Owner: Aeris11 I was always the odd one out of games, activities, you name it. People picked on me and made fun of me because I was different. The only good thing about me is that I would always play Dungeons and Dragons with my older brother, who was also my best friend. At school I was always being picked on and was called the school loser, but at home I was loved greatly. The worst day of my life came when my older brother went to the army and died there. That same night after we got the bad news, our house burned and charred my yellow skin to black. My parents died in the fire, and that left an emotional scar in my heart for life. After I had found a suitable place to live (a large treehouse which I had built) I worked oddjobs and saved up enough money to buy a blue paintbrush. I painted myself blue. Then I was no longer feared for being evil because of my black color. I bumped into Discy the Zafara at the Marketplace, and she told me about her mean owner who abandoned her. Discy's a bit stuck up and conceited. And when I was about 6 years old, I met an amazing Gelert named _Tikal_ who is always nice to everyone. That's why....I think I've fallen in love with her. I can only hope she likes me back, but my life has been filled with dissapointments and far off promises...._Tikal_ and I were the founers of the Darkness Shadows and are always looking for new Members, and soon met Tiifa the Aisha who also didn't have a home. She found an owner soon after, but the most pitiful time was when we found a young Usul stuffed in a trash can in the alleyways. She was covered with ashes and scarred like you wouldn't believe, and she melted our hears with sorrow instanly. So we took her in and took constant care of her; she too found an owner. DJ_Tiesto the Acara joined too, but also found an owner. When I went to a dance club with _Tikal_ one night, two Neopets got in a fistfight. I tried to break it up but ended up getting socked by a Lupe that ran away afterward. The other Neopet helped me up and apologized. He joined us too. His name is Fisagon, and he acts like a badboy all the time. I can tell he cares though. There was one more new addition to the family, Aeris11. She's our owner, but doesn't boss us around. Instead she helps us to protect Neopia from baddies. Maybe we'll finally be recognized for our deeds, too, someday.
