Cornflower Oakwind

Ranger-For-Hire Cornflower Oakwind

Ran away from home as a kit to go live with her rapscallion rogue of a brother whom she idolized, the two worked together to start a ranger-for-hire business. Since Sparrowhawk's disappearance (she fears he may have abandoned her, and hence has been afraid to go searching), she has been loafing around, sometimes working when she runs out of beer money but mostly doing nothing of consequence. Sharp as a whip, but a big slacker. Difficult to motivate, sarcastic, tomboyish, observant, sneaky, mischievous, independent, woodland child.
WANDERHOME INFO
The Hunter (Adapted from the Vagabond and Ragamuffin)
The wilds are dark and terrifying, and yet you take comfort in them. You rest under swaying branches, and see the world while remaining unseen. You are alive. Your care is practical, natural, and unspoken.
Choose 2 you try to always be and 2 you know you can't be:
Discerning, Present // Effeminate, Enough
Choose 2 life lessons you’ve been taught and 2 you have rejected.

You can’t stop the world from hurting you.

Your heroes will always let you down.

//

Your parents made you who you are now.

Everything must someday die

Choose 1 thing you carry with you and 1 that’s been stolen from you, and tell the table about them.
Carried: A different name that your partner in crime gave you. Oakwind is not a name found in any census records in Felival.
Stolen: A beautiful necklace you acquired from an ambitious noble. Part of a matching pair acquired by Cornflower and Sparrowhawk during a thief camp raid, both were found missing alongside Sparrowhawk himself.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Born in Arbor town to a well-off family who valued appearence over affection, Cornflower ran away from home as a kit to go live with her rapscallion rogue of a brother whom she idolized, the two worked together to start a ranger-for-hire business. Since Sparrowhawk's disappearance (she fears he may have abandoned her, and hence has been afraid to go searching), she has been loafing around, sometimes working when she runs out of beer money but mostly doing nothing of consequence.

Education

Good as a kit, but abandoned alongside her family. Taught street smarts and hunting skills by her brother. Has been known to sneak into libraries to read about trees, but by the sun do NOT tell Adelaide or I swear-

Employment

For Hire: Skilled Ranger

Are weasles rustling your guinea pigs? Mysterious beasts stalking your travel trails? Or maybe you just saw a really cool rabbit and want to turn its pelt into a coat for your special someone? For the low, low price of whatever buys a keg and some lunch meat these days, Cornflower returns fast results. See her posters accross Elderhall and Arbor Town!

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Cornflower is generally rather lazy and unmotivated, but can be a hard worker when properly motivated.

Seeking Answers

While she pretends to not care about the fact that her brother seemingly abandoned her, deep down she longs to know the real reason behind his sudden dissappearence.

Songslayer

Additionally, the goal of Cornflower and many other hunters and rangers accross felival is to earn the coveted title of Songslayer, which is given only to those brave enough to kill the rare and imposing wolves and coyotes that threaten feyle society.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Some Things You Can Always Do:

Climb a tree

Listen to the Wind

Look for tracks

Be somewhere you're not supposed to be

Say: "I have a bad feeling about this"

Lie

Likes & Dislikes

Treehugger

The ground is a lesser means of travel: for Cornflower, trees are the bee's knees. With this love of arboreal locomotion comes an oddly out-of-place and near-encyclopedic knowlege of trees in this otherwise very non-academic feline. She may not know what a preposition is, but she does know every species of oak tree in the continent, how to identify them, and which ones have the best bark for climbing.

Virtues & Personality perks

Woodswoman

The woods are a wild and wonderful place, and can both hold and share many secrets. Cornflower is skilled in the ways of hunting: playing wind, reading tracks, and remaining unseen are almost second nature to her.

Arbor Acrobat

Squirrels have got nothing on Cornflower. Cocking a crossbow while precariously perched on a conifer bough takes some serious balance and core strength.

Teenage Hooligan

Table manners might not be her forte, but Cornflower has the street sense that only comes from, well, being an unspervized child on the streets.

Vices & Personality flaws

Teenage Hooligan pt. II

An etiquette expert's worst nightmare, this branch-headed tomboy could care less about grammar, table manners, or anything else regarding high society.

Bitter Heart

Disapproving parents were quickly abandoned in favor of an accepting and oh-so-cool-brother, who has now seemingly abandoned our young ranger. Cornflower has a sensitive spot for rejection and a heart that can hold a deep grudge.

Social

Family Ties

Estranged from all family other than her brother.

Religious Views

Belives in what she sees.

History

Young Cornflower has never shown interest in relationships before, but there's just something about the way that Lana carries herself that Cornflower can't shake. Horray for one-sided puppy crushes!

Wealth & Financial state

Feline equivalent of a broke college kid.

Layabout punk, skilled ranger, can’t find her brother. Will hunt beasties and scare off thieves in exchange for beer money.
