Initially Ella found fire crabs to be quite scary. Mostly because they reminded her of Blast-ended Skrewts, which she was not a fan of. And sure, having a fear of skrewts was a bit weird but still, they were frightening creatures. The fire crabs had grown on her, though. Especially having worked with a really nice one during class. And now she got to pick another one to work with! BEAM. And she had to think of a really awesome name and everything...which was a really important responsibility! The wrong name could scar the poor thing for life. That wouldn't be good.

Entering the sanctuary, the third year grinned. This place was seriously cool! And look at all the fire crabs! There were sooo many. How was she meant to choose? Biting her lip, she decided to take a walk around and look into all of the stalls. That was probably the best way to go about this.

As the small blonde walked around, she noticed several of the name tags already filled out. Meep! So people had already claimed a lot of the crabs, eh? She really needed to get on it. Continuing her walk, she stopped in front of a stall on the right side of the sanctuary, noting the small fire crab that looked quite lonely. D'awww. It didn't have a name yet, either. BEAM. This was totally the one for Ella.

"Hello, little one." Ella said, entering the stall but not getting too close. She didn't want to scare the fire crab or anything. "I'm Ella, Ella Bishop...and I'm going to be taking care of you for a while." And really good care, too. This little guy or girl was going to get lots of attention! "But you really need a proper name, yeah?" And she frowned slightly, trying to think of a really good one for her new friend. Hmmm... What about Pancake? ...Meh. That wasn't strong enough. Um... Snuggles? Eh, that didn't have enough OOMPH to it. BEAM. Taco! That was the perfect name! And Tacos were awesome and delicious and just...really cool. Taco was definitely the right choice. "From now on, you're Taco! I think it suits you nicely." Nod. Nod. Nod. "And I think we're going to get on really well, Taco!" Grin.

Walking back towards the entrance, Ella found the blank nametag on the stall door and took a quill from her bag. She began filling it out with a smile on her face, ready to claim Taco as her own...for now.
