[/u][/size][/center]
Name: Etoile de Glace (pronouced E- twal-d-glass)
Age: 120 years (appearance of a 12 year old human girl)
Gender: Female
Species: Element Faerie
Appearance:
Etoile, as a Faerie (and an Element Faerie nonetheless), bears the appearance of a small human creature with wings and elf-like ears. Her natural size is roughly 5 inches in height. Tiny don't you agree? However, Etoile possesses the unique power to disguise herself as a human, and when she does this she gains the appearance of a 12 year old and her wings are absorbed into her body. Her human body is 4 foot and 7 inches tall (which is quite small for a 12 year old, so she appears younger than she actually is), with a slim figure and very pale skin that has a slight pink tinge to it, her ears however remain at the same proportion to her human body as they were to her faerie body, (bearing in mind that's proportion, NOT size) and are pointy - which makes people sceptical about this little girl.
Let's start with her appearance as a Faerie. As previously mentioned, Etoile's Faerie form is about 5 inches tall, which means she could neatly sit in the palm of a young teenager's hand. Her wings are translucent and appear to have dark blue glass wrapped around them as they don't appear flimsy as you think Faerie's wings would. In the light they shine a soft yet sharp water colour and often give the appearance that they're soild and made out of ice - but alas they are truly gently, delicate wings like any butterfly you see flying around. Coming out of her shoulder blades, Etoile's wings break into four, and the outermost tip of her wings reach 2.5 inches away from her body. Now that Etoile's proportions are out of the way we move onto her natural and physical features. Etoile's eyes are a deep midnight blue with an icy touch when the light shines on them or relfects from them. Her hair is quite short. Giving the sense that it clings to her head tightly yet flicks out and flows at the tips. Her hair is a deep, tree bark brown that reaches down to the bottom of her neck in the shape of a bob and tickles her sometimes when she's running about.
Etoile's clothes, compared to her natural features, are not the blue tones that seem to be of her genetics. In fact her outfit contrasts the blues and browns of nature, and are coloured gold and pure white. For example, the bulk of her outfit consists of a sleeveless, snow white leotard, trimmed with golden calligraphy-like patterns and a purple silk gem that has bene sowed in to rest on her breast bone - and the leotard manages to stay on Etoile through a strong, padded neck warmer that tips the dress-like-outfit. Etoile wears thin, opaque, petal shaped pieces of material that attach at her waist with fluffy pom poms that resemble snowballs. These four white flimsy pieces of material wrap around this Faerie's waist to give the outfit some volume and appear as a skirt. Etoile's arms are covered in long, tight pieces of white material that are trimmed with golden lace and a thin, golden bangle at each wrist - the glove like sleeves cutting short at the Faerie's wrists and underarm. Etoile's outfit is then complete with tiny hooped earrings in her long, pointy ears.
Etoile's appearance doesn't change much when she transforms into a human. Her height reaches that of 4"7 and her wings are absorbed into her body. But the overall outift remains the same. And her ears stay at the same elf-like proportion (which is around 4 inches in her human form, 4 inches per ear that is). And in her human form, Etoile gains long, knee length pure white boots. So walking around in the world of Pokemon and humans, Etoile would look quite the strange 12 year old girl.
Personality:
Etoile's personality changed greatly after her 120th birthday. She released her inner self, her true self, the Etoile that was locked away was set free after roughly a century of misery and secretiveness. Etoile grew up with high expectations so she forced herself to keep her perosnality locked deep within her heart. For 120 years she was an obedient, well-mannered, mature, elegant, beautiful, tranquil, emotionless heiress. An emotionless child. With no friends. With no happiness. Just orders that had to be followed. And expectations that had to be filled. There were no fun times. There was no laughter. There was no smiling. Reuben (Etoile's daemon) wasn't an emotionless being, and at night when it was just the two of them he often tried to get here to express herself. But his plans were to no avail. He would trasnform into a Pokemon and attempt to do something funny but Etoile never reacted. She simply slipped into the covers and fell asleep once Reuben had laid next to her. The poor child.
