Xion Monro

Xion Monro, current age 22 as of 101RC

 

She is average height for a southern sergal of that age (assuming its 100RC) with no notable health issues or abnormality. She is a light tan colour southern sergal, with silvery grey expressive eyes. She has pink pads on her hands and feet, with dark grey claws. Her eyes she gets from her mother, and her figure more from her father's side of the family. She is slightly above average weight, but not enough to be classified as ‘fat’ or unhealthy.

 

Xion Monroe was born in the early part of the year 78RC..

 

Born to Mika Monro, and Verner Monro in a lower middle class area of south east Gold Ring to a loving and welcoming community of mixed eltus creatures. As a newborn she was sweet, curious and ‘talkative’ often merping and mewing so much, it felt like she was having a conversation with someone.

 

Her father, Verner, was born in 51RC. He is a dark red Southern Sergal, his family can be traced back far in Gold Ring’s history, mostly as merchants. He is a maintenance man and construction worker for a local theater where oftentimes Nevreans do stage shows, this is thought to be where she gets her love for seeing Nevrean stage shows, art and music. Her father is a member of the Vigilance committee. As a child Xion loved to see her father in his uniform, even if he was not being called upon. Seeing him like this made her feel safe, and like he was the strongest man in Gold Ring.

 

Her mother, Mika is a kind, welcoming woman. Younger than Verner, she was born in 61RC. She is a sandy colored southern Sergal, much like Xion. However it is believed that somewhere in her family, Mika has northern blood. It is possible her grandfather was of northern decent, but this is unclear. Mika loved to host neighborhood gatherings. She would bring everyone together for a potluck at least once a week, and everyone would stay up all night, telling stories, eating and drinking, and having fun. Mika is a very loving mother, often at night she would cradle and sing to Xion, a little off key. She would tell stories and stay with her if she was afraid, make her special deserts and playing games with her often. Mika is a teller for the local general store, and worked very hard through Xion’s childhood to make sure she had everything she needed to grow and thrive.

 

Mika and Verner are very close, and have been together since 75RC. They first met at a celebration in 73RC. Mika bumping into Verner and knocking his food over into his lap. He was not angry but it got them talking, and eventually got Verner to ask Mika out. Things quickly progressed, and the two found they were spending a lot more time together when they were not at work, or Verner serving on the vigilance committee. After 2 years of spending much time together they decided to move in together in 75RC and begin ‘dating’. 3 years later, a fuzzy baby sergal graced their lives.

 

Her parents are from the same area she currently lives in. Her family had no significant wealth but were able to scrape by comfortably enough. This area is where she remained among her friends and extended ‘family’ currently. She remains close with her parents to this day, as well as the people in the area she grew up in.

 

By 83RC, Xion had grown and begun to explore her world. She loved to see new things, new creatures and new places. She had a particular interest in Talyxian Stalkers, often asking them if she could “pet the kitty?” to which most of them did not mind. Xion was a picky eater at this age, only eating fish and unwilling to try most things until later in her life, with the exception of deserts. Xion loved sweets, and would do almost anything for a sweet, whether that be standing on her head, or bringing the trash out. Often she would be out playing with her friends, exploring and running around the center of the town, to explore shops and see the others shopping.

 

As she grew and began school, she became more careful. Once the harsh reality that school taught her set in, she stopped going out alone and stopped talking to as many strangers as she once did. She was more careful in her everyday life, yet also learned many important skills in school. One of which she would carry with her and turn into a career for herself. As harsh of a reality check as school brought, it also brought with it new friends and new experiences. This is where she met her life long friend Shiro, the agudner.

 

The two could often be found spending their days together, having sleepovers with each other and a few other friends, going to festivals or playing games. Xion would often make clothing for Shiro, using him to practice her trade of choice. Due to the lack of money the two had, she would often repurpose old articles of clothing and fabric items, such as bed sheets or blankets, into new, more pricey looking garments for her friend. Everything she did was hand sewn, a skill she worked hard at perfecting, done with special gloves Shiro made for her to help her better work with a needle. Often he would have to thread needles for her, and assist her in small things during her work.

 

As she grew in school, she found ways to earn small amounts of cevia. She would often tell her mother that one day she’d be rich, and move them all out to the north west section of Gold Ring. She rarely spent any of the small savings she had, determined to follow through with her plan. She hid her cevia bank under one of her many, many pillows. She never told anyone about the cevia bank, only her parents and Shiro.

