_________________

Name: Rhyne Arristol
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Collegium: Heraldic
Rank: Trainee
Location: Vieldorf, Karse
Gifts: Foresight. little mindspeach, He can only hear it.
Personality: He's usually quiet, but can get fairly snarky often. it all depends on his mood that day. Hes usually cheerful, and easy to get along with, but that depends, really. He's not the brightest trainee, but he does have an acceptable amount of common sense.
Appearance: Roughly 5'5" with a head of pale sandy brown hair that always seems to be hanging in his face in an annoying fashion. His eyes are the deepest greens, like pools of emeralds, and are usually the first thing people notice about him. His features are sharp, but in a soft way, his pale skin easily burnt by the sun. Rhyne isn't built, but he is stronger than he looks.
Background: He was brought to the sun preists at an early age, his parents figuring he had the calling because of their sons ability to 'know' things. He lead a fairly normal life as an acolyte, doing his duties, but he never stood out as the type who'd turn out to be an admirable Sun Preist. Every so often, Rhyne would see something, and then what he saw would come true. At some point he managed to acquire a cat, who he later found out was a lazy FireCat. He was chosen by a companion, and brought to Haven, and is currently starting his second year in Heraldic. Rhyne cannot speak Valdemaran well, mostly due to lack of trying. Hes still very skittish in crowd of people.
Companion: Nadir

Sometimes, it takes great patience to get along with her.

Companion: Yuuta

:: Mages ::
_________________

Name: Lied Keln
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Collegia: mages
Rank: Commoner at its best
Home: Haven
Gifts: MageGift
Personality: Lied is a very rash person. He'll do /anything/ if he thought it was worth doing; good deed, or bad. Hes self centered, loud, and demanding; the kind of person that expects you to do things for them just because. Lately, it's not a rare site to see him brooding quietly to himself; though he'll get angry and chase whoever away if they saw him. 'weakness' isn't a word in his vocabulary. Hes a tough kid.
Its hard for Lied to make friends, because of his personality issues, but when he does, hes actually quite loyal, and friendly.
Apperance: 5'6, leen, he doesn't look strong at all, but he can hold his own in a fight, and doing hard labour. He has roughly cut shaggy brown hair, usually the bangs are clipped back to keep them out of his face; he's sucker punched a few people who mocked him for that.
Blue eyes, and light tanned skin from working outside daily. He's usually sporting a bruise or two, from a scrap he got himself into, a few scratches here and there. Black capri-like breeches, and a light white linen shirt are usually what he wears, heavy boots to go with it all.
Background: He was born in a tavern. Literally. His family owns a tavern, and thats where he's worked since he was able to walk. He was chearful kid, friendly and playfull, until his mother died a year ago, and now hes a rough-housing b*****d. He believes it was his fathers fault that his mum died, so he has a special hatred for the man, and plainly voices it all the time.
The death of Lied's mother has caused alot of inner turmoil that he just cant sort through. he finds relief in alcohol, his cat, and hitting people. He has alot of pent up rage, and rather enjoys taking it out on other people. If anything, his cat means the most to him right now; Vixen.
He left his fathers tavern one night in a drunken stupor, and collapsed in a mage-fit. Mages picked him up, put him under control, and enlisted him in their collegia. He hasn't been back to his dads tavern for three months.

