I am sure many, if not all, of you know about our wonderful, poor desk lady that works at the Breeding Center. She's been around for years and year, putting up with all of you crazy breeders rushing at her when rooms are released. We all know she's somewhat of a nervous wreck, but what do we really know about her? Her name? No, that's never been mentioned. What she looks like? Well, that's probably been mentioned vaguely from time to time, but usually none of her posts consist of her looks.

Well then, what do you know about her? That is, what do you think of her, really. We are looking for background information for her, her name, what she looks like, ect. You could even give her a pet form if you wish! Almost all of the Evelon 'NPCs' have names and information, but this poor woman that has stuck with us through thick and thin has never even been so much as given a name.

What do you get out of this you may wonder? Well, prizes for this are going to vary. I might pick a name from one person, looks from another, and then background from a third. I might pick information from one person.

Prizes
       If all of your provided information is chosen(must be all categories of information) you will get 1 Paragon Room Key, 1 Lucain Room Key, and 1 Kuhna Room Key(These are currently only prizes so you don't have to use a won room instantly).
       If only your name is chosen, you will get 1 Kuhna Room Key.
       If only your description of looks is chosen, you will get 1 Lucain Room Key.
       If only your history/background is chosen, you will get 1 Paragon Room Key.
These prizes obviously stack, meaning you can get 1, 2, or all 3 prizes.

* If you provide art for your entry, you may be chosen for a smaller prize at random.

The contest will end on Feb. 21st, 6:00 P.M. EST (18:00)

Name: Ayla
Pr: Eh-la

Description:
         Ayla is about 5'7, and 19 years old. She has long blond hair with little streaks of blue at the ends. Her hair is usually kept in a tight bun or a long braid. She has pale skin and freckles around her nose and cheeks. She has bright green eyes, and often paints her finger nails. She is always wearing some sort of lip-gloss, or eye-shadow.

History/Background:
Ayla grew up with her parents, her sister, and a houseful of creatures. She owned a small Zoo. She had always loved animals, big or small. As a child she had a Lucain. She went everywhere with him. He was her companion, and her best friend. She loved being in the presence of majestic creatures such as Lucain and Paragon.

Ayla was always wanting to work with animals. When she turned fifteen, old enough to work, she heard there was a position at the Breeding Center. She got there as fast as she could. With her love of animals and her organisational skills, she got the job easily. She still works there to this day.

Ayla is the kind of person that wants to be friends with everyone. She is always trying to impress the people she meets. She tries to keep organized as best she can, and stay on everyone's "good side". She is often very nervous because she tries to please everyone. If she could give Breeding rooms to everyone who asked, she definitely would.

(I went with what little bits of personality could be seen from your posts in the desk area, Draiz. Hope that's how it is supposed to be? Also, because I really couldn't describe her hairstyle well: I kinda thought of a hairstyle like this one. I sadly can't draw and Subeta HQ had no hair like that. D8)

Mimi – actually, Miramina, but what kind of name is that? – is a young, 24-years old woman who is really warm-hearted, but also rather shy. If anything, she looks not all that remarkable; she's around 160cm tall and of average weight, maybe leaning a bit more towards the thin side. Her eyes are green and she wears her blond hair almost at shoulder-length, having it curl at the end. She's also shortsighted and wears large, round glasses with a thin, silver rim. Her friends try to make her wear contact lenses, since she also tends to dress rather conservatively, preferring earthy colors of browns and greens and long blouses and skirts and so she ended up being a bit of a wallflower since her youth. However, Mimi really has trouble with contact lenses, being a bit too clumsy to put them into her eyes without accidently hurting herself, and doesn't feel comfortable in more revealing clothes, so she isn't unhappy with what she looks like. In fact, she does like feminine clothes – it's rare to see her in a pair of pants. Part of her tendency to wear long blouses or shirts with some kind of jacket over them comes from the fact that she has freckles on her shoulders and back which are kind of pale unless exposed to the sun and she has been teased about them as a child a bit especially in summer. For work, she wears a bit of makeup in natural colors, matching her clothes, but in her free time, she usually uses none.

Mimi grew up as the only child of a nurse and a teacher living in Aldrect. She was always a rather calm but happy child who preferred to play with dolls instead of running around outside and getting dirty, but she also was no loner and liked having other children over. However, in school, especially the rather active boys scared her a bit with their loud games during the breaks and so she rather kept either to herself or to a few selected friends.

