Get the egril mug.What is an Erilyn you may ask? Erilyn is their own species. When an Erilyn appears, they do not categorize people as bad or good, unless the person did something to them privately. They can be scary and bewildered if you cross their boundaries. They are easily excited and they can become very happy. Erilyn's are rare to find as it is hard to find species of this kind all over the world. They are very private: they hide their emotions and opinions unless asked for. They like to be alone and independent, because they don't give a shit of what others do. They are found attractive, kind, and very loyal. If you break Erilyn's trust, they put you in the background: forgotten and left in the dust to the point they don't care, yet they will treat you like a person, but never a friend. They have intelligence to observe and sometime's act stupid to get a certain reaction out of people. They love humor. Which is why they're to happy and almost seem "very high." They play around a lot. They are easy to cheer up when they're down. They are the misunderstood species. They are the most considerate people, yet people rarely thank them. They waste their precious time, money, and care on them. So, when you meet an Erilyn, watch how considerate they became if they feel they can trust you. The species of Erilyn's continue to grow as they are energetic and happy. But most of all mysterious! These private beings have things unheard and rarely heard by few. Erilyn is the most precious person.
