Name:Kanchi (means Brilliant or Smart)

Personality: Kanchi is the brains of the family. Though her siblings aren't dumb or unintellectual Kanchi has a bit more......thought process into things. She'll weigh her options and ideas before acting on them. She is very sweet and though she always seems annoyed at her sister, she loves her unconditionally. After all what would happen to her sister if Kanchi wasn't around to keep her strait! And though she won't show it Kanchi gets angry very easily. But blowing up at people would not be wise so, she will calmly state her dislike and opinion on the matter and yell and scream at you on the inside; especially at her annoying customers. When her and her sis set out on scoutings or hunts she always the one with the cool head (whereas her sis flips out). completely loyal to a fault for her friends and family and extremely over protective. Imagine her standing there with a smile as she sweetly says "now why are you picking on my __?" and then tossing you out on your butt.

Story: Kanchi and her younger sister, Ray, co-own a small eatery off the coast of the Caribean. They have fun serving both the locals and sightseeing guests. Its a fun happy joint with a reputable no-violence atmosphere. You even look like your gonna start something you'll find your butt on the dunes outside faster than you can say Waddly-a-cha. But the restaurant isn't the sisters' main job. No, though they work a lot there and maintain it spotlessly, their main occupation is....treasure hunting. This is a small story of one of those hunts.

"Sis! are you sure this is the right location?" Ray asked her sister, Kanchi. "Ray dear, are you doubting your sister's directions?" Kanchi scoffed. "Trust me sis, this is it." Ray looked quizzically back at the small barren island before them. It sported a few palm trees but besides that was void of life. "I guess," she said not sounding at all convinced. Kanchi and Ray docked at the shore and started unloading their equipment. Once unloaded they scouted the small island. "Sis, all I see is sand, sand, and more sand!" Ray complained to her sis. Kanchi muttered a growl and thought back to the information she'd obtained. "This has to be the right spot. I'm sure of it," she growled to herself. So the two sisters continued searching. They searched till almost dusk but still nothing clued them in on finding what they were seeking. "Siiiiis, its getting dark! I really don't think its here," Ray whined, "At least lets head back before it gets dark and review our info again." Kanchi didn't wanna admit it, but her sis was right. "Alright" As they headed back to their boat Kanchi looked up at the fading sun and sighed. Suddenly, her foot caught and the ground began sinking beneath her! With a yelp a hole opened up underneath her and swallowed her. Kanchi hit with an "oofmph" as the breath was knocked out of her. "Sis! are you ok!" Ray asked frantically from above. "Yeah, I'm fine," she hollered back. Kanchi looked around to assess her surroundings and where she'd ended up. As her eyes adjusted and she finally was able to take in the contents of the small room she'd fallen into, her eyes widened. "Ray!" she yipped up at her sis, "we found it! We found the lost mad pirate's treasure!"

Something interesting: Sometimes Kanchi will take some of her and her sis's findings and create things with them. Be it jewelry, decor, or just a plain restoration. Some of these she'll keep but most she loves to give out to others. Her favorites are the town elders and children. She will often also visit the hospital with little surprises for the sick and bedridden; and if not a physical item she'll bring stories of her adventures. Kanchi has a total soft spot for children and hopes to one day mother her own so she can smother them in love. But she knows her line of work can also be dangerous and isn't quite ready to settle down yet and won't settle down while she still treasure hunts. Because she feels that if something were to happen she would never ever wanna leave her beloveds alone.

I didn’t realize how much 500 word is until now. I did really enjoy this, though. I love writing and this allowed me to challenge myself. Anyways, i hope anyone reading this enjoys it!

Name:Amara(greek name, meaning “lovely forever”)

Personality: Amara is a loving, sweet girl. She is a bit to generous, always giving, never expecting to be given to. She will always lend a hand, and rarely ever grips. Thus, she is considered by some a pushover. To strangers, she is seen as the quite, sweetheart of a friend that always helps., but can be a bit annoying. To her friends, though, she is nothing short of amazing- always giving food out to them, or treating them to a night out doing whatever they wish. She has few enemies, due to her logic that everyone is a friend. Though, if she has an enemy, it’s usually because they upset a good friend or hers, or they find her kindness annoying or weak. She is also very motherly, as you may find out. If her friends want to get into anything dangerous, she will scold them proficiently. If someone hurts you, the jader will scold them! If you continue- more scolding! She will try her hardest ro convince her friends out of any and all dangerous things, as she’ll worry to no end. She is very concerned for her friends, and even strangers, only wanting whats best for everyone. Another asset to her perosnality is how she worries over trivial things. For example, she’ll worry about if todays outfit will match the weather. She also tends to worry about others happiness, often ignoring her own happiness.

