Kira gave Ozzy one more soulful gaze before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath.

[color=a187be]"My mother....is an Echidna. That alone should tell you that I come from a big family."[/color], she began as stared off into the distance. [color=a187be]"As is common knowledge, the first child of an Echidna is always another Echidna. My eldest sister....Videl. She was...[/color]

A chuckle escaped her lips as a nostalgic smirk appeared on her visage.

[color=a187be]"She was every bit of the definition of 'big sister' and then some. Kind, caring, loving and supportive. Yet also firm, stern, fair, decisive and just [i]a little bit[/i] scary when she needed to be. She kinda had to be. By the time I came into the world, mom and dad already had six kids to take care of, so Videl had to step up as the 'third parent', as it were. She actually did a good job, too. Heh...I remember this one time when I was six, one of my older sisters, a werecat named Alaya, climbed a tree to chase a pretty butterfly that she saw. Naturally, upon realizing how high she was, she got scared and clamped down on the branch, calling out for us. Of course, we all came rushing to help, but then Videl stopped us. As we stood there wondering why she did that, she then slithered up the tree herself to where Alaya....and started singing. After a bit, Alaya started singing. Then I start singing. And then another sibling...and then another and another and another. Until we're all singing. So caught up in the singing, Videl managed to guide Alaya all the way down the tree, without lifting a single finger. It wasn't until her feet were on the ground and the singing stopped that Alaya realized she got herself down. 'Scary things stop being so scary when you think of something pleasant' is what Videl taught her that day. All of us, really. Things like that were what made her so loved in my family. So....so loved"[/color]
