TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Hearing Rosemont's congratulations, she looked over at him smiling a bit brighter. It meant a lot to her that he appreciated her help too. She had tried her hardest to be as helpful and efficient in the clan as she could whether it be healing members or doing simple tasks. The fact she was recognized for this was just icing on the cake for her. The satisfaction she received from successfully helping others was the cake itself.

"You too, Rosemont," Ella said in a quiet, cheerful tone. She was quite excited that he was rising in the ranks as well. He had done a great favor for her by helping her pack her stuff before. He also had been trying his best at welcoming others and helping around the clan too. He even was there for her when she was close to dying. He had done quite a bit to benefit the clan, and she kind of saw the promotion coming.

Smiling brightly, the feline looked back at the others noticing Ada joining the ranks as well. She seemed a little irritated so she had decided not to bother her at the moment.

//I'm not fangirling and waiting for another glare from Ada at Rosemont, you are.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — If she was correct, this was the fourth time someone had gotten protective over her somehow. Kady was the first when she put her tail around her to help protect her. Then there was Sundance who talked about her injuries in front of a joiner. After that was Osiris who stood beside her in the same manner as the male did. Now here was Rosemont. She could kind of understand his protectiveness due to him being there to see her injuries firsthand. He and some others had found her bleeding out, and after that she never spoke of what happened. Not even when Sundance heard her scream from her nightmare.

To be honest, he and Ada were the only ones she was actually close to in the clan. Ada was this protective, broken girl who was the only one who knew of her past. Then you had Rosemont who was a serious goofball despite his tough appearance. Both he and Ada managed to get past one layer of her nearly invincible walls. Now that they had though she found it impossible to simply become distant.

The feline snapped out of these thoughts quickly as he spoke, and looked at Aleksei for a moment. Though she had be perplexed by his orders she didn't say anything. She figured it was his business and he would handle it accordingly. Besides, judging from his character he probably had a good reason for it too.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Honestly, she probably should have been in the medic den at that moment. She should have been resting so her body could heal a little faster. Being the person she was though she wouldn't be. No, she finally was strong enough to get around camp a bit. With that strength she was going to continue working on her past weekly task, a clan garden.

Ella smiled faintly as she went onto the initial path in the garden. This one path way broke off in various places leading to good resting spots, a pond, and various other things. It was quite amazing how she managed to piece most of it together. Even though it hadn't been tended too for a bit she was going to work on it. She was determined to finish her project. So, she started getting to work.

Going into a deeper part of the garden, the feline noticed the various pots set in their places. Some were starting to wilt, but she didn't worry to much. It wasn't like she couldn't revive them honestly. She made her way over to one patch assessing the plants a bit. Once finished with that she began tending to them and healing them using her small power. Though some people though of it as weak, she considered it to be a great skill. To be able to create medical herbs on the spot was quite handy, especially for emergencies. She didn't mind people's comments because of that reason. Her power was useful. It just wasn't useful in the way most people's powers were.

She hummed softly as she continued working on the flower bed keeping a steady pace. She didn't want to open up her wounds. So, she kept a slow pace careful not to push herself too hard. Little did she know though today she would have an internal panic attack.

// Kady Keyper There ya go! This was a terrible intro, but oh well

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Well, looks like she was at it again. She was traveling the territory with another NPC to gather herbs for the medic den and for tea. She even had her woven vine basket in her jaws as she walked through the main island. At least, until she caught an unfamiliar scent.

Soon searching for the source, the NPC sighed knowing they couldn't stop her. Some of them had tried, but they all failed. People didn't realize it, but she could be quite stubborn. It probably came with her need to help others and be active within the clan. Since her promotion to paladin she had taken her rank seriously. She wanted to live up to Aleksei's expectation not because she wanted to rise in rank, but because of a sense of duty. As a paladin she had quite a bit to do.

