Shadow in the Snow (a.k.a. Shadow)
Session 00: Backstories Report - Shadow in the Snow Birth: 01/18/1999 Deep in the snowy mountains of The Fractured Hills, high in the north, there lived a large group of Tabaxi, The Blinding Wild Clan. During a particularly beautiful new moon cycle, when all three moons were dark, a little white tabaxi was born as the last of her 7 siblings, all brothers. Her tribe was not the most attuned with astronomy and so they were not aware that the second and third moons were actually having an unprecedented eclipse. Being the youngest, and only female, she learned quickly how to defend herself and play along with her brothers’ games. They treated her kindly, beyond the typical brother-picks-on-little-sister mentality, and often let her tag along when they went hunting. She learned a great deal from them on how to blend into the snow and sneak so quietly no one could hear. She soon surpassed even her eldest brother with her natural ability to blend into nature and disappear almost entirely. This is what earned her her name, Shadow in the Snow. The family had a Modest Lifestyle, and both parents were the ones raising the family in a small house. She had several friends and her childhood was generally a happy one. . It was quite normal for Tabaxi in their clan to wander the world, to return many moons later with incredible stories of their adventures and life. This was also how the clan was able to stay mostly isolated up in the snowy mountains and still know the happenings of the outside world. As Shadow grew older, she also grew bored and looked forward to when clan members returned with stories. It was quite a large clan so it often happened that 5 or 6 would return in the same year from their wanderings. The adventures they shared were incredible and Shadow longed for her turn to go. She knew she would miss her family terribly but she also knew she was destined for more. As was custom, on Shadow’s 21st name day she was visited by the clan shaman. He told her that she would accomplish much in her life and affect many, both good and evil. He also gifted her a gold coin engraved with the silhouette of an unfamiliar looking cat. "This coin comes from a land far away", he told her. "Keep it close, keep it safe and may you always be protected". The following week Shadow set out into the snow, eyes bright and cheeks still warm from her family's kisses, to fulfil her calling into learning the ways of the Ranger. She has decided to go to Neyer to learn more about this coin. Loved and Lost
Current curiosity obsession: Rumors of another Cat Goddess named Bast. Allegedly there is a temple devoted to her somewhere in the desert. Quirk: I can't help but pocket interesting objects I come across. Tribal Nomad Feature: Wanderer She became an outlander because it is what her clan does. She found purpose in the comfort of nature and her mother's ranger background that led to her interest in learning the ways of the Ranger