It was the same everyday routine. Parties, meetings, ball gowns etc. The life of a well respected heriress. Not the life of a child. Etoile was 110 years old, adn she decided to go to the Lake of Truth with Reuben for a dance lesson from her tutor. She was to practice her waltz with the instructor and perfect it by night fall. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. Three simple steps over and over again. Still no expression was on Etoile's face. Reuben, in a last hope for Etoile's smile, made some commotion in the nearby forest and the instrcutor left Etoile to go and sort out the ruckus. So Etoile was left on the lake by herself. She felt some vibrations below her feet that were gently placed on the ice. The ice was thin but being a de Glace Etoile could easily control it. Noticing that it was thin she leant down and stretched out her right palm along the slippering, crystalised surface. She was about to thicken the ice but she saw two figures underneath. She kenlt down and looked through the ice inquisitively. She oculd see two fish Pokemon. They were swimming through the water but it didn't seem like swimming ot Etoile. It was more like they were gliding adn dancing in a watery abyss. She watched with intent and pleasure - wishing that she could be free like them. That was the first sign of hope and of her true disposition that Etoile got, but she quickly shut it away. After that the instructor and Reuben returned and the three returned to the mansion - but the ice was still in its thin state.
After glimpsing her true self even for a moment, Etoile swore to never reveal that side of herself again. So she continued to lock away her true personality. Until that fateful day, 10 years later. She met a boy - the same as her. He was an heir to an Element Faerie family (its explained in detail in the History). He was the son of the water Faerie family - Richard Aquamarine. After he kidnapped her, and took her to the Lake of Truth, Etoile was reminded of the day when she saw the fish Pokemon dancing underwater. She felt that no one could judge her here adn she danced and frolicked around the ice like a ballerina. Truly enjoying herself. Her true nature escaped. Her happy, energetic, clumsy personality made its entrance and it would never wither away again. And hours after that, Richard adn Etoile vowed to become great Pokemon trainers. To train Pokemon as beautiful as those they saw under the water.
So now, Etoile and Reuben are on a journey to train Pokemon and to become great trainers. Along the way Etoile is her true self. Falling over adn bumping into things a lot. Yet being elegant and talented when need be. So this peppy pair are ready for aything, despite their past.
History:
You wouldn't be able to tell by the look of her, but Etoile is actually 120 years old. The reason for this is because Faereis' age 100 times slower than humans - so in reality Etoile has the heart and mind of any 12 year old human girl - thus the reasoning for her appearance as a human. Anyway, Etoile was born into the Faerie Realm as an Element Faerie - a Faerie with the power over ice, a "de Glace".
In the Faerie Realm there are 8 Element Faerie types. And Faeries born into these rare, small Faerie families, are able to control one of the elements.
Aquamarine = Water
Eclaire = Fire
Arbre = Earth
Ventus = Wind
De Glace = Ice
Ironward = Metal
Pearle = Light
Caliga = Dark
The eight families are of royal lineage and the future of the Faerie Realm rests on their petite shoulders. So from an extremely early age (from the moment they're born really) they recieve the highest quality of manners and education, they are highly respected and are to appear elegant and beautiful at all times and ust never play around. And every 300 years, each family elects the Faerie that will become the head, the one to have complete control and utter authoirty over their Element Faerie. It was (and still is) an age old tradition. The trouble occurs however, when a single rebllious Faerie is born.
This brings us to the beginning of Etoile's life story. 120 years ago, there was a great ceremony being held in the Faerie Realm. Faeries of all nationalities and rank gathered at the Lake of Truth - surroduning its glistening, calm appearance, all anxious to watch the ceremony unfold. There were Fire Faerie flames and Light Faerie glows trimming the side of the lake, making the Lake of Truth appear like a reflection of the sky up above. Faeries were cheering, their minature sized daemons by their side supporting the event. It was a glorious day. For today was a festival. Sixteen faeries, each in a pair, each creating their own specifically, coloured glow, gently floated down onto the tip of the water forming a circle. As the Faeries gently swayed above the water, the crowd grew silent and watched in awe. Ripples began to form in the centre of the circle, becoming larger as they moved away from the centre. The small waves followed one another in unison, pulsing from a tiny spot in the centre. As the first ripple reached the encircled pairs of Faeries - the water ripples stopped. And emerging from under the water were eight differently coloured flowers. The flowers resemebled many different famous ones. There were roses and lillies, tulips and daffodils. No two flowers were of the same kind or colour. There was a single flower in front of each Faeries couple and slowly the petals began to bloom revealing small childish beings in the centre of each of them. 4 boys and 4 girls. The small childiren blinked a few times before raising their heads and looking up at the man and woman parrallel to themselves. They were babies. Blinking up at their parents. And each couple picked up the child held them close and claimed them as part of their family. As today was the Ceremony of Rebirth. Today the next generation of Element Faeries were born. A couple with a slight blue/white tinge to their glow held a baby girl in their arms. She had midnight blue eyes and soft, dark brown hair - and gently the couple whispered "Etoile..."
