Jean Forestre

[Jean]

Basics: Name: Jean Forestre Race: Human Age: 22 years old Birthday: 3rd Day of Spring, 490 AV Languages: Fluent in Common Basic in Pavi Poor in Myrian Beliefs: Jean reveres Caiyha and worships Eyris, and prays to both Dira and Kihala on specific occasions. She's a very open minded person, and doesn't really have any prejudices, though she's wary of the Zith, Dhani, and Symnestra. Physical Description: Jean is more or less an average looking woman. She has thick auburn hair, bright blue eyes, and she stands 5'8"; not tall but not short either. Her skin is pale, freckled, and refuses to tan even though she spends most of her time outdoors. She has a strong, full bodied figure with decent muscle. She likes to dress plainly and practically. Jean usually wears plainly colored blouses, brown or tan trousers, and soft leather boots that stop about mid calf. Dresses aren't normally something she wears if she can avoid it. Most days her hair is tied back or braided, but sometimes, like on cold days, she'll let it hang loose. When down, her hair reaches just below her shoulder blades. When she smiles or laughs, her eyes usually crinkle at the corners like she's looking into the sun. There are thick, ropy scars running across her back and around her left hip, then down her thigh, stopping a few inches above her knee. These were from a large, feral cat which attacked her when she was a child. The third toe on her left foot is missing from frostbite during her fifteenth winter. Concept: Jean has an avid craving for knowledge. She loves the learn, mostly by reading. Her head often gets stuck in the clouds and she moves along in a daze while the world speeds by. She's very creative and clever, and wants to know as much as she possibly can about just about everything. Writing and listening to music are some of her favored pastimes. She loves nature and animals, and spends much of her time outside. Above that, she holds a special love for horses and dogs. She usually enjoys their companionship over anything or anyone else's. She's a very stubborn person, and will butt heads with almost anyone who tells her what to do. This isn't out of spite, it's more a way of getting a feel for the person. When Jean's befriending someone, she's extremely loyal and will back whomever needs her help, if it's within her abilities. On the other hand, where she can be a powerful ally, she can be a terrible enemy. She doesn't pretend to be above hating someone, she's not perfect. Everything she does, she does passionately, and will try make anyone's lives who've thwarted her a never ending nightmare. Jean isn't a bad person, but she isn't overly good. Her actions range in a morally gray area. She will take revenge when she feels the need, or steal, but also give charity or help someone in good nature. Character History: 3rd Day of Spring, 490 AV It was a calm, cool morning, and spring had just arrived. Marvole Forestre, a farmer in Syliras, and his wife Carn, a seamstress, were on their way back from Zeltiva by wagon. They were returning from laying Marvole's father, Harker, to rest. Carn was deep into pregnancy. The journey had been difficult, but they agreed to take it none the less. Harker had been a good man and had been close to them, so they felt it was worth any risk to see him set at peace. They were almost home, back into the safe arms of Syliras when the unexpected happened. A deep rut in the road rocked the wagon violently, shocking Carn into the labor. The rest of the passengers were frantic and worthless help, but thankfully the birth went fairly smoothly. Though nerve wracked, Carn brought a big, screaming baby girl into the world. It was awkward timing, but they were joyously happy. Marvole had lost a father, but soon after, gained a daughter. They named her Jean, after Marvole's late mother. The group was back on track soon after the surprise birth, and made it safely to Syliras. 1 Set of Clothing -White Blouse -Light Brown Pants -White Undergarments -Mottled Cloak -Brown Leather Boots 1 Waterskin 1 Backpack -Comb (Wood) -Brush (Wood) -Soap -Balanced Rations (1 Week's Worth) -1 Eating Knife -Flint & Steel Shortbow Shortbow Arrows (20) Quiver Hunting Knife 1 Large Tent (4 person) 1 Large Tarp 100 ft of Rope 1 Lantern 2 Torches 1 Bedroll 1 Blanket 1 Set of Fishing Tackle & Hooks 1 Mixed Blood Mare 1 Full Set of Tack 1 Large Set of Saddlebags 8 lbs of Horse Feed 10 lbs of Venison Lebanon, normally called Lee, is a middle aged Mix Blood mare of unknown descent. Suspected to be 13 years old, she stands 15.3 hands with decent conformation and is in exceptional health. Jean received her from her parents when Lee was still 5, 8 years ago. At that point the mare was already exceptionally trained, sound, and a calm mount. They bonded quickly and have a fairly powerful link of trust. Lebanon is a dark, chocolaty brown with a flaxen mane. She's fit and trim, muscular, and where she lacks a little in speed she makes up for in stamina, a fairly smooth gait, and good balance. She has a distinct fear of large predator cats, including those domesticated, and will either balk and run when one is near, or have to be led on foot until she calms. Lee is suspected to have descended from Eyktolian Desertbreds, then at one point her bloodline was likely mixed with Mountain Ponies. These assumptions stem from the fact that she has great stamina and very steady footing on most terrains, except in swamps or bogs. Skill Exp. Rank Misc.