Story:a cool breeze ruffled the jaders fur, her ears laying against her head as she smiled, taking a deep breath of the fresh, salty air. Her paws steped into the sand, sinking into the warm grains. Her tail swished joyously before she bounded closer to the shore. It was the first week of summer, and amara was going to spend it at the place one would first imagine when picturing a summer scene: the glorious, beautiful beach. The wind was cool, but not freezing, just like the water, and kept her pelt cool as the sun relentlessly beat down upon her, its’ rays of light bringing life to the scene. Amara pranced, closing her eyes and letting out a happy bark as she neared the water, now starting to feel sea shells under paw. Finally, she reached the crashing waves. Water rushed through her paws, soaking the fur on her legs. She danced and laughed as she chaced the exotic fish, secretly hoping they weren’t poisonous. After quite some time of playing in the sand and waves, the sun started to set. Blissfully, the girl trotted to a grassy hill nearby, flowers dotting all over. She lay down, careful to not trample to many flowers. A smile returned on her face as a butterfly land on her nose, ans she started at the setting sun. Her heart soared as she thought of all the possibilities for this summer, before she drifted off to sleep under the stars.

Something interesting: There are many quirks to Amara, like any living creatures. She will become excited and would ramble whenever it comes to talking about baking. She adores baking, especially when it comes to a certain flavor of coconut cream items, her specialty. She also adores whenever someone tells stories. Telling tales of the past always brought an awe to her, made her visualize the story tellers world, how they live. Another food specialty she makes, is skittles.

Name: Keani
Personality: Keani is a pretty forgiving gal first and foremost. She likes to assume the best of everyone that she meets, especially to those who come to visit her bar for a couple of tasty, cold, refreshing drinks. She tends to have a sincere and bright attitude, which makes her very charming to those who cross her path. Her happiness never feels forced, especially when she's working behind her bar and mixing drinks. Likewise, the sense of joy that she puts out into a room is never too overpowering, but it's enough to make her bar feel welcoming to many upon their first step in.

However, despite Keani's almost unwavering optimism, she does have a few dark secrets behind the persona that she holds onto. She finds it difficult to trust others with her own personal secrets, never wanting to divulge her own matters out of the irrational fear that it would bring others down. That's likely why she finds working as a bartender to come naturally to her; she enjoys listening to the wondrous stories her customers have to tell without having to respond with a story herself. Additionally, she often finds herself resolving her own issues through talking to her customers when they experience one of the many life's woes. Plus, the topic of conversation is rarely ever turned towards her personally in her line of work, and she's quite appreciative of that. If anything, she's typically asked about different aspects of her job, which are questions she's always eagerly willing to answer.

Even though she's often subjected to hearing her customer's complaints and misfortunes, and in return she usually feels terrible for them, she does her best to remind herself that she can't necessarily help everyone that comes to her bar. She didn't become a bartender with the intent of solving her customers' life problems anyways. She became a bartender solely because she enjoyed learning more about drink mixing; she loves how flavorful and different beverages can be in comparison to skillfully made meals. She believes that beverages can have just as much complex flavors and complimentary subtle textures just as any deliciously crafted dish can. In her eyes, she's similar to any other ordinary trained chef. Of course, just like any other chef, she wants to make sure her customers can feel happy and comforted. Food is just as much comfort to the soul as it is to the stomach, and she wants to ensure that her very own hand mixed beverages can capture that same exact feeling. Seeing frowns or neutral expressions turn into even the faintest glimmer of an honest smile leaves her feeling joyful as well, even if they last only temporarily.

Story: There was one time while she was on summer vacation in which Keani spontaneously wanted to try her hand at surfing. She's never really experienced anything that relates to being on a moving board, so while she was nervous, she was equally just as excited to try something new in life. Her friends took her out to a nearby surf shop, which offered surfing lessons and rented out huge surf boards. Some of her friends were fairly proficient at the skill, so instead of attending a surfing lesson hosted by the shop, they taught her the basics themselves for free.

Keani found getting onto and standing on the board to be absurdly difficult, especially with their safety gear on, so their lessons didn't get too far. They taught her a few important tips when being on a board though, just to ensure that she would have a safe experience once they hit the waves out in the ocean. So, instead of being on her own board by herself, she knelt down near the very top tip of the board as one of her friends took her out into the ocean.

