Jade on the Mountaintop

Jade on the Mountaintop (a.k.a. Catlady, Wife of Gerolt)

Coming from a lovely town in Scotire, called Bright Cliffs, Jade is young and hadn't experienced much in life yet as she left around the age of 18 to see the world. As tradition from Bright Cliffs, she left with her "litter" other young tabaxi who leave the town together to be safer during travel. After splitting up more and more, she ended up in Arnheim where she is dead set on becoming a collector of stories from great adventurers. (Forgetting in the process that she can become one too.)

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Her general physique is powerful for running and quick rapid movement, rather than raw power. She tends to be quick and flexible, as well as her well kept claws allow her to climb almost anything.

Identifying Characteristics

Despite looking like any tabaxi, there is a weird discolouration on the back of her head. Roughly the size of a hand, there is a light grey and white spotted patch of fur, that stands out compared to her normally light brown and dark brown fur. Her tail also has a very distinct set of ribbons tied to the end of it, a red ribbon and a blue ribbon, which tend to create a small rainbow behind her as she runs around.

Special abilities

When she tells stories, she can make people completely forget what they were doing and take them away into the wonderful world of her well woven stories. Her gut feeling will also tip her off whenever people are telling her lies, which she does not tolerate at all.

Apparel & Accessories

Her general wear is that of a too decked out scout, with a whole big assortment of weapons, with multiple amulets, trinkets and multiple cloaks she can choose from at home. Her most distinctive gear is her green purse that seems to be able to hold anything, the silveren thorned tiara that holds a ruby with now a matching gold-silver thorned ring, as well as her two most beloved weapons; 'Karrisad' (an engraved rapier she got from Gerolt) and 'Gerad' (an silveren engraved short sword she had made).
If she isn't walking in her adventurers gear, she has an assortment of her favourite dresses, fitting towards the weather.

Specialized Equipment

She is the best at landing precisely aimed shots at the enemies of her friends, but recently after a couple of training sessions with Quen, she also became more gifted in supporting and healing her friends by yelling all sorts of encouragements (and licking wounds).

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Jade spend most of her life in the lovely town of Bright Cliffs, which is to her and anyone who visits a seemingly fairy tail village. The summers are green and sunny, as the winters are gorgeously snowy and cold. In this town it's tradition that around your 18th birthday, you leave during the village during the spring together with your "litter" (anyone else who is 18) to travel the world. Plenty of tabaxi return within the first year after seeing some different towns and becoming homesick, but others travel far and only return for the yearly reunion in Bright Cliffs in spring. The whole village seems to be build around this yearly event and preparing, providing and training for this.
Bright Cliffs is a village run by the clan at mountain cliff with a waterfall. The water comes falling down high mountain cliffs into a hot water lake. The bright cliffs catch the sun all day long, reflecting it upon the village. The village is a quite open town, with quirky and weird houses, inspired by all the stories off unique buildings. There are giant trees, creating shadow for the squares and farms, yet it is nothing like a forest. If you follow the road from the lake through the village, the only other way you can go, is into the forest. The forest that we use to gather resources, and the only road that leads to the shore. There you take a boat and get out to the world.
In this town, the shop from her parents called "Leaving Litter" provides clothing and generic backpacks or pouches. As many know each other personally, after picking gear, it often gets tweaked to personal style and marked with embroidery names. Instead of spending a lot of time at the shop, Jade spend most of her time (besides training) in the library reading books and supporting the owner of the library.
Jade her family exists out of her parents, her younger brother and her grandma, who all live together in one house. Her grandmother used to adventure too and barely stayed into town before she became old, going by the name of Passion (Flame of Passion). Her dad is the main force behind the shop with his craftiness, called Quill (Lost Quill). Quill has black dark fur and green eyes, but has a small almost quill shaped white mark on his back. When looking at Jade her mother, Desire (Burning Desire), it feels like looking at a copy of Jade. The only difference is the bright blue eyes Desire has, instead of the bright green ones Jade inherited from her dad. Spark (Spark of Life) is her younger brother, with a difference of 6 years Jade always has kept a watchful eye over him. He looks more like his dad, with matching dark fur and green eyes too, but he has light brown paws and a light brown patch on his chest and forehead that link him to his mother. Her two biggest friends at home are called Summer (Beauty of Summer) and Thunder (Thunder in the Morning), who are the twins from the neighbours who work at her parents shop after their litter year.
With about 15 members in Jade her litter, she left Bright Cliffs. Whenever telling stories about the litter, she will mention Robin (Robin of the Forest), Patch (Patch in the Sky), Locket (Locket on a heart, but now Silent Locket) and Raindrop (Raindrop Dancer) the most. Now, after not seeing Locket for about 2 years, he has crossed paths with her again in Arnheim. To her he seems much different but yet the same, but she is mainly happy to have someone from home so close to her again.
During her missions she has forged very strong bonds with her guild members, but a particularly strong one with Gerolt The Red, who now goes by the name Gerolt on the Mountaintop. They have had many rough fall outs, but also pulled each other through the darkest moments they went through.

Gender Identity

Education

Accomplishments & Achievements

Reaching gold tier, as well as managing to steer Gerolt away from his horrible past and brining him back to his true nature.

Failures & Embarrassments

Not being able to bring Surron and Effie back. Also, whenever she scouts ahead, she seems to do amazing but when she tries to go back to return with a report, she tends to fall on her face and make everyone aware that she's there.

Mental Trauma

She was kidnapped by bandits for two weeks, when she left Arnheim city gates for a walk. Some cruel activities have happened to her there, that she struggles to talk about.

Morality & Philosophy

She tries to do right by her friends, which she believes can only be achieved by telling the truth. But on the other hand she is very sensitive and she tends to get hurt quickly when people are telling confusing or conflicting things.

Taboos

Lying, or withholding the truth (which is still lying in her opinion). Also leaving behind friends in battle is a no go, but can be conflicting if it comes to saving Gerolt.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

In her younger years, Spark has fallen out of a massive tree which caused him to break both his legs, which are amputated to above the knees. Because Jade saw it as her responsibility to keep him safe, she has felt guilt ever since. With motivation of Spark himself, she has set foot into the world to collect stories about adventures he would've been able to live if he hadn't fallen.

Vices & Personality flaws

Tends to forget to check traps or ambushes, or for lies when it's something involving a mystery that needs solving.
Whenever people lie to her, it is nearly impossible for her to forgive them (the only exception so far being Gerolt).
As Jade opens a book, she loses her attention within seconds. If you want her attention again, she is only reached by physical touch or very unique / strange noises.

Personality Quirks

Whenever she is nervous she will fiddle with her ribbons on her tail, and her curiosity is given away by her tilting head and up perking ears.
She believes that she can only heal wounds because she wants it so much, which she applies by warm hugs and cat-tongue licks or encouragements.
