[Ceruna]

Ceruna General information: Name- Ceruna Nicknames- Cera, Runa. Gender- Female Race- Horse-Kelvic Birthday- Season of Spring, Day 63, 510 AV Age- 2 (Human) Height: 170cm (Human) Weight: 50kg (Animal) Height: 165cm (Animal) Weight: 450kg Physical description: Human- Her hair that is in a curiously grey shade and always seems to be a bit too tangled to be called clean and grey eyes makes her easily recognizable without a hood on. Her hair will almost always be pulled in a ponytail or a braid, otherwise it is too troublesome. Her eyes are not only grey, but also, if you look carefully, their pupils seem to be more quadrangular, than the usual round ones humans have . Although most people are unsettled by it, some others are fascinated. She rarely uses cosmetics and it's usually nothing more than a bit of eye liner, as she can't be bothered to clean her face often enough to not look like a flower garden in Spring. If you know what to look for in her face and notice her long legs and smooth walking, it's easy to discover her true nature. Animal (Windrunner) - Her horse form is very similar to her human form in some details, but then again how similar can a horse be to a human without looking unnatural? As she is large for her age she's not likely to grow much more, maybe grown up she'll will reach 170cm, but surpassing that is doubtful. She is dapple grey with a strong neck, long, fragile looking legs and is slightly uphill formed. Her mane is mostly darker than her coat, with lighter strands near her back and just reaching past her neck. Her tail is darker in upper part and gradually becomes lighter the longer it is, but it never comes even close to the ground, which sane horse would let their tail be long enough to step on, after all. The light part of her tail is almost always muddy and tangled though, as she does not know anyone who would ever clean it for her. Her face has no dapples on it and is much lighter than the rest of body which along with a slightly concave look makes her seem much more fragile and elegant than she actually is. Character Concept: Personality (human) - She is quite a calm person when with people she knows and trusts, but when with strangers or nervous people she is easily startled and will probably shy away from any contact. Sudden movements and noises can startle her very easily, and walking down a street and suddenly jumping to one side when she sees something sudden in shadows is not an unusual sight. She tends to be shy around intimidating strangers, and when a push comes to shove she will probably try to quietly slink away. Or run away in her full speed, depends on the situation. With people she knows well she is calm and ready to have fun at any given moment. She has nothing against, and indeed, even likes doing things for people she think of as friends, but sometimes, when something rubs her the wrong way, she will get stubborn and absolutely refuse to do something. She is also a very careful person, you can never be too ready for something and buying medicine for various problems, self-defense tools and completely enough money to last for an entire season are only basic precautions in her mind. Personality (animal) - In her horse form she is very flighty and will always choose flight over fight. She has never been ridden and doesn't plan to any time soon. She is pretty head-shy too, in overall she is the usual nervous 2 year old filly. In herd she is the completely tolerant and calm one, quite a difference from when she is alone. When she wants to just be a horse she will probably sneak in a pasture near a stable, and graze together with the other horses, as she often looses time while doing so she sometimes have to sleep in the pasture with them, which usually makes her feel like she has slept better than when sleeping in her own bed. For such a large creature she can be surprisingly quiet, her grey coat helps her to seemingly vanish from sight in foggy winter mornings and she is naturally light footed, no stomping around like an elephant. It's not surprising that Ceruna often feels a bit nervous around cats, it doesn't matter if they are regular cats or Kelvic ones, there just is something about them that unsettles her. Curiously enough, that is not the case with canine creatures, they are much more easier to understand for her. It's not that she won't startle if one of them scares her or acts aggressively, but if they tolerate her or even act friendly, she has no problems at all with talking to them. Likes/Dislikes: She likes to spend cold and foggy morning as a horse playing around or just grazing, it’s relaxing and wakes her up better, than anything. She is an early bird, she likes walking up with sun and enjoying the freshness of mornings. She dislikes eating in her human form and meat in general, it’s too heavy and slimy for her. She often finds herself disgusted when she sees beings eat greasy food and can’t stand eating anything like that herself; it often makes her feel ill in the stomach. The only thing that tastes better than fresh fruits, grass or oats in horse form are dried apples in human form. When asked about jobs she answers that she likes doing little things with clear income. Delivering something or passing on messages is something she likes doing best, it’s easy, simple and doesn't take too much thinking or big decision making. Religion: As of for religions she believes in nothing, and doesn't know a lot about Gods, maybe one day that will change, but that day hasn't come yet. Ethics: She not one to defend strangers from bullies, but when a friend is in serious trouble with the possibility to get hurt, she will probably yank her clothes off, shift and come galloping in the scene while screaming bloody murder. It usually causes enough confusion to breaks up any trouble, even if it is a bit embarrassing. She saves that for truly desperate situations though, she does not like drawing that much attention on herself. For completely desperate situations she has brought herself a knife, it was cheap enough and safety is an important thing for her. History: Pre-playing- Her mother is from Syliras, she is a barmaid and sometimes when she was in a tighter spot would earn some money by giving a pleasurable night to some handsome (or at last tolerable) man. These activities of course ended up with her pregnant. After giving birth she with surprise discovered that her daughter was a Kelvic. She raised her without any problems and regrets, Ceruna was an easy enough kid, the only thing she threw tantrums about was food and her wishes were pretty easily granted. When her mother deemed her old enough to leave her family she paid for her voyage to Alvadas. Now when Ceruna looks back to the day she stepped for the first time on the ship she shudders with dislike. The voyage was quite terrible for her. The ship was small for a horse Kelvic, especially for a young, energetic horse Kelvic who is used to running around every day. Not to mention the fact that time was quite bad, with frequent snowing and sometimes even hail. But when after almost 60 days of travelling she first stepped set her feet on ground you wouldn't have found a happier Kelvic. She couldn't wait until she found a safe place to store her things so that she could finally go running again.   Skills Skill RB/XP/SP Proficiency Running 15SP Novice Escape Artist 10SP Novice Unarmed Combat 10RB Novice Acrobatics 5SP Novice Camouflage 8SP Novice Medicine 6SP Novice Stealth 6SP Novice   Equipment Undergarments Gray shirt Red pants Gray cloak Shoes 1 Waterskin 1 Backpack (comb, brush, razor, soap) Food for 1 week 1 eating knife Flint & Steel Family heirloom (Horse blanket and hood (medium, llama wool)) Dried apples (450g) Myrian Salts (3 doses) Krolar Poultice (8 doses) Narnvayt Oil (4 doses) Lillian Root Tea (8 doses) Cosmetics (450g) Knife [tab]   Ledger Purchase Cost Total Starting +100GM 100GM Housing +500GM 600GM Apples -1GM 599GM Myrian Salts -2GM 597GM 2 Krolar Poultice -1GM 596GM Narnvayt Oil -2SM 595GM 8SM Lillian Root Tea -1GM 6SM 594GM 2sm Cosmetics (c) -1SM 594GM 1SM Knife -5SM 593GM 6SM (c)-common, (r)-rare, etc. [tab]   Languages Language F/B/P Common Fluent Horse-speak Fluent [tab]   Lores Lore of Infiltration in a Horse Herd Lore of Not Shifting for 60 Days and Still Being Sane [tab]   Threads Thread Timestamp Status [tab]   Housing Pre-playing- with her mother.