Name: Verasute (Erythiea, Orthrus)
Age: N/A seems to be 18
Gender: Male
Collegia: Mages (For the Moment)
Rank: Commoner//Outlander
Home: N/A
Gifts: Mage Gift / Mindspeach, Fetching, Farsight
Personality: He seems like a very calm and placid person. Easy to talk to, easy to listen to. Overall hes friendly and trustworthy, someone you'd want to work with... Then there are other times when hes cunning, swift witted and flirty, playing little games of Coy like any young teenage girl. And then there are the rare times when hes quiet, rough and cocky. Little to no patience, and a nasty temper. Taking it all into account, he can sometimes see like three different people...
Appearance: He has short, sort of spiked white hair, with to big fluffy wolf ears perked up. the left ear is white, the right is a sort of brown. His skin is a creamy pale peach, and very hard to tan. His left eye is a piercing yellow, while the right one is a baby blue, both are slit like a cats. He has three fluffy wolf tails, The middle one is white, the left is brown, and the right is a dark gray. he has a trail of mixed coloured furr running up his spine, but hes usually wearing clothes to hide that. Its also easy to spot a randome patch of grey furr running down his right shoulder.
Typically, he wears black breeches, and a black tunic, and he occasionally wears a hat to hide his ears.
Background: He collapsed outside of Haven and was brought to the collegia where hes been staying. They enrolled him in Mages because of his obvious mage abilities, and Vera really doesn't mind it. the consistency of the school is good for him. He has no idea of anything before he was found, and often times gets confused and lost.
when he drops into a 'mood' he loses his mage abilities, and gains.. something else. He has powerful mindmagics at his disposal, and a keen familiarity with weapons.. but all of that is something Verasute cant tap into.

Name: Rhune Arristol
Age: 118
Gender: Male
Collegia: N/A
Rank: Commoner
Home: Veildorf, Karse
Gifts: N/A
Personality: Chipper and sweet, on the surface, cynical and snarky on the inside. For the most part, he's a fun kid, and easy to get along with. intelligent, with good people skills, get to know him... and he'll surprise you with a pretty nasty side of himself. He gets obsessed easily, which is why he's as good as he is with horses. He has a brother complex. ~<3
Apperance: 5'5" in height, kind of short, but he doesn't mind. a little on the lithe/lanky side, but he's stronger than he looks considering he's spent his life laboring in his Pa's ranch. Bright, stunning green emerald eyes, and a head of sandy brown hair cut short, that hangs in an unruley way. He's not as pale as his brother, 'cause he's spent more time outside in the sun.
Background: Unlike Rhyne, he wasn't deemed 'worthy' of being shipped off to the sun priest, and that suited him just fine. He grew up working on his parent's horse ranch, studying practical things in his free time. He's good with languages, over the years he'd taught himself how to speak Hardornen, Valdemaran, and Rethwellan, though he occasionaly mixes them up. He often traveles to Valdemar with a horse trading party, to make a few good relations with the valdemarans, and bring home a few Ashkevron war-horses for breeding. As for family, he only sees Rhyne when he's visiting Haven. It makes him sad.

She likes people, especially new people and people she finds interesting. sometimes she can be a pest, but overall she's charming and lovely, and fun to be around.

Background: She comes from a family of powerfull mages, and happens to be the only one born sans mage ability. Despite being the odd one out of her family, she was raised as a mage born child, and acts like one even though she`s just a scout with barely any power.

Most of the time though, she's very calm and collect. She caries a real dislike for anyone outside of Heraldic, and more than often, scolds her chosen for assosiating with anyone but other heralds. This sort of behaviour is, at elast amung companions, rumored to be from a bad experience when she herself was a Herald.

Collegia: heading for unofficial magic collegium
Home: Sometown
Gifts: everything Herlad Mage Vanyel had - mage craft, mind speech, empathy, etc.
Personality: Struggling w/identity. Usually good natured, but that was when he was still in the army. Rather surly and sulky now that he has these gifts that are alienating him from people he thought were his friends. Edit – old personality returning since Ara has calmed him down.
History: Was in a mercenary army and a on his way to be a Captain. Was working with a mage when something went wrong. Valin saved the mage from his own mage attack and was blasted with it instead. He survived and recovered but the blocks in his head that held back his talents started to unfold. Bit by bit his talents are emerging.
Is decendant of Vanyel through the Mercenaries he played stud for. This is unknown to Valin.