Mimi was a pretty average student who excelled at languages the most. She never was overly talented and while she learned to love books and reading, she preferred romance novels and couldn't bring herself to get really interested in the books she was required to read for school. Sports were always a bit of her weak point, being so short and a bit clumsy, but she still tried her best.

From an early age, Mimi wanted to become a nurse like her mother, maybe even a midwife after a friend of her mother got a small son and often brought him with her when she came over to visit Mimi's parents. Mimi really liked babies and smaller children, finding them cute as a small girl and later appreciating the fact that they weren't rude or teasing like her classmates sometimes were. Because of that, she tried hard to get good grades since studying in Medicai would need a good leaving certificate from school.

Her mother, however, wasn't all that sure that Mimi was cut out for such a job and so, she helped to get her daughter an internship at the hospital she worked at. And indeed, while Mimi loved seeing mothers holding their babies for the first time, the sight of blood made her almost faint and after that, she didn't even dare to help out in the parts of the hospital where the really sick people were, knowing fully well she would probably not only faint there, but also feel so sorry for them that the thought of maybe someone dying would seriously upset her too much.

So when she finished school with pretty average grades which wouldn't even get her into Medicai anyway, she wasn't all that sad anymore. Still, she didn't really know what she wanted to do. She considered working as a nursemaid and was about to look if someone would hire her, but that was when she saw in the newspaper that the Breeding Facility was hiring someone.

Mimi immediately wanted the job – while she never had much experience with Lucain or Paragon since with her parents working so much, especially with the nighttime shifts of her mother, the family never had the time to have a pet, Mimi loved babies of all kinds and the thought of also witnessing love stories was simply amazing to her since her love for romance novels hadn't ceased over the years. And she indeed got lucky; her right amount of modesty and professional and serious wish to work there paired with her love for children and warmhearted attitude impressed the one hiring and she got the job.

Little did she know what that would mean, though – for the first few weeks, nothing really happened and then, suddenly, she got the order to release rooms. More than happy, she announced them – just to suddenly face a hoard of screaming breeders yelling at her, trying to grab a room for their pets. The experience frightened her quite a bit, especially since it came as such a shock, and when other coworkers assured her that it was always like that, she actually thought about quitting. But then, the Lucain and Paragon (and Kuhnas) came in a bit later, sometimes meeting their partner for the first time, sometimes being lifemates already, and that actually made her happy.

It was nice to see how couples formed. Sure, some pairings weren't meant for lifemating and it was always sad when only the mothers delivered the babies and the father was never seen again, at least not by Mimi, but there also were the instances where she saw fathers smiling proudly or nervously pacing up and down in front of her desk while their female partners were delivering. And sometimes, when there were Lucain or Paragon who had human forms and who stayed together, there were a few couples who actually remembered Mimi and her warm smile when she congratulated them to their babies and helped the small families to get ready to leave once the mothers were able to and so, Mimi was sometimes even invited to a few weddings and lifematings. And really, that made more than up for the few minutes of panic she had to face each time when rooms were announced.

That was why Mimi liked it when raffles were announced and the system changed. Now only the nice part of her work remained, really, and she was glad for it, since the Breeding Facility had been closed for quite some time before that and she had missed seeing couples, having only been busy with paperwork for months. But then there had been another reform and now, Mimi was handing out keys and it was a lot like it had been in the beginning...but Mimi continues to tell herself that the people are only yelling because they are passionate about the thought of forming bonds and families. And that helps a bit, really.

Mimi herself would like a child of her own, too, by the way. But she simply hasn't found the right man for that yet and while a baby is a great dream of hers, all the love around her and her romance novels have totally convinced her to wait for the one, true love and that man simply hasn't come to her yet. She has a few confidence issues, knowing that she is rather shy and not super-exceptional looking, but she gets along so well with pretty much everyone else working at the Breeding Facility that she is sure that there's someone out for her as well since she isn't an antisocial person and when she sometimes feels down, her friends keep telling her how loveable she is and she's not someone to mope for long anyway.



