Bio
Hello everyone. I'm Dutch, a mother of a 8-year old boy and I love both rp-ing and writing. Since May 2020 I'm one of the contests mods.
I started with writing Dutch stories in 2002, I was already 19 at that time. I joined a writing competition and that got me started. Soon I started to write down all the stories my over-active imagination came up with. I had my first forum rp experience in 2003 on a Dutch fantasy forum. While I continued to write, I stopped rp-ing when the particular rp and forum slowly died. In 2011 my love for rp's rekindled when I joined a site with a forum and I started to RP solely in English since that is the language of the site. This is also when I wrote my first story in English.
I've got a few 1x1 rp's going on this site and a couple more on another site. I've always been a fan of writing competitions and I joined a lot several of the ones that were hosted on this website. Now I get to host them myself and really enjoy that too.
When you come here to check if I'm online, know that even when I show as online I might not be able to respond to RP's. I open this site so that when I have time I can spend some time here, but I don't always end up with the time to do so.
If I haven't replied in a while, feel free to poke me. I don't ghost on purpose, sometimes I just forgetful and if I read your reply and accidentally closed the tab I might forget I was supposed to reply T_T

When Fenna returned to the camp she hadn't done as much exploring as she had wanted to do, but the time had been spent better. Mackenzie seemed back to her former self again. The others seemed to have kept busy as well and the camp looked like a decent camp already, one was even building a whole shelter. She glanced at the sky. It didn't seem like it would start to rain and the evening didn't seem too cold yet. She weighed the pros and cons of building a shelter and decided for herself it wasn't worth the effort, but who knew, maybe it'd start pouring halfway through the night and she'd regret the decision.
She listened to Zell's strategy and examined the figures he drew in the dirt. "That is a good strategy," she said to him. "When it's time for battle we should try to get into this formation. During travel, someone who can navigate the land should go first. I'm fairly good at recognising animal tracks and the likes, so there may be times I will go ahead of the group."
When the fish was done, Fenna grabbed a portion. It would take some time to get used to eating like this. Back home she'd have potatoes and vegetables with a bit of meat. Well, as long as they wouldn't have to eat bugs like Bear Gryllis, things would be fine. The rations contained some kind of crackers and she ate one with the fish.
"We should probably take turns keeping watch during the night," she commented while eating. "Maybe in pairs? It's a strange land after all, and who knows, maybe some others will be interested in that cube we have."

Name: Fenna Postma
Age: 31
Country on Earth: Netherlands - Fryslân
Appearance: with 1.72m and 75kg she has an average build for her height, somewhat on the lean site due to her muscle mass. She has long, light-brown hair and blue eyes. She dresses comfortably rather than fashionably and prefers earth tones over flashy colours. Her skin is light in colour, usually pale in the winter but with a tan in the summer.
Personality: Fenna is a easy-going and practical woman; she doesn't get angry easily but will give her opinion in a direct manner.
Brief Backstory: Fenna grew up on her parent's dairy farm with her brother and sister. She helped her parents take care of and milk the cows alongside her schoolwork. Her two main hobbies in clubs were horseriding, which she started at the age of 10, and fierljeppen (polevolting over a body of water) which she started when she was 15. She enjoyed going on walks with her brother and going bird-spotting with him.
After high school she followed an education in the field of forest and nature management, and when she graduated she started working for the provincial department of the Federal Forest Service.
She is married and has two children, a 6-year old boy and a 3-year old girl. Her husband is a flaconer and she helps him take care of his birds - they met at one of his shows.
Adventurer Class: Ranger
Starting Common Gear: Cloak, leather armour, 2 daggers, a longbow, belt satchel
Special item: An Enchanted Polevaulting Spear. This weapon has the unique ability to extend or retract in length anywhere from 1 metre to 5 metres, at the user's whim.

Welcome to the Voting and Feedback round for MF&P#10!
Voting and Feedback guidelines
- Please take your time to read through all the entries before voting for your favourite work. The reasons you base your vote on are up to you, as long the vote isn’t based on whether or not you like the author or because you RP together.
It would be nice if you could share why you voted for a specific work. - Giving feedback is optional but highly encouraged. When giving feedback you should be respectful and constructive. It’s good to point out any flaws or the things you feel could be improved or why you didn't like something, but don’t be mean.
Make sure to point out what you liked or what appreciated in the entry too. - Contestants may (and are encouraged to) vote and/or give feedback for the other entries but shouldn’t vote for their own entry. If contestants wish to withhold a vote and only give feedback, that is good too.
- The entries are anonymous unless the writer asked for having their name added. That being said, writers may claim their work at any time during or after the voting period.
- The entry with the most votes will win, but in case of a tie a Contest Mod will cast the tie-breaker vote.
- You can vote for entries and post your feedback in this thread, but if you rather have your vote and/or feedback be anonymous you can PM it to @Calle.
- The voting period deadline is March 17th, 10:00 CET, which is 9:00 server time (both times are in a.m.).

When the sound of a bird of prey reached Fenna's ears she turned to look at it. Was it hunting? There was something odd about its behaviour. Instead of flying away from them, it flew down and landed on a tree. "Hello there," Fenna said as she examined it. There was no doubt in her mind; this was the same falcon as back in the village, who had saved her from a skeleton. Instinctively she held out her arm and the falcon took the invitation.
"Aren't you a beautiful thing," she complimented the bird as she gazed into the intelligent eyes. She turned to Mackenzie, but couldn't answer the question. She didn't know how she did it, and maybe she hadn't done anything, but had the bird chosen her for whatever reason? But there was an unmistakable link now. She turned the bird to the younger woman so she could admire it from closer, and the falcon allowed her to touch its feathers.
The falcon remained with them for a while, but as they neared the camping site Fenna told it to go hunt before it would be too dark for it. She watched it fly into the sky, circle the area and then broaden its search for prey.
Fenna stopped on the area they would be camping and glanced around with her hands on her hips. This was a good place for a camp.

Lytse nodded. "Life certainly got eventful since we met Niccia, didn't it?" he asked Michael, who laughed at his Pokémon's comment.
"That is true," he said and he wrapped an arm around Niccia. "And I wouldn't have it any other way," he added.
"This is Ho-oh," Lytse said, nodding to Netherlu, who waved. "The feather came from him." Lytse summarized what Netherlu had told him for Michael, so he too understood how he had gotten the rainbow flames.
"I would still need to provide proof," Andy said. "They wouldn't just take my word for a gathering of legendary Pokémon from all regions. That's really a case of "pictures or it didn't happen". They would believe legendary Pokémon from the same region meeting each other." He paused. "Speaking about the dark Darkrai... he seems to want Niccia, and my nephew has been taken by him once, and we were able to stop a second attempt. Do you have anything that could help him stay out of Darkrai's grasp?"
Harcu followed Gavin's gaze and rubbed his chin. "Truthfully, I wouldn't put it past father to try and preserve the peace through sacrifice. Although, he could also opt to replace the current Darkrai with a new one if the problem is Darkrai. I don't have any knowledge about any of his plans, or insight in what solutions he may be fabricating."
Jirachi nodded to Belle. "Yes! She is over there!" he pointed to where the new Mewtwo was seated. "She hasn't really mingled much, but it's all very new for her. She's prettier than the old Mewtwo..." He lowered his voice and grinned. "But don't tell Gavin I said that."