Gifts: none apparent
Home: Haven now. Ran away from the family farm
Collegia: none
Appearance: 5' 7", long blond hair, blue eyes, slender but buxom.
Background: Has two older sisters and was tired ob being compared to them. Parents couldn't afford much for the family and were set to get her married off like her sisters. Kizzy wasn't having that so she left home for Haven to make a better life for herself. She tried otu at the Collegia but had no apparent gifts, no money for classes, and didn't test well enough for scholarships. She was starving on the streets until a small monestary took her in where she traded chores for a place to stay for a little while. Soon she wanted to be back on her own and got a job as a barmaid.

Name: BrightWind K'Leshya
age: 16
Gender: female
Collegia: none
Rank: Helper, soon to be apprentice, trondi'irn
Home: Now in K'Valdemar she tries to learn everything she can about the native life.
Gifts: She can mindspeak when mindspoken to but that gift has not yet matured. She has been told she will have enough empathy to aid in minor healings. She has also been told that she will have telekinisis.
Personality: BrightWind is always energetic and lively and sometimes overly friendly. She loves life and every new experience. New challenges do not phase her in the least.
Apperance: Waist-length black hair is usually tied back into three equal braids, one on each side of her head like pigtails and one in the back. Saphire eyes and a slender build.
Background: So far she has been a good girl and hasn't gotten into any real trouble. She has played some harmless pranks in the past but nothing serious. Both her parents stayed behind in K'Leshya where they were needed to teach. Brightwind's thirst for new things gave her the courage she needed to leave home.
Companion: n/a See Tyson dyheli

heart heart heart heart heart heart

Bondbird: Aiko the Pest

Gender: male
Personality: Like his bondmate, interested in everything/anything new. Will mouth anything with his beak and tends to leave a trail of destruction behind him. Brightwind usually makes toys for him to play with so that he won't destory her stuff.

heart heart heart heart heart heart

Name: Tyson
Gender: Male
Breed: Dyleli
Home: K'Leshya
Gifts: Mindspeach
Personality & Appearance: An average dyleli so has some self-esteem issues. He is white with blue eyes and a rack of average size. Everything about Tyson from strenths, intelligence, to physical looks, and mind powers are average. The only way he is going to gain any sort of rank in a herd is to have some life experience which is why he chose to go with the expedition to Haven. Since others of rank are going to he ended up with the human of least rank...the very young Brightwind. Well, the the known story, the unknown story is that Tyson was seduced by an evil mage and now is evil himself. He hordes power to make up for his short comings. Since he finds it difficult working alone in a human's world he has turned Brightwind into his "pet". She is almost totally under his mindcontrol. So far no one else has noticed.

Gender: ???
Personality: Steady, easy-going. Very understand of Chosen's gruff personality. By far more sociable and friendly but in quiet way.
Chosen: Ondren


heart heart heart heart heart

Name: Fern
Age: 26
Gender: female
Collegia: Heraldic
Rank: Royalty – Queen by marriage. High-borne but with Healers for parents that kept her grounded from becoming a brat.
Home: Haven – palace.
Gifts: Aura sensing, mind speech, empathy, healing
Personality: She is very friendly and someone that people tend to want to confide in. She is easy to talk to and typically shows what she is feeling. She tends to be a bit more spontaneous than her husband. In short – she is his opposite but they work well together as a team – almost as if they were meant to be together.
Appearance: She is as fair as her husband is dark. Blond, wavy hair, rosy cheeks, warm green eyes.
Background: Although her family is technically high-borne both of her parents are Healers. Her parents instilled in her and her sibs the importance of a good education and had been teaching them medicinal information as soon as they could understand. At the age of 5 all the children were proficient in wrapping simple wounds if an extra pair of hands were needed. She has two sisters and one brother. One sister is a Herald while the other two sibs are Healers. Unfortunately, she doesn’t get much of a chance to see her sibs since they are always going where they are needed…which is rarely Haven.
Companion: Ellena


