Constellation: The Giraffe
D.O.B.: 7/17/04
Gender: Male
Skin Color: Pale yellow with yellow markings
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Brown
Height: 6'2"
Special Traits: Giraffe ears and horns, hooves, extremely long, gawky limbs, a slightly longer-than-average neck, and terrible eyesight.
Personality: "Cami" is, bluntly put, a total nerd. Or geek. He wants nothing more than to be cool and to be loved, but it seems the harder he tries the nerdier he becomes. However, beneath his dorky exterior lies a heart of gold, steadfast loyalty, and bravery--when it comes to defending those he loves.

Arach - Head of the house.
Though she doesn't always act very sane, Ara tries her best to be a good mom to her charges, even if it tends to backfire.

User Image
Book - The one and only Grimorum.
It acts as Ara's 'conscience' of sorts, and likes to input its two cents in just about everything. Comes with egg.

User Image
Egg - The Grimorum egg.
Ara got it nearly at the cost of her life. She loves it to death. Literally.

User Image
Scarlet - Ara's Magical Starry Kitty. Ph34r her.
Scarlet has a bit *cough*more*cough* of a superiority complex. And she sleeps alot.

User Image
Mayuma - Ara's Freyja-self. Isn't she perfect?
A custom Equus Arach got for a story competition. You can read the winning entry on the Equus main thread (see the 'links' section).


User Image
Déus
A lovely green blob, currently being grown in its tank, in the master bedroom. It matches the décor.


User Image
Artifae
A cracked pot Ara's friend Archaosa gave her. It hails from India, apparently. (Of course, this explains the Star of David on its side. xD) It's a bit...off, for a pot.


User Image
Vleuel Dier Egg
An unhatched Vleuel Dier egg, which was given to Arach for her participation in putting some up for adoption.


User Image
Rufus
A Nárimba who has adopted Arach. He guards the house against intruders, and when he's not doing that, he spends his hours helping Cami with his 'experiments'.


User Image
Marys
A mask that Arach forged for her own amusement, it has now begun to glow unearthly...let's see what happens, eh?


User Image
Namir
A Siberianz cub, he's cute and affectionate, though quite young. As he matures, he'll be more social.

Astras:</center>

Pavo - Pavo is nice. Cami would probably think he was pretty, if Cami could actually see anything.

Vulpecula - Cami let her play with his toy. I guess he must really like her, then.

Centaurus - Centi is currently the only baby who can manage a semblance of a walk, thanks to his horse instincts. Cami likes him.

Nope!

Stuff we bought.

User Image
Cami's favorite pillow. He snuggles it all the time when he's at home.
User ImageUser ImageUser ImageUser Image
A collection of beanies I thought were too cute to miss out...Cami assembles them around himself at night. I think they make him feel safer, I dunno.

User ImageUser ImageUser ImageUser ImageUser ImageUser Image

A bunch of lanterns Cygni went crazy over so we had to buy them. xD They're hanging in her room, and serve no other purpose than to look pretty.

Presents...we like presents.

n/a

Other stuff.

User Image
Cygni's little Kitsune (or at least, that's what the shopkeep called them), Drop does little more than flutter around her mistress all day, keeping the Swan company.

User Image
Cami's Kitsune, Cortex.

Camelopardalis, the giraffe, can be found between Perseus, Auriga and Lynx, the hind quarters are in the Mily Way.
The constellation first appeared in 1614, it was published by Bartschius in outline form only, he wrote that it represented the Camel that brought Rebecca to Issac. Proctor attempted to change its name to Camelus and it appeard that way by Mr. J. Ellard Gore in 1894 in his translation of Flammrion's Astronomie Popularie.
