Your character's full name: Grath 'Eagle-eye' Swiftflight
Age: 26
Species: Sea Otter
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Age: 26
Species: Sea Otter
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Grath's dark fur is just as thick and water-shedding as any other's. What makes her stand out is her height. She is tall and lanky, even after adolescence. She easily stands almost a head over the average of her species, and the taller are usually just an inch or two above or below, even her same height. [ A/N I probably confused you more.Belongings:]
She is attractive, with her dark fur and big green eyes, though if you tell her that she will probably laugh at you. She usually wears a loose green tunic that ends at her hips and wide trousers. She has tattooed dots and slashes on her face. Three dots under her the outside corner of her left eye denote her clan, two blue dots with a black dot right under the outermost. Two diagonal slashes run from her nose across her right cheek, they are obviously knife scars tattooed a deep black.
]Well, there is always the bow. Grath's longbow is made of yew and only an inch short of her true height when unstrung. It takes a great deal of strength to draw. She also carries a dagger. She fletches arrows and makes bowstrings for others, so she always carries a few extra bowstrings, and arrowheads she knaps from flint or she's gotten a smith to create from iron.Job or Position:
Her arrows are in a quiver on her back, positioned over her left shoulder so she can grab an arrow easily.
BowbeastPersonality:
Grath is a fierce and accomplished warrior. Though her family lived in peace, they were from a long line of warriors. She is not a very good strategist, patience being a virtue she does not own. She is much more the charge into battle and 'Hellgates take the hindermost' kind of beast.History and Background Information:
She loves dibbuns. She tends to act first and ask questions first, especially of 'vermin', though she has met several that are goodbeasts in her travel, prompting her to tone it down a bit.
Strengths:
Grath is a strong fighter and swimmer, especially when it comes to archery.
She is very accurate with a thrown object, and can see clearly farther than most beasts, prompting her father to call her Eagle-eye. (She had a cousin whose name was Hawkeye)
Weaknesses:
Not the best cook ever, Grath seems to have taken instruction from Breeze while she was helping the hares fight Luna at Salamandastron.
Reading and writing is not Grath's strong point. She loves to hear stories but doesn't have the patience to sit and puzzle out the stories for herself.
Grath was born to a tribe of otters on the East Sea, (the opposite coast from Salamandastron, which is on the West Sea). Her clan is one of a handful that are interconnected through marriages to make one tribe. Grath’s clan is the Seaslate, a smaller clan that lives on the Teal Stream.Any other details:
She and her family lived in relative peace for most of her childhood. When she was twelve, several ships crewed by vermin had the notion that they could conquer the tribe. It was then that Grath learned to use a bow. They fought on and off for almost four years, in which they lost many friends and family and Grath earned her nickname. The vermin were all slaughtered or ran away.
It was soon after this, in the summer of her sixteenth year, that Grath said goodbye to her family, shouldered her bow, and went wandering. She has wandered southern Mossflower to Salamandastron and the West Sea.
She is currently wandering north and east, in a direction to eventually take her home.
Grath’s clan: Her clan is one of a handful that are interconnected through marriages to make one tribe. Grath’s clan is the Seaslate, a smaller clan that lives on the Teal Stream, a river that meanders all over the place. The blue dots on Grath’s face show she is from the Seaslate clan, the black one, being where it is, shows she is the daughter of the head of the clan. Literally it means she’s one of his close family.Code Words: -correct-
