Description

Hi there! This is my reference sheet, along with my characters' information for this awesome OCT: :iconlost-and-found-oct:

And click here to view Marifalla and Koko's non-competiting companion, Flior: [link]

Here's the cover: [link]

And the first page of my audition: [link]

•Name: Marifalla (Mayr-EE-fall-uh)
•Alias/Nickname: Mari, Mair (only her sister, Flior, calls her these names), Ugly, Fatty, Fatso, Knub-Tail, etc. (Feel free to have your character call her whatever name you wish).
•Age: 17 (Her species age at the same rate as humans).
•Gender: Female.
•Species: Courta Aurapur (a species created by me, so no stealing! Ha ha! Get it?).
•What was stolen: Her beauty (which is a HUGE deal in her world).
•Abilities: She will develop the ability to sing. I know, I know--singing?! Seriously!? Yep. Marifalla will be able to literally use her voice as a weapon, an extension of herself. It looks like willow wisp, the same blue as her past eyes, leaving behind trails. Yet, it has the capability to whack rivals. Think of it as a weapon like a wooden staff or a wooden sword. This means while her voice can't slash open an opponent, she can still cause damage by thwacking them. IF MARIFALLA AND KOKO DO NOT COOPERATE, THEY CANNOT USE THIS ABILITY.
•Physical Strengths: After she became ugly, she developed long, tapered claws and the powerful teeth of canines. Her sense of smell is also now quite keen in her ugly form. Her abundant weight can be used to knock down foes.
•Physical Weaknesses: Her eyesight is now poor, and her massive, bulky body can only produce slow movements. In addition, she has developed back problems from her newly-acquired hunchback. Since she doesn't have a tail and doesn't have any toes, her balance is quite awful. It doesn't help that once she has fallen down, it is very difficult for her to get back up again.
•Height/Weight: Back when she harbored her beauty, she was about the size and weight of a large wolf. Without her alluring appearance, she has blown up to about the weight and height of a full-grown male black bear. She is 262 pounds. From the ground to her shoulder, she is about 3.5 feet tall.
•Personality: From the moment of her birth, Marifalla’s parents spotted potential for her as Prince Rehobeth’s wife. It is because of the twisted way of her world, Marifalla was brainwashed into thinking beauty and being the future queen of her country was all that mattered in life. Naturally, this didn’t leave much room for personality development. Growing up, she was quiet, just mindlessly soaking up all the lessons given to her to achieve her goals. She would always just flash that silent, confident smile of hers. However, behind that self-assured beam, there was a shy aurapur with low self-confidence. This Marifalla is spotlighted after the Thief steals her beauty. She is soft-spoken and in reality, doesn’t have the characteristics of a leader. She is easy-going and can never obtain control of a situation. She was never truly a bad person just because she was only obsessed with beauty--it was the world she grew up in.
•History: Born on the planet Perdidia, a world whose people only care about physical appearances and statuses, Marifalla had been raised to think as the rest of the aurapurs do. Her only goals in life were to become more beautiful than anyone else and to go from a Two-Tail to a Three-Tail by marrying Prince Rehobeth. In this world, your status is represented by how many tails you have (three tails for royalty, two tails for wealthy/upper middle class, one tail for middle class, and no tail for the poor people. Also, the more tails you have, the more beautiful you’re considered). So, naturally, Marifalla knew her dreams could come true by marrying the prince. For her whole life, Marifalla, her family, and hired aurapurs had been preparing Marifalla for Rehobeth’s paw in marriage, raising her like a princess. She even became a famous model. After Marifalla won the honor of being the most beautiful aurapur in all the lands, she was engaged to the prince. The story begins at their wedding.
•Other: Her hearing is like that of a human’s, since her flower-like ears are similar to our own. Not exactly a weakness, but it’s not the best, either. Also, music is nearly entirely obsolete in her world. They don’t concern themselves with it because they are too focused on their appearances. The only music that remains are boring, repetitive tunes. Still, even before she discovered singing, Marifalla enjoyed listening to the lovely sounds produced by animals, like the hum-like flapping of the hummingbirds and the choir of howling wolves. Also, Koko, her heart that is in the form of a butterfly (well, now a moth) and is an external structure attached to the left side of her chest. That means one wrong move and an especially nasty opponent could rip Koko off--resulting in Marifalla’s death. You win some and lose some, I guess.
•Likes: Beauty, thinking about her goals, and listening to animals.
•Dislikes: Being ugly, the Thief, working as a team, and when Koko yells at her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

