Character's Name Kikue Pronounced: KEE koo eh Otherwise use google translate and type in 菊絵, it might sound fast but that's it. Basic Information Race: Inarta Birthday & Age : 1st day of spring 490, 21 years old. Gender: Female Physical Description Short for an Inarta at only 4 feet 8, she's build slender and looks physically weak. Her arms are skinny and don't show much muscular structure. Her legs are a bit on the skiny side, but have a distinct muscular structure upon closer inspection. Her skin is on the pale side. She wears simple high leather boots on her feet, fit for travel. Her hair is brightred and short. Her eyes are skyblue. Her face is soft and seems as if she is easy to talk to. She wears a simple black Bryda and a simple red Vinati that wraps around the neck. She has no jewelry or piercings as they would only hinder her during the hunt. Because she's a hunter, her clothing style is simple. She prefers efficient clothing over exquisite clothing, though usually she has them made out of better grade material. And she hates to stand out because of her small posture. Character Concept Personality Kikue is a hot-tempered, yet easy going lady. She cares alot for others and she's a bit of slow at understanding 'moods'. Her reactions tend to be a bit slow to other people, but once she starts hunting, this completely changes. Once she starts hunting, she's sharp, quickwitted and a perfectionist. She doesn't allow herself to make even one mistake and learns quick. Making a mistake is a grave error in her eyes, no matter how petty it was. She can easily become really depressed over this. Patience is something she lacks gravely and she can't stand it when people use too many words to express something that could easily be expressed with only a few words in her eyes. She's a quick learner, but it's hard for her to truly master something. Even though she dislikes to be in Wind Reach, she does in fact care for her people. She doesn't know how to show this and it often leads to her getting pissed off. Ethics Kikue is something that holds justice in high regard. It's a fact that when she gets wrongly accused, she can be seriously offended. On the other hand, she doesn't accuse people quick. She rather collects all the evidence first, before making an accusation. Animal abuse is a no-no for her. She hates it when people don't pay respect for animals. Even though she is a hunter, she hates it to kill animals. Once she has shot an animal, she usually prays for them and thanks them for becoming her meal. Likes Kikue is someone who loves to train her skills. She could spend a full day only practicing her marksmanship. She also loves to solve riddles and all sorts of other stuff that requires logic. Dislikes Murder, bribery, and the rest of the 'underword' tricks to rip off other people. Tyranny. If there is one thing she truly detests, it's the extortion of hardworking people so they cant live normally. Whenever she can, she'd help people who have a hard time handling high taxes. Character History Kikue was raised in a nursery and thus had never known her parents. Though most kids always thought of becoming an Endal, Kikue only thought of the open world. She wanted to travel once she came of age. At the age of 8 she was sent of to the youth section. She followed the classes like everyone else, but didn't care for most of them, except for archery and hunting. This is also where her talent shone. She was quickly recognized by one of the artistisians, a hunter, as an excellent marksman. Taking her in, he showed her the traits of his profession. Kikue was an eager student and the two of them built up a close Master - apprentice bond. It became clear to her master soon that Kikue had no interest in handling a bird. This because she never even looked a little expectandly at his small hawk. She never asked for one for herself, nor even asked for knowledge about it. After her 14th birthday, her master sent her off to the Valintar to get herself appointed to a caste. It appeared that she became an Avora hunter. At her 19th birthday, she got a camouflage armor from her master to aid her in the hunting. Kikue was overjoyed with it and promised him she'd always treasure it. The mountain confined her, she wanted to be out in the wild. She hadn't ever felt comfortable around her kinsmen. It could be because she, unlike everyone else, never even wanted to take care of a bird. She was just not interested at all by them. Training (Skills, Arcana, Gnosis, Lore] Skills