heart heart heart

Companion Cajon
Gender: Male
Chosen: Varren
Personality: Although one of the better looking stallions in the Companion’s Field, he is not the social butterfly his looks say he should be. He likes to keep to himself and watch. He will give his opinion if asked. His friends know that he is not as rude as he appears – he just likes to observe and think before acting. He hasn’t mated with anyone else because he has his heart set on Ellena, his Chosen’s wife’s Companion.
Appearance:


heart heart heart

Companion: Seric
Gender: Male
Chosen: Shahi
Personality: Flirtatious. Used to be very confident due to being excessively lucky. However, after the accident that resulted in the death of Shahi's apprentice Seric became much more down to earth. He second-guesses himself now since his confidence was shattered. Before he left Haven he and Companion Desh had gotten rather close.

Heralds/Trainees

Name: Cassidy Jericho
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Collegia: Heraldic
Rank: Trainee
Home: Hardorn
Gifts: Powerful Empathy, Mage-ability, short-range Mindspeech, strange hypnotic eyes...
Personality: Two words: borderline sociopath. It’s not because he dislikes people, though... He’s just deathly afraid that he’ll bite someone. Highly cynical, one might call him a born pessimist; almost everything he says comes out liberally soaked in acid. He also has an irrational fear/intense dislike of Healers and barely tolerates having them near him. Extremely withdrawn, he hates being among or near groups of people – partially due to his biting issues, and partially because of his untrained empathy.
Appearance:
Background: Cassidy was orphaned by Ancar’s ‘recruitment’ program and was left alone with his little brother. Like everyone else in Hardorn at the time, he had to scramble to survive.. Particularly since Ancar and his mages had so ruthlessly stripped the land – though Tremane has been working his hardest to repair the damage. Still, the sickened earth had had an effect on everyone – even and especially the magic-workers, the mages and Healers.
During one of the many odd jobs Cassidy had done to survive, he was seriously injured; the wound would have been fatal, had there not been a Healer on hand. Unfortunately for Cassidy, he was in one of the most severely drained regions in the country – and that had a subtle but terrible effect on the Healer... For, while the Healer succeeded in saving Cassidy’s life, the Healing itself was twisted by the taint in the land. It... did something to him, changed something in him. Only a day after he was Healed, Cassidy began to feel a peculiar craving. It wasn’t for food or water or sex, not one of the basic things that humans needed.. He simply could not figure out what it was that he craved, and it slowly began to eat at him, dragging his mind back to that one thing that he so desperately wanted. Day after day, the craving grew stronger; five days after the Healing, when Cassidy was feeling faint as if from hunger, he just blacked out. When he came to, it was with a young girl lying limp and cold, pale and motionless in his arms, and a thin trickle of fresh blood dripping slowly down his chin. Horrified, grief-stricken and scared very nearly out of his mind, he panicked and bolted. However, several of the locals saw his bloodied lips as he fled and found the body shortly thereafter. They gave chase, of course, and Cassidy kept running...
Companion: Citadel


