Age: 19
Birthday: 14th, Spring, 495.
Birthplace: Avanthal
Appearance: Vera is a pretty girl, with long black ringlets that are more often than not, pulled away from her face and highlighted with a slight neon green shine. She stands at 4'11", about 108 pounds. the color of her eyes depends on her mood. In example:
[color=#FFBF00]Gold: She is happy or content with her current situation.
Ice Teal: She is passionate.
Red: She is enraged.
Blue: She is sad.
Grey: She is detached or indifferent.
Her gaze really is powerful. No matter the mood, it is seen through eyes with a sort of ferocity, both a weakness and a strength.
*Color can change and all depends on the current situation.*
Her skin is tan and she has full pink lips that often sport teeth marks, as she has a nasty habit of chewing on them for almost any reason. If she's uncomfortable, she bites them, if she's upset or angry, she bites them. She really should stop that....
Anyway, her clothing consists mostly of white, not for any particular reason than the fact that she believes she pulls it off well and it offers good camouflage in the icy trees. Her small stature helps with this as well, seeing as she can fit in spaces many can't, which made her a pro at the hide and seek games as a child.
Character ConceptVera is an overtly passionate girl who takes everything to extremes. If Vera says her day was boring, then it's quite possibly the end of the world. There is always something that was adventurous or interesting that happens to her, whether true or no. She temperamental and easy to get riled up, while being just as easy to appease. A simple "I'm sorry" can go very far with Vera. Though, nine times out of ten, she will not admit something is her fault, she can go to her grave swearing you are to blame. That is if she's angry enough. It's hard for her to stay mad for a very long time. She can be fighting with you for an hour straight and then, not a second after, she's commenting on the weather or saying she quite rightly adores your top. She is also a real flirt, preferring to tease boys and men shamelessly, only to really leave them hanging because she wants to fall in love rather than be paid for like livestock. What is so adventurous about that? Falling in love? Now that would be an amazing story to tell... Vera loves long walks by herself through the snowy forest, singing for an audience, telling stories loaded with hyperbolas, writing, and socializing. She is devout to her Goddess, but tends to keep it to herself unless telling a story. She wouldn't want anyone else pushing their religions on her, so she would rather not push hers on others.
Vera is an average Vantha girl, who had a rather normal child hood, except, maybe, she's a little more dramatic than normal. Being of the Snowsong Hold, she has a natural talent for singing, writing, story telling, anything artistic, really, but her mother was of the Frostfawn hold, which would explain her companion snow leopard, Hiji, who is always too big for his britches.
Hiji
Character History Vera met Hiji on her third birthday when he was a fresh cub. She had been walking through the forest, which was not really smart on her mother's part to let her three year old daughter wander through the snow covered trees by herself. To be fair, Vera was a sneaky little thing and could slip past anyone's attention, except her father's that is. Her ability to sneak helped her skip out on many useless school classes during her elementary years, but after that, attending was necessary. She learned to weave and crop, as well the favorite stories passed from generation to generation that she enjoyed reliving to her younger siblings.
As Vera grew older, marriage became less of an idea and more of a very real duty, one that she had no intention of fulfilling. Vera believed that marrying the way her race did was not her way. She had no problem with the idea, It just never appealed to her. Too bland, it had no flourish. She wanted someone to come in and sweep her off of her feet, but did not find that someone n the suitors that offered their best snow canines, so, she decided, rather than wait for that man to come, she'd go out and find him. Or, really, make her own story to tell and hope she ran into him on the way. Her mother thinks she's just a hopeless case and keeps pushing it on her, but her father is secretly pleased his daughter has no intention of marrying, hoping she is, indeed, an icemaiden. When men come calling and Vera refuses, her father very much takes this into account and the men are sent on their way, much to the despair of her mother.
Her mother's efforts to marry her daughter off has increased ten fold seeing as she is on her last year before she is considered "hopeless". Vera doesn't' mind.
Vera never really was a proficient fisherman due to falling in as a child. She now has a severe phobia of water that is above her chest. She does, however, enjoy archery as a nice past time. She doesn't really need the skill, but when her brothers were out in the water, her parents sent her to get the furs.
Also, due to her familiarity with the forest and small size, scaling trees and climbing is a rather decent skill she has.
Often, because she had a pretty face, a smooth talk, and good social skills, her father would bring her to the market and teach her the trade. He taught her how to use her assets respectively to get what she desired to a degree. Nothing extravagant, always fair, considering. She had been doing this for years and has been to the very present. She plans, on her twentieth, to go out and explore beyond her city to make an adventure all her own, She had this planned with Hiji since she could remember.

Housing
[b]Location: Avanthal
House: 1 basic 20x20 Arvinta in a Hold with a hearth, bunk, chest, chair, and small table.
Each Arvinta consists of a communal meeting or sitting room. Then there are private rooms for couples, and a common sleeping/living room for all the children. Visitors are often given a private room, while a couple will move in with the children to make extra room. Some of the larger, more expansive Holds with wealthier families have spare rooms in their Arvinta or special guest quarters when people move from place to place visiting. Holds often have common areas and craft cottages in buildings attached and are always made of solid stone. External buildings are often built from ice and warmed from within by special braziers that conduct heat into the room but do not melt the thick ice walls. A Hold may contain multiple Arvintas and might hold upwards of a couple hundred people.