I know my dreams are made of you
Of you and only for you
Your ocean pulls me under
Your voice tears me asunder
Love me before the last petal falls






However cold the wind and rain
I'll be there to ease your pain
However cruel the mirrors of sin
Remember beauty is found within

Maggie Beaufort

A woman of about 30 with shoulder-length, somewhat puffy brown hair. She has green eyes and wears rather large glasses. In fact, she kind of looks like she never left the 90s. She is of rather average height and skinny with pale skin. As for her usual attire, it seems to be the only thing about her that is remotely modern. Y'know, jeans and a tee with a nice long silver necklace under the standard breeding center white jacket.

As for her past, Maggie had a pretty darn average life and had decided early on to get into secretarial work of all things. Even her parents weren't all that sure about it. Why not a singer like Emily, or a teacher like Dan? Even little Mellie was going for the medical career! But Maggie's mind was set, and at the ripe age of 25, she found herself jobless. She just couldn't handle people! The desk work was all fine and dandy, but it was the people work she couldn't do! Finally, she resigned to helping her sister, Mellie with taking care of sick little pups and kits. At the time, hatchlings weren't really around. She fell in love with the little critters, but still didn't feel like it was right for her. When she found out that there was a job opening for a desk lady at the breeding center, Maggie jumped right on it. After all, she didn't seem all that bad with the little ones, and the breeding center is a pretty calm place, right?
She couldn't have been more wrong. It didn't take long for the then 27 year old to be completely overwhelmed by the many vigourous breeders that charged the place. The only reason that she didn't quit (though she often wanted to) was because she wanted to prove herself to her family, to the world, and most importantly, to herself that she could do it. When that failed 2 years later, it was a little break hiding in the back room in fear that fixed her. Seeing all the happy couples and newborns made her happy, and once again she stepped behind the desk, determined to get over that silly fear of people who just wanted their rooms...no matter how scary they seemed...
You can pretend that when you hear my voice, darling, it's your choice not to fall in.

But it's all an act, 'cause I know exactly what you're wanting. You know it's what I'm wanting

Boy I know what you desire, oh, you're such a bad, bad liar

This could be perfection, or venom dripping in your mouth

Singing like a Siren, love me while your wrists are bound

Name:
Suzanne Bonnet.
The last name Bonnet is French, and is a name for a ‘wearer of unusual headgear.’

Description:
When you think of the word ‘bustle’ you can’t help but picture Suzanne. This woman practically oozes the word. Suzanne is more than middle-aged; you can’t help but pick up one of those ‘mother-hen’ vibes every time she enters a room. The first thing you’ll notice about Suzanne (She insists you call her Suzy; it makes her feel younger) when you enter the breeding facility, is the fact that she looks ridiculously harried. The bags under her eyes and the crows feet near the edges tell a story of a woman who loves her work but just doesn’t get enough vacation time (Heaven knows she could use a few months off, don’t you think?) The very second, and most prominent thing you’ll notice about Suzanne is the strange hats she wears to work. We don’t know where she keeps getting these things, but everyday they just keep getting weirder and weirder. The wider her smile, the stranger the hat. Just the other day, she came in wearing a bright yellow bonnet with a train on one side and a button with a bright green angry face on the other. Nobody knows who designs these hats for her (we can’t prove it, but we think she does it herself) or how she actually manages to wear a different one everyday without any repeats, but it’s certainly a very…outstanding features of the elderly woman.

Looks-wise, Suzanne isn’t too outstanding (she insists she was quite a stunner in her youth, and will often whip out some ridiculous photograph of her in a bikini from a few years ago; no one really wants to see it and we‘ve learned to keep a good distance between ourselves and her when she starts to ‘reminisce‘) Her hair is a pale, ashen brown with streaks of silver highlighting it (we think the gray comes from the stress of her job, but this can’t be proven) and while her skin isn’t exactly ‘saggy,’ it’s been stretched enough over the years to make her look decidedly ragged (again, this could be from her job, but we can’t prove it). Her eyes are always a bit wider than they should be, but can be called the most lovely shade of chartreuse. We’re not sure why they’re this color (Suzanne insists it’s inherited and she does NOT wear contacts, thank you very much) but it certainly does make her a bit more unique than most people at the facility. She’s not an overly tall woman (She has to stand on a box to reach the middle shelves of the filing cabinets, the poor dear), and she absolutely despises high heels.

