Lynn

[Lynn]

Appearance Race: Kelvic (red deer) Gender: Female Age: Two years old. Birthday: 29 Fall 510 AV Birthplace: Syliras Appearance: At 100 pounds and a rather diminutive 5'3", Lynn is pretty much the definition of petite. Her auburn hair falls in loose waves to just below her shoulders, framing a round face with large, doe-like brown eyes and a small, full mouth. She is definitely not someone you would describe as "athletic" -- her slim physique and lack of any real muscle tone give her a gentle, delicate appearance, along with her porcelain skin and often shy expressions. As a deer, she is relatively small and slim (like many does) with reddish brown fur and a smattering of white spots on her flanks, which carry over to her human form as groups of white, birthmark-like markings on her outer thighs, hips and sides. Character Concept Lynn is a naturally generous and nurturing person who takes great joy in helping others. She always manages to see the good in people and make the best of any situation, as if she has a never ending wellspring of hope and optimism within her. Unfortunately, this unwavering faith in others leaves her vulnerable to those who would take advantage of her; while she likes to think she has a knack for understanding people, she is often blinded by her desire to see only the good. However, Lynn is not a total doormat. Her trust is not given freely, and while she is always more than happy to help others whenever and however she can, she does not like to talk about herself or get involved with others if they're not in need. In fact, when meeting strangers under "normal" circumstances, she can be painfully shy, often avoiding eye contact, physical touch, and saying more than three words at a time. Like all unbonded Kelvics, Lynn is driven by a deep-seated need to find and bond with that special someone. However, thanks to her adoptive mother's denial of any early attempts to bond, Lynn's desire to bond is not her only motivation in life. She has begun to assuage that lack of personal connection with a growing devotion to both Priskil and Rak'keli. Growing up, Lynn heard her adoptive mother speak of and pray to Rak'keli often, and she loved to fall asleep to stories of Priskil and her endless hope and love. These early childhood memories formed the spark that has now been fanned into a deep yearning to serve both goddesses, a wish that forms an integral part of her personality and purpose. Lynn's intentions are always good. She strives to always help those in need and never turn a blind eye to suffering. She believes that there is always a silver lining -- if you can't find one, you make it. Likes: Helping others. Nature and wide open spaces, especially when the two are combined. Being alone. Meditating. Comfortable silences. Dislikes: Crowded, confined spaces - almost to the point of claustrophobia. Being forced into uncomfortable or dangerous situations. Cruelty. Character History Abandoned only a few days after birth, Lynn never knew her real parents. She was taken in by an elderly herbalist who, through a stroke of extremely good fortune, had some knowledge of Kelvics, most importantly their bonding habits. She had seen Kelvic children given as pets and knew of the great detriment an early bond could have on their development. Not wanting to condemn Lynn to such a fate, she denied her attempts to bond, allowing her to instead form a much more human connection borne out of love, and not mere genetics. Lynn lived for two years with this woman who became more mother than master, slowly learning the basics of medicine and herbalism, as well as a deep respect for all life and an even deeper desire to protect it. Soon after her second birthday, not long after she reached full maturity, her surrogate mother succumbed to a degenerative illness that she had kept hidden from Lynn. Even though she had only been with the woman for a few short years, with no Kelvic bond to speak of, Lynn was devastated by her death and tormented by her inability to save her. However, thanks to her irrepressible optimism and her mother's last wish that Lynn continue to use her compassion and dedication to help others, she has since resolved to apply herself to further study of medicine and, Rak'keli willing, true healing.
