Often hovering behind her brother like a silent shadow, most assume To Hold was born last…probably not least because of the order of their names. She was born just a little earlier, and her quiet demeanour in public belies her bladed mind. When she goes with only him, she speaks as clearly as any would, and more knowing, his wise advisor; when she goes without him, she runs free, to do her own, wild things.
...yours was the face with a grace from a different age... – Great Expectations Spoiler
NOTES :: I always knew that I Do's first clutch had to be with her BFF Little Prince, and when Lolli-love came back to Matope I had to ask – and staff-credded them from Maxx for my birthday! This is the bit you may or may not realise that anything Maxx is supposed to do for me gets put on the backburner until everything else is done. Anyway, they're perfect. I knew I had to have Hold immediately because of events that transpired in the blessing, but at first neither Lolli nor I could choose next and she so very sweetly told me to take my time picking. QAQ Then I woke up feeling like I had to keep Have to name the two To Have and To Hold, not least because of Elbow's Great Expectations looping in my mind thanks to their grandmother, Bring in the Night. Not only did that end up aligning with Lolli's eventual pref list, she had pretty much the same idea with To Honor and To Obey! This clutch means so much to me…

If his father is the Little Prince, he might just be a little king. Free and fearless, he tosses his long mane and laughs in the sun. In another life, he would be leading armies; in this, he was born into the Royal Rainbow Troupe, and whips up a hell of a show.

Born into the Polite Society, she understands the airs and graces; her manners would be impeccable, if she cared. She doesn't. Not everyone was made for the Polite Society. Her wit is dry, her intonation drier.
NOTES :: I've had so many thoughts about this girl ever since she was made…and all these years later, darling Lolli suddenly put her right into my lap! ;A;
PETS :: Festival of Abundance 2020: Wolves Scavenger Hunt. It was only right that a Kin called Lupin should get the leafy wolf. (Technically male.)

He wanders as far as a Kin possibly can, but never forgets the ones who saw him on his way. A thoughtful, grateful buck who carries his friends in his heart and sees their faces in the stars (probably because his eyesight is so bad like all seeing Zikwas).
...you are the stars I navigate home by... – Dear Friends Spoiler
NOTES :: The darlings Dawns, purp, Yuno, and Ruri nominated me in the Nomination Grams pop-up booth at the end of the 2019 Winter Market and got me a blue giftbox! QAQ<3 There are not enough crying emoticons in the world to express how incredibly moved and touched and sobbing I am over the wonderful things these wonderful friends said about me, and to get such a beautiful Zik out of their kindness is just incredible. I've always wanted to name a Kin after the Elbow song "Dear Friends" (I've been ridiculously emotional over it ever since hearing Guy Garvey do the vocalisations solo in a live here)…and clearly this was the perfect Kin for it! ;A; Thank you so much, guys, you really are my dear, dear friends. QAQ!!!

She did her best to match her brother's name for his, though Swamp knows why. The mantis itself is very nice.
...-... - ... Spoiler
NOTES :: A beautiful gift from Yuki and Lolly I adore so much! QAQ<3 She's not plain in the slightest I just had to…nature'y-namematch with Maxx and… *stares at hands*
PETS :: One of the OG mantises from 2013. Finally.

Kiss in the Dark, usually referred to in full, is like that scary biker chick who seems like a lone wolf, but is actually a little lonely inside. Also actually likes cute things a little, but is too self-conscious to show it.

NOTES :: Ruripuri told me to pick a pair for my birthday WAAAHHH – in the end I just wanted MLP… u_u I'm so so in love with these incredible kids and my darling Ruripuri! ;A;<3<3 I've wanted to use this name for five million years and you get a shiny gold star if you recognise the song.

Very intense… Nightdream is like that hardcore goth in high school who is also hardcore into cute pink things like My Little Phony and will stare at you very hard if you look askance at her My Little Phony in a way that suggests she is capable of terrible bodily harm, which she is.

NOTES :: Scara suggested this perfect pair and then spoilt me with an RLC of it! QAQ I didn't think I was going to go for Temptation but in the end I yadda yadda.

...lay a whisper on my pillow, leave the winter on the ground... – It Must Have Been Love Spoiler
NOTES :: Maxx's April CC picked by blue! We always hoped to see blue do this one. I was always gonna keep this boy and had about three separate and very serious name contenders for him before this horrible theme happened…

...I turn to water like a teardrop in your palm... – It Must Have Been Love Spoiler
NOTES :: Maxx's April CC picked by blue! We always hoped to see blue do this one. I picked Windblown and Maxx was agonising over the other three. I told him someone had better keep this girl so if he didn't I would and call her Where the Water Flows and the boy Where the Wind Blows… …… ………. Anyway, I both ironically and deeply unironically really love this song a lot.

She has little of her mother's elfin touch, and all of her father's dragon blood. A fierce and unyielding fighter, with more than a touch of bloodlust, but she is honourable, and she is proud.
NOTES :: May CC pick; I really loved this pair and she's perfect.
PETS :: This caveworm has only waited since 2015 for the right owner to come along... I nearly named Fever for a Dune ref but didn't so her worm gets to be a Dune ref instead.

Good at squeezing into nooks and crannies, and hiding out in dark little pools, given away by little more than his bunny-ear horns. Still a happy little seaslug.
