Egg: The egg is the inital stage of the fuchse. This is how you will see them in a flatsale. However, once they know who their owner is, they immediatly want to join the world and will come to you hatched.
Fluff ball: Also affectionatly known as the "fluff ball with teeth." In this stage they are quite young and haven't yet developed the ability to talk very well. Some words come to them easily; others will not. As they grow older, they'll become more and more able. Right now, they can probably fit in your cupped hands. Their magic becomes evident and rather erratic.
At least two (2) weeks.
Child/teen: They've learned to speak though perhaps sometimes you wish they'd not. Their moods swing more than a pendulum, and it only gets worse as they grow older. At this stage, they're starting to form attachments with other fuchse and stand almost as tall as one's knee. Abilities should have been learned how to be handled.
At least two (2) weeks.
Adult: They're all grown up and not a moment too soon. Their moods have stopped swinging so much. Socialising is important to a well developed fuchse, though the extent of that socialization is dependant upon their personalities. They stand midway between one's knee and one's waist, and have pretty much fully mastered their abilites.
Personalities
Spring: Springs are usually shy and quiet, possibly a bit indrawn. They are usually the more artistic of the bunch as well.
Summer: Summers are bright and peppy and hyper and bouncy. Heavens help anyone who wants to be sullen around a Summer. They tend towards being the most social fuchse, as well as what one might consider warriors, and are interested in everything they can possibly be, though sometimes their attention spans might be a little sh-- OOoh, shiny object!
Fall:Falls are old souls, usually taking the time to think before they act, unlike the impulsive summers. Smart as a whip, usually, as well. They are slightly more reserved than summers, though not as much as the Winters and Springs.
Winter: Winters are the most indrawn social recluses of the lot. That's not to say that they hate everyone and have no friends; rather, they're just harder to get to know as there's a certain inborn distrust of things familiar. However, winters do tend to have a greater control over their ability though are usually slightly slower than the others to grow.
Alignments
North: A northern alignment is one of the most common, as the north is generally regarded as the Atmosphere Controls. This means they can control wind, water, lightning, etc. Everything except fire.
East: The eastern alignment is associated with Life. Those who can grow plants, heal, or talk with all animals are aligned to the east.
South: South controls Fire. Any fuchse with fire abilities has a southern alignment. No ifs ands or buts.
West: Not much is known about the west. Those with psychic abilities and those other intangible abilities are found with this alignment.
