Character Number- 7th Name- Linnet Ravensilver Age- 17 Gender- Female Sexuality- Undecided Appearance Linnet's hair is smokey brown, thick and heavy. She wears it in a multiple braided style. The braids that run over her ears are twined with small reddish-orange feathers. The single thick braid that runs down her back is decorated with larger, white feathers. Her face is small and round, cute though not particularly pretty. Her eyes are a bit small in her face, medium brown and attentive. Linnet is lean in a half-starved kind of way. It's not so much that she can't take care of herself in the wild--a year of living alone proves that she can--as that she gets distracted by something she sees or something she's seeking and forgets to eat for days. She also tends to eat like the wolves she admires: when she does remember to eat, she gorges, then sleeps for a long time before moving on. Her clothing is all tanned leather, mostly from animals she's killed herself. Her breeches, sleeveless tunic and calf-high boots were all made by hand. Only her shirt, with its elbow-lengthed sleeves is cloth, though it is the pale gold of undyed cotton. All are edged in small wooden beads she carved herself, and she wears a leather-string necklace hung with a bear's claw. She has a bag that she often wears, also leather, and she is never seen without the staff that is one of few things she has left of her home. Her staff looks like a totem pole. The topmost carving is of a raven. The wings, outspread and angled down at 45 degrees, and the beak are made of sharp metal. It is her only weapon. A matched pair of deer antlers is set points down over her shoulders, a protective measure against having her shoulder broken again as it was once. Personality Linnet is deeply spiritual. She was raised in a druidic tradition in the woodlands south of Lihn. She was never the sort to question her upbringing, and believes wholeheartedly in what she was taught. It colors every aspect of her life from her clothes, which she wears to honor the creatures she kills so that she may live, to the prayers she says (there are a lot of them), to where she goes and why. She believes that everything has a spirit, a 'soul.' Dragons are living embodiments of the natural world, Great Spirits that are worthy of respect and veneration. Among these many things, Linnet believes in the power of totems. Her staff is her most prominent totem, a story of her life that can be read by those who know the tradition she grew up in. Her bear-claw necklace is another totem, taken from a dead bear she found shortly after she began her journey. It helps give her the strength to face the solitary path she's been put on. The white feathers in her main braid are from the pale ravens her druidic circle was named for. She has preserved these five flight feathers for four years. The smaller feathers are from gryphons, taken from an abandoned nest Linnet found in the woods. She believes that they protect her from falsehoods of all kinds. Between her belief in the power of the gryphon feathers and her isolation from humans, Linnet is extremely gullible. She will believe literally anything she's told, unless she has personally experienced a contradiction. She would also find it extremely hard not to do anything a dragon asked of her (or ordered her to do), due to her reverence for them. Rank- All Purpose Candidate History Linnet was born and raised in a druidic tradition deep in the Nyushi woodlands. In all her life, she knew nothing but the companionship of the Circle of Silver Ravens and the peace of the woodlands. She was raised to respect and honor nature, to restore balance, to seek peace. All the Circle was family, and as such, Linnet never knew her birth parents. This never bothered her terribly, as she never knew another way. Of particular importance to her, were Seeker Jilain (the only member of the Circle that regularly left their domain), who brought stories of dragons, and Singer Merlain, her chief teacher in the Circle. She was in training to be the next Singer of Secrets, the keeper of the history and lore of the Circle. She spent much of her time with the current Singer, Merlain, who was getting up in years (68), in lessons, and teaching the younger children of the Circle as part of her training. at 15, she was 3/4ths done with her training when Jilain returned from the world outside. As it always was, Jilain's return was a time of celebration for the Circle. A feast was thrown in honor of her journey and return. The feast took a turn for the worst during Jilain's recital of her adventures. The 35 year-old woman started coughing blood, spraying it all over her audience. Despite the best attentions of their healers, their Seeker of Seasons was dead within 12 hours. The deadly cough then ran rampant through the Circle. The only one not affected was Linnet, who managed not to touch blood nor sputum of any of the victims. Though Merlain managed to convince her that the deaths were not her fault before he died, Linnet was now alone in all the world, the only surviving member of her Circle. She was now Seeker of Seasons, Keeper of Balance, and Singer of Secrets, and just shy of her 16th birthday. She buried her whole family and knew she could not stay in that place any more. She would seek for true: she would seek a new life, a new place, a new Circle. For the last year and a half, Linnet has been alone in the woodlands of Nyushi. She has traveled long and far, but found no place or Circle to call her own. She keeps her faith, restores balance where she may, and seeks peace from the ghosts she believes have followed her from her place of birth. |