Name: Atemu Rizzen
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male
Collegia: Heraldic
Rank: Trainee
Home: Iftel, near Valdemar-side of the shield-wall border.
Gifts: Strong Mindspeech (“Gift of Tongues”), self-Healing, something that resembles Firestarting but isn’t.. Quite.
Personality: Rizzen’s thought processes are very strange. His thoughts aren’t always… Human. He somehow has knowledge of things, people and events long past and that tends to color his attitudes. ‘Eccentric’ might be the most accurate description of him. He generally manages a veneer of politeness over his otherwise abrasive and mildly sarcastic attitude; however, his emotions are mercurial and a little unstable – he periodically has little fits of excessive energy and gets very strange then, and it isn’t terribly difficult to make him angry. He tends to spark when he gets that way. Also, he has relationship issues, being very unwilling to attach himself to anyone or anything for long periods of time, though he enjoys flirting. He has his reasons…
Music and art are his passions; he excels at the latter but is merely good at the former… And though one might say that he must be very talented, the truth is that he has had a great deal of time to practice.
Appearance: (Bloody hell, I need to draw a picture…) Rizzen’s height is barely above average at 5’7”. His skin is a light mocha and would be more golden if he had more opportunities to be in the sun. His hair – mostly black except for a single, bright gold streak that extends from his right temple – falls to his waist when not bound in his usual braid. His eyes are normally a light, almost golden brown, but when he’s feeling a strong emotion or using his powers, they intensify to a bright gold and develop slit pupils.
Hidden beneath a nondescript, faded, but sturdy brown cloak is his usual attire. Usually an eye-catching red, it is unexpectedly elaborate – and, in fact, somewhat resembles the work of the Tayledras. The loose sleeves are caught up around his wrists, the drooping edge decorated with embroidered fabric ‘feathers’ that are mirrored in the collar and coattails, while the pants are very simple except for the embroidery at the hems. Quite finely crafted, one would never guess that this, too, is the end result of many years of practice and experimentation.
The only jewelry he wears is a single pendant-earring that hangs from his left ear, and a golden bracelet. The earring is a clasp, not a piercing, however, which would seem rather odd given that a thief could just run up and snatch the thing clean off his ear. The pendant itself hangs on about three quarters of an inch of delicate gold chain and is made in the shape of a pair of interlocking teardrops (i.e. a Yin-Yang symbol), one of which is carved from red tigereye and the other, white opal. Stamped upon the backing of the pendant is a very old and rather obscure Iftelan symbol; only Rizzen and the Iftelan priests know what it means. The bracelet is made in the shape of some sort of long-necked bird whose outstretched wings and long tailfeathers encircle his wrist.
Background: Much of his past is lost in the mists of time, and even in the fog of his own memories… For the last several years, however, he has been wandering the world freely – albeit carefully avoiding Iftel – but has only recently ventured into Valdemar. (Translation: You’ll see!)
Companion: Deshret


Name: Tuari
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Collegia: Heraldic
Rank: Trainee
Home: Following the Terilee river, up in the high hills to the northwest of Valdemar
Gifts: Powerful FarSight and MindSpeech; partially trained Mage.
Personality: Once impetuous and fiery, Tuari now acts not at all gryphonic. His confidence seems to have vanished with his fully gryphonic form. He’s afraid of gryphons now—well, not of them, specifically, but more of their reaction to him. He’s afraid to find out whether his once-own kind will accept him or not. Other than that, he’s very eager to learn – although he’s not nearly so eager to put himself forward. Between humans and gryphons, he’s sure that both will think he’s a freak. He has a very sullen attitude most of the time, one that switches over to melancholy when he’s alone.
Appearance: Tuari

Tuari's Bondbird(s):
Raik

Background: Once, Tuari was a young, impetuous gryfalcon on a routine scouting mission. He and his human partner – Deran – had been sent to secure a small node until someone else could take over and properly fortify it. However, at the end of said routine scouting mission, he returned ‘home’ to find a bloody mess; a pack of Change-creatures had caught Deran unawares and were in the process of devouring his body when Tuari – in a blind rage - stooped on them, taking down two before the rest turned on him.
But at just that moment, one of the waves of the mage storms swept through and he and all the change-creatures – and a wild bondbird, a crow- were caught in another Change-circle; combined with an unstable node, the chaotic magical energies Changed Tuari, the bird and the Changecreatures... And transported them to.. somewhere else...
Companion: Xiran


Name: Taloreed "Tori" Jericho
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Collegia: Mages'
Rank: Patchily trained mage; Commoner
Home: Hardorn
Gifts: Newish mage, not well trained, mostly self-taught. Mindspeaker; Cassidy-centric Foresight.
Personality: Tori is almost the polar opposite of his brother. He's headstrong and impulsive, and loud enough for the both of them. Tact isn't exactly his strong suit, but behind the bluntness he's actually quite caring. Cassidy might call him "overprotective." He's also an avid learner and, if not always quick to catch on, he's certainly tenacious enough to keep trying until he does. The only disadvantage to that is that he'll drive himself until he drops.
Appearance: Tori
Background: Tori is Cassidy's younger half-brother (he hardly looks the part, having a full eight inches of height over his brother), though he takes more after his father than their mother - as Cassidy does. [Refer to Cassidy's profile for early life.]
Tori’s mage powers had awakened not long before the accident, but he had managed to teach himself a few things. Unfortunately, they weren’t adequate by themselves to find his runaway brother – but they triggered his Foresight and gave him a direction to go. He hasn’t yet managed to catch up, but he’s sure he’s not far behind…
Companion: None


