"Oh, Uncle Fakir! I can't wait for the story about the furry fish who lived in the swamp!"
Okay, I just came up with an absolutely insane idea.
I was chit-chatting with Manda about the kids she made up for Fakir and Ahiru earlier, and then I thought "Hey, I should try to make up one for Pique and Autor!"
So I started screwing around with the Tek Tek gaia avatar generator to get ideas...and came up with this.
So I, uh, stared at her expression and burst out laughing, then added more and more crazy accessories.
And then I decided she must be a Cloudcuckoolander. (Think Luna Lovegood, Osaka, or Dory from Finding Nemo.)
Her name is Cornelia, and she loves stuffed animals. She names them a bunch of odd names, although occasionally they're names from fairytales (or Drosselmeyer's stories). She absolutely adores her "Uncle" Fakir and thinks his stories are absolutely amazing, so she always wants to hang around when he's writing, occasionally asking odd questions about characters she thinks are in the stories. ("Does the turtle ever find his taffy?") Fakir, on the other hand, sees her as a bother at best and rather disturbing at her worst, so he constantly tries to avoid her, particularly while writing -- lest his stories be filled with Nightmare Fuel. (When you're a story spinner, you do NOT want any Nightmare Fuel in your stories.)
Part of me thinks that her random non-sequetors might be because she's got some remnant of the Story-Spinning powers from a veeeeeery distant ancestor, so she sees bits and pieces of stories by Story-Spinners in her (day?)dreams and tries to sew them together to make a logical story. ...Or she could just be a space cadet.
...This is an absolutely insane idea. I should never mix Kaleido Star, Chrono Crusade, Ouran High School Host Club, Death Note and A Place Promised In Our Earlier Days together in one day of manga/anime viewing and then try to come up with a character at 2am.
In other news, I tried to make that icon post yesterday and my computer, well, overheated right before I was going to post it and I lost all my work. So I'm going to do it...later, when I can find the time. Or maybe split it into chunks for ease...
