Look and Tremble, for a New Competitor Approaches!

The new competitor is none other than Slate, the snake-charmer of the Guides!

At an astonishing height of 9 inches and a base color of chalk, 102 colors away, she has a score of -93! She squats down, eyes fixed on a certain spot in the snow, and readies her haunches, wiggling once to get ready. She leaps, and falls... directly on top of the snow. She sits there, on top of the snow, having not even broke through a centimeter. Staring as if she would suddenly elongate and complete her pounce into the snow.

A truly amazing song starts playing.

Spotted Elk watches the little Zerda make possibly the cutest attempt at mousing she's ever seen. Bringing her claws up, she applauds. "A truly lovely performance, Slate! Bravo, bravo!" She cheers on the little guy, hoping to instill pride. Not every Zerda could show up in the midst of all these frightening, tall wolves.

Pausing in her discreet attempts at burrowing into the snow, Slate looks up towards Spotted Elk as she heard her call. "Why thank you! It was amazing, wasn't it?" she calls back, as one of her many snakes, this time a forest viper, hisses at a Volmyr attempting to approach, nipping when it didn't back down.

Roasted Seeds comes to compete for his pack. He isn't the tallest here which is very strange since he usually towers over others back home! He steels his nerves as he practices warm ups with some of the other competitors.

Irikah ruffles her wings, confident in her abilities, and sets her weapons aside for the competition - she stands at a whopping 72" and is a beautiful bronze color!