Name: Kynan
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male
Collegia: Unknown
Rank: ???
Home: Pelagirs
Gifts: Mage-gift, shapeshifting,
Personality: (Coming soon)
Appearance: Kynan
Background: One of the Changebeasts that fell out of the sky with Tuari, he was luckier than the others. His changes gifted him with human intelligence and the Mage-gift.. But not human instinct or, presumably, conscience.
Companion: None.

Companion(s)

Companions Name: Nadir
Gender: Male
Chosen: Rhyne
Personality: Nadir is a young stallion, and one very interested in the ladies. Shay’a’chern make him a little squeamish at times, but he can tolerate them well enough. He’s easily distracted by a pretty tail most of the time; however, he knows his duties and will fulfill them gladly – with a little prodding. However, he is lacking in the confidence department when it comes to his Chosen, so he waffles about his opinions until the last possible moment.

Companions Name: Tarn
Gender: Female
Chosen:
Personality: She’s a warrior to the core, lean and battle-ready. Having foaled a few times, Tarn is happy with her contributions to the Companions’ herd and is now focused on training herself to be ready for whenever her Chosen appears. She is very active, much to the chagrin of the humans in the Companions’ stables – because she is also quite vain and insists on being spotless again as soon as possible. While the two traits might seem at odds, they’re actually a surprisingly good match. Fit and beautiful, she is, but beware her quick temper and deadly hooves.

Companions Name: Northan
Gender: Male
Chosen:
Personality: Northan is Tarn’s twin brother, and they could not possibly be more opposite. North is a pacifist in almost every sense of the word – except the not killing anyone part. He prefers stealth over direct combat, and is firmly of the mind that a single well-placed dagger or vial of poison is the proper way to go. Slimmer and sleeker than most Companions, he insists on keeping his mane cropped to a short crest and his tail carefully trimmed, and he has a true gift for moving silently and remaining unseen. To those accustomed to the differences between Companions, he seems to have a faintly sinister air about him.

--------------------------
Full Heralds (Teacher)
--------------------------
Name: Ondren Drevis
Age: 36
Gender: male
Collegia: Heraldic (he's been summoned to teach)
Rank: Full Herald; teacher
Home: Lake Evandim
Gifts: Foresight tainted with Empathy (only his visions have Empathy, he doesn't experience it in daily interactions. His visions show him usually what will go wrong in his circuit, usually within enough time to get there), Farspeech (also very strong Mindshields)
Personality: Doesn't play well with others. Ondren is very brusque and rude. He doesn't know his manners and he doesn't want to. He shuts people out of his head, except for his Companion (of course), and he likes working alone. That being said, he does have his soft spots--he is a Herald after all. These are usually for underdogs, but he'd rather have teeth pulled than let anyone know.
Apperance: Ondren has a full head of black hair, silvering at the temples, drawn into a palm-length tail at the back of his neck. His eyes are squinty and brown, but flash eerily with green when he is angry. He is 5'11, and very sturdily muscled.
Background: Ondren is from merchant stock based around Lake Evandim, of a moderately-close family with eight children. He was the youngest boy, and the second-youngest child, so he had to constantly prove himself. Ondren was chosen at age 17--a little bit late, and very unexpected. He then entered the Heraldic Collegium, and worked very hard to complete his training. His Gifts made him expecially suited to circuit-riding, though this toughened his personality more. Ondren used to have a partner seven years ago, his lover Yantz, a man as cheerful and bright as Ondren was not, and who always succeeded in drawing Ondren from his shell. The loss has only made Ondren withdraw more.
Companion: (he needs one)

Companion's Name: Erla
Gender: Girl
Chosen: (I'll find someone who needs her, soon)
Personality: Erla is rather mischievous, and especially enjoys teasing and withholding information from her Herald. There are certain sacred things, though, that she doesn't joke about.

