Description

*in a half-sarcastic manner* THE FIRST PERSON TO MENTION AND/OR RELATE MY CHARACTER TO THE BOOK SERIES WILL HAVE MANY SHARPENED PENCILS THROWN AT THEM. I'm probably going to need a bodyguard for saying this... :(

PLEASE, people. This is a character I made up LONG before the book series came out, around the same time as Funaaba. I'm sorry. I DON'T LIKE THE TWILIGHT SERIES. I started it, then skimmed through the rest because it was so bad. Frankly, I hated it. I thought the characters were shallow, cliched and unoriginal, as I found the writing style to be. Personally, I don't think the characters deserve to be called "vampires", because those are not real vampires. Real vampires have fangs and no reflections and are bloodthirsty monsters, not sparkly-skinned THINGs. Bella is clearly a Mary-sue, and I believe the author inserted herself into the story to fulfill a fantasy I believe would have been best kept to herself, ESPECIALLY since people are now being attacked, unprovoked, for expressing their dislike for Twilight when asked for their opinion.
Before you fans go rabid on me, please hear me out. The Twilight series is not for everyone, and it is not worth creating a religion for, nor is Twilight a Holy Book. In my opinion, if Stephanie Meyer is God, then I'm glad I'm atheist. :O_o: She's insulted some of the greatest pieces of literature of all time in multiple interviews. People, there are better books out there, you just have to know where to look. I can recommend plenty of feminine books, or just plenty of books in general, for multiple reading levels, and I'm not the only one.

Now, I trust you will be mature about this; please don't make comments like "OMG HOW CAN U NOT LYKE TWILIGHT EDDYKINS IS SOO HAAWWWWTTWILIGHTTWILIGHTTWILIGHT!!! U SUCK UR JUST JLOUS CUZ ULL NEVER HAVE ANY1 LYKE EDWARD!" (though that's greatly exaggerated, of course! :P), and please don't judge me, my art, or another Anti/Neutral for having a different opinion in literature than you. I will ban comments if I really have to, though I'd hate to.


*sigh*

Ok, rant-thing done with, Twilight was a character I made up soon after I created the original Funaaba. As I recall, I got her name by picking up one of the Redwall books (which is what Funaaba was originally a fan character for) and skimmed through and looked at the first word of every chapter to see if inspiration hit me. You can guess what the first word I happened upon that wasn't a character name or otherwise. ;) I believe she had a last name, but I forget what it was exactly, though I remember it was pretty unoriginal, something like Duskfur. :giggle: She was born a week after Funaaba, the day Funaaba was found amongst the carnage of her pack's massacre. Twi also has a twin brother, Mord (pic comes soon!). Funaaba and Twi were very alike as children; similar bodies, abilities, etc. So they were the best of friends and quite the team. They shared a cabin on The Thunderbird, Twi's father's ship. When The Thunderbird had to leave the shores of the village Funaaba and Twi spent their childhood in and moved to another one, Twi and Funaaba began to slowly drift apart. Twilight made few friends inland and preferred to remain on the ship studying with her father and the rest of the crew, while Funaaba settled into the life of a landlubber well, continuing her schooling. Three years later, the Thunderbird set sail again, traveling farther north. At this point it was clear that Twi and Mord were tired of living on a docked ship for years on end, and longing to sail the seas. Cap'n Plugg agreed to teach them a sailor's life, and planned a very long journey around the world.

When Funaaba was asked to join them, she was tempted, but in the end decided to stay and continue her learning, finding she didn't love the sea as much as she thought. Twilight was upset, of course, but they managed to part on loving terms. Funaaba's care was left to a family of rats that helped raise her, and they settled in a little village; Mothas and his wife Eclair, their two sons and adopted otter daughter welcomed Funaaba into their family-- which is why my own family are portrayed as rats and my sister an otter, and I a wolf.

Now, Twilight has long since grown into a young female. She developed a cockier, more high-spirited attitude than Funaaba, and of course Twi was MUCH taller and leaner and much more beautiful. Twi's not perfect, though; recently it was revealed that Twi had developed an underage drinking problem, and it was likely to remain a problem for a long time. But the sea is in Twi's blood, and she continues to explore it with her family, intending to captain her own ship someday.

:faint: WOW. That was a LONG description. But it sure explained a lot.
