This is a journal for Huni Pi to use as she coaxes her Fenthry out of its feather and has lots of fun adventures with it.

Please don't post here unless Huni has given you permission!

Tara
The little pink feather leaps out of the box Huni Pi keeps her in, rising in a gracful arc toward the sky. It hangs there for a moment before beginning to fall, spinning quickly, shaft pointed toward the ground. The feather is suddenly caught in a bright flash of light and a small child tumbles into Huni Pi's hands. She stands at barely four inches tall, and her pink fur may remind some of bubble gum. Her obsidian black hair shines in the light, contrasting nicely with her much paler fur.

Here she is as a feather: User Image

Here she is now: User Image

Personality: Tara is mildly vain, or just proud of her looks, she likes being the center of attention, well mine and Pun's at least. She's a bit 'clingy' though, not wanting to be left on her own.
Likes: Being praised and complimented, cool and dark places, sophisticated things, sweets, plush toys and dancing.
Dislikes: Being ignored by those she likes, and not being able to fly
Goal: To be beautiful, stunning and ravishing, 'pretty' won't do.

Pun likes Tara for some reason, no nothing romantic! That's just plain inappropriate... but he seems to like her delicateness, her fragility. Maybe because his older sister usually handles the 'taking care' part, he wants to be responsible for someone too?</center>

I had been granted the privilage, no, the honor of adopting a fenthry. And after receiving Tara, I realized my penchant for winged creatures. They're all so beautiful and magnificent, so ethereal and yet tangible... and I'm digressing.

To bring Tara around, I have her in a safe velvet lined box that I will never let out of my sight! At least, as long as she's in the box that is. I visited the Fenthry store earlier the day, saw May with Kagei and Maine, even met Sarabi and Midori. I love the hur of Midori's green, it's so funky and classy at the same time.

When I got back to the manor, Pun took an instant liking to Tara. Not because she's pink he assured me, though I can't help wonder... In any case, I had instructed Pun to find a dark colored pillow from the laundry room then asked Nyeta to find me an aquarium (not a fishbowl) large enough to fit the pillow Pun was to bring me. Once my two bodyguards came with the things, I carefully rested Tara's feather on the pillow and placed it in the aquarium.

And to help Tara relax, I began to play a soft Chinese song. The theme song for the Chinese soap opera "Bao Cing Tien." I realize that my Ping Yin isn't quite up to parr, but roughly that's how it goes.

I wasn't quite sure of Tara's sentience, but I introduced the others who lived with me in the manor. Pun went up first, mainly because Nyeta forced him to. He was so funny, stammering every other word, he practically stumbled on them. Nyeta had no problem, that tressym was such a chatterbox, I only hope Tara wouldn't get too influnced by her.

Tylan stared at Tara curiously for a good few seconds before saying his name then leaving almost curtly. Verne said nothing, she only trembled in my hand as I held up the blossom to Tara's aquarium. I don't think it was my imagination but Tara seemed to respond, somehow. I'm just not quite sure.

Once the others (except for Verne whom I placed near Tara's aquarium) had left, I changed the music track. Still soothing and calm, I didn't want to shock Tara into permanent stasis after all. I murmured gently to her, about how pretty she was, and how much prettier she'll be when she grows up. And I also told her how I hoped we'd be friends, and how I wanted her to meet other Fenthrys.

I bade her goodnight, to allow her to rest and get accustomed to her new surroundings. Setting the cd on random loop to keep the soft melodic Chinese, Filipino, and Japanese (with some Enya thrown in) songs playing. I didn't completely turn the lights out, leaving a lamp lit just in case Tara didn't like the dark too much.

Today was not a very good day for me, other than the fact I got very little sleep last night, a groupmate failed to give her share of the work. And considering the deadline for said project is less than two days from now, I'm really stressed. Of course I did not make this known to Tara, wouldn't want to worry her.

To help myself relax (and get to know Tara a little more), I decided to show her some pictures. No, none of them are of me, I'd only end up traumatizing her. I carefully took her and her pillow out of the aquarium and placed them on a desk.

I then showed Tara an image of the Goddess of Mercy, Na Mo Guan Se Im Po Sah. She didn't seem bothered by the fact the goddess had a hundred and eight arms. And I didn't think it was necessary to tell her that the Goddess has a male form.

Next I showed her a poster of Linkin Park, yes I'm a fan, what can I say? She didn't like them all that much, she tingled at the sight of the poster. Mental note: play one song for her once she emerges from the feather and see her reaction.