So Etoile was born during the Ceremony of Rebirth (COR). Now, as mentioned previously, Element Faeries have a harsh and strict upbringing. The de Glace family were no exception to that rule. A lot was expected of Etoile and her daemon. This generation of Element Faeries were only given 1 child - thus those children had no choice but to be the next heads of their familes. They were highly respected and extremely obedient. They attended every ball, every ceremony, represented their family at every occasion, had beautiful elegance and exceptional manners. Their intelligence was phenomenal. They were what they were supposed to be. But were they happy? They were avoided, as they were too important to be in the presence of. Children didn't play with them because they were afraid to offend them. They were pampered. Honoured. But had no freedom.
No freedom. Eahc child of this generation was the same. Etoile included. They were what they were supposed to be. Nothing more. Nothing less. Their daemons followed what they were told to do too. They had no choice. However, two daemons in particular were not the obedient counterparts that they should be.
Every decade the Element Faeries held a ball. And when it reached their youngest generations' 120th (12th) birthday it was the De Glace's turn to be the host. The Lake of Truth was frosted over to play the part of the dance hall. Glistening Ice balls were held in lanterns, relfecting the light of the full moon hanging overhead. Refreshments were made. The atmosphere was made to resemble the hosting Faerie's element. So as the Ice Faeries, the area and space of the ball was to be cold yet dazzling. And the De Glace's did not fail.
As the guests arrived, Mr adn mrs de Glace greeted them politely and elgantly with a sweet smile - by their side stood a small girl. She was a lot smaller than the average 120 year old Faerie and she seemed quite reserved. She didn't say a word nor did she smile. She merely acknowledge the guests' arrival with a slight nod. Standing by her side was her daemon. He was curetous too. Acknowledging the arrival of the Faeries witha polite nod. But every now and then he would glance to his Faerie's side to see her emotionless. Like a robot. And a tinge of sorrow adn anger surged through his body. And then the last of the guests arrived. The Aquamarines'. They smiled down at Etoile, complimenting her demonour and congratulating her parents for raising such a divine child. Etoile's parents laughed along with them and thanked them politely, floating away in what they called an intriguing conversation. They left their child there before calling sternly,
"Come Etoile."
Etoile nodded lifelessly adn then turned to follow her parents.
"Is that all?"
Etoile jolted in surprise and lifted her head to find herself face to face with a young boy - the same age as her. The face she knew as the Aquamarine's heir, Richard Aquamarine. She stared at him. Why was he stadning by her side? Should he have not gone to join his parents and the other guests?
"Etoile right?"
Etoile continued to stare at the boy who seemed ot be having a great time. He seemed kind and smug and full of happiness but why? By his side was his daemon - she cooed in her form. The form of which should have been a water type but was instead a Swablu. It seemed that the daemon had settled, but settled as something that it was not supposed to. As a member of Aquamarine's the daemon should be a water type. But it wasn't. Etoile was shooked but nodded cautioulsy and then turned to follow her parents making their way to the mansion. However she was stopped by a sudden force that was gripped at her wrist.
Etoile looked to see Richard's hand clasped around her arm and she still did not say a word. Reuben loooked down at the scene in his Glaceon form (an ice form as was expected but what was not his true form, he had yet to settle). And he charged forward at the Faerie heir but was stopped by the Swablu who smiled cheekily at the daemon and shook her head in taunt. Richard leant close to Etoile's ear and whispered enthusiastcally,
"Come on!"
Richard began to fly toward the Lake of Truth, Etoile gripped in his grasp as his blue wings fluttered. Etoile looked up at the boy as he laughed and dragged her in the direction of the water. The Swablue daemon was happily flying and flipping alongside them and Reuben was chasing down below but he was struggling to keep up. Reuebn, in his anger, abandoned his four legged form and traded it to one with wings. He became a Taillow and rapidly pursued the trio up high. When they reached the lake, Richard grabbed Etoile's wiast and stetled her down on the ice.
Etoile blushed. She was confused. She was worried. She felt as if she had broken the rules. She felt rebellious. She felt angry. She opened her mouth slightly and said,
"W.....?"
