Dalgina stood before a pool of water, staring at her reflection. It wasn't much, plain dark brown eyes peeking out from beyond a curtain of long straight black hair. The rest of her body was dark as well, a soft glowing ebony. There was no color on her body anywhere. The only place where there was any color at all was on her neck where she wore the now collared stone and wood necklace from Aylu and the snowflake pendant she'd carved, one for each sibling so they'd always be close. The snowflake was rather dull and simple as well, nothing more than a rough outline of what she knew snow to look like, coming out from one of her first attempts at carving.
She looked down at her dark form. It allowed her to move around without being noticed, which was certainly a good thing. Dalgina didn't want too much attention. She looked like Papa too, a thought that made her tail wag. She still felt that she needed something more though. Something to reflect what she saw in the world. Something pretty. Glancing down Dalgina smiled as a small purple flower registered with her. Gently she picked it, sticking it in her hair. There! She leaned over, looking in the water again to see her reflection. The flower tumbled down, floating in the water. That wasn't what she wanted! Huffing a little Dalgina bent down to pick it up and try again.
