Galaxy


I named her Galaxy because I think the name is fitting and I like it. Her design however is taken from a type of leafy sea dragon. I used the sea dragon because I feel they are a good fit with the Kelpari design and I love them. This particular one has a beautiful combination of blues, greens, and whites that make it seem almost iridescent in a way.

Pet Breed: Aeridini
Pet Name: Willow Whispers

I wanted to do a pet based around the concept of Will-o'-the-wisp, the ghost light seen by travelers at night, hovering ominously over swamps and bogs. I felt Nebula and Glitterdust really captured the sparkle of the lights in the way I wanted. And Nebula just looks nice against Tiger Sparrow Wings. As for why green--I considered going with white and yellow because the lights are usually portrayed as such, but I'm not a fan of yellow. So I decided green for the swamps they're said to lurk in.

Smaug, based off of Smaug the dragon from the Hobbit. I chose the magma runes because you can see his chest light up in a similar pattern right before he spews flame. You see the wind essence because he has just scared off an invisible intruder trying to steal his gold. His eyes are the color of the very gold he so jealously hoards.

Dreamscape, the unicorn whose dreams soared without wings


Backstory: Since her birth, Dreamscape was considered the bringer of curses and bad luck. According to her pegasus elders, unicorns were the unholiest creatures due to their unnatural abilities. "Dare not look into the eyes of a unicorn for they bare a secret most foul," Xernum, the medicinal elder warned the herd. Upon Dreamscape's birth, she was met with suspicion and neglect. Bullied by other foals and taunted by adults, Dreams (for short) felt lonely and wondered what her purpose was. Numerous times, Dreams could be seen sitting alone by the pond and silently wishing her horn away- just to be with the herd. However, one fateful day will change not only her own self beliefs but the beliefs of her herd.

As Dreamscape watched the foals play by the pond, she felt the urge to surround them in a field of flowers. Moments later, flowers soon appeared around the foals' hooves, causing the foals to whine in shock and delight. Their gazes soon turned to Dreamscape and her lit horn. At first, they looked wary and unsure whether to trust a supposed cursed one. However, their suspicion was quelled as Dreams made the water dance and cool them in the summer heat.

Upon seeing the foals retreat, Dreams' ears drooped in fear of rejection. However, the foals soon returned with the elders and looked expectedly at Dreamscape. Dreams realized her life's purpose and listened to the hopes of her herd. With each thought, she created worlds and visions never seen generations before. Years after the passing of Xernum and the other elders, Dreamscape lives on, sharing her gift and making hopes come true. Those who have been blessed by her presence swore to have seen the slight outline of a pair of wings at her sides. Perhaps Dreams was much closer to her herd than even she realized.

*I've had this unicorn character since I was little, but I could never think of a good backstory due to being a terrible writer back then. The herd's stereotype against unicorns is based off my own battle with self identity. Had it not been for my friends and family, I would not be nurturing this gift to create and inspire others like Dreamscape has done for her herd.