Noticing the clouded leopard in the distance, she went over to him keeping a respectful distance. "Hello, can I have a name and your business here?" Ella asked after setting down her basket of herbs. She smiled gently at him as she straightened herself back up waiting patiently for his response. Hopefully he wouldn't try attacking her or the NPC nearby. That would cause quite a problem.

//I'm the first wohoo!

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Now she wasn't sure how to feel about this stranger. Did he just say he had lived on a different planet? The only one she had known to have life was Earth. Then he asked if they were a country or province. She didn't even know what those two words really meant.

"This is BlizzardClan, one of the many clans and groups in the area," Ella explained as she tried not to look at him like he was an alien. Honestly though, she wasn't quite sure if he was. It was either that or he was mentally insane. Personally, she was hoping he was just some odd alien.

"My name is Ella by the way. If you want, you can join us until we find out how you got here." she said formally introducing herself to the other. Her offer though was sincere, and she really hoped she wasn't making a mistake. They didn't need any other mentally insane people coming after the clan. Tavi was enough.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Ella gave a small nod as she listened to both the first and second half of what he said. She was a little surprised he hadn't heard of the other groups and clans. They were quite large and had so many people who probably could be wandering the loner lands. She knew Tavi could possibly be wandering the loner lands gathering her forces. That thought scared her more then anything really. Her getting a group together to go against BlizzardClan wasn't a pleasant thought at all.

"Not all of them are considered clans. For example, the Shadow Veil is an ally of ours but isn't a clan. They are more of a large group that have the workings of one," Ella explained deciding to give an example. She knew examples could be the key to getting through to most people. Ever since she joined the clan she had picked up on certain things. No surprise as she was quite observant most of the time. She had to be in her past.

It was funny how little people knew about her. Most of her clan never bothered to figure out her past. Figure out what made her so shy and polite. Figure out who she truly is hidden behind her outer personality. No one really thought on how she wanted to help people so badly. They didn't look any deeper, but if they did they probably wouldn't have liked what they saw. Didn't matter now though as she was still trying to hide her emptiness and self-hatred.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Ella smiled softly as he said he would join. Even though his words didn't make sense, she figured since he knew what he was talking about it may be the truth. Maybe. Some people were questionable nowadays.

"I see. Well, either way would you like me to show you our camp?" the flower crowned feline offered. So, another universe? Did he mean an alternate one? She had heard about those, but it was hard to wrap her head around the fact he was probably an alien. She most likely wouldn't tell the rest of her clan this information yet. If he wanted to tell them it was fine, but she was going to keep quiet. She wasn't sure how the others would react to such things. They probably would think he was insane.

Nonetheless, she simply waited patiently for his answer.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Ella couldn't help but laugh a little at the fact he thought they were armies. BlizzardClan was nothing close to an army. They were more like a family with very interesting members.

"I know BlizzardClan isn't an army. Though we have strong members we are a neutral clan," she explained smiling softly in a bit of amusement. The fact he thought they were completely built for violence was interesting. Then again, he probably was trying to make sense of what they did. "In BlizzardClan we are more of a tight family. We do have rules though so far most have followed them," she continued though seemed to go lost in thought for a moment. She mainly was referring to Tavi when she spoke of the few that didn't. She got back to reality though quickly and smiled gently. "We also have some politics within the many groups. We do have enemies who we are careful about, and allies who we help in times of need. As I said before though, we are more neutral unlike some of the others. We mainly keep to ourselves unless our allies need something important, or if we are threatened or attacked," she continued.

"It can be quite confusing, but if you have any questions about clan life and rules just let me know. I'm usually in the medic den, here in the garden, or on the main island gathering herbs," Ella offered being sincere with her words. She always tried her best to help others when they needed it. She figured she could also give him some general locations of where she would be in case he needed something. Better then scrambling around places she wouldn't be right?

