A few additional bios from the
old forum's Census Bureau:
From JillPole:
Aria Belle DeLaverock Aliases/Nicknames/Titles: The Tireless Engineer, Aimee Pennyworth and various other false identities, Linnod (only to her parents)
Age: 23
Species: Somewhere between human and elvish…it depends what time of the month you ask- she oscillates. Originally, however, she was halfelven, born of two halfelven parents.
Height/Weight: 5’7”, ~130 lbs.
Hair/Eyes: Brown/brown
Appearance: Slim but curved and athletic. Long brown hair commonly worn in a French braid for convenience, wears glasses (used to be for distance vision, but that’s been corrected; she just likes how she looks with them on), usually in jeans and a t-shirt or turtleneck. These days whether her ears point or not is a toss up- as is whether or not her human grandfather’s clumsiness is manifesting itself.
Personality: She’s like a big sister to everybody- she tries to be patient, kind, and intelligent without being patronizing...but she can be a control freak. She also tries to think out every possibility in every possible course whenever possible before choosing an action, yet does act quickly. She likes to appear tough because she feels the need to be strong for others. She can look fearless and be quivering inside. Has a few very close friends see past the veneer, but sometimes feels close relationships are dangerous for both sides, especially with men. However, she’s attracted to the hero type and isn’t above feigning interests in enemy agents if it serves her purpose. Has a temper, but a hard one to rouse or she’d always be angry. She both values and struggles with her relationship with Illuvatar; she has a hard time just trusting Him and letting Him take control.
Likes: weapons, inventing stuff, designing, building, being in charge, spending time with close friends, disguises (though that is more of a love/hate relationship these days), singing, dancing, winning fights,
Dislikes: uncertainty, vulnerability, failure/mistakes, being bored, being lonely, not being able to be herself
Occupation: Former investigative agent, engineer/inventor; currently head of a 150-individual engineering company responsible for the construction and partial design of the Monmouth Memorial Astronomical Emporium and a few other projects about town.
Family: Parents are Muireanne and Bellcaunion DeLaverock; has one sister, Song MacCormac (nee DeLaverock), and is first cousin to her fore-elf, Eruheran. Many other elvish and human relatives including a rather clumsy grandfather, and an Aunt Flarin and Uncle Tindar (Flarin is Muireanne’s sister, wife of Tindar, and mother of Eruheran.) Had an Aunt Drix, who died.
Friends: Oceana, Katherine Grayson, Ryder Knight (nee Grayson), Olivia Nix, Lianna Gibson, Adrian, her crew, Cymru Llewellyn, Giles, Iaffn Llewellyn, Dr. Ivanos, Thundershadow, Erik and Abby Silvermoon, Phoenix Archer, most town residents.
History: Genetically altered while in Muireanne’s womb by the Organization to achieve close to genetic perfection by way of her elvish genes as a backup to the Genesis project that resulted in Cymru. Due to this, Aria possesses intelligence well above the average and completed all her schooling by the time she was sixteen. Her parents were supposed to have died when she was only four, and was raised by her aunt Drix for four years before escaping; unbeknownst to her parents, Drix had turned to dark magic and, once she had custody of Aria and Song, ignored them or sought to control them. When the girls escaped with the help of their tutor, a Faun named Fergus, Drix was devastated by her failure to have the power to stop them, and set fire to her estate. She perished when she could not escape. Aria spent the years following her degree involved with various covert organizations, going undercover to seek the truth about her parents’ death. Having discovered the truth of her genetic manipulation, she eventually decided she had all the answers she was going to get and formed her own travelling engineering company. This eventually brought her to Ditto Town, where she was asked to build the Astronomical Emporium, met Cymru (her sister in experimentation), and was reunited with her real sister, Song, whom she had not seen in years. She and her team participated in the Battle of Ditto Town, and later set off for space in the Dittopian StarSeeker following a series of dreams in which Aria learned that her parents were alive, but were elsewhere in the galaxy. En route, she was infected by an Organization-developed retrovirus which was designed to perfect her human DNA, making her a second Cymru, but her elvish genetics fought back, leading to her current state. She did find Muireanne and Bellcaunion, and the discovery they had fled the planet to hide- an enzyme that would facilitate genetic alteration to the point that it would be absurdly easy- and eventually returned to Ditto Town. Most recently, she was involved in saving the life of Verena Gibson, and following, Katherine’s journey to an interdimensional lock that needed sealing, providing moral and battle support.
