Name: I would like to introduce y’all to the young Karyna O’Feargail!
Gender: While she is oft a tom-boy, Karyna is definitely female.
Race: Karyna’s mother is Human. Her father, who she sees on an irregular basis, is a Wood Elf.
Age: Karyna has just passed the twenty-first anniversary of her birth.
Homeland: Until now, Karyna has lived with her mother in Talmhaidh, Dheathain.
Occupation: Karyna often helped her mother with the family business, a successful shop specializing in luxury and exotic goods. However, she does not believe the life of a shop owner is for her, so she has now adopted the life of an adventurer.
Appearance:
Karyna was born with her mother’s waist-length, wavy red hair and her father’s almond-shaped, silver-green eyes, which are framed with long, feathery eyelashes and change color slightly depending on her mood. So, while she is good at controlling her features, an observant person might be able to discern her moods. Because of her Elvish heritage, her ears are slightly pointed and her fingers are long, strong, and gracefully shaped.
Karyna is a beautiful girl, despite (or because of) her tom-boyish personality. Her Caucasian skin is lightly tanned from spending lots of time outdoors. She isn’t a very tall girl at 5 feet, 7 inches. But she is fit and lean at 125 pounds. She has a birthmark in the shape of a crescent moon at the hairline on the back of the neck below her right ear and a small tattoo that wraps around her upper right arm in the shape of an ivory branch.
Personality:
Karyna is a self-confident, friendly, and bluntly honest young woman. People have the tendency to trust her; though, there are a few people who dislike her for her tom-boyish tendencies and her bluntness. Some would say she’s naive since she is an optimistic person; however, she believes that one can be cheerful and realistic at the same time. She is a romantic a heart, when her mind isn’t on a demanding topic. And she is a heroic person to the core with a chaotic-good alignment; because of this, she doesn’t mind taking justice into her own hands when the authorities are lacking. She also enjoys a good prank, but usually sticks to pulling smaller ones on her friends, leaving the large fiascos to the experts.
Skills:
Her skills with her two daggers are slightly below average; however, her marksmanship with the bow her father gave her is definitely above average. Because she grew up in the environment, she has a talent for business and assessing the worth of items. She is fluent in Tradespeak; she also speeks some Elvish. However, most of the time when she speaks Elvish, it is to curse. Karyna is also has average skills in the herbal healing arts. She has also inherited the Elvish grace (about 1.25x better than the average human), which helps when she is dancing or fighting with her daggers. Her sight is also strong, which assists with her archery skills.
Karyna has a telepathic connection with animals that enables her to be able to communicate with them. Her bond is greatest with her familiar, Kyprith, and they can communicate up to distances around 50 yards. So far she is usually only able to discern emotions and vague thoughts, but her strength in this is growing day by day through constant practice. About a year ago, she learned how to assume the shape of a wolf at will. Currently she is only able to do this (and shift back) once a day for relatively short periods of time. When in the wolf form, she assumes the abilities of a wolf, however slightly less than a real wolf's since she is still somewhat unsused to the shape: definitely increased travel speeds, slightly increased strength, a strong bite, and strengthened senses (especially sent). While she is able to communicate verbally with animals in the wolf form, her telepathic connection is weaker except for her connection with Kyprith.
Familiar:
As mentioned before, Karyna has a familiar and close friend in the young Timber Wolf named Kyprith. He is about two years old, and is a powerfully built wolf with thick silver-grey fur. However, his shinning silver-blue eyes make people think he is blind. This assumption oft brings about humorous situations.
His ears and tail are perked showing his alertness. He usually has a very dry sense of humor and is often sarcastic. Sometimes a comment of his will make Karyna giggle at the least appropriate times, much to the chagrin of those around her. He also oft plays the role of Karyna’s conscience, because she has a willful head and he is the more cautious and suspicious of the two.
When Kyprith was a cub, he was born a runt and was stranded when his pack left for new territory further away from civilization. Karyna first heard his cries for help telepathically and searched for the source. She then adopted him as a pet (much to the horror of the quite ‘civilized’ acquaintances of her and her mother). Once he was large enough to fend for himself, their bond had grown strong. So, despite the fact that he spent most of his time outside of the city walls, their connection was strong enough for them to be able to communicate as if they were in the same room.
Equipment:
Karyna has two small steel daggers with ivory hilts that she keeps on her person at all times. When she turned sixteen, her father gave her a bow that he had made himself from the wood of a young silver birch. The wood was treated to where it is a natural white, and it has intricately carved vines from tip to tip. When unstrung, this can also be used as a staff. She has a lap harp that she is skilled with, as well as a basic medical kit. Hanging from a copper chain about her neck, she has an amulet in the shape of a stylized key. It is supposed keep her mind clear and remind her to use her imagination and creativity.
History:
When her mother was young, she met a handsome and charming elf with whom she had a passionate romantic affair. However, despite their affection for one another, his duty to his people called him away and she went back home alone except for the little one inside of her. With her father visiting and sending letters when he could, Karyna was raised by her mother in the vibrant trade port of Dheathain, where her mother built a successful business selling high quality luxury and exotic goods.
Throughout her life, Karyna always had a connection with animals, and when she hit puberty the telepathic connection developed. With little chance to be trained in her abilities, her strength and knowledge advanced very little until she met Kyprith. With his help she was able to explore the strength and vastness of her abilities, albeit at a slow pace. At her current age of twenty-one, she is expected to build a life of her own. Her desire, moreover, is not to be a shop keeper. So, she instead has adopted the life of an adventurer, thinking to build contacts that would assist in the establishment of a career as a traveling merchant.
