How Well Did You Do?: 1-2: You....tried. You couldn't find anything more than a few feathers, but you gave it your best shot
(Optional)RP or Art Entry: Life in full Color was known far and wide not only for his beauty but for his enormous heart. He treated every creature, from the little mouse to the biggest bear, with equal kindness and respect.
As the marked time comes near, the valley buzzed with excitement for the annual Cosplay Contest, an event where kin and familiars of all kinds donned their most creative outfits to celebrate. This year, his theme was “Creatures of the Night - the Owl”. “I want to be the best owl ever!” he declared to his friends one breezy afternoon. His enthusiasm was contagious.
The days that followed were filled with giggles and spirited brainstorming sessions. At night he wandered around the woods, hoping to get a good look at owls for inspiration.
Life set off to gather materials. Then as he rummaged through the forest, he quickly realized that finding the right costume pieces was harder than he thought. He managed to collect a few feathers that had fallen from some owl's wings, a shiny set of leaves that shimmered like the moonlight, and a couple of pieces of fabric gifted by chirping birds. However, after hours of searching and experimenting, he had little more than a messy bag of mismatched items.
He gathered his items and set to work. Life carefully attached the few feathers he had to the back of his own coat to create wings. He used the shiny leaves to create a necklace that would drape around his neck, catching the light beautifully. With the help of his friends, he painted his face in soft earth tones, emphasizing his expressive eyes to mirror the wisdom he so admired.
The time of the Cosplay Contest arrived, and all across the glade, kin and familiars gathered in their most dazzling attire. There were ducks dressed as fireflies and wolfes adorned in glowing lanterns.
When it was Life’s turn to present, he stepped forward with a heart full of hope and his head held high. The audience was quiet, their eyes fixed on the buck who had chosen to celebrate an owl.
With each gentle gesture, Life shared his love for the owls, explaining their role in the ecosystem and the importance of treating all creatures with respect. He spoke of the nights spent lying under the stars, where he learned about dreams and the value of understanding one another. As he gently flared his “wings” made of feathers and leaves, the crowd erupted into cheers. Though Cobalt did not win the contest, he brought something far more precious to the stage, an inspiring reminder that love, kindness, and authenticity were the true colors one should wear.
As he left the stage, he smiled. He thought: "Even though I didn't win, I really enjoyed getting here. Brainstorming with the others, collecting and thinking, then putting the items together and attaching them. All of this was a wonderful experience that I wouldn't want to miss. Next time I will try harder!"
