Ife Whipmane

of the Emerald Clan
Formerly Ife Windstride of the Amethyst Clan

History
They were far from home, but both were skilled hunters and accompanied by mercenary guards, so there was little to fear. That did not stop the Inartan couple from being slain, ripped to shreds. Only one member of the travelling party lived: a three-year old girl. Her survival was nothing short of a miracle, and it completely shocked the Drykas hunting party that stumbled upon the gruesome remains of her family and friends twenty-four bells later. The child was quickly scooped up and taken to back to the travelling tent city for much needed care and attention.

Sixteen years later, Ife remembers nothing of her life before Endrykas. She knows not her original birth name, or even her true birth date. But this bares little on the young woman's everyday life: one would never know that jovial redhead's existence had started out so viciously. After being taken in by Braken Windstride of the Amethyst Pavillion and his his wife, Ife was bought up surrounded by love and affection, as any child should be. She has since embraced Drykas culture like one born to it, though her family has always made every effort to include as many Inartan-related cultures to Ife's upbringing.

Psychology
Ife is no quiet wallflower. Of Inartan heritage and bought up amongst the Drykas, this young woman has comfortably found her voice and the fire that burns in her belly. She is passionate and headstrong, but quick to grow bored and restless. Because of this, Ife is the type to have her interest caught by many types of skills or hobbies, but she soon becomes uninterested. She certainly prefers doing rather than thinking or talking, and the activities she most prefers are those that are active and have her constantly on the move. Weaving and carving, for instance, are not skills that Ife would ever consider learning. At times, her temper is quick to flare up, and in these instances, the best Ife can do is stalk off in a sulk.

Appearance
Ife is a perfect representative of her Inartan brethern: she is small in height (standing at 5'3), with freckle-covered pale skin and green eyes that flash with passion and flair. Her red hair, of course, is the greatest give away for her bloodline: it burns with an almost unnatural redness.

Despite her outwardly Inartan appearance, Ife's body also represents the culture in which she has grown up. Her hair is more often than not decorated in some sort of complicated braid, pinned up high on her head or snaking it's way down her back. Likewise, her clothing is purely Drykas in style: usually purple to reflect her pavilion and loose-fitting. She currently has two tattoos: the wind marks on her back, that take the form of a complex pattern of lines and angles, and a small feather on underside of her left breast. Her right ear is decorated with a total of four piercings, in which she wears a combination of small hoops and stud earrings.

by **Ife** on November 20th, 2015, 11:17 am

Relationships, in progress

Braken Windstride, NPC	Father	Braken discovered the three year-old Ife the day after her Inartan family was killed. Helpless against the little girl's plight, he scooped up the young redhead and carried her back to Endrykas. Braken fought passionately in order for Ife to remain with his pavilion, and as such they have an incredibly close bond.
Mea Windstride, NPC	Mother	Whereas Braken was instantly welcoming for Ife to join their family, Mea was hesitant. She was an anxious mother at the time, concerned that the addition of a new child might upset her young family. But her fears were quelled once she realised that her maternal love could be easily stretched to the Inartan child.
Royce Windstride	Brother	As the oldest son to the Windstride pavilion, Royce is a man with many responsibilities pressed upon him. He is a new father, a keen hunter and an incredibly protective older brother. Though incredibly busy with his own family, he and Ife remain close.
Anya Blackwheat (neé Windstride)	Sister	When Ife was a silent child who found herself lost in Endrykas, separated from her Inartan family, it was Anya who initially broke through her fear. With patient, time and determination, the young Drykas girl pulled Ife out of her shell and into their horse culture.
Breet Windstride	Brother	Only 1 year older than Ife, Breet has always been light spirited and playful with the Inarta. When all others observed her with concern and worry, Breet simply regarded Ife as a new playmate. Her silence, to him, simply meant that she would not call his games stupid. AS OF 33RD WINTER 515AV: Breet has been missing, taken from Endrykas by pirates. His fate is unknown.
Graham Whipmane, PC	Betrothed/husband	Though they had known each other for some time, with Graham being one of her eldest brother's longest friends, it was not until the 17th Fall 515AV that Ife an Graham's relationship matured in romance. On the 30th Fall 515AV, Graham asked for Ife's hand in marriage the couple officially became betrothed to each other. Their wedding took place on the 5th Winter 515AV

The Flock

	Tizi	Strider, aged 5 years 2 seaosns	Whereas Ife is quick-tempered and hot-headed, her beloved strider Tizi is placid and calm. The two are well suited in that regard: when finds herself in need of a quiet centring, Ife seeks out the companionship of her Strider who, after all, did cement her status in Drykas society.
	Food	Peregrine Falcon, hatched 1st Fall 515AV	Food's name comes from the growing appetite he possessed as a young chick. Though he was only placed into Ife's care at eight days old, she has bonded with the young eyas and hopes to train him to as a hunting aid. He is calm around people and other animals, however truthfully his training has only just begun.