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — For once the feline was actually in camp. Most of the time she was in the territory going to greet newcomers and gather some herbs. Today though she decided to relax. Being she was alone in the medic den for the day, the flower loving female had decided to whip up some tea. She even invited one of her closest friends, Ada, to join her for a small chat. Though they hadn't talked much since she joined, she still considered her close. She was the only one who knew about her past and how terrible her family was. She also had been there when she had been attacked. She made sure that the injured feline had stayed awake by asking her random questions. It was nice to have someone care for her as much as the young feline did.

Ella looked at the two teapots that were current brewing some tea. In one she had mint black tea brewing. In the other was some raspberry herbal tea. Nearby she had already place some honey and sugar to help both with their flavors. Though raspberry tea was more fruity, the taste was actually lighter then most. Didn't help that the feline didn't like having tea practically taste like heated juice. Her goal was to make the taste refreshing instead of overwhelming. The art of tea she had practiced for years due to how much her mother had liked it, and the properties it had in healing.

Once the two brews were complete she set them down near a couple of moss beds. She had made them herself so both she and the young apprentice could lay comfortably. Didn't want to be uncomfortable while talking right?

Laying down on one of them, she rested her head on her paws. Honestly, she still had quite a bit on her mind. How her family was doing, the nightmares that plagued her, her recent realization of how protective everyone is of her, and so much more. Things were beginning to pile up in her mind. She hoped that maybe talking to Ada would help ease some of them. She was sure the other feline also had things on her mind. After all, she had informed her of some of the things that happened before she rejoined BlizzardClan.

As she thought of some of these things she laid there waiting patiently for the other female to join her.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Ella glanced over at the other feline as she spoke. She didn't give her a hostile look though. No, she was right that not a lot of it made sense. A couple things matched up, but some of the other things didn't fit. She didn't question it much though since she had a job to do unlike Ryouto.

"Until he can possibly find your way home though you are welcome here. If you need me to I can help you understand some of our customs and rules, Ella offered smiling softly at him as she slowly stood up. Once she was fully standing she motioned for both of them to follow her. "And I'll be honest Ryouto, you shouldn't be out of camp by yourself," she told the other softly as she walked past her. It was true, with Tavi still on the loose she shouldn't. Even if she knew how to use her weapon it would be pointless. Tavi had powers that could make that weapon break. She could break every bone in her body if she wanted too. So, she would rather not have what happened to her happen to someone else.

Soon enough she continued walking at a slower pace towards camp.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — //I had to make a comment on the fact he said 'color stick things'. I'm weak

Well, she hadn't really considered herself popular really. If she was told she was should would deny it. She would tell him it probably was just her being around the clan all the time. It seemed as though she was around every time something was going on. Didn't help that she had pretty much made it her mission to try and be active in the clan. This was especially true since her promotion to paladin.

"Those are crayons," Ella explained with a soft smile as she made her way over. It was true though that people respected her. Why she had no clue. It could be because she showed the upmost respect for pretty much everyone. Whether they be a stranger or not she remained polite. it was just how she was raised though. Be polite or simply suffer the consequences.

Not soon after she got a piece of paper and some water color paint. Though others grabbed thicker paint, she always preferred water colors. The way they blended together so easily fascinated her. She also considered them much easier to use on paper despite it being water.

"So, how are you both today?" Ella asked decided to start up some small talk while she put some water onto the dried up paints. The flower crowned feline watched as the colors soon began to become more vibrant again even making swirls in some places. Once they soaked up a bit she dabbed one paw pad in it gently. Sure, some preferred to use brushes but she found it a little more difficult due to not having thumbs. So, she found a different way to create her art.

Soon enough the feline got to work creating a base of a tree with a lighter brown first. Once she got the base done she would then add some darker hues of brown to make it more realistic.

//Wow, hello muse

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Ella smiled faintly as she noticed the feline walk in. Honestly, she had looked a little worn out mentally herself. She had been so stressed out about things recently that it sometimes drained her. Not that she ever showed it like the young apprentice had. No, she remained as active as possible even if it meant pushing herself.

