Months
Morning Star
(January)
A new beginning for the land, where the earth begins a new day, a new year, a new growth period; it's the time of rebirth.
Those born within Morning Star are independent. With their rather high intelligence, they are able to create rather original ideas; however, due to being so independent, they have trouble working with others and tend to be more aloof. They may be shy and quiet, as they often need time alone, though they can adapt to more energetic situations. At times their temper can be similar to the rays during Sun' Peak, temperamental and emotional.
Blue Dawn
(February)
The cold mornings arrive within Primordial, with the promise of Winter's end.
Gentle as a butterfly, they deeply care for others and they're rather in tune with the emotions and well-being of others. They can be rather compassionate, and being as understanding as they are, they like to give advice freely. Those within Blue Dawn are well acquainted with the fine arts, as they enjoy expressing their deepest desires through self-created media. Their compassionate and gentle nature stems from their low self-esteem. These individuals have a longing for friends, but this makes them all too trusting and easily fooled.
First Root
(March - Spring Equinox)
The cold snow melts with the greetings of a lighter morning, and the promise of a gentle and green spring.
Courageous and open-minded, they are always looking for something to do and have determination needed to see projects through. Their passion pushes them through the hardest of tasks; however, they are rather impatient, almost aggressive when it comes to pet projects. Their desire for victory is quite strong, making them very impulsive. They are normally the one's who go head-first into danger.
Rainsong
(April)
Now greeted with a warmer morning, the season warms the land to encourage the blooming of flowers and leaves - Spring has begun.
Steadfast, patient, and practical, those born in this season are grounded individuals that are known for their trustworthiness. Naturally down-to-earth, they see things at a more realistic scale; however, this makes them incredibly stubborn. They tend to be rather set in their ways, almost completely uncompromising when it comes to their motivations.
Youth's Bloom
(May)
Spring is at its peak as the world is covered in glorious flora, fauna, and abundance resources. It's a rather abundant time of the year.
Those born in Youth's Bloom are quick-witted and very curious. They usually have quite the knack at learning and exploring different ideas. As they are rather expressive, many see them as very social and friendly. However, don't let this facade fool you, as they tend to wear a metaphorical mask to disguise their true intentions. Normally rather mischievous, they have a talent of causing trouble for others by hiding their mischievous nature.
Sun's Peak
(June - Summer Solstice)
Warmer mornings greet everyone as the sun stays longer in the sky. Summer greets the world with a scorching welcome.
High-spirited and charismatic, they can sway anyone with their loyalty, passion, and imagination, though they're somewhat temperamental. They tend to be slightly moody and unpredictable with fickle temper. Due to their rather sensitive behavior, they care deeply about the friends they do keep and can be quite sympathetic to others. It can be a bit of a challenge to get along with this season, as some may even use their own emotions to their advantage. This is why many tend to be wary of those born in Sun's Peak.
Thunderheart
(July)
To calm the blistering days, we are greeted with the promise of stronger rains, and the last peak of green flora.
They are passionate, cheerful, and humorous individuals with a heart of gold. Many love to be around them because of their bright spirit, though it sometimes feeds their ego and self-centered nature. Those who are born in this season should be warned to not let their accomplishments go to their heads, or else their year will end on a sour note.
Flamefall
(August)
The falling of leaves signals the changing of seasons and the world turns orange and red, almost like fire falling from the skies.
Intuitive and careful, those born in Flamefall have an eye for the smallest of details, making them valued and dedicated workers; however, due to their secretive and introverted nature, their actions speak louder then their words. They are intelligent, as they have a deep understanding of the world around them due to their keen eyes. Thanks to their shy nature, they tend to be more passive, as speaking out isn't one of the strongest points they have. Once someone gets to know these individuals, one can appreciate their kindness, loyalty, and creativity.
Last Root
(September - Autumn Equinox)
All the flora returns to the earth as the land prepares for the seasons ahead.
Fair-minded, and graceful, they prefer to hear everyone's story before taking sides. Be warned, however: although they are unbiased, those born in Last Root are very indecisive and have trouble deciding on the right choices. They tend to be wishy-washy about choosing sides, but heed their words when they do attempt to choose, as being thoughtful and understanding is a strong suit of theirs.
Moonshade
(October)
The moon governs the skies more as the sun hides away for a longer time each day.
They are known for being true friends, as they are always there for you, especially in times of need. They always seem to be around, having eyes and ears all over, and always know about the situations around them. Although they are good at keeping secrets, they tend to be distrustful, thanks to jealousy and fierce temper. Those born in Moonshade are tricky folks, as their passionate overview covers their more sly side.
Frostsong
(November)
A silence sweeps the land as the frost coats the world and its inhabitants.
Those born in this month try to give more then they can before the year ends end; while these users try to be generous, they give far more then they can afford, causing problems later. Though they have good humor and charisma to spare, they tend to say anything, no matter how undiplomatic. They are prone to not following their own words, though this is just another way they express their freedom.
Setting Star
(December - Winter Solstice)
The end, and the beginning. People let loose bad ties so they can start anew next season.
Those born within the month are usually overly serious and uncompromising, as they don't take their responsibilities lightly and have a great dedication to their tasks. They are masters at self control, as well as their ability to lead the way with a rather solid planning. Much unlike the new season up ahead, they have trouble starting anew, often holding onto the last moments. They are headstrong individuals, and they believe that they know what is best. They always try to utilize everything to their best ability, making them adaptable.
