As I said in my signature, too much Japanese influence |D

Favorites

Favorite Food: She likes Ramen, mostly because it's a Japanese dish, and about all she knows how to make. I'm surprised she can make that, actually... I'm guessing my Scarfblob helped her with it. She likes Ramen, too >_>

Favorite Drink: Well, seeing as we don't let her have alcohol (Because she's so young, and we know how drinking went for her namesake), she likes grape juice of any kind.
Favorite Color: Red, like fire.
Favorite Song: Thanks to Zilar's influence, it's a tie between the original Reset, the Thank You version of Reset, SuriOokami's version of Reset, and Rising Sun... Which has elements of Reset in it. She also likes South Ryoshima Coast and Great Divine Intervention, though.

It's always freezing around here. Freezing, cloudy, and generally gross outside. It looked misty from the snow last night, so I was inspired to write this. Asdfjkl, I hate writing poetry. I can't do it ._.'

Winter
By Taka, the Skyflier Rune

Snow is falling, fine yet think
Leaving roadways frozen, slick
It is great, but also small
Making snowbanks three feet tall
Freezing wind and icy air
But the children, they don't care
Going out despite the gale
Sometimes getting hit by hail
Plant life withers, flowers die
Cold as ice, and desert dry
But spring will return again
Bringing with it our old friends
Birds will sing, and Runes will fly
And once again, we'll touch the sky

For Taka, the Skyflier Rune. He's so sexy .3.

Favorite Drink: Sparkling apple cider. She loves it.
Favorite Color: White and red. Oops >_>
Favorite Song: South Ryoshima Coast and Great Divine Intervention. Both versions of them. And both versions of Reset. And Rising Sun. And... Let's just say any song from that series. She's obsessed |D Besides that, though, she seems to like this fandub of Little Prayer from Fruits Basket. Huh.
Favorite Activity: Painting, doodling, making things out of clay, and so on. Also, playing and/or watching Ōkami stuff.

More competition posts. I really like the female Nocturne Rune .3.

The little black dragon with glowing green markings sighed. Garnet was right. There really were no firelight flies... Er, fireflies, as she called them, around here. Which was a shame, as she was rather hungry. She glanced back as her back door opened.

"Are you still out here, 'Taru?" asked a large pink wolf. She placed her paws on the grill the Rune sat on. "Come on, you should really go in. It's cold out here. I mean, it's December, right? That's pretty much winter around here. Heck, even October is freezing here!"

The dragon sighed. "No, Hana. I'm not leaving until I see a firelight fly."

The goddess rolled her eyes. "Come on, even I know those things aren't around here. And they're called fireflies in this area, okay?"

"I'm not leaving."

"I don't think they even come around here during winter!"

"I don't care. They'll find me."

Hana shook her head. "You're really hopeless, you know that? Even more than-"

She was interrupted by a small shriek from the creature. "I see one! I knew there were some here!" she exclaimed, flying off towards a small, bouncing light.

Wait... Bouncing?

The goddess-wolf ran after her. "Hey, Hotaru? Hotaru? Hotaru, that's not-!"

Too late. The Rune had already snapped up the glowing creature. "Huh, I'd never seen a pink firelight fly before. Never even heard of one, in fact. Is that a subspecies only found around here or something?" she asked, her mouth full.

"No, it's not! It's not a firefly, or a firelight fly, or anything! Now spit it out!" she exclaimed, skidding to a stop and panting. "Just trust me, you'll want to spit it out right now!"

Hotaru tilted her head. The goddess certainly seemed rather panicked...

As much as she resented doing it, she obliged, spitting out the luminescent creature.

"Oh, gross!" yelled a tiny voice. "I knew Ammy did this sort of thing to Issun a long time ago, but a bird... Dragon... Thing?! Come on! That's just ridiculous! And your slobber glows, too! Ick!"

Hana sweatdropped. "That's what I was afraid of."

Hotaru, meanwhile, was glancing between the tiny, insect-like creature, which was now hopping about furiously and leaving small drops of glowing green saliva all over, and Hana. "What is that?" she eventually asked.

Hana sighed. "That, my friend, would be a Poncle."

The dragon stared. "A what?"

"Oh, boy, how do I explain this..?" The wolf mumbled. "Well, Poncles are basically tiny glowing people. It's hard to explain, but they're basically-"

"Trained artists, messengers of the gods, etcetera, etcetera," interrupted the Poncle. "Which makes me wonder, why would you try to eat me if your friend here is a goddess?! We're some of the ones who give them their power, you know!"

Hotaru raised an eyebrow. "Friends? With her?" she asked. "Hahaha no," she said flatly. "And how do you know whether or not she's a goddess? Maybe she's just a really weird dog."

They couldn't see it, but the Poncle rolled her eyes. "Because, stupid, I can tell when someone's a deity or not. Besides, with how many different deities there are, there's got to be someone to be an envoy for them! I just so happen to have been assigned to her."

"Assigned to... Wait, so you're Momiji?" Hana asked, surprised.

"Ugh! Please don't call me that! I am not a Sohma, nor do I plan to be!" She hopped up onto the Rune Dragon's nose. "So, what's this idiot's name?"

"This 'idiot' can say for herself," she growled. "Hotaru."

"I see. Well, I don't exactly have anywhere to stay, so I'm with you guys from now on, okay?"

"No." With that, she flung the Poncle to the ground.

"Actually, yes," Hana interjected. "She kind of has to be, being my envoy and all. She has to stay somewhere, anyway."

"Well, why here?"

"You grabbed her in your mouth and covered her in spit. Ever since Issun and Ammy, Poncles usually stay with people who do that. They're usually friends, too."

"...Oh. Well, that's incredibly stupid."

"May I interject?" asked Momiji.

"No," the two replied.

"...Well, fine, then. But I will say this: If you call me by my full name again, I'll draw on your face while you sleep. Like a Jigglypuff. Got it? Get it? Good."

And, with that, the group had yet another addition to their 'Gemstones', as Garnet liked to call them. And, as much as it irritated Hotaru at the time, she was here to stay. At least they became fairly good friends after a while, right?

...Right?

...No?

So, yeah. Somewhat obscure references made here. If you don't know where Momiji came from, or what she is, you may want to check out the Ōkami Wiki and the page on it about Poncles. If nothing else, it should help clear things up a little, right~? Also, the Sohma comment is about Fruits Basket. Being one of the more popular shōjo manga/anime series around here, I'm not going to link to it, being a less important reference than the other stuff.

Well, rambling aside, good luck to all who entered for her, and I can't wait to see who wins~
