I absolutely fell in love with Seafoam Swirl! <33 I really hope I'll be able to win, because I really do love her design sm!! Here goes nothing! :o ~Bio~ Name: Sasaki Umi Age: 17 Gender/Pronouns: She, her Personality: A little bit thick headed at times, sweet, a bit demanding, introverted around new people. Race: Japanese wolfskin Likes: The ocean, water, lil baby pups, takoyaki Dislikes: Dark meat, dry places, mean people, disheveled fur Family: Sasaki Mako and Karin. Two younger twins (Gakuto [m] and Minami [f]) Friends: Omu (European wolfskin [m]), Nishio Chisaki (Japanese wolfskin [m]) Backstory: My favorite story as a child was one my father and mother would tell me of the first day I met my two younger siblings, Gakuto and Minami. Apparently 4 year old me was so excited I started to howl. I'd been so excited that I wouldn't even change into my secondary form (my human one). I've always loved pups and wanted a mate so badly, ever since I was tiny. That's why I was so extremely excited about my younger siblings. Finally, after about fifteen minutes of my father trying to calm me down we finally got to see my mother, in the hospital, with two baby wolfskins... both so adorable I could hardly stand it! They looked similar to my mother, with gold flecked fur in their wolf form, and light brown hair in their human. Unlike me and my father, who are both wolfskins with curly fur/hair and colors similar to that of the sea. I've always prided myself for my curly fur and tried to keep it clean, especially around my best friend, Omu and my *ahem* other friend that I totally do not have a crush on, Nishio Chisaki. Omu is a werewolf that hails from Europe, though his pack traveled to Japan after losing their territory to another pack. Nishio has always lived in Japan, in the same pack as me. Omu is older than Nishio and I, Omu being 21, and Nishio being 18. Omu already has a mate, but Nishio and I don't, since we only just came of age. Thus my little problem... I have /no idea/ if Nishio has his sights set on another wolfskin or if he likes me back. I want to ask, but I'm loathe to ruining our friendship. "Umi? Uuummiii!?!" A voice calls, ripping me out of my thoughts. I turn quickly and see that its Gakuto. "Hmmm?" I reply, standing up and walking towards him as he calls from the door to our house. "Omu's here! He wants to talk to you about somethin'!" Minami hops over behind him, "yup, yup, yup! He looks real excited too!" The two little wolfskins giggle mischieviously, their fluffy golden tails waving and their ears twitching with excitement. I hurry into the main room of our house, realizing all too quickly that Nishio is with Omu. "Oh! H-hi!" I bow quickly, hoping to shield the fact my face is a bit pink. Nishio is grinning once I come back up from my bow, "told ya she'd be embarrassed." Omu smiles softly, a chuckle passing through his lips, "don't be embarrassed Umi. We're all friends here, I don't bite." "Technically, you do. But lets not get into that, just tell her the news!!" Nishio looks excited, and his caramel colored tail is swishing. I gulp, "umm, what news?" I force myself not to notice how cute Nishio gets when he's excited. Ears all fluffy and swiveled forward, tail flying, bright blue eyes sparkling, the works. Omu shakes his head and smiles fondly, "alright, guess I have no choice. I'm going to be a father!" My jaw drops and without thinking I switch into my wolf form and jump around, yipping happily, so extremely excited I can barely keep from barreling them both over. *a few hours later* "What do you think he'll name 'em?" Nishio asks, throwing rocks into the beach by my house. Omu left a while ago, but Nishio stuck around, said he didn't have anything to do and wanted to 'hang out'. (Which I totally wasn't hoping he'd do.) "Maybe he'll name them something European..." I muse, watching as the rock he just threw skips a few times over the water. "Or maybe he'll name them after /me/." He states, a playful grin on his face. "Hopefully not, I doubt he wants to name his child 'Chisaki'." "I'm just gonna ask this, kinda randomly... what do you think of my surname?" He doesn't look at me, just keeps skipping rocks. "Nishio? Hmm... its a nice surname, I always liked it. It has a nice ring to it. Why do you ask?" He coughs a tiny little cough, "how would you like to have it too?" I snort, "you mean legally change my surname to Nishio, just for fun?" Nishio groans, "nooo-- not like /that/! I meant... you know... like taking it... or something..." He stops throwing rocks and looks down, for the first time in a while his face is really really red. (cont.)
(cont.) It dawns on me what he actually meant and I almost fall over into the water, "like /mAtEs/?! /That's/ what you meant? Augh-- why didn't you just say that then? Now I feel stupid!!" I hide my face in my hands, blushing fiercely. "Of course that's what I meant!! Ugh, you really think I was suggesting you legally change your surname just because? Wow, you are more thick-headed than I thought." Nishio shakes his head, "sooo... what do you say?" I draw a circle in the sand with my finger slowly, "we-e-e-ell.. I guess it wouldn't be so bad..." Nishio groans and falls backward into the sand, "for Inari's sake would you /please/ just give me a straight answer!? You know how long it took me to actually work up the courage to ask??" My face cracks into a smile, "yes. My answer is /yes/. Though I think, just to spite you, I'm going to keep my maiden name." Nishio groans, "are you serious? You're going to regret saying that later." "How so?" I ask, my dark teal ears perked up. He grins evilly, "you'll figure it out!" I give him a look, "c'mon, just tell me!" Nishio starts to run away, "neverrrr!!" I start to run after him, not even noticing the fact both of my twin siblings had been watching. Minami gives Gakuto a high five, "I knew having Omu tell them about his baby was the right choice." Minami stated with a wry little grin. Gakuto snickered, "yee-up!"
