AppearanceName: Karale Darkrunner (Ker-al)
Race: Drykas (Emerald Clan)
Gender: Female
Age: Twenty-three
Birthday: 17th of Fall, 491 AV
Birthplace: Endrykas
Appearance: Karale is muscular, about one hundred and fifty pounds. She's also quite tall, standing at an impressive five feet and eleven inches. The Drykas woman has beautiful hazel eyes and dark brown hair that falls to her shoulderblades. Intricate tattoos, often hidden from view, decorate her back, covering large swathes of her dark skin and a small, fairly simple windmark on the nape of her neck. Tiny braids and wraps are hidden in her hair, telling her unfortunate past to those who see them. There are eight wraps in total, and fifteen braids. The wraps end in a small bronze charm and are made of green or brown cloth. Karale usually braids the hair closest to her face away in the back when she hunts or rides to keep it from obscuring vision. A small chain runs through a squirrel's femur lengthways on her ankle -- her finest piece.
Character ConceptKarale is a kind woman, but she can be very stern. She is accompanied by her faithful hunting Luvanor, Xiome (Shee-ohm), and her Strider, Frith. She is loyal to Caiyha first, Zulrav coming in second by only a small margin. Karale's managed to recover from her painful history, rebuilding her life not as a wife and mother, but as the only surviving member of her father's -- now her own -- pavilion.
Karale has a penchant for carving bones, and can often be found in her tent with the cleaned femur or skull of some animal in her lap and a knife in her hand. These she trades for necessities or gives to small children as gifts, and while they aren't all carved into different shapes, designs spread across the surface of the bone.
Character HistoryKarale's mother died shortly after her daughter's birth. Karale was raised by her father's first wife alongside her half-siblings. The youngest of her half-siblings was six years her elder, and so Karale was often left behind by the older children. However, she was chosen by a Strider far earlier than the others; Frith, then a foal, had made her way over to the six year old Karale. The two bonded, and Karale was added to the Web. Her first windmark was a relatively simple knot design that was on the back of her neck.
When she was sixteen Karale married almost immediately, giving birth about a year afterwards. She was excited about becoming a mother, but scared that she'd end up like her own: Dead. It was a shock to discover that the child was stillborn. Karale mourned for weeks, and the duration of her depression was extended when her husband ended up dying on a hunt. When she recovered enough to marry again she miscarried, leaving her barren. Her second husband died as well. Her pavilion was considered cursed.
Karale was pregnant twice with no heirs, no husbands and no suitors who wanted her. She returned to being a Darkrunner, and since the rest of her siblings (who were all female; not a single male in the group -- yet another reason to consider the Darkrunner pavilion cursed) had married far before she came of age, she was the only descendant who could become Ankal after her father and his wife died of natural causes. This was highly unusual, and another reason to believe the Darkrunner pavilion was heavily tainted. Due to the fact that she was a barren woman and no man should want to marry her, Karale feels little need to learn Webbing. She does not have any heirs of her own and does not plan to take in orphans.