"Hello Ada, nice to see you," she responded smiling softly at the other. She watched as Ada pretty much plopped onto the moss bed she had made for her to lay in. Seemed as though she really was as tired as she had seemed. She didn't judge though as she probably had a bit on her mind since she rejoined. After what she heard she probably had a lot to think about due to family too.

"I've been doing well. My injuries are healing properly, and I've tried my best to help around the clan," Ella informed her as she poured out some mint black tea for herself. It was kind of nice just chatting like this with just them. It had been a while since she had some tea while talking to someone.

"Thank you by the way. How have you been fairing?" the flower crowned feline asked curiously. Sure, she hadn't told her the whole truth about her miserable mind. Then again, who would want to hear about that? She suspected no one would. So, instead she would simply listen to see if Ada needed to vent possibly.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — One would think that someone like her would flinch at his words. Instead she looked at him kind of indifferent. She wasn't scared, she wasn't angry, she just sat there taking it. In a way she almost felt like she deserved it. She had overstepped his boundaries, and that was something she always tried to avoid. So, with her already terrible self-esteem and self-image she felt she deserved to get yelled at.

The flower crowned feline took note on his need to change the subject at his next words. She visibly tensed up though at his question. She wasn't sure at first if she should tell him about Tavi. Though he seemed tough there was still a possibility he would leave because of the Tavi threat. She didn't want him to feel afraid even if he wouldn't likely show it. She didn't want to ruin his view of BlizzardClan either

"An exiled member attacked me at the border," Ella said glancing at the bandages on her torso and putting a paw on her neck. She figured he would figure it out eventually so why not be honest. A small frown though was present on her face as she remembered the nightmares and the attack itself. She had been too weak to take on Tavi. She let her feelings get in the way of her own safety. A mistake she wouldn't make again.

She let out a soft sigh as she moved her paw back down to the ground. "Its healing well so I can't really complain to much i guess," she added smiling softly though in a more somber manner. She really wished she hadn't failed the catsune. Then her and Irene would have been fine.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Ella snapped out of her thoughts as she heard him speak. She smiled softly at him as he apologized for his question. Honestly, it wasn't bad to ask such a thing. If she was him she probably would have asked the same thing. After all, if the roles were reversed she would like to know so she could help. Helping people was pretty much her purpose in life. At least, to her it was.

"You're fine, I would recommend leaving camp with someone if at all," The flower crowned feline warned him though kept her smile. She didn't want to scare him too much. She just wanted him to be slightly aware of what was going on.

Her ears perked up a bit when he asked about giving her some sweets. She couldn't deny that she had a soft spot for such things. Pastries and cakes were her favorite kind of sweets though. So, when he offered her smile got a little brighter.

"Sounds great. Would you like some tea to go along with it? I'm sure I can make some," Ella offered figuring she could at least give him something. Besides, sweets and tea naturally went together in her mind. They complimented each other quite well depending on the tea.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Ella gave a small nod and smiled softly as he agreed. She knew though she couldn't go to her cottage due to the fact Tavi was around. It was closer to the border and much more dangerous.

"Sounds like a plan. I guess we could meet at yours since mine is a bit far," the flower crowned feline said before she slowly got up from her sitting position. She really hoped that this could work. After all, this was supposed to be something fun for the clan to enjoy.

//We can just PM if you don't mind and then do the thread once we decide on something

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — The feline had left the feud between the two leaders quite a while ago. Actually, she was nearly to camp when she heard the screaming. The terror that rung through it almost terrified her too. She didn't recognize who was screaming from the distance. All she knew was that she had to help.

Heading as fast as she could despite her injuries, Ella soon came upon the screaming Ladon. She recognized him from the couple of interactions they had. What was going on though she couldn't quite understand. He seemed to be prettified due to fear. What she couldn't figure out was of what. Then she realized why the terrible screaming made her panic so much.

She had been the same way after her nightmare.