((I'll be adding a main character in the next few days, I think, but I thought that I'd pilot someone a bit more minor first. I've never RPed in a multiple-forum-RP before. Is this okay?

Atro Says; Yes thats fine. do whatever you see fit and comfortable with. I think we're all still getting used to this multi forum thing too. ))

Name: Caelan Hunter

Age: 16 (Birthday: May 7th)

Gender: Female

Collegia: Requested: Heraldic. If not, Healers' Hall.

((If accepted as Herald, requested Gift: Mindspeech - Very Strong {can be trained Offensively} ))

Appearance: Caelan's hair resembles a fiery red so bright that it is often startling to look at. She has let it grow quite long and has to keep it in a tail so that it doesn't fly all over and get in the way. The ends of it are slightly curled, but the rest is straight and smooth. She has a round face and many freckles sprinkled across her nose and under her eyes, while her skin tone is pale and prone to burning in the sun.

Caelan's eyes are an intense and multi-faceted green that seem brighter in sunlight and much more deep indoors.

She's rather short, in her own opinion, standing approximately five-foot three at the tip-top of her head. While not thin, she is neither overweight nor pudgy, and in fact has quite curvy hips. Child-bearing hips, her mother would always claim.

Living on a farm gave Caelan enough muscle to do daily chores, but the rich food (like fresh milk and eggs on a daily basis) give her body a soft appearance. It will need work before it will be considered 'fighting ready.'

Personality: Sometimes Caelan's quiet disposition gets her overlooked. She tends to keep her mouth shut unless she has something important to say, choosing to remain in the background absorbing information until such a time as she can enter an argument with logic.

While always ready to offer a smile and extend friendship, Caelan does have a temper to match the fire of her red hair. Thankfully, this temper is slow burning, and Caelan has a rather long fuse. It will take a lot to upset the girl, but when she finally reaches the point of anger, woe betide the person who set her off!

The girl is hard-working, with a soft spot for young children and animals, and has a love for reading that often gets her into trouble. As a youngster, she was often disciplined for ignoring her chores in favor of reading some love-story or other that she'd bartered off of a passing trade caravan. It wouldn't have been so bad if she weren't prone to losing track of the time.

Short Life Story: Caelan came from a rather large family in Ruvan. All eight of them lived on a farm, though none of the children were her siblings. Her mother lost several infants due to miscarriage before Caelan came along, and since then has not been successful in carrying another child. Because of this, the Hunters took in several of their nephews and nieces, which gave them plenty of help for the farm, as well as supplying Caelan with children her own age to play with.

There was no major drama, no horrible, untimely deaths. No hoards of bandits or rouge mages to give Caelan any excess mental baggage. She was simply the daughter of a farmer, who turned out to be exceptionally bright. Luckily for Caelan, her parents were the sort willing to sacrifice a little of their time and money to see to it that their daughter got the schooling and worldly experience she deserved. Others might not have been so fortunate.

Recent Past: What little riding experience Caelan had (for on the farm it was limited to a jaunty little ride on a mule into town and back) was made up for by the long journey from Ruvan to Valdemar. They spent two months getting to Haven; it wouldn't have taken so long had Caelan not needed to rest so frequently. She was saddlesore, sunburned on more than one occasion, especially when crossing the Karsite borders, and her nose had begun to peel by the time they entered Valdemar. However, by the time she set foot on the Collegia grounds, she was much more sure of herself on horseback than she'd ever been in her life. Still, and her aching legs and back reminded her of this every time she spent too long in the saddle, there was much more room for improvement.
