Zodiac: Gemini

See characters in detail->http://www.deviantart.com/view/19168449/

For a series I'm doing starring Lilymudders as Zodiac signs! For this one, I opened two spaces for two different characters to sign up. Dapple and Alize are obviously very, very, different in appearance. Yet, they were to represent twins. So I experimented with some poses and came up with one that made them seem more 'as one' with each other to represent Gemini. Even if they don't look like twins, I still think they both look really pretty. They are cool characters.

Gemini: The Twins

Gemini is the third sign in the Zodiac. They are represented by two identical 'I's sitting side-by-side. They are governed by Mercury, shown by a cross and a 'horned' circle. They have the element of air.

Being governed by Mercury, the messenger planet, one should only assume that Gemini picks up in its nature. Gemini are often chatty. They are chiefs of communication and have a sharp fondness for gossip. Also, Gemini represents versatility, and opposite ends. One cannot know light without darkness, nor can they realize coldness unless they've experienced warmth. In this way, Gemini is a dual sign and they have both ups and downs. They are energetic and social, but also like to sit back and analyze, such goes for their motto, 'I Think'. They hold a lot of faith in others but little in themselves. They often depend on others, and mask their insecurity with sarcasm and ironic wit. They are said to represent the arms, the legs, and the lungs, organs that come in pairs and work together. Their colors are yellow and light blue.

"Those so born, then, become fond of discourse, those who work with letters and education, poetic, lovers of music, teachers of the use of the voice, capable in matters of household management, those who receive trust. They also become interpreters, those with an aptitude for commerce, critics of good and bad, prudent, curious, initiates in occult matters." (Vettius Valens, The Anthology, Book 1, pg 11. Translated by Robert Schmidt.)

Gemini is represented by Dapple's Dapple, and by Mai Tai's Alize. The characters and their designs belong exclusively to their creators. http://fanart.lionking.org/Artists/Dapple/
