Appearance

Physical Description

While tall for my kind, I am of average build compared to some of my kin, though there is something to be said for being able to use a bow from time to time.

Physical quirks

When in a new environment I try to simply watch the people first in an attempt to learn them. If there comes a time where I don't want to interact or get out of an uncomfortable situation I pretend that I can't speak that dialect of common, draconic, or dwarvish.

While not technically a quirk within my people, it was weird to learn that cleaning one's self the way we do, and doing it in public, was seen as a fopaux within other humanoid cultures which we quickly corrected.

Apparel & Accessories

My standard clothes match my fur, mostly, being black in color and of simple make. Layered on top of that is a very colorful long coat designed in random purple, green and red swirls.

My current backpack is of tanned and dyed leather, which I have carried with me as long as I can remember.

Mentality

Personal history

What is there to say about myself here? I have traveled with my family and members of my clan for all 27 Summers I have been on this world. We have lived among dwarves and dragonkin, and others as well, though I have not yet to pick up on other languages quite yet.

We have traveled over land, sea, and swamp alike and we currently have found ourselves in the land of Neverwinter.

Education

I don't know what is meant here. I learned from the elder that travels with us, as well as my parents, siblings, and friends.

I have picked up bits of magic from places I've been the tinkering and woodcarving are things that have just come naturally to me, though it had taken time for me to learn.

I had learned how to use tools to pick locks if only to help others issues surrounding boxes or doors that they lost the keys to or that had become rusted or tricky over time.

Employment

As said above, I try and help people.

I make wooden eat / cookware, small toys and figures, sculptures, lockboxes, and even furniture from time to time.

I have been known to perform, with my clan for room and board and other needs.

Accomplishments & Achievements

I am unsure? I suppose the ability to combine the arcane with the mundane and continue to improve my ability to do so.

I am dabbling in alchemy at the moment and we'll see how that progresses.

Failures & Embarrassments

This touches a bit into the next area. There was a time when my band was attacked by a pack of wolves and we lost of few of the younger members. I have vowed to never let that happen again.

Mental Trauma

When we lost Four Wonder and Patch in the Forest, it broken us, and myself. They were 3 and 4 Winters old. I found myself drawing into my woodwork and remained distant for at least 4 Summers.

Morality & Philosophy

It is simple:
* Protect those that need protecting.
* Help those that need helping.
* Be respectful and friendly to everyone and most people will be the same to you.

person.sexuality

I ... what a curious question. I am unsure on how to answer this at this time.

person.gender_identity

What... do you mean by this? If you mean how I was born? I suppose I am a woman?

Known Languages

Common, Draconic, Dwarvish

Personality

Motivation

To travel, to learn, and to craft. These are the things that make me the happiest. To find rarities throughout the world though is what makes me most ecstatic.

Likes & Dislikes

I enjoy a good story and I abhor people that look upon others with hatred and disgust.

Hygiene

It's not easy to keep one's self clean on the road, but a good tongue bath is always welcomed.

Of Cities and Boats

by Poison Spell

A day or two ago I arrived in Neverwinter.

Now, I run for my life with a Warforged that seems to be made of fungi and afraid of fire, a Goblin that talks of The Great Swap, a Dwarf that seems nonchalant about most of the things going on around us, and an uppity human noble. We also travel with a guard of Neverwinter who attempted to attack us on our first way out of Neverwinter.

We ended up resting on a beach way some miles away from the city where, for me at least, inspiration hit and I was able to create, or at least try to create that which I understand as a Bag of Holding, a Repeating Shot Short Bow. I also fiddled with, but cannot yet use an Enhanced Arcane Focus and Goggles of Night which may be able to enhance my dark vision, but I have yet to be able to put this to the test as of yet.

I have found some semblance of relief in the words of the dwarf named Kadol who mentioned, in a brief conversation, that we hadn't seen any bodies of our friends or family, save for those that we did see die. There may yet be hope for my family and clan.

During a watch with Spletch, I made, what I thought, was an excellent carving of their likeness, but they didn't seem to like it very much or at least it might not have been as good as it could have been. I also tried to make one for the noble, Ayla, but I wasn't able to hand it off before we were, yet again, attacked.

What we were attacked by, can only what I can surmise is undead from tales I've heard. It would have been fascinating if we had not been in mortal danger. There were also more of the laughing dog creatures. We were able to survive because we made our way to the boat and out to sea by working together, as a team, before they reached us.

Final thoughts,
I made a short presentation to Ayla of my Repeating Shot bow and handed off any remaining arrows to her.
I tried to eat some beans prepared by Kadol which, while the others ate it, save for Compy, the warforged, and Spletch, I could not stomach the taste I must find meat.

Arrival in Neverwinter
The travel from Varrune into the Sea of Swords and docking at our destination wasn't the shortest of trips, nor the calmest. It took maybe a week or two to get here. We came across dolphins and even some whales. the most harrowing, I must say, was whe...
