I am Human
.:My Life Is In Your Hands:.
Name: Valerie (Val)
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Origin: South
Height: 5 foot 8 inches
Weight: 120 pounds
Appearance:
Clothing/Appearance: Unlike the picture above, her usual outfit consists of a leather patched overcoat (similar to a trench coat) for protection from scratches along with leather knee-high boots and arm gauntlets to protect her forearms. She also wears a green-and-brown dyed cape that allows her to blend in extra well with the forest and trees. Her pants are plain cloth and her quiver hangs from her side along with her twin swords (one on each side).
.:Do I Look Like I'm Laughing To You?:.
Personality: Valerie is a no-nonsense type of girl. She loves taking scouting trips and hunting trips in her tribe. She loves creeping around and stopping to listen to nature. She isn't as anti-social as she might seem though and will interact with other members of her tribe (especially in the matter of intruders/threats). She also isn't afraid to speak what's on her mind (which often gets her into tight spots). She is fairly truthful and will only tell a lie if she sees it as the equivalent (or reality) of saving someone's/her own life.
.:Fell My Wrath:.
Weapon: Bow and arrow but has twin swords as backup.
Skills: Max of 5 skills, skills can be learned later from guilds but generally skills are just like multiple arrow shooting or swing slashing make your own up.
•Archery (really accurate and fast draw)
•Sword (can hit the target but can be improved)
Magic: Air, has a fair amount of this and is decent at it but occasionally she'll mess up and cast the wrong air spell.
Fighting Style: Generally using scouting weapons such as bow and arrow, sword and throwing knives. Though she is best at bow and arrow but can easily fall back onto her trusty twin blades.
.:I Was Once Younger:.
History
Valerie grew up in the Tribe of Trees. Her mother taught her how to sew and her father taught her how to hunt. Soon after she reached the age of 12, her father was on a hunting expedition when (while bringing a large kill back to the tribe,) he got attacked by a cougar. The only reason she knows is because the hunting party returned without him and had to tell her and her mother. Her mother was so grief-stricken that she went off into the wilderness and Valerie hasn't seen her since.
Those past events are probably the reason why she is so blunt and won't take excuses. Since then she's gone on countless search parties for her lost mother but has never found her. Many of the tribe think her mother got killed by the same one that killed her father, saying a demon came and ate them both. But, even though she had hope earlier, she has long since abandoned hope and it has made her hardened.
Valerie also does something unusual for people for her tribe, she scouts via trees. She loves the sky and wind so much that she taught herself how to balance and run along tree branches, making her nearly invisible from the ground, especially at dusk. Though her eyesight is normal, she still has a low chance of loosing her balance in the dark (since she has spent as much time as she has in branches). She will often take refuge in a tree at night during multiple-day scouts, something the others think is odd.
Role play Sample: Showcase how you will RP this character.
Valerie strode casually on a tree branch as wide as her waist. I wonder if I'll- But a movement in her vision caught her attention and within a couple seconds she had the string pulled to her cheek and an arrow tip pointed at the brown blob in her vision, regardless if it friend or foe. Hmm, it's a rabbit. Well, we could use some stew. And she released, the string making a twanging sound as it retook it's original shape. Dead center... She thought as the rabbit dropped to the ground, motionless. I almost scare myself. She thought as she dropped silently to the ground near the dead rabbit. She pulled out her arrow, cleaned it off with a couple leaves and put it back into her quiver hanging at her side.
