and kind of heart, the Lady makes for a good friend, and is often the listener and caretaker. Now, that doesn't mean she doesn't have fun and is as stuffy as an old attic in the dead of summer- quite contrary! The Lady loves having fun (she's a bit of a flirt, too)! Like any good woman though, you have to meet her to really see how spectacular she really is! <3

While she might be small, this Wraith certainly makes up for it by attracting tons of attention to her (and as one of the few females in the group, she needs to stick up for her gender!). Her feathers are a sleek, glossy black, and shapely as the Red-Winged Bird. The red and yellow of the bird is replaced on her by a soft lavender and purple. The Lady's wings are struck through with little stars of Heliotrope, and one star winks over a silver eye. Svelte haunches are a deep velvet black, and wisteria markings twist along her toes and down her lion's tail. She's a bit girly and has managed to avoid doing too much work in life- as she is quite good at getting others to wait on her without them knowing. An innocent, sweet chirp here, a little nuzzle there, and presto! She's got what she wants. Being small and delicate, it's a great adaption.
