Redrat

Appearance

Redrat is a 21 year old Teifling, standing at 6"2 with wine-red skin. Her eyes are black, the same colour as her hair, which is silken and scattered with small braids down to her waist. Her horns lay almost flush along her skull, and curve slightly upwards to end at just above the top of her head. She wears a gold bangle on her left wrist and knee high boots along side her leather armour and a black jacket, fitted at the waist and flared to her knees, the hood of which she always wears up around people she doesn't know. Her tail is constantly moving, however absentmindedly, and transitions from the colour of her skin to darker, to black at the pointed tip.

History

Redrat was abandoned at a gladiator ring in the West, with no ties to her parents or early life besides a gold bangle with she wears to this day. Growing up in the ring as the only Tiefling, she was ignored and excluded by all other fighters besides one; Taeshan, a human male who entered the ring a year after she did. The pair became inseparable. At ten years old, they were both bought by a different ring in the East and transferred together. After 9 years there, Redrat was recruited by the Aconite Fraternity. While this was a welcome change from the world of blood sports, she found herself once again tied down by others and alone again. After apprenticing for a year, she was sent out as a scout to keep an eye on things across the land. As she was sent out, she had a bonding spell cast over her, meaning while she has free reign for the time being, if the guild wanted her back, or to not go somewhere, she would have to obey that will. She isn't privy to their intentions or motives, and is desperate to break the spell so she can finally be chained to no-one and no organisations for the first time in her life.

Demeanour

Redrat is a sarcastic and simultaneously blunt character, with little patience for small talk or nonsense. She's often angry, but thrives off of action and sneaky little schemes. She stands tall, and is very wary of her surroundings.

Family

Redrat has no known blood relatives but considers Taeshan family, and is beginning to feel the same way about her current party - while she is not quick to trust, she craves connections that don't wish to restrain her, and allow her to express herself and her opinions without dismissal.

Likes/Dislikes

She holds a special place in her heart for the lyre - and instrument that soothes her in the way nothing else does. She also has an irrational dislike of bugs, finding them irritating and sneaky.

Aspirations

Short term, Redrat hopes to lift her binding spell and be released from her contract with the Aconite Fraternity. Long term, she has yet to figure out what she wants. She knows freedom is the goal - as someone who has never been her own person with unadulterated free will, she longs for a life where she can make her own decisions and choices. But what they are, she has yet to decide.
