alright, great! As I said, you can do anything that you think looks good, but I have a few guidelines in mind? This would be for both the pet pages and the profile.
backgrounds:
I want something that looks vaguely wallpaper-y. like, for a child's room. I like thick stripes. preferably either beige or blue or both.
What I want:
a box right in the middle for the story text with a small toy graphic above it or around it. (for example, the toy soldier that I already have up there).
Colours:
I do have some colour palettes in mind though, or something along these lines:

Fonts:
And here are some ideas for fonts I have in mind:
The Girl Next Door
Cardo
Josefin Sans
Reenie Beanie
Stalemate
Transitions: (for the profile)
directly to the right of the box in the middle, I'd like a couple little semi-transparent boxes with links for alerts, my showroom, my rancher and my gallery, that turn opaque when you hover over them.