Of course I also showed her a page from "Pet Shop of Horrors" particularly from the Diamond story. She gave mixed reactions, tingling at the picture of the female but vibrating at Count D. I would have thought she'd dislike Count D for being so efeminate.

I also showed her the ad for Xenogears "Stand tall and shake the heavens." She liked it, mainly because it had Fei in it and well he's hot. Of course Sigurd's much more appealing but I'm digressing again...

Not to leave out OPWs (Original Philippine Works), I showed her some deviantart accounts owned by Filipinos. Some made her tingle and some made her vibrate. Most of the vibrations involved soft, pretty images and the tingles came from the more violent ones.

I'm guessing Tara will dislike violence general, but from her almost instantaneous reactions she isn't above it either. I only hope she won't be as bloodthirsty as Nyeta. Pun should be a good influence on her.

Then just for the heck of it, I read a couple of entries from the dictionary. Don't ask why, I needed to get my mind off the project. And words seemed the best way. I read a few pages of T, then backtracked to A, then skipped to R then back to A. And I don't think she got that I spelt her name. But she's still young, and she has much to learn after all.

Oh and Syldan popped out momentarily, sniffing about. But the moment he saw me, he skittered away somewhere. Afterwards I brought Tara to the shop and saw Sioned. We talked for a while and I let Tara look around from my hand. A storm hit suddenly, so we had to stay there for a while. Tara seemed to like the cold, she had reacted favorably to it.

I also saw PirateElf, but I didn't really talk to her. I wonder if she remembers me? Any case, I'm not quite sure what happened but one of her Fenthry went out on an adventure or something... wonder if he came back.

Well, that's all I have to write about today. I'll see what else I can show Tara. Maybe I'll bring her to all sorts of places tomorrow.

Today was a seesaw of emotions. I started the day with a cruddy mood, the need to finish my project was just too much. I was only able to give Tara a quick hello and goodbye before I dashed off to school. Once I got home (I still have to cram for the project oh woe is me), I thought it would do Tara some good if I brought her to different places while she was still in feather form.

I brought her to the Agency and gave her a tour. She liked the Agency , maybe it was because the lighting wasn't bright. Then I went to my other shop, she liked Mewo... maybe I should give her another plushie? Yeah, I think I'll do that. Not right now though...

Pun insisted he accompany us, but I told him to stay behind. He looked crestfallen, but obeyed. Tara seemed to object to that decision, but I wanted to have some alone time with her and explained it to her gently. She vibrated in response, faintly but vibrated nonetheless.

I placed her in her travel box again as I went from place to place, like the library. I showed her some of the titles I've read, she responded poorly to the romance novels with tragic heroines, and favorably to the rich and aristocratic ones.

I also brought her to a theatre rehearsal of The Wiz. She loves the wicked witch for some reason and tingled like crazy at Dorothy. Maybe she thinks Dorothy's too goody goody? I think the munchkins scared her...

After I went to these places I brought her back to the shop. I talked to the Lady for a while and showed Tara to her. Lady's ill, I do hope she gets better soon. Tara's not quite sure what she thinks of Lady though. Tara began acting odd after a while, and I mistook this as a sign that she wanted to go to more places. So I placed her back in her travel box and headed out.

All of a sudden, the box vibrated like crazy and began to shake so hard it almost fell out of my hands. Frightened at what might be happening to Tara, I opened the lid and saw the feather literally leap out and a blinding light flashed. Once the lumination died down to a tolerable level, I saw Tara had grown! And she was absolutely exquisite.

Quickly I caught her as she descended, cradling her gently in my palms. She looked up at me almost haughtilly, as if to say "You kept me waiting." I couldn't blame her really so I let it slide.

Her gaze shifted from my face to the travel box, and I let her sit inside and kept the lid off. She liked the lining, making a sound almost akin to purring as she snuggled against the velvet. With a wide yawn, she curled up in the box and was soon softly sleeping.

I went home after that, and it was all I could do to keep Pun from wailing that he should have been with us. He had wanted to be there to see Tara's growth. Nyeta ended up whacking him upside the head to shut him up. Tylan gave a passing shrug at the news before he continued to meditate.

I took out the pillow from the aquarium and placed it near the travel box. Just in case Tara wanted more room. I'll find her a bigger box to sleep in later. Right now I have to finish this entry and finish cramming my project. I hate consolidating information...

