Once upon a time, in the pinkisk land of TirNaSnog, there lived a certain noble known by the name of Tonnage. Tonnage was very outgoing; all of the nobles from all of the lands had had an encounter with her, as she enjoyed telling all who would listen how much of a do-gooder she was.

Tonnage was, however, unsurprisingly unhappy with her status in TirNaSnog, for she truly wished to move to the land of Dorkfae. She had, at one time in the distant and murky past, visited that land, and a fondness for it had grown in her heart. What had probably happened was that Arantia's vast magicks had ensnared the little mind of Tonnage, but of course that is too terrible of a thought to bear!

Tonnage was not entirely welcome in Dorkfae, for the Dorks there were a bit uptight and did not like anyone too cuddly in their territory, and so, after a brief and not too bloody altercation in which the Dorks told Tonnage exactly what they thought of her, Tonnage removed herself from Dorkfae in a huff.

Tonnage was not entirely sure why she had left that land, but the thought that she could be disliked anywhere stewed in the mind of Tonnage for months, until one day she came to a conclusion that satisfied her, at which point she made sure to tell everyone the *real* reason she had left the twisted realm of Dorkfae.

Tonnage let rip with a proclamation that she was entirely too much of a Dork for the other Dorks to cope with, and that they, being jealous of her, had chased her from their land. The Dorks, upon learning of this proclamation, laughed and laughed until they could scarcley breathe, many of them turning blue in the face and falling over from the stress.

Arantia herself determined to show Tonnage what it takes to be a true Dork, and sent forth one of her famous rants into the ethers. This rant frightened the fluffy Tonnage so badly that it was quite a while before she was heard from again. During this blessed respite, the Dorks managed to pick themselves up from the floor and threw a huge party to celebrate her disappearance, for to be quite honest, they were in need of a good party anyway.
