isgeˑθak

isgeˑθak ɛg gɨˑɾduˑwɨˑ

At sixteen years of age, he is a young man of the Reindeer Clan. He has a tendency towards anxiety, feeling like there is always more to do, because of this he likes to keep his hands busy to avoid fidgeting. Carving, knitting, braiding, fletching, basket weaving, and net making are all skills he has picked up over the years. He can be very astute but his nervousness and youth often lead to teenage melodrama. He also has a strange tendency to avoid eye contact and prefers things to be made explicit rather than implicit.