 

In the year 89RC, for her birthday her parents, with the help of their friends and family, and Shiro surprised her with a used sewing machine. Shiro had fixed it up and got it working correctly, even cleaning it up physically so she had something nice to work on. The young adult was so grateful it brought her to tears. From this point Xion decided she will turn sewing into her career, using this skill to make money and earn a living. The task both brings her joy and money.

 

In 90RC while traveling to visit the shores of ColVilous lake for Shiro’s birthday, she saw many new things, including a motorized scooter. The freedom these contraptions seemed to bring their operators enthralled her, and set her mind soaring. Oh, what she could do with something like that. This idea would stick with her through her trip, and for some time to come. Thankfully, her friend did not mind and encouraged her.

 

In 96RC, Xion and Shiro both decided to begin looking for places to live. They knew they wanted to live together, if not next to each other. After searching for places they could afford, and finding that most of the places they could afford were not in the best area of the city, they found 2 places right next to each other. This way they may be close, and have enough space for both of their belongings. Their plan was that Xion’s home would usually be used for making clothes and Shiro, who by now had begun to work as an engineer, would be the place where the two spent time together or entertained. Around this time Xion had also been approved by the city government to begin doing business in the city of Gold Ring. She was official now and making money.

 

In 99RC, a family of sergals moved in near her and Shiro. The family had just had a newborn and were very eager to meet everyone in the area. Xion was very welcoming to the family, making them a blanket for their newborn, which she adored. After a short while, Xion would often go to visit the family and be allowed to hold and play with the baby sergal as they all spent time together. Xion would soon after this begin to host get-togethers for all her friends and family in either her or Shiro’s home. As in her childhood, in her parents home, she would have food, music, laughs and games. If the family of sergals could make it, the baby would often be seen being held by Xion, to the parents delight. Since the first time she’d seen the little fuzz ball she wanted to one day have her own baby one day.

 

The year 100RC, to aid in her business dealings Xion now has a portable fax machine. She communicates with many others with this device, with the help of Shiro. Xion is bad with technology. She does her best, but often she will have trouble with the fax machine, or her sewing machine and her beloved friend Shiro is always right there to assist her. While her business does not make her much money, she is able to afford to live and buy a few things she wants. She travels to ColVilous lake every year now with Shiro for his birthday, and occasionally will go see a Nevrean stage show in town. Xion greatly enjoys seeing shows, having a deep admiration for the beauty of the male Nevreans and their dancing. The shows make her feel deep emotion, watching their choreography and graceful movements is one of her favorite leisure activities.

 

Xion also enjoys studying the history of Gold Ring, her people and seeing artifacts of older times. She is fascinated by stories told by those older creatures who either remember the times of General Rain, and the events of 33RC or who’s families had gone through it, mostly due to the history interesting her as well as her desire to understand what others have gone through to bring the world to where it is today. She also enjoys seeing the armors and items of that time in history, when she can.

 

For her birthday in 100RC, Shiro had organized a surprise for the kind sergal. Conspiring with their friends and her family, and after sneaking in to count the cevia in the bank under her pillows in her home, he was able to gather enough cevia so she could afford a motorized scooter. After one night, the night before her birthday, the two had sat down to enjoy mochi candy while enjoying the cool night air. The agudner struck up a conversation about the motorized scooter they had seen in the city on their way to ColVilous lake, to which Xion had excitedly begun to talk with him about the memory. He then surprised her with a small bag filled with enough cevia to complete her monetary goal to afford one. She had been close… But not close enough to afford it on her own. Finally, on her birthday, after years and years of saving cevia, she was able to purchase a motorized scooter. Shiro would teach her to operate and ride the scooter, as well as keep it maintained for her.

 

Xion was beyond thrilled. Finally, she could travel to make clothes and things for people outside of her immediate area. When she rides the scooter, she feels an immense sense of freedom, and love for her friends and family who helped her to finally get one.

 

Currently Xion does not have her own family. Xion remains close with her parents and all of those  who helped raise her, as well as her new friends where she currently lives. Xion, who has since learned not to be afraid of the world, loves to talk to strangers and meet new people in the city, but always is cautious. She often goes to stage shows, and has started to travel to other places in Gold Ring to see more of the world. One day she plans to venture out of Gold Ring to see more of the world, but has not as of yet. Xion has lately been experimenting with fur dyes, usually mild things, such as bright, vibrant colours on the tip of her tail, or a small, purple design under her left eye. This is a rare thing for her, but on occasion she will do it.
