Oh, father dear, we're not the fortunate ones. So Want just wants to have fun. That's all he really wants... Kin are often wont to mistake him for a doe until they look closely enough, and he's happy to perpetuate the illusion, it's all good. There's a dark underbelly to his glittery laissez-faire, a melancholic streak inherited from his father, but he tries, he really tries, and his mother's genes do help. Has inherited the singing voice from both sides.
Sugar sweet - the exact opposite of the mother she looks exactly like. Excitable, exuberant, extreme lover of all things cuddly and cute. Prone to giddy, giggly, crushes and blurted-out confessions. Shakes off heartbreak like a pro, and then the crushing usually mellows into permanent affection.
Has comfortably grown up into candy-making experiments at Rise & Co., as well as proving to be a surprisingly astute businesswoman...
BOOSTER [ 01.06.2015 ]
So named because it boosts her in her work - but its affection didn't come cheap... Having won the loyalty of "THIS VERMIN!!!" (as Rise still puts it with unending horror) through careful bribing with sweetmeats, it now rewards Candid by picking out the finest of her candy experiments - whichever it deigns to devour, of course.

She has always been strange and otherworldly, often climbing to the highest rise to sit there, silent, gazing into the mists as if it were company. Quiet, shrewd, with an elsewhere eye.
Invaluable to the store now that she is grown, of course, but ideally in the back where she doesn't disquieten the customers. Always looks like she knows more than she lets on (like the fact that her weird behaviour freaks her loving dad out a bit and it's sorta hilarious).

Many years ago, I said, when Cue has babs, if one looks right, I will name it Silent Hill. I can't believe the name was still there for her so many years later. ;A;

One side makes you larger, and one side makes you small... Well, he'll take you on a journey, that's for sure.
His pick of poisons is shrooms, 'cos - well, look at him - and he always finds the good stuff, too, as if he were born for it... For a guy who's always high, he's actually surprisingly dependable...but then, that's the first rule, isn't it? Never higher than your clients, or you won't be high for long. Come and hit him up, and he'll hit you with it, satisfaction guaranteed.
So very much like her mother, yet so very much not. Where Tender keeps her child-eyes up, she keeps hers chastely veiled. Her voice is low and soothing, the washing waves of the sea, the sound of gently falling tears. She sings - songs that sound like elegies. She watches the dawnrise with an inscrutable eye - the turquoise tracks of tears long washed down her sides. Perhaps she was always born to mourn; she will not complain.
Clash runs in a boyband with his brothers Idol and Ace - and he's the best boy in this band because he's the one who keeps blowing up over "creative differences" and one day in rehearsal he just lost it and left to embark on a solo career. It's gonna be May. Wait. It's already May. In a few months' time, he returned, an older and wiser buck, for a weepy reunion because he'd learnt on his highly unsuccessful solo attempt that he literally can't do it without them - they're not just a band, they're a band of brothers, and now they're launching their mega-comeback. That's what all the great boybands do, right?

His father is the very model of a noble lord - all fine antlers and flowing fetlocks. Velvet is...well. He's Velvet. So he keeps his head down and smiles, sad but sweetly, always thoughtful, always courteous, always never enough.
He also does his best to protect his beautiful sisters, though Swamp knows why - they hardly need his protection...
An easy smile and a low, sweet voice, but underneath burns the flame. She is smarter than that, but that's how she was born - even if it burns, she'll throw herself at it, again, again, again. But she's smarter than that, so she does her best; she backs away and tries to never see the fire. (Again, again, again.)
Otherwise, she is easy to like; an easy smile and a low, sweet voice.

An absolute dear, an absolute peach; a little bit bruised but still just as sweet.
Not a mean bone in her body - sometimes debatable if she has a single bone in her body - and easily led, but her concept of normal may be as strange as her parents' union.

Ah, Prevail. A hopeless romantic, a gentle soul, addicted to love, and, above all, good. A constant thinker, as arrested by nature's splendour as The Friends' foremost concerns. Composes poetry, cultivates flowers, incessantly moved by does and foals.
Awkward in air, and timid in nature, but the just prevail.

There is an old glory, shimmering sunrays, falling leaves like gold. It is gone now, all gone, like fallen leaves, and he is only a pretender.
Pretender is the sweet, distant sorrow of lingering nobility, caught in the dream of a past that never was, a spectral kingdom of golden leaves. When he closes his eyes, he can still hear them whisper. He speaks and moves with utmost grace, and bleeds melancholy. Directionless, he is rarely inclined to act - but he will act by direction, "As you wish."
...It might go without saying that while this might all sound rather romantic, it's a pain to deal with in real life and he can be very irritating. All that sorrowful sigh, bittersweet pitying smile, "my Lord/Lady" business gets old real fast - especially around his siblings, oh Swamp. And while he mightn't admit it outloud, he's obviously pretty vain - those curls don't keep themselves, y'know. Still, he is rather pretty and extremely well-mannered, so your mileage may vary on whether it balances out a bit.

Thank you SO SO MUCH, CRAW! MOONSTONE! QAQ I LOVE HIM SO MUCH WAAAAAHHHHH

'Tis better reign in Hell than serve in Heaven, but still he mourns for Heaven whence he fell. Full of good intentions.
They say the boy was born with the devil in him, or he might be the devil - but how he tries, it just never goes right. The first was the songbird, the broken body they found him crying over as a foal; he'd only wanted to help. Now grown, closed off, wrapped up, sullen, tortured, he resists helping - helping only harms. Mourningstar is tormented by his destiny. He longs to be good, but what is good. When he closes his eyes, he still sees heaven.
What he doesn't see is the little good that blooms when things go right, the passion and the grace that stirs within him when he's roused to the fight. But he will always be a far, far way from whence he fell.

When I was offered pick and he was there...I knew I shouldn't, but... And he was red, too, just like the namesake (technically a Wildstar plant *cough*) I've been jealously and fearfully guarding for so very long...

A bona fide rara avis, fiercely wild and beautiful. A jeweled flash between the green - a glance like an arrow. She sees right through you - she is gone. Was she ever there?
Perhaps if you speak to her siblings, they will tell you how to find her. Perhaps not, and perhaps she knows better. If her dark eye fixed you through the leaves, you would not know. Perhaps she will not show. Perhaps she will, and she might say, "what do you want," like a statement, not a question.

Drink of her, forget her; she will not forget you.
She moves like ripples, she is a river. Blood stains her waters; this too shall pass. She flows by many, she murmurs cold comfort: drink of her, forget her, wake up to a new life. She will not forget.
