This is Gyra from my story Scarlet Shadows and, for whatever reason, Gyra has cat ears.  Why? I don't know, but they're adorable.  So There!  XD
Anyways she's getting some well deserved rest, so I'll just let her sleep for now.  Reality will hit hard when she wakes again~

Enjoy!

<3 i love cat ears, How badass do you think Gyra is compared to Allen, i mean she did kill someone with a spoon, unless im just getting characters mixed up.

Nope, you got them right.    

I would avoid crossing Gyra at all cost.  
She's relatively nice, a little standoffish (which is to be expected), she's extremely Loyal (unlike Allen who doesn't have much experience with it), very much her own person (not that she had a choice in the matter XD) and tends to... snap, when her friends are threatened and stop and nothing to keep them safe.
Combine that with her raw fighting skills and her killer instinct and you've got one individual you don't want to mess with.
Also, some years after she killed the dude with the spoon, she killed two others with a pitch fork.  By the way, the two men were well trained solders fully clad in armor and she was just recovering from severe blood loss (the result of which is why she never has sleeves and has a portion of her arms covered by the arm bands, to protect the raw skin underneath.)

*cough* sorry, I've spent years developing her story and background information, it tends too~ build up.

I have one question... is she gonna have ears forever?

Oh and i dunno, i only recently got into being creative, so all my characters fall rather short compared to yours, i did write a chapter to a book on my AP chemistry exam though.

No, she's not going to have cat ears, actually it doesn't really happen in the story... but I just really like cat ears.  Her ears can change back and fourth between human ears and elf ears (due to some handy enchantments the elves developed to protect themselves form the human race)

A chapter of a book on an AP chemistry exam?  That's cool, first off, and how did that work?

Not sure... My school forces all AP students to take the exam for the AP courses that they enrolled in, but ive already been excapeted and everything for the university i want to go to, and i don't want to skip first semester of any of my courses. 
Instead of writing the exam i wrote a few essay/song/lyrics/songs/drew pictures, and then on my chemistry test for the free response questions i just wrote a story about love in space, it was pretty cool.

Hugh~ that's interesting about the AP tests.  My school didn't make anyone take the AP exams, (or I would have run into some more time issuers senior year   time and I, we don't get along...) 
Are you going to put the story up on Deviant Art?  It sounds interesting.

I may, it's only in my head at the moment, but there is a girl with cat ears in it, which makes me want to a little more than before.

Ouch~
Well, one thing that helps me with burnout is biking~ When the whole world just becomes so clear and blurred....
*slams head on table* sorry, haven't been out in a while, and it's kind of killing me, I'm not sure whats more distracting, Allen Rail or no biking~

Honestly i think I'm addicted to adrenaline, it's hard when your rational mind says "oh damn i feel all down and stuff, maybe i should watch a movie" and then your Adrenaline deprived brain chimes in and says "you know what, you should, you should probably jump over that thing right there, like now" dammit... im a junkie.

AlexandeNight In reply to ArkadiaBae [2014-05-15 00:10:53 +0000 UTC]

I'm a bit of a biking junkie (adrenaline is nice but I really like the burn)~  
I seriously go through major withdrawal when winter kicks in.  I get the shakes, my muscles hurt all the bleeding time, I can't sleep, restless~  not good.  I really need to start biking in winter or I'm going to go stark raving mad one of these times. XD

Biking in winter is fun, pretty much impossible without studs, but fun as hell, and it doesn't hurt at all when or if you fall.

Wouldn't it be great to have one of those snow bikes, with the really fat tires?  I really want to try one out~

ArkadiaBae In reply to AlexandeNight [2014-05-15 00:38:12 +0000 UTC]

I just put spikes through my old tires, but ive seen a few of those around, they look... fun, but i dunno, they kinda look impractical to me.

AlexandeNight In reply to ArkadiaBae [2014-05-15 00:47:49 +0000 UTC]

They look extremely impractical~ regardless, I want to try one.  Particularly on the Mississippi bottoms~
They just seem like a good idea in the dead of winter. 

In truth there's only one single track in my area, so mostly I'm confined to the roads, not a good place to take one's bike in winter~  That and I don't have booties, or anything else to cover my feet

I just wear my regular riding shoes in the winter, and hope my toes don't fall off.

Ha, ha! yeah~
My favorite biking weather though is a heat advisory day~  I love that weather!

ArkadiaBae In reply to AlexandeNight [2014-05-18 02:18:47 +0000 UTC]

Too hot for me, i much prefer 15 to 20 degrees, or uhh, 59 to 68. and a heavy fog too, i love riding through the tree when there is fog, it makes you feel so isolated, kinda creepy too. Oh and if it's raining a bit, that's fun for me too.

