1.) This is a Herd Helper for the Baandari Traders so this Soquili must remain a part of it! Please do not have plots that part this Soquili from the siblings.
Ja'zah-ra will be sad to lose one of his beloved family after so great a journey.

2.) This will be a judged personality contest! I want to see how this Soquili would go about making the best possible coin and living the best possible life!

3.) No evil personalities! Evil isn't tolerated by any of the Traders. We don't want to see this Soquili becoming a Cast-Cat!

4.) I won't put a hard limit on the personalities but please no massive page stretching word walls from hell. xD

5.) Above all have fun with this and please don't bully anyone out of entering or have a bad attitude should you not be the winner.

6.) Editing is fine up until the ending point! Any editing done after the cutoff time will be disqualified.

This family has recently come to these lands, escaping the horrid Knahaten Flu that decimated their family and friends. They are technically orphans as they lost their mother to the sickness and their father stayed behind to fight the opportunistic scavengers that always follow on the end of such a plague.

Symptoms of the Knahaten Flu: (This is a prominent part of their lives as they lost their mother to it!)

show spoilerhide spoiler

Early symptoms of the Flu include "general malaise, loss of appetite, and fatigue," followed shortly by aching muscles, sharp pain in the shoulders, chills, and watering eyes. Late-stage symptoms include wracking cough, high fever, and blood flowing out of the nose, eyes and eventually the mouth. The most prominent sign of the disease was a red, granular rash, which did not itch but spread all over the body. Death usually occurred within three painful days of infection, but some victims were able to survive for up to a week.

One last little tidbit. The herd is more of an ideal than a real thing. The Baandari Traders often go their own ways to ply their wares and come back at the end of every few months to compile the riches and restock.

Pony Name: Ja’shanji-da
Personality: Ja’shanji-da is as his flowers are. He is equal parts resilient yet flexible, entrancing yet subtle, timeless yet fleeting. He understands and acknowledges the ways of nature, having studied his craft thoroughly, and presumes to learn all that he can from it.

The more soft-spoken of his siblings, he does not fight and he does not quarrel. He instead leans to his craft to prevent from being caught up in such troubles. That’s not to say he is a coward. Far from it. This one has simply learned that life is too short to be spent in discord and disharmony. A lesson taught to him when he was younger, before he learned to ply his trade as a florist.

During his youth, Ja’shanji-da would have been considered brazen and fool-hardy. He knew- or so he believed- what was right and correct. He acted with little to no regard for the consequences. His strategic mind keen yet immature. Luck kept him abreast of any dire straits; however, it was but a matter of time. Soon enough, this one entered a scruple he discovered himself to be outmatched in. He came away badly injured, nearly lifeless. If not for his siblings, the tale of Ja’shanji-da may well have ended there.

He would recover in due time, fortunately, although he would always bear a reminder of his misguided bravado. Something else would also change- something within him. No longer was he the brash fool who considered himself unerring. Ja’shanji-da transformed into what is seen today. Weak by no means but pacifistic nonetheless. He would prefer to speak on equal terms in hopes of finding a resolution through words instead of force. As such, it is rare to see him angered or bothered. For this one to reach the point of rage takes a great deal, with few exceptions- mainly his family and his plants.

Ja’shanji-da looks to his flowers for peace of mind. They are what soothed his soul during his recovery those many moons ago. They were likewise the reason he retained his sanity as he watched his mother waste away due to that accursed Knahaten Flu. While he leaned on his surviving family for support and love, it was nature that showed him what it truly meant to be strong and supple. He realized how truly marvelous plants were, capable of surviving even in the harshest conditions while also spreading enjoyment and a sense of serenity. This one delved into the craft of florist with gusto thereafter.

His is more than a trade to ply. It is an expression of himself. A way to show others the beauty of nature while opening an avenue for discussion and comradery. Making coin is the added benefit. After all, this one is still Khajiit proud and true. Ja’shanji-da always treats his trades as he does his flowers- with time and care. Each individual who approaches him in trade is unique. The cultivation of the relationship must be done carefully. It requires effort, as all things worth receiving, and is to be nurtured and cherished.

This is the creed he now strives to uphold: Honor and embrace family. Protect those this one loves. Endeavor for peace instead of bloodshed, but do not mistake cowardice for pacifism. Remember that strife and peril are never far away and can strike at any moment. Do not let fear of death prevent from seeing the beauty in life. Make coin...lots of coin.

Username: Melomar

Pony Name: Dro'hrri-ko
(wise, mage/healer/scholar)

Personality: Historically, this effeminate male has been a mischievous, acrobatic scamp. A little on the small side and always underweight, he could "soar" when he jumped or was thrown. Speaking of which, he picked fights with larger scamps and came home with plenty of cuts and bruises. He heartily complained about them but his mother could always tell that he was proud of them. He always had a good story to tell about them, too. How his plants had been trampled and he shoved something nasty into the bully's mouth. How he stuck up for his pacifistic friend who was always hazed but never complained. How he kissed a pretty girl's cheek when he thought her father wasn't looking (but oh, did he have a terrible crush on her!).

