Bovi

[Bovi]

Bovi Appearance Race: Kelvic (bison) Gender: Female Age: 4 yrs Birthday: 3rd Summer 509 Birthplace: Syliras Appearance: Bovi's bison form looks pretty much like any bison, and it would be difficult to pick her out of a herd should she find herself in one, were it not for the golden ring set through her right ear. As a human, Bovi is tall and stocky. She normally wears her gold earring in this form as well. She is quite muscular, retaining a little of her bovine strength and endurance. She has a broad, flat face and wide brown eyes that never appear all that sharp. She keeps her dark hair trimmed a few inches long, and it always looks a little coarse and unkept; this is not due to neglect, but is simply the nature of her hair, which retains the 'coarse topcoat, soft inner coat' nature of bison fur. Her Kelvic origins are also hinted at by her teeth, which are more reminiscient of the teeth of a herbivore than an omnivore. Her jaw is very wide and square to accommodate them. Character Concept Bovi is rather gentle by nature, in a live-and-let-live sort of way, but she is neither timid nor non-confrontational; if she feels that she needs to stand up for herself, she will. She has a tendency not to bear ill will towards people, and it often takes several attacks for her to realise that somebody wishes her harm; she often assumes that others are non-aggressive as well. She tends not to take advantage of people, and it usually wouldn't occur to her to try; in fact, many things don't occur to her. Bovi isn't stupid by Kelvic standards, but she is not imaginative either. She could be considered a little slow of thought, and tends not to analyse things too deeply. She does, however, have a lot of patience, and no fear of hard work. Character History Bovi was born to a songbird Kelvic mother who was bonded to a human man. Her father is unknown. Songbirds do not live long, and Bovi just about reached maturity when her mother died. Her mother's bondmate had no particular feelings for her, and had allowed her to stay only because of his bondmate; when her mother died, Bovi was turned out onto the streets. She quickly learned to make her strength and patience work for her, picking up simple jobs that involved lifting and moving cargo. Eventually, Bovi began hiring herself out as an assistant and guard for merchant caravans and ships, helping to carry and protect cargo. It was one such job that brought her to Ravok.