Name: Dream



Hello, my name is crzyanimemom. I am a detective. I have only recently started doing this job so my client list is small. A storm is brewing this evening. I sit listening to the rain fall. There is a knock on my door. A woman walks in only saying that her name is Sara, and that she wants me to find her brother. She hands me an envelope saying that is my payment for the job and a picture of her brother is in the envelope. She leaves before I can ask her anything about her brother. So I open the envelope and look at the picture. I also take out the money and almost freak. There is $25,000 in my hand. I drop the envelope in my shock and a small piece of paper falls out. There is a pic of Sara's brother standing in front of a bar. I know where that bar is. It's on the outskirts of town in a very remote area. The people who go there are not nice people. The rain has stopped so I decide to check out the bar. I'm sitting in my car watching who goes in and out of the place. Close to closing time I see Miss Sara's brother walk out and get into his car and drive away. I follow at a safe distance. He turns of onto a dirt road and keeps going. This is strange because this road only leads into the forest that is thick with mist and fog from the storm. We drive for a couple of hours. There is no houses or anything out this way, so I can't imagine why he driving out here. He finally stops gets out of his car and walks into the forest. I park my car, get out and follow. The fog only gets thicker until I can only make out his outline. Soon that disappears and I'm alone. The first thing I notice is the sounds have changed. No more forest noises. It is just quiet, nothing but quiet. The fog thins out and I find myself in the middle of a clearing. No one but me in the clearing. I hear voices coming from a distance away so I follow to see who they are. As I walk along I find a strange nest laying on the ground. In the nest is the most strangest looking egg I have ever seen. There is no creature there to protect and keep it warm. I haven't the heart to leave it there to die. So I wrap it up in my neck scarf to keep it warm , and put it in a pocket in my coat. Sometime later I arrive at the place where I hear the voices. As I try to move closer I see Miss Sara's brother talking to some men. They don't look very nice. Just as I start to see if I can hear what they are talking about, a hand covers my mouth and I am pulled back into some bushes. A voice tells to be quiet. We move a ways from the voices. I swear that my new companion is a elf. I mean pointy ears and all. I don't know what to say. Elves are myths right. But here I am looking right at one. All he does is glare at me. Then he ask no more like growls what do you want with those evil wizards. I just stare at him. They are wizards for real? He realizes I'm not from there. We go sit under an overhang and he lights a fire. I still can't believe I'm looking at a elf. As I get warm by the fire pulling my thoughts together to ask questions. I feel something moving in my pocket. I reach in my pocket and pull out my scarf. I totally forgot about the egg. I unwrap the egg, and about to set it down on the ground and it hatches in my hands. The most beautiful creature I have ever seen is sitting in my hands trilling at me. It is the color of my most favorite time of the year Fall. Warm browns, yellows, and reds. It's colors bring back memories of wonderful times before my parents passed. My most special memories. This tiny creature had all the beauty of them. The rain started again as I stared at the creature the was a load clap of thunder and a bright flash of lighting I was so startled I fell out of my chair. Wait my chair? It was all a dream. I was still in my office. As I was picking up my chair there was a knock on my door. In walks a woman who told me her name was Sara and she wanted me to find her brother. I just smiled. I was on my way to find my beautiful Dream creature.

Have you ever wondered what suddenly wakes you when you are in a nightmare, that hasn't quite ended yet? Or what would happen if you weren't able to escape the nightmare?

Thankfully you never really have to worry, because of the guardians called the Dream Aeries. They help us escape from the horrible world that houses our nightmares, to ensure we do not get trapped there. You'd have to be quick to catch a glimpse of them when waking up, because while they are curious in nature, they are also quite cautious due to their experiences in Ophire, the Mad Dimension (The nightmare world)

Don't let their dark appearance scare you, they need to be able to blend in with the creatures of your horrors.

Name: Hikari, Light's Joy



Hikari is the only Dream Aerie spotted so far, because her curious nature overtakes her cautious nature sometimes. She enjoys rescueing people, and is considered to be really good at it, however the other Dream Aeries worry for her. Sometimes she foregoes all caution and pull incredible stunts in Ophire, so far all of them have ended well.
Hikari has a fondness for little children and tends to secretly revist them the night after their nightmare, just to make certain they are still alright.

Flower Child

Born during a time of strife in the land, when warring factions fought each other for the right to control the governing rulers of the cities nearby, Flower was a dragon of peace. Her whole goal in life was spreading prosperity and for that, she was evening willing to give her life. She worked hard to bring peace to the valleyed area where she lived, but the rebellion grew despite that, until it started involving ordinary people instead of just politics. She was severely injured saving a young boy one day from all the fighting and almost sacrificed her life as a result. Touched by her caring, the people finally laid their weapons aside and peace talks began. As a reward for her service to them, they outfitted her with a special armor and vowed that as long as she soared the skies above them, there would be peace.

Black Fires Queen


Queen has long since learned that this world is full of hurt, and others will only cause pain. So she keeps to herself. She has been forced to realize she is a pride based creature and needs a 'family' unit to keep herself 'sane', so she sits on the outskirts, listening to conversations and observing those around her to fulfill her baser needs of socialization, while at the same time staying far enough away that there's no risk of her being pulled in. Queen loves to run at night, when it's quiet and peaceful, and for just a little bit, she can forget the world and live in fantasies where hurt does not exist.

She is lonely, but it is that loneliness that keeps her from getting hurt, and she is okay with that. As long as she has the night, she doesn't need anything else.

Aiko Chou


Aiko ~ From Japanese (ai) "love, affection" and (ko) "child".
Chou ~ Means "butterfly" in Japanese.

Aiko Chou's design was inspired by the mix of emotions felt while experiencing a bittersweet love. Sometimes things just don't always go the way we hope for and emotions, expectations and series of events can lead to bruised feelings. But in retrospect those emotions, albeit a little embarrassing and sad, were honestly translated and that time spend with that someone has now been ingrained as a beautiful memory. And this is what Aiko Chou represents to me.