His passion for life withered away, however, as his vibrant, strong mother succumbed to the flu. He and his siblings were unable to improve her condition enough to save her and the sands took her too soon. Currently, he is grieving. He is confused and angry. His personality may very well change permanently, too, as his mother was such an important person in his, and in all of their lives.

But coin is another important part of their lives and he needs to start caring about that again. He tries to continue his craft but can only go so far in his current condition. Plants won't grow if one's tears get in the way allowing one to mangle the stem. They won't thrive if the drive to preserve them is gone and one neglects to water them. So on their journey toward the Soquili lands, he has decided to find an alternate path to the siblings' common goal: to study at an adeptorium. There he will learn the art of lyrical meditation and put his negative energies to good use in the claw-dance, or to banish them completely with careful breathing and singing. He does not know how long he will be there, but he will come back to his family, in time.

At the adeptorium he will learn that speech and music help plants to flourish. So while he tempers his spirit and calms his soul, he will also hone his craft as a florist in ways he would not have expected. He hopes that along the way he will earn some coin to show to his brothers and sister for his great efforts.

Pony Name: Qa'sha-dar
Personality:Qa'sha-dar is very wise. He had from a young age learned about plants and flowers for medicine. He worries about his brothers and family ever since he lost his mother to Knahaten Flu. He misses his father greatly but trusts his brothers beyond reason. He is very loyal and will do anything for them. He hopes to work with Ja'zah-ra to find a way to cure the Knahaten Flu. He is seen mostly talking with Ja'zah-ra whom he very loyal too regardless of Ja'zah-ra's Stern and demanding ways.

Qa'sha-dar searching these new lands trying to grow flowers, herbs and plants for Ja'zah-ra bring him rare flowers and plants. However he secretly sells his own type of lilly that he created by finding a rare desert lotus and a rare winter growing Lilly.

He also travels from herd to herd trading herbs, flowers and plants. He also listens to others when it comes to rumors about rare plants.  

[Artymus]

Username: Artymus

Pony Name: Qa'zahr-da

Personality: Qa'zahr-da can be a silly male, often to attract customers and charm them into buying his flowers. He was a silly child as well, often to make their mother laugh and smile. After her death, he knew she wouldn't want him to lose his "shine", and he makes an effort every day to continue to make others smile and laugh. He wants to bring that same "shine" to as many others as he can, and spread goodness, as well as his flowers (and make a few coins, while he's at it).

Qa'zahr-da has taken to finding and following troupes of entertainers, as they draw crowds, and who better to sell his flowers to? Sometimes he'll make a deal with them in exchange for using some of his flowers in shows, or to decorate, but he somehow always comes out ahead. His silliness also proves useful in these situations, allowing others to let their guard down around him. This in turn allows him to gather useful information on the whereabouts of other troupes, or even things like faires and celebrations. If the event is large enough, he sends word to his brothers so they, too, can ply their trade and make their own coin.

But, the road can be long and lonely, and Qa'zahr-da often finds himself longing for a partner to share his travels with. Perhaps one day, he'll put down roots, maybe open a little shop of his own instead of traveling to sell his flowers. He daydreams of a large garden that he tends, side-by-side with someone who laughs at his silly jokes. But, for now, the road is long and the world awaits! Who knows who he'll meet out there?

Pony Name: K'ajhya-qa (Kaw-Ja-Hyuh) -Identifies Female

Personality:

K'ajhya-qa is a gentle creature with a deep love for nature in all forms.
She is faithful to her family, and is one who would give anything to make sure they were safe and cared for.
Among her brethren she is very loving, and enjoys being helpful - around new people she can be a little on the quieter side, however once someone inquires about her craft there is a fire that lights in her eyes and she tends to become very passionate.
Her plants are everything to her, and she takes it very seriously - even going as far as risking her health to assist others in trying to make new assortments of curatives and mixtures.
She's very orderly, knows where everything is within her pouches, even taking to looping each particular pouch differently and knowing the knots even without sight, which can be remarkably helpful in the dark.
She is not pushy on her customers when it comes to price, taking only ever what is absolutely necessary, but knowing certainly that her family must make profit as well.
She loves traveling, particularly to new regions where she might procure new plants for her healing.

Pony Name: Zan'had Khargandihr

Personality: A little bit of a lost spirit, Zan'had always has his head up in the clouds. He attention is far from focused, and he can often times be described as having his head in the clouds. But, they're never really in the clouds. The flowers is where his thoughts always flit to.While his other siblings work the trade route in such a way as to have complete dedication to their task, Zan'had tends to forget what is going on and that he also needs to be working.

But once he gets his mind out of the petals and is in the game, he is a master sales Khajiit. He is able to smooth talk his way into people buying flowers and decorative wreaths and the like. As well as suggest his siblings trades for them to buy as well. He is willing to use whatever method he can to achieve his goal of keeping the gold flowing within their small herd.

Zan'had is a very sweet and kind stallion, all things considered. While he is willing to get his claws dirty for the sake of his wares, he can't see himself going out of his way to harm others; including defending himself. While he will use his quick witted tongue to help keep others honor safe, he won't enter in anything physical. He finds beauty in all things. Including anger. Emotions inspire him. And doing anything that would cost someone the beauty of their life is not on his list of things to do.