Slowly making her way over to the wolf, the flower crowned feline smiled gently at him hoping to calm him down. "Ladon. Ladon, I'm here," Ella said gently as she continued moving closer. She was careful though as she had already felt a small part of her neck wound start bleeding a little. If she wasn't careful then every wound would open and she would be a bleeding mess. Something that he didn't need right now. She also kept her voice gentle and calm hoping it would help him calm down as well.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — The feline nearly stopped in her tracks when she heard his question. Since he was new he probably didn't quite know about the situation with Tavi. She also didn't want to scare him off by telling him what was going on. Then again, after all the murders and attacks she figured he may already know.

"I was attacked by an exile member," Ella said with a small frown present on her face. She continued walking towards the top right part of the camp where the unfinished clan garden was. She didn't say a single word after that one sentence. Instead she focused on the task at hand. She wasn't going to let something like this cause a panic attack or something.

So, she kept walking for a short bit until they reached the entrance to the clan garden. The front was gorgeous so far with an arch covered in vines, flowers on either side of the starting path, and a tree visible ahead. Since she had been helping it grow it was now maturing at a faster rate. It was still quite young, but it wasn't really in sapling form anymore. It was a start considering she had quite a few plans for this spot.

Glancing over her shoulder a bit, she soon began walking under the arch and into the garden.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ —//Ella is officially the female version of Voldemort lol

Well, luck really didn't like Artemis that day.

Hearing a faint sound of someone in pain, the feline's ears perked up. Luckily for whoever it was she was collecting herbs and medical supplies on the main island. Her wounds were healing more and more every day, but she still kept on the bandages just in case. They weren't fully healed and she wasn't going to risk infection. That would just lengthen her recovery time.

Picking up her woven vine basket carefully, the flower crowned feline began to search for the source. Honestly, she had an idea of who it could be. She wasn't positive, but it could have been Artemis. She hadn't heard his yelp before, but there were twinges of the familiar sounding voice there. She had noticed though that the larger fox had been avoiding her like the plague.

Ever since she first met him he had kept his distance. Why she wasn't sure since all she did was heal his bee stings. Otherwise she couldn't think of anything. Did she say something to offend him perhaps? She wasn't sure, but after keeping her distance for a while she was determined to find out. Not because she was curious, but because she didn't want to annoy or hurt him again.

Soon enough she caught sight of him in the distance. Judging from the slight blood and sharp object impaled in his side, he was likely the source. Guess she was right after all. Hesitating for just a moment, she wondered if she should approach him. Maybe she should just leave him alone? Then again, there was that thorn looking object in his side.

Ignoring the anxiety, Ella cautiously approached the male. She didn't want to startle him after all. "Do you need help getting that out of your side?" she asked though there was a twinge of anxiety lacing her words. Mentally she cursed at herself for revealing her hidden emotion. Despite the tone though she tried to smile gently to hide it. After all, who wants a nervous paladin to treat a wound?

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Ella listened as he spoke of the 'family' concept she mentioned earlier. It was true, they were like family though some members just needed to be disowned. Tavi had it coming considering how she treated the people of BlizzardClan.

"She had caused some problems within the clan itself. It just couldn't be ignored," the feline started explaining some of the reasons for her exile. She didn't really go into detail though of how she hated everyone. How power hungry she was. No, she didn't mention any of that. "I can't complain as I brought it upon myself. I tried to help her, but to no avail," she continued finally looking over at Mo. Guilt and sadness filled her green hues as she looked at him. Despite the cheerful facade she had, sometimes her emotions would slip through. She showed who she really was occasionally. A broken, miserable girl with no self-esteem and no sense of self-worth.

"I failed to help her, and didn't really fight back. I deserved these wounds," Ella finished letting her true thoughts show. This entire time she felt like she had failed. She felt like she deserved the wounds she got because of her ignorance. Even now though she still remained the same. Just because she failed one person didn't mean she couldn't help another.

The sadness and shame showed clearly through her body language and words. Even with the small, sad smile on her face she couldn't hide her emotions any longer. Someone was bound to find out. She would probably curse at herself later for it being a new member she barely knew.
