Cupid's Arrow

Cupid's Arrow is a character creation contest that relies on community collaboration as well as your own creativity.

This contest is "hosted" by Adora B. Cupid, a daughter of Cupid.

## How to Enter and Participate

Sign ups start by commenting on the contest page with a maximum of 2 (two) of your own Ever After High OCs that are looking for love (all kinds of love!). They can be of any gender and alignment (royal, rebel, ect.). For each character you list please pick a minimum of one of these types of relationships: **Romantic**, **Family**, or **Friend**. You may choose all or a combination of the three but **at least one** is needed. Please keep in mind that you need to be comfortable with someone else creating the other half of this relationship for you. For romantic relationships please include if your character is attracted to any specific gender(s) or types of people. For family relationships please state if there are any types of relations you do **not** want made for your character (ex. I don't want my character to have a sister). If this isn't a concern for you you don't have to include anything.

Here is a trusty sign up form to make things even easier:

After sign ups are over you will be assigned another person who signed up. Try not to let your assigned partner know right away so they get a bit of a surprise. You must choose a character they submitted, and based on the types of relationships they chose, you will create a new parter/family member/friend for them! This new character is all yours and can be whatever you want with whatever fairytale destiny you want. The end result is to have fun with character creation but also help our wiki community members to communicate with each other and enjoy our original characters together.

Once your character is done you may post to the wiki and share with others. Feel free to go ahead and edit your page as much as you want before the deadline. Once the deadline hits there is no more editing your page.

Now you and your fellow Mirror Portal user have a new pair of characters to have fun with, and there is another lovely relationship to grace the halls of Ever After High.

## How do you win?

The goal is to design the best type of person for your assigned partner's character. Something to keep in mind while designing your new character is what type of connection they have to your partner's existing character. Do they enjoy the same types of hobbies or opinions? How did they meet? More details are always better. Look through your assigned character's Mirror Portal page and really get to know them.

A completely filled to mostly filled character page is needed to score high in this contest.

While artwork is not required it is strongly encouraged. If no artwork is made for your character please leave a detailed description of their physical appearance on their page.

A poll will be made a day or two after the deadline. Users will be asked a few questions regarding how well each entry did in certain areas. The results of each question will be tallied up and the entry that succeeded in the majority of these aforementioned areas will be the winner. Two entries that also scored well will win second and third place. Any other remaining participants will earn participation shards.

## Prizes

The winners are determined by community votes.
