Personality:

Self-confident, focused, and determined, with her mind on a single goal. It makes her appear much too serious, as her sense of humor is very flat and dry. It’s not that she doesn’t care for others, it’s actually possible she cares too much, but being too trusting can have disastrous results and so Aerinne chooses to distance herself from all and even those she would consider friends, choosing to remain unknown, preferring to let others talk, content to ask questions and receive answers instead of the other way around. To know her name even, is to hold power over her, and so you will know her only by a pseudonym, if you really must call her something.

History:

Aerinne would like to have you believe that just one day she appeared out of the ground and there she was, exactly as she is today. Obviously, that is not true, she was born just like everyone else, to a small elusive clan in the marshlands. There were her parents, who taught her everything she would come to know, Dan’dar, and her older brother. She was a very passionate child, with a fierce love for many things and a mouth too open in regards to secrets and stories. She journeyed farther than the others would dare, and although she was the youngest child, there was much talk about how much promise she held.

One day, when she was just about twenty-two, she was travelling out to the neighboring town she met a boy who asked her a great many things about who she was and where she was from, and she trusted him without question, for he was very handsome and greatly admired her hair. She told him secrets, forbidden  things that were not supposed to pass her lips to anyone, much less a foreigner, but she did. She believed he would come live with her, and he would be a part of the clan himself.

As it would happen, he was a trickster and a con. He sold her secrets, the clan’s private knowledge of magic, and disappeared. It didn’t take long to discover Aerinne’s treachery, and it’s severity had demanded a severe punishment: exile—or death. But the clan was small, the rules old, and they cared for Aerinne enough to forgo the whole thing for a lesser punishment, but Aerinne was deeply shamed. She could not bear the thought of the damage she had done. This was the largest offense to a string of similar dishonorable events that made her realize how truly awful she was, and so exiled herself from the clan. She forced herself on a lonely pilgrimage with which she may erase her past and carve a new, more respectable self. Being so cheerful and open had brought nothing but trouble and so Aerinne decided to reject it, and through years of discipline created a mask of seriousness and disinterest, devoting her time instead to redeeming herself through action rather than emotion.

Familiar's Name: Dan’dar

Familiar's Personality: Fiercely loyal and protective of Aerinne, a guard dog and protector. She didn’t intend for him to come with her but he came anyway. To others he looks like he may bite at any moment but to Aerinne personally he opens up and resembles what she used to be, heavily affectionate and playful, energetic and very loving.

Notes/Extras/Etc:

About the species: The puffs of fur on Dan’dar’s chest and back are retain a smoky effect and feel like vapor. It is harmless to touch unless breathed, then you may run a risk of becoming poisoned. Unless of course, you are poison-type yourself.

Dan’dar has the ability to stand up and balance on his hind legs although he is actually quite unstable that way and doesn’t prefer it.

Fun facts:

• She takes great pride in her hair and will very easily succumb to flattery.
• She can sing and dance fairly well, having learned through Perish Song and Lunar Dance. However because of the destructive nature of their moves to her personal health, she doesn’t like to use those moves or those skills very often.
• She doesn’t really get angry, she gets annoyed, and when she’s annoyed she can get kinda slap-happy