Give her a good pair of tennis shoes and a pair of hiked up overalls any day and you’ve got one happy receptionist. Yeah, you heard right; overalls. Did we mention that weird quirk of hers? Suzanne only wears overalls (with a shirt underneath, of course; this is a child friendly operation we‘re running here!). Overalls and tennis shoes. We’re not sure what store she shops at, but we haven’t asked (no one really wants to know anyways). She doesn’t wear regular blue overalls; she always color coordinates her overalls to match the color of her hats. She insists the overalls are all ’designer brand’ and are the ’latest thing overseas.’ It's usually best not to engage her in a conversation about her choice of clothing unless you want a lecture on the 'breezy free-ness of overalls' in varying colors. Her fingers are always stained with ink, and this probably results from the incredibly fast pace she’s picked up when it comes to filling out paperwork; she’s a pro at it, and despite the various inks staining the tips of her fingers (And sometimes her face when she’s unfortunate enough to smudge her cheeks), she’s good at what she does.

When she smiles, however, there is a tell-tale sign of strain just lingering at the corner of her mouth. Her face is always stretched a bit too thin, her eyes a bit too wide, and her smile a bit too forced to be natural; most people chalk this up to the weird sort of paranoia that seems to linger at the edges of her eyes, which tend to dart around rapidly at odd hours of the day. Having a twenty or so people rushing at you from across the room can make anyone a bit…tense, to put it lightly. She always wears her hair up in a bun, which can get a bit frazzled and loose as the day wears on (especially on the room release days; we’re pretty sure she’s lost quite a bit of hair near the top because of those days, and is hiding a bald patch with that bun of hers). When you hear the tell-tale sound of squeaky tennis shoes coming down the pristine halls, and you see Suzanne marching along with files under one arm, a determined expression on her face, hiked up overalls and a hat that’s purple with a vulture perched precariously on top of it, you really ought to watch out; she’s in one of THOSE moods again.

Personality, just for kicks:
Only one word comes to mind when you want to describe Suzanne’s personality; gumption. This little old gal has guts. To stand up to the hoards of Evelonians who practically run her over in their quest for breeding rooms takes nerves of steel. Suzanne isn’t lacking in those one bit. If the hats and the overalls didn’t clue you into the fact that this little lady has an amazing amount of courage (because really, who would go out dressed like that?), then maybe the fact that she’s actually managed to get those Evelonians to stand in a single file line (from time to time) would.

That determined air on her face, her firm and slightly worn mouth set into a determined line, means that you better watch out. She’s out to get something done, and neither heck nor high water is gonna stop her from doing it. She likes to march around the offices and the reception area (sometimes we think she’s just being nosy) greeting passerby and the people who come into the reception area for licenses, keys, rooms, or just to chat (she wishes people would come to chat more often; she LOVES discussing her latest hats!).

And Suzanne is a notorious gossip. You want some news spread around Evelon? All you gotta do is let it slip when she’s in the room and that bit of juicy info will be halfway across Jawan before you can say ‘Noodles.’ Despite her stubborn streak and her gung-ho nature (you ever seen an older lady hold back a hoard of mouth-frothing room buyers while answering the phone lines AND filing paperwork? Didn‘t think so) Suzanne is really a sweet woman. She always has a lollipop or a kind word on hand for the people who come to visit (or get a room, but let’s not nit-pick) and even that worn, tired old smile will light up a bit when someone stops by to talk.

I love adventurous tales like that. That uplifting feeling that comes from seeing unknown lands and the knowledge that you came across—nothing can replace it! It opens a path from which self-confidence, experience, and important friendships—from the sharing of life or death situations—are born! But hearing it just isn’t the same. I want to create my own magnificent story!



A great adventure!

Name:
Catherine "Cathy" DeVries

Description:
Aging around her mid-twenties, Cathy appears to be quiet younger than she actually is. Whether it be her short height (5'1''), her slim build (somewhere between 90-110 lbs) or her soft, pixie-like features, nobody knows. Her eyes are a pale cornflower blue, and her skin is a bit pale from her hours of sitting at a desk instead of outside in the sun. Her clothing tends to be simple and un-ornamented - she tries hard not to appear in such a way that would draw attention to herself. Her short, strawberry blonde curls frame her face, appearing to give her a halo in some light; this only adds to her whimsical, pixie appearance.

