Kia name: Sapphira

This young kia loves to spread joy to others during Pride Month.
How do they go about doing that?:
Throughout the start of the year, that is to say January to May, this little kia is hard at work painting rocks. She searches far and wide, aka the parks and trails near her home, for the "perfect" rocks to paint. These rocks are not perfect in the sense most think about, no. They are as unique as each individual surrounding them in. They come in all shapes and sizes, rough, smooth, cracked, and so on. She chooses them very carefully and a lot of thought is put into what will be put on them.

Each rock has a unique message, if it is big enough, and if it is not? It is covered in peace signs, smiley faces, and flags of all the sexualities. They have flowers and bugs, food, and pretty much anything you can think of on their surfaces. With each rock a water proof sticker is placed on the bottom. The stickers have words of kindness, statements such as "YOU matter, YOU are loved!", and pretty quotes on them.

When June comes along this Kiamara probably has a stockpile of hundreds of rocks ready to go to their new homes. Saph takes them and places them in gardens, she has a bag full of them on her at all times to hand out to random strangers, she leaves them in businesses for employees to find.

Her goal throughout pride month is to make those who feel unseen...seen. To know someone out there does care. To show just a little joy to her small part of the Kiamara world.

Kia name : Helena

Prompt :
From a very young age, Helena has loved celebrating Pride Month by using items she created herself.
For her, the most obvious example is her blend of flower petals, which she throws with great enthusiasm during parades like confetti.

Every flower was grown in Helena’s garden, from the seed stage all the way to blooming into beautiful flowers with vibrant colors. This garden, which now looks more like a meadow than an actual garden, is rather messy: the paths are partly hidden beneath tall grass, and there is no real logic to the arrangement of the plants.
If you ask Helena about it, the Kiamara will tell you that it gives the place a wild charm… though whether you can see the vision she has in mind is entirely up to you.

As for the flowers themselves, there are no restrictions on the varieties she uses. Roses, daisies, peonies… it does not matter to her, because the mix of different shapes and colors is the perfect way to represent Pride Month.

Then, on the eve of the parade, each flower is selected with great care: only the most mature blooms are chosen, even if a few petals are damaged. After all, nobody is perfect. Helena also makes sure to leave plenty of flowers behind for the bees and all the animals living in her garden.
Next, the young Kiamara places every petal into large buckets. With the help of her friends, these buckets are carried and loaded onto a cart.

And when the parade begins, Helena and her friends, riding together on their cart, joyfully toss handfuls of petals into the air, creating a rainbow-colored tidal wave, with petals caught in the hair and fur of the laughing participants.

To spread joy, Helena has created a sky filled with fragrant confetti drifting wherever the wind carries it.