This is more of an aside than anything, as Tara slept, I realized that there was no way for me to sleep at this hour. So I went shopping, and shopping is a great way to relieve my stress level. I saw this krystal and I was drawn to it, in a different way from Tara of course.

<center>User Image</center>

And damn this krystal is cold... it has an attitude methinks... but I suppose I should learn how to deal with personalities like this. I hope Tara will be able to get along with this krystal... she does like the cold though.

I am in so much pain... physical pain that is. This is a result of not sleeping for over twenty four hours... I only hope I don't snap at Tara. She's been really... er... the only word that comes to mind is the Filipino word "kulit." She's incessantly been asking me all sorts of things, well not verbally asking but she'll point to practically anything and everything and won't stop tugging at my hair until I explain what it was.

So far, I've shown her how to say hello and goodbye physically. She's making a lot of progress, she even learned how to give a flying kiss. I think Nyeta had something to do with that.

I need to teach Tara how to read. I passed by the bookstore on the way home from school, and got her an ABC book. I read it to her like at least ten times before the words started to swim before my eyes. I needed to rest, so I asked Pun to read to Tara for me. He practically tore the book from my hands.

If I didn't know better, I would have thought Tara hired Pun. I just hope Tara's first words will be "Huni" or "Ma" and not "Pun." I seriously need to talk to him...

I am exhausted... I still haven't recovered from that hellish project of mine. I feel like such an awful parent... Pun told me Tara said her first word while I was sleeping (I had to, 30 hours of no sleep is enough reason for me to kill someone). I was hoping it would be Mom or something that affirmed my maternal instincts.

Unfortunately it wasn't. I think I should lessen the time Pun spends with Tara, because the first word my little Fenthry said was "Boss." And now she keeps referring to me as "Boss" rather than Mom!! I am going to kill Pun... if his older sister will let me that is.

I decided to separate Pun from Tara for a while. She took the news pretty well, but Pun looked like I had just told him he was going to be neutered. In any case, Tara has been forming all sorts of words. Mostly monosyllabic stuff, like Pun, boss, shake, bye, hi but she can say her name. She even managed to make a simple sentence! I'm so proud of her!

Tara said
Tara not cute, Tara be-yu-ti-fl.


Well she has to word on her diction some more... but I'll help her out on that. I might drop by the store later... if my body can handle it. In any case, I thought we'd watch some movies. Mostly pirated DVD's really, I didn't buy them, my mom sent them to me...

Of course I wanted to show Tara wholesome things, so I played some of the old musicals. And for some reason "Bahay ni Lola" was included. I completely forgot it was a horror film!! Scared me half to death!!! And for some reason, Tara only laughed. I think Nyeta had something to do with this... those siblings are influencing Tara behind my back!

But I'm sure they mean well... when Tara can form more complicated sentences, I'll let her write in the journal. She can use the filler for the mechanical pencils, graphite's pretty light after all. And if she gets dirty, I'll have a small cup of water for her to wash her paws in.

Today was a sad day for me... I brought Tara to a flatsale, and she didn't like what she saw. Mainly me being so competitive over another pet. I think I hurt her feelings when she saw how disappointed I was when I didn't win. I feel so stupid for saying I never win anything good...

She wouldn't speak to me for a while. She just sat in her travel box, and didn't even look me in the eye. I asked her if she wanted to watch a movie, her choice. She just shook her head and said "Home."

So we went back home, where she instantly latched herself onto Pun. He didn't mind, and they were whispering to each other every time I saw them. I asked Nyeta would they could be talking about, but she just shrugged, said it wasn't any of her business.

Damn it, it may not be her business but it is mine! Okay, I have to calm down... Maybe I should go buy Tara a book to read? And maybe some of those putobumbong she likes so much... or maybe a palitaw or bibingka? Yeah... I think I'll buy her all of those.

For now, I'll just apologize to Tara again before I go shopping for her stuff. Pun will take care of her in the meantime.

An aside entry. While Tara was playing Pirate in the shop, I told Pun to buy her some goodies n.n

<center>User Image</center>

She has to like at least one of these sweets O_O and maybe then she won't be so mad at me... gosh am I bribing her to forgive me?! I hope not... I just don't know how to apologize to her...

I also decided to give Tara her own journal. It's just the right size for her (Pun had to scour the Mini shop list to find these miniature writing materials, I need to give him a bonus for his efforts).