Personality and History:
Born to a rather strict family that had more than their share of keystones, Cathy, or Catherine as her parents insisted she be called - "It's a good, solid name; no use butchering or shortening it," her parents would say - was raised in such a way that she had very limited privileges. Anything that was considered 'dirty' or 'pagan' was quickly banished or burned by her parents. Catherine as never allowed to leave her home without the accompaniment of at least one parent.

As a child, she developed a fear of animals - anything from the smallest rodent to the largest mammal scared her to the point of speechlessness. As she grew, this fear never really went away. If anything, it manifested into a paranoia of anything furry, scaly, feathery, or in any way animalistic. Even other humans seemed to frighten her, and so she was given a desk job where her main work was strictly sorting, filing, and other secretarial work that did not involve other human beings.

Having been raised to get her work done neatly and promptly, Cathy proved to be an excellent secretary. She was soon known throughout other companies as an exceptional worker and a great asset to her company. So well known was she, that when a new job at the breeding center opened up, Cathy was immediately thought of. A few strings were pulled at her old company, and soon enough Cathy was working behind a new desk at the Breeding Center.

Working in such close proximity to several other people, both human and animal alike, has forced Cathy to step up and face her fears. While she still struggles with them at time, she has grown to the point of being able to sufficiently do business with any sort of creature. Her fear remains though, and she often succumbs to short periods of paranoia, nervousness, or anxiety attacks.

Her time that's not spent at the Breeding Center or doing work after-hours at home is normally spent reading up on social events from all over Evelon. Cathy herself doesn't get out much, but she is intrigued by the world outside her own little comfort zone, and likes to keep track of its happenings.



That's all I can come up with in a short period of time xD

Lidia Clairmont

Description:
While Lidia is still in her prime, certainly no older than thirty, this unfortunate woman has the tendency to look much, much older than she really is. Some would say that she just doesn't care about her looks, while others say that she just doesn't have the time to care. Either way, her auburn, mid-length hair is almost hardly touched, save for a quick brush-through when she gets the chance. Typically, it is a wavy and ruffled mess. On the off-hand chance that she actually has the chance to straighten her hair or properly condition it, most people don't even recognize her as the same Lidia. She has hazel green eyes, though they seem gray on some days, generally when she isn't in the best of moods. Rarely does this poor women even get the chance to use eye liner or lip gloss, so she is usually make-up free.

Her skin is rather flawless, save for her hands, elbows, and lips occasionally being too dry, and the stress lines that have etched in on her face. A bottle of lotion on her desk remedies some problems, at least. Judging by her weight, it is suspected that she doesn't eat all that well, being the tiny little thing that she is. More than once, Lidia has claimed that she just can't gain weight. As for her height? Well, she hasn't measured herself in a long time, but the last time she checked, she was around 5'5". Not too tall, but not too incredibly short, either.

Now, on to some of what makes her pretty little self look older? Her clothes. She either has no fashion sense, or doesn't have the time to upgrade her wardrobe, perhaps both. While what she wears could be considered professional, her typical coat and pants dress suits only serve to make her look frumpy. They never fit her well in the middle, her shoulders, nor on her legs. She has been easily known to wear the same outfit more than once, since she sometimes goes without any breaks at all.

On the off hand chance that Lidia is actually able to take a break, say when some kind trainer seems to take pity on her and send her off to the spa? Well, she generally looks like a completely different person, up until the stress sends her back over the edge again. She honestly loves nothing more than getting a good manicure and facial so, if nothing else, her nails are usually done up very beautifully, even when she has let everything else go. With proper rest and a good spa treatment, Lidia looks nothing less than a lovely little desk flower.

Name: Rosalind Halcarte
(last name pronounced hall-cart, also nicknamed Rose)

Description: A tall, slender, woman with blonde hair (that is usually up in a bun) and blue eyes. She frequently wears high heels and pale colored dresses, especially purple (her favorite color), and likes to wear a light jacket over her dresses. She also likes to wear red lipstick and purple painted nails. Sometimes her work is so stressful that she gets baggy eyes from lack of rest, which she tries to cover with make-up. Despite, there is something quite easy on the eyes with her looks. She is 32 years old.

It took a long time to judge this contest because I read through each entry many times, never finding something that sparked my interest enough to pick it the instant I read it. It's not that the entries aren't good, but most didn't seem to capture... what I was hoping I guess. BUT! Of course, I've finally made up my mind on which ones to go with. As a heads up though, they are subject to at least some tweaking.
