Name ~ Vela Gender ~ Female Age ~ 2,237 (in Star Child years, that's more like 14) Occupation ~ Messenger, young soldier Species ~ Star Child (canine branch) Family ~ Navis (mother), Argo (father), Carina (older sister), Pyxis (older brother), Puppis (younger brother) SO ~ Ace Personality ~ A follower, fragile, curious, insecure, not particularly brave Strengths ~ Being with family, star-reading or stargazing, travelling through space and time Weaknesses ~ Fighting, taking care of people, keeping promises Orign (small blood warning) ~ Vela was born into a life among the stars with her parents and three siblings. She was always the middle child, forgotten amongst Carina's leadership, Pyxis's rebellions, and Puppis's innocence. It was a peaceful life -- Vela had been born into the messenger business and had been training for that her whole life (though she preferred Pyxis's work of navigation) -- until the war began. It had started when an unknown branch of constellations attacked the Zodiac council, and worked its way down until even the smallest branches of constellations, such as Crater and Corvus, were fighting for their lives. Carina, Pyxis, Vela, and Puppis were all thrown into the war against their will and separated into different camps. Vela was miserable in her camp, until she met the only friend she had ever known outside of her family -- Malus. Malus was of the canine branch, like Vela, but she had never seen him before. However, now that she thought about it, he kind of resembled Pyxis... During Vela's first real battle, Malus fought by her side, as a friend. What Vela didn't know was that there were other troops from her side fighting the same battle. So, when she ran into Pyxis during the battle, it was a total surprise. They greeted like they hadn't seen each other in years, though it had only been a few months. Suddenly, Pyxis stopped. His eyes went glassy, and he collapsed to the ground, blood pooling around him. Vela looked up to see Malus standing behind the dead Pyxis, claws covered with the blood of her brother. It struck Vela. Malus wasn't on her side anymore. In fact, he never had been. It was all a ruse. How many others had he killed when Vela was with Pyxis? How many had his people killed throughout this whole war? It was then Vela realized -- Carina wasn't here anymore. Neither was her mother, or her father. Not even Pyxis or Malus was there to tell her what to do. She had to think for herself now. And what she was thinking now, well, that was something that Malus didn't want to know. It was something that none of his side wanted to know. It was something that Pyxis would have wanted. It was that Vela, the Sails, daughter of Argo and Navis, was going to end this was. Even if it was the last thing she would ever do. Heyy, this contest was super cool! Just wondering, if I don't get the character, can I keep the story? Thanks!