Even though she wasn't on her own performing wild tricks, the experience still was able to absolutely take her breath away. Being able to be on the front of the board, kneeling down close to the water, was a magical experience for her. She loved the feeling of speeding through the ocean mist as she stuck her paw in the nearby wave of cool water. It was quickly halted once the wave crashed on both of them, but Keani didn't mind it one bit. In fact, she was happy to be able to experience almost everything that came with surfing. She swam up quickly with her friend, heartily laughing about it.

That one long day was filled with complete and new fun for Keani, and it got her thinking about what next new experience she should try next year during the summer.

Something interesting: Keani doesn't normally have that big of a sweet tooth when it comes down to food, as she prefers mostly savory foods and snacks. While she can enjoy a sweetened, fruit-flavored beverage, she finds it difficult to enjoy most candies and baked goods. The only treat sweet she can usually tolerate eating is ice cream. Keani believes that it's usually because of how artificial most sweets taste to her. The artificial taste tends to often overwhelm her taste buds.

However, she has an extreme weakness for freshly made pineapple Dole Whips. She loves the taste of pineapple, especially when it's paired up with coconut milk and vanilla ice cream. If given the opportunity, she'll eagerly buy them when available just to taste how a certain restaurant makes them. More often than not, Keani makes them at home now that she was able to find the perfect recipe for them. Whenever she makes the creamy treat at home though, she always needs to add extra homemade vanilla ice cream to the side and a petite maraschino cherry on top.

Name: Naomi (Pleasant One)

Personality: Naomi is a fun loving Jader that's energy knows no bounds. When encountering others there is no soul she has met that won't agree that she is quirky, curious and always easy to approach. Naomi often wanders away from work to go to where she believes the excitement is and can be found in gathering crowds or off exploring what may be a dangerous area; sometimes closed off by barriers or signs advising pedestrians not to enter. This won’t stop the adventurous ball of energy and she passes them by like they never existed. Although Naomi has gusto to carry on for hours, she is no stranger to relaxation and frequently enjoys taking naps in her hammock close to the shore line sipping on a tropical juice of sorts and listening to the waves crash against the sand.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Story (She is a kemonomimi or Anthro in this story): The music played loudly outside the shop; The town's cheers were bursting through the glass windows that looked onto the town streets from the small smoothie shop. The yearning feeling to leave her position and join in the festivities were itching at the back of her mind as she tapped her foot along with the beat; swaying her hips while she tossed in fresh coconut water, pineapple and kiwi into the blender. Naomi's ears twitched with each hit of the drums bleeding in from outside, anxiously looking to and from the clock to her current blend of fruit in the mixer. "Ugh.. work couldn't go by fast enough." She said with a huff, Cordelia chuckling from the other side of the counter. "It’s not funny Lia." The pouting Naomi responded, sticking her tongue out at her friend who had come by to snag something refreshing for her and her son that was currently outside dancing in a group of people. Today was the day of the Sands Of Time Festival that celebrated the founding of their small beach town hidden in the valley of two seaside cliffs.

Naomi had 10 minutes before the shop closing and time couldn't go fast enough. Cordelia had left to bring Ronan his drink and could be seen clapping outside. The manager stepped out from his office and witnessed the anxious fidgety Naomi staring out the windows; and with a sigh and a roll of his eyes he ushered her to clock out and offered to finish her shift and the after closing shop cleanup. Naomi’s response wasn’t spoken, as her face lit up and she rushed in the back, changing at the speed of light; the manager knew her answer. Finally, she could join in the fun and Naomi wasted no time throwing up her hair and squeezing her way into the bustling crowd that was moving to different stalls, snagging some town famous food and dancing; snagging a kabob on her way closest to the music. Naomi finally entered inside the small platform where everyone was caught breaking out their best choreography and others just being silly. Ronan was caught amidst those just dancing for fun and Naomi jumped in next to him, sway her hips and raising her arms to move them as she danced inconsistently with Cordelia’s son.

The festival came to an end as everyone parted, and the stalls had been packed up when Naomi went on her way toward home; hair in a mess and strawberry glaze stains drizzled on her shirt. As she walked along the stone street she kicked something, a silver locket in the shape of a star adorned with pink quartz. Curiously Naomi tried to opening to no avail, it seemed it was sealed somehow and decided eventually she would find the owner and ask them to show her what was inside and although work was a drag for her, today opened up an opportunity for an adventure to open this trinket she had found!

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Something Interesting: Naomi uses a metal detector along the shore to find lost jewelry, gold coins and other neat trinkets. These little treasures along with polished stones, seashells and different types of wires are used in Naomi's crafts to make cuffs, crowns, and statuette art pieces that she later sells at a local farmers market close to her Job at the smoothie bar.
