Appearance

Physical Description

Thin and wiry physique, though about as dexterous as a rock. Almost always a prehensile tail that denotes emotions. Very colorful at all times, rarely blending in with the world around them. Dreamy cloud-like dotting or tiger stripes, as well as any other animalistic kind of markings.

Body Features

Forearms and calves tend to be covered in thicker fur/feathers or have larger claws. Wings sometimes sprout from the body, but do not aid in flight. Horns usually take the shape of animal horns, most often akin to deer, goats and antelopes.

Facial Features

Soba's ears are always large and hard to miss, no matter if they take the shape of fins, bat or dog ears.

Identifying Characteristics

A mask of red cherry wood that presses flat against its face. Two smooth, round eye holes have been carved out of the plank. They seem so have an unpenetrable, warm darkness behind them. They are never seen without this mask.

Physical quirks

Their fur/skin/scales tend to shift in color according to their emotions, usually manifesting in cloudy textures and gradients. Soba usually keeps her back very straight, often towering over people. They alternate between bipedalism and quadrupedalism at will.

Apparel & Accessories

Dark blue wrappings around several of its limbs, some wooden plates on his non-dominant arm for blocking. a skirt of fine fabric with a floral pattern wrapped around her middle. Bound chest.

Mentality

Education

No proper systemic education that they know of. As a child of nature and wild magic, they study both at their own pace. They always have a book with them, implying some degree of literacy.

Employment

They offered an elderly woman berries once and she tried to pay them. Soba did not accept. They regularly bring ingredients for potions to Aidis. There is also no payment involved.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Soba considers their rat friends a very large achievement.

Failures & Embarrassments

Attempted to extract venom from a snake once, only to be bitten. Got treated by Aidis, and humbled as much as an oblivious person can be.
Soba is not aware of many social taboos, and as a result of this they have overstepped in several social settings. Asking people things they do not want to be asked, or coming into public houses smelling like dirt and without proper clothes.

Intellectual Characteristics

Soba is thoughtful, but not smart. They perceive things and think through them with great care, but do not stop to consider what they imply in the bigger picture. Their mind is a calm, quiet thing. This is why, when anger grips them, it is all-consuming. It triumphs over sense and reason, and feeds on itself to become an even bigger, angrier beast. Anger is the one thing Soba does not know how to think through.

Morality & Philosophy

Morality is a fickle subject. To Soba, laws are contradictory to nature. If it is within nature, then it cannot be evil. Is a black widow evil for killing her mate? Are parasites evil for infesting another creature? No. Soba can excuse murder, as a treat

person.sexuality

Soba understands nature and urges and feelings. They do not care much about differentiating which direction these variables go.

person.gender_identity

Gender is more of a suggestion to Soba than anything concrete. They have not spent much time evaluating it, and do not grasp the concept itself. They simply are what they are. If anything, they associate identity with a certain kind of void, a nonexistent thing that does not exist.

Personality

Motivation

To understand oneself is to know why you are alive. Soba knows nothing, and wants to know everything. They do not have to understand everything, but at least knowing will give them a starting point. When it comes to themself, though, they are willing to go to the ends of the earth to understand what makes up the creature that is Soba. The one question that no one seems to be able to answer is who or what Soba is. It's getting frustrating not having an answer themself.

Likes & Dislikes

Cannot stand the taste of meat, but will eat it if need be. Likes the sun and the woods, and dislikes darkness. Loves bugs and vermin. Has a fear of the deep ocean.

Virtues & Personality perks

Always willing to hear someone out and always down for some shenanigans. They will give away all of their belongings if someone were to ask for it.

Vices & Personality flaws

Wrath. Anger is all-consuming to Soba. Tell them a plan and they will go the opposite direction. Danger means very little to them, as they cannot comprehend the consequences of those decisions. If one were to pose two options to Soba, one giving Soba the chance to learn something about themself/their past, and the other being one of the party members being harmed, it would not be a difficult choice for Soba.

Personality Quirks

Soba refers to themself in the third person. Before being known as Soba, they called themself "This one." The only reason they have a name is because people insisted they need one.

Hygiene

You know how cats clean themselves? yeah

Social

Current Residence

A little hiding place with rats

Contacts & Relations

Aidis is an acquaintance. Soba has brought them many peculiar ingredients for potions, and Aidis has patched them up before.

Wealth & Financial state

what's money?

Family Ties

None. Desperately wishes there had been something like this, though. From the way they have watched mothers care for their children, and felt deep envy. Soba wants to have someone who loves them unconditionally like this as well, but does not understand why they did not get that. It is not fair.

Religious Views

Nature and the concept of magic itself is a far more impactful force than gods are. The shadow of a tree or a breeze can be an omen, we just have to know what meanings to look for when they hit us. Deities may speak to us, but nature nurtures us.

Social Aptitude

Poor. People tend to underestimate them for this reason. They have quite the gentle, slow voice but do not understand social cues and many unwritten social rules.

Hobbies & Pets

Danger noodle in their pocket. Several bugs in their fur. Poetry is something they do daily.

Speech

Raspy, slightly high-pitched. Takes her time speaking, like there is no rush or hurry at all.