•Name: Koko (KOH-koh)
•Alias/Nickname: You can make up one... if you dare...
•Age: 17 (Since she is Marifalla’s heart).
•Gender: Considered female, although hearts don’t possess genders.
•Species: She doesn’t have a species, since she is a special type of heart exclusive to the Courta Aurapur species. However, she resembled a butterfly when she was beautiful. She now looks like a moth.
•What was stolen: Her beauty was stolen along with Marifalla’s.
•Abilities: Koko also possesses control over Marifalla's physical voice. Does this make them more powerful? I'm afraid not. You see, the way their control over this power works is like two people in a single driver's seat fighting over the wheel while the car is in motion. Their power has two controls when it would actually function more efficiently with one. However, if they work together, Marifalla’s and Koko’s will harmonize in their singing, allowing them to actually stand a chance in a fight. However, the two tend to fight a lot... IF MARIFALLA AND KOKO DO NOT COOPERATE, THEY CAN'T USE THIS ABILITY.
•Physical Strengths: She has a marvelous sense of smell, as moths do.
•Physical Weaknesses: She isn’t very strong. She can’t move, since she is rooted to Marifalla’s chest, being her heart. She can wiggle and twist around a bit, but not much else.
•Height/Weight: I’m not exactly sure... probably the size of a large moth. Just refer to her size relative to Marifalla’s in the references I drew.
•Personality: Koko has the personality of someone with a chip on their shoulder. A deep chip. Back when she still had her beauty, Koko relished in the pampering given to Marifalla (and herself, of course!). She was relatively quiet then like Marifalla was, too busy being treated like a princess, even though she was more in tune with the world around her than Marifalla was. However, as a moth, Koko’s true colors were revealed. She is a candid moth who is not particularly pleased with Marifalla’s beauty being stolen. She has a dry, straightforward type of humor, complete with a mouth that spouts many varieties of derogatory terms (don’t worry--I’ll cover those up). She seeks to annoy and outsmart Marifalla at every opportunity. Think of her as Navi from the Legend of Zelda series with a potty mouth.
•History: Being an organ of Marifalla’s, and therefore unable to move, Koko and her host’s histories intertwine. She was a quiet, yet an observant butterfly heart. When the Thief stole Marifalla’s beauty, Koko’s own beauty was stolen along with it, altering her form from a beautiful butterfly to a plain and stubborn moth. Koko blames this on Marifalla and makes that exceedingly clear.
•Other: She’s Marifalla’s heart, yet she can speak (and speaks she does)! She is also considered a competing character.
•Likes: Her butterfly form, getting on Marifalla’s last nerve, beauty, being the best, being pampered, hearts, flowers, pleasant aromas, and... not much else.
•Dislikes: Marifalla, Flior, Kilwin, the Thief, anything that has to do with being ugly, working as a team, not getting her way, being ignored, situations she can’t control, being Marifalla’s heart, being weak, bad smells, being a moth, wilted flowers, when Marifalla doesn’t listen to her, foods that are too sweet or spicy... basically everything.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FINALLY! I am FINALLY submitting my character references for LaF!! I found out about this intriguing OCT back when it came out in April. Due to my life being quite hectic over these past months, I have been unable to complete this until now. At, least everything should be calmer now.

I hope you like my characters Marifalla and Koko! I can’t wait to no longer have a life and participate in this OCT! (My first OCT, by the way!) Wish me luck!

And judges, one last important piece of information I have to mention: I will be submitting a reference for Flior (Marifalla’s sister) as soon as I can. She will be a non-competing companion.

And at last, thanks to all those who helped me with this in some way: Dad, Grandpa, and Miirik here on deviantART, who is, in fact, competing in LaF with her character Allony. Check out her work! [link] Thanks for the advice, Miirik! :D