AlexandeNight In reply to ArkadiaBae [2014-05-18 05:43:55 +0000 UTC]

Well there's a trick to the heat advisory day's~  See, you need to have the trip around a water source, so, about half way through you can dunk your head under water and bring down your core temperature.  Nothing feels as good as that, it just makes you feel so alive~ (I used to hate those day's, but now I love them, my dad taught me XD)
 
Yeah, that's a great time to be out biking too~ I love watching the mist roll off the top of the bluffs or pool above ponds and swamps~  I also love it when a big storm is rolling in, and you can practically feel the electricity in the air and tast it too~  Then you can see the curtains of rains coming right at you on the horizon~  Admittedly not the best time to be out, but, I don't bleeding care...  
Gah~ can't wait to get out again, I went for a 30 mile ride today, but, that was a couple of hours ago, I'm ready for the next ride....

I love working up a sweat while biking, but i've been through too many XC races in the hottest days of summer to like heat anymore, although honestly while your on the bike you can't really notice the heat, so it does just end up being awesome. Though feeling alive, i think i would rather just drop a thirty foot cliff... adrenaline is ≥ heat, plus takes less work usually.

Haha, i love doing stuff in storms, nothing like mother nature to boost your ride.

AlexandeNight In reply to ArkadiaBae [2014-05-18 16:05:36 +0000 UTC]

Well yeah~ you're bound to heat angst when waiting around in if for a race.  I was talking largely about riding in it~  I have developed a high tolerance for it since I've started heat advisory rides. 

I'm a climbing type bicyclist.  My favorite bike route has this grade 1 clime on it, and man~ I love it.  I think it's a bout a mile long or more... I'm not sure, but it's a steep son of a gun with very little traffic.  You give me any hill to climb and I'll go right up that sucker. 
There is certainly nothing like mother nature.

ArkadiaBae In reply to AlexandeNight [2014-05-18 22:32:53 +0000 UTC]

I do love a good climb, as long as there is a long, technical, root filled trail with a few rock to jump off. 
The feeling you get when you crest that hill is awesome, but what makes it better (at least for me) is knowing you get to tear that hill apart on the way down.

AlexandeNight In reply to ArkadiaBae [2014-05-19 05:08:49 +0000 UTC]

Ohh a good technical climb is very fun.  I like negotiating sugar sand too~ It's a pain, but when you get through it, it's like Ha! Not today gravity, Not today! (sorry, I'm in a weird mood, I know not what I type)

But ya see, I absolutely love climbing, to the point that I don't even care if there isn't a downhill at the end, just so long as I get that climb.  I have honestly always been that way~  Save if it's a really steep downhill, then I hate it.  I mean, you spend all that time going up then it's only three minutes to the bottom and you can't even let lose because of wind and stupid people in cars...  But yeah~  didn't get my ride in today, feeling a bit weird about it...

ArkadiaBae In reply to AlexandeNight [2014-05-20 00:39:43 +0000 UTC]

I don't even know what sugar sand is, although from the name it is pretty easy to come to an appropriate conclusion on its sand and sugar like properties.

That's actually cool, i would love to be able to go out and ride up a hill, the only motivation needed was the up part of the hill. For me it's like torture riding up, and the only reason i don't give up is that i get to scare myself silly going way to fast down a trail meant for walking speeds.

When i lived on the North Shore my XC team used to ride up Cypress (one of the mountains) on the road, Maybe an hour and a half ride up, and then we would pull into this trail that was so technical enough that with the full team (some riders were better then others) it would take 45 mins to get back down.... i miss that route, those were the days.

Sugar sand is essentially the soft patches of sand that your tire sinks into when you go over it, .  Now I'm wondering about the origins of the term XD
My trick to riding up hills is zen.  That sounds a bit weird, but what i do is find something else to concentrate on, to space out about.  Weather it's counting the species of flowers on the roadside (works really well and I now know a variety of plants that can be used for medicinal purposes or for poisoning... XD)  The other method is going through scenes of my stories, they really are for distracting one's mind.  The other one is imagining one of my other characters and racing against them, (one of my character is into biking and she's bleeding tough, so she's fun to bike with)  Basically it's getting lost in the moment or in your head instead of thinking about what will be.  So when biking up hill, your body can slow down, but your mind can fly.  Anyways, that how I enjoy uphills so much, they're very relaxing and stimulating.

Admittedly, I'm not too good with downhills, I'm defiantly getting better, but I have a ways to go (not that I'm bad at downhills, it's just I'm not great, a couple of years back I got a mild phobia of downhill corners with gravel on the sides, it's been interesting to deprogram that response XD)

An hour and a half uphill!?  That sounds like a dream; I would love to do that haha!  And 45 minute downhill!  That does sound like quite the route, I bet you miss it!