Richard bent down closer to her and said with a grin,
"Pardon?"
Etoile stood up and her wings fluttered quickly as her anger increased,
"Why!?!?"
Richard laughed and smiled up at her, she had lifted herself off the ice and her face was red with anger. Etoile suddenly felt embarrassed and covered her mouth with her hands, her wings slowing in pace. Richard flew up to meet her in the sky and said,
"Because we deserve to have fun don't 'cha think?"
Etoile stared at the boy in amazement. Is this the kind of feeling that normal Faerie's had? She thought to herself. Suddenly though the Aqumarine boy was tackled form behind by a Taillow. He and the minature Taillow crashed to the floor in a heap and Etoile and the Swablu daemon stared from above. Etoile's lips twitched.
They twicthed. And she was suddenly overocme by a great feeling. A feeling o happinees and a strange sound emerged from her throat. The sound of laughter. She laughed at Richard adn Reuben on the icy ground, she laugehd so much that a pain emerged in her side. She then floated dow toward them and said with a grin,
"You're so weird!"
Ricgard smiled and touching her hand said,
"You laughed."
Etoile nodded and began to skate across the ice in happiness. She felt free. She felt happy. SHe felt like she could do anything. Twisting and twirling she danced across the icy lake and smiled, speaking to the trio who stared,
"I feel like I can do anything! I never knew I could feel like this!"
Reuben then began to glow and he felt a strange power overcome him. Richard flew over to Etoile and pointed at her daemon whispering,
"This is your true self."
Etoile blinked and saw Reuben in the form of a Shuppet. Not an ice type like he should be. But a form that felt familiar to Etoile and she smiled as she danced with ehr daemon.
The four of them began to dance across the ice. But Reuben stopped and then said something to Etoile,
"I'm leaving."
Etoile stopped and stared at him,
"What do you mean Richard?"
"I'm leaving Etoile! I'm going to become a human and I'm going ot become a Pokemon trainer in the human world! I'm leaving this Faerie business behind and being myself!"
Etoile gasped. She ahd only known the boy a few hours but this was ludicrous! She grabbed him and shook her head violently. Richard then told her that she should too. He could tell she was bored and hated her life here. Her parents didn't care. SHe should do what she wanted. Etoile thought about it and nodded. The two faeries and their daemons glowed and suddenly they grew larger, their wings were absorbed into their bodies and as the glow faded they were human sized. They looked like humans!
Etoile jumped up and down and smiled with glee. Richard smiled adn then stared at his Swablu daemon saying,
"We'll meet again Etoile! Allie and I will become great Pokemon trainers and we'll meet you in battle one day and once we've done that all four of us can return to the FAerie Realm proud of what we've done."
Etoile nodded and smiled, a small tear falling down her face as she waved to her new friend. They had known each other a few hours but they were closer than ever, waving goodbye Etoile clapped her hands around her mouth adn shouted,
"IT'S A PROMISE!"
And now Etoile is on a journey with Reuben to become a great Pokemon TRainer and show the world that she is more than just an heiress.
Career: Trainer
The Daemon
[/u][/size]
Name: Reuben
Form (If settled): Shuppet
Appearance:
The average Shuppet. Sure he's a Faerie's daemon but that doesn't make them anything special. He's got the same navy, dark cloth like body without any limbs or bones. He's like a puppet. He has the ball shaped head with the big, cute eyes and the tiny horn like object that jets out from his scalp - and completed with the fabric like cloak that seems to be wrapped around his body. If you had to say that anything was differnt, it'd be that his eyes are ice blue. And I truly mean ice blue. Like a translucent, pale colour - like they're glowing continously. So if Reuben was different, you'd say his eyes glow like the moon.
Personality:
Unlike Etoile, Reuben never intended to hide his disposition. He was always himself, except from when he needed to be polite for his counterpart's sake. He knows how to be polite, his manners are excellent - but he doesn't use them. He's rude and arrogant, he's rebellious but when it counts his manners are ready and waiting. He sees no point as to why he must always be a goody two shoes as it were. He's only ever polite becuase he doesn't want ot get Etoile into trouble or inconvience her. His whole life revolves around making her happy. He follows her wherever she goes and obeys every command she gives. As a result he's very protective of Etoile. Don't harm her or go near her otherwise you'll get an angry Shuppet daemon in your face. But despite this, Reuben is quite kind and understanding and always ready to lend a helping hand... Most of the time...