ThundershadowAge: 102 self-measured years
Species: Narnian unicorn
Height/Weight: 16 hands, 1500 lbs.
Hair/Eyes: White/brown
Appearance: Um...white unicorn, 1m long pearlescent horn on forehead. Feathering at fetlocks, prefers mane and tail naturally long. Used to wear a gold locket around neck, now wears thicker decorative leather collar in white with silver accents.
Personality: Wise, personable, gentle, forgiving. A fierce fighter, a kind counsellor, and a quick thinker when push comes to shove but prefers to take time, and speak only after much thought. Very patient, probably due to having seen a great deal of odd things. Quite adventurous, and fiercely defensive of friends.
Special Abilities: She is mildly telekinetic and can change appearance at will, to the point of being able to chameleon herself into a kind of invisibility and “cloak” her horn. Since her return from near-death (see below), she can also emit light- from a dim moonlight to a fierce, blinding glow.
Likes: carrots, apples, and a good clover hay; good friends, giving advice, defending those she loves, conversations, and sometimes designing things
Dislikes: Minding her own business, saying goodbye
Occupation: Interworld traveller, but has been stopping in Ditto Town (though somewhat erratically) for the past while; served as First Officer of the Dittopian StarSeeker. Amateur astronomer, and designer/sort-of-architect for the Monmouth Memorial Astronomical Emporium.
Family: Daughter of Fleetwood and Stormfly, both of whom still live happily in Narnia.
Friends: Erik and Abby Silvermoon (with a standing offer to babysit for them when their egg hatches), Aria DeLaverock and her crew and family, Cymru Llewellyn, Darth Devaricate, Katherine Grayson and the rest of the Gibson/Grayson/Knight/Nix family, Skyhunter the Falcon, most town citizens
Short History: Thundershadow was foaled during the reign of King Rillian of Narnia, though he is still king there when she visits due to the difference in how time travels between worlds. When still a young filly, she was exploring some caves near the western waterfall and discovered a set of keys- one yellow, and one green…you can guess what happened when she picked up the yellow one second. In the Wood, Aslan appeared to Thundershadow and told her His purpose: that she travel to other worlds and help others in His name. This eventually led to her entering the Dittopian world shortly before the battle for the underground fountain. Soon after, she met Erik Silvermoon for the first time and designed the Astronomical Emporium. She was then involved in an attempt to protect Cymru during the Ian/Yves crisis, and was shot during a Christmastime confrontation in the square. She seemed to have died, in the end asking Erik to send her back to the Wood. However, she later returned, having been healed by a fellow interworld traveller who resembled a living ball of light, and now sometimes glows as a side effect. She joined Aria’s quest to find her parents, serving as first officer of the StarSeeker, and recently returned from Katherine’s journey to the interdimensional lock, wherein she was able to be of assistance thanks to her own interworld travels.
From Aravanna:
General Information
Character Name:
Erica WilkinsAuthor: Aravanna
Character Information
Age: 15 (An awkward age by all accounts)
Gender: Female
Species: Human... as far as you know... (No, she’s human)
Hair/Eye Colors: Brownish-Blond/Blue
Weight/Height: 104 pounds/5 feet 3 inches
Distinct Markings: She has a scar on her left hand from a burn but other than that, she’s one of the more normal denizens of Ditto Town.
Clothes and Other Accessories: She's a jeans and T-shirt person
Weapons: Since her arrival in Ditto Town she's acquired a light double-edged saber that she can make limited use of.
Armor: none
Residence: The Mansion, although how she affords it remains a mystery since she has no job.
Occupation: She's been looking for a job for a while now, but she hasn't been able to find anything. Hints have been dropped that she might be able to find work at the Watermill.
Mode of Transportation: Her feet and teleportation when Val is in a good mood (see below.)
Overall Personality: Erica is extremely shy and non-confrontational. While thoughtful and possessing a love of learning, she's not a genius by any means. She can actually be fierce when something she deeply cares about is threatened (although a little clumsy in the attempt.) However, it's very rare to see her like this since she only have a few friends and precious few important beliefs.
Personality Flaws: Erica is painfully shy and way too concerned about what other people think of her, although her shyness is starting to vanish thanks to Val submersing her in awkward situations all the time. For the most part, she’s also very passive about her fate.
Hobbies: Daydreaming and sleeping.
Likes/Dislikes: She likes imagining how her life could be as well as math (especially algebra.) In a bizarre sort of way, she also likes Val and her antics. She dislikes loud people, temperatures below 60 F and zits.
Long-term Goals: She would like to find a job in Ditto Town and some day return to Earth and a normal life.
Skills: Erica possesses the ability to get herself into awkward situations.
Magic Skills: none
Family: Two embarrassing parents and an older brother, Alex Micah Wilkins, back on Earth. She misses them almost all the time although she doesn’t talk about it.
Friends: Erica’s best friend is a fairy dragon named Valyantasha. She is acquainted with Eric and Abby the gargoyles. Nerrha the Star Defender also taught her how to use a sword. Recently she’s become good friends with Roj and Axe since they’re friendly, funny, and close to her age.
Enemies: Someone named Fredrick who tried to take Val from her. I have reason to suspect he might have been working under someone as well.
Pets, etc: None (Never call Val a pet under pain of being bitten by someone who can breathe fire once they’ve clamped on.)
Short History: Erica grew up in Northeastern United States back on Earth when her brother sent her a fairy dragon egg for her birthday. (He had extras, although in retrospect, it might have been better to get her a watch, or makeup.) Val hatched but only a few months later the two of them began to be stalked by someone named Fredrick who was apparently after Val. Erica tried to run for it and was almost caught when Val teleported them to Ditto Town at the last possible second.
Since arriving, Erica hasn't done much except look for a job, meet Roj and Axe, and save the Phoenix Archer (although her involvement in that particular event isn’t clear to even the author.)
Stories Character has been in: Ditto Story 6-7
General Information
Name:
ValyatashaCharacter Nicknames or Titles: Val (Please call her this. I don’t know what I was thinking when I gave her that other name.)
Author: Aravanna
Character Information
Age: A little over two years old. She’s still a juvenile, although how juvenile is hard say since fairy dragons live anywhere between 60 and 150 years.
Gender: Female
Species: Fairy Dragon (very rare and often magical little critters they are.)
Hair/eye: No hair but she has bluish-grey skin and her butterfly wings have some violet and turquoise in them. Her eyes are blue.
Weight/height: Currently about 6 inches long with a 7 inch wing span. She only weighs about five ounces.
Distinct Markings: She's a miniature dragon with brilliant blue and purple butterfly wings. What more do you want?
Clothes and Other Accessories: None
Weapons: Her sharp little claws and teeth, and amounts of fire proportional to her tiny lungs.
Armor: Her scales, although they’re not much tougher than a lizard’s scales would be.
Residence: The Mansion
Occupation: Getting Erica into trouble and adventures, being a member of The Originality (bwa ha ha,) and exploring Ditto Town.
Mode of Transportation: Her wings and teleportation.
Overall Personality: Her personality is rather like a cat: independent, mischievous, curious, and proud. She's as intelligent as a human although she has no interest in most technology, and lacks common sense. She's bold and feisty in contrast to Erica, but is very loyal despite all of this.
Personality Flaws: See above
Hobbies: Teleporting, snooping, eating, and hunting small animals.
Likes/Dislikes: She likes Originality!, evening, crunchy beetles, being the center of attention, and making mischief. She dislikes the reality that most people are stronger and bigger then her. She also dislikes having to sit in one place too long and to her credit, she dislikes anything being treated cruelly and doesn't play with her food like cats do.
Long-term Goals: She doesn't really have any. Maybe to pull off an Originality attack like the world has never seen?
Skills: Making mischief
Magic Skills: Teleportation, although if you jump between worlds, there’s a chance that a something could go wrong and you’ll end up... well not in the world you’re aiming for. Erica doesn’t know this though. Breathing fire might be considered magical, or it might have a chemical basis. You’d have to ask Alex.
Family: Alex apparently owns a fairy dragon that’s her twin.
Friends: Erica and the Manipulator of the Mundane. She also kind of likes Roj and Axe.
Enemies: Same as Erica.
Short History: Valyantasha was given to Erica as an egg. She hatched, and was kept a secret until both of them were forced into Ditto Town.
Once in Ditto Town, Val set off the sprinkles at a Valentine's Ball, got in big trouble, and joined the Originals as a result. She's helped MM's hamsters on one sabotage mission which targeted Rider's room. She’s also been off on a TOP SECRET mission to rescue the Phoenix Archer. If you have any information on this event at all, feel free to contact me.

I started “painting” Val a while back but never quite got done. I’m terrified to try Erica since I’m awful at humans.
