Profession: Huntress, Leatherworker, Fletcher
PHYSIOLOGY:
Build: Sylvi is tall. Genetics have granted her an odd height for a human woman, and though it pains her occasionally it doesn't affect her quite as it should as per the Valerion blood that runs through her veins. Her legs are long, muscular, and her shoulders are slightly broad with toned and defined arms. While she holds a feminine figure, it's more elongated, less lithe, and perhaps not as attractive to most as a result. She also holds muscle on her frame, most of this is focused in a strong back and arms, from practised archery.
Hair: Deep red curls reach the middle of her back, adorned with various bits of twine and bone pins to keep it out the way.
Eyes: A somewhat piercing light blue gaze that does not come off as overly warm.
Skin: Fair, though somewhat pale.
Identifying Marks: Her height, her hair.
Appearance: She's a tall woman with vibrant red hair and piercing blue eyes, generally covered in leathers and furs as if she lives in the wilderness and prefers less sociable places. She is often carrying all of her worldly belongings on her person, for she has no home but the wilds and she rarely leaves them.
Scars/Tattoos:
+ - A few light scars on her upper arms from various hunts gone wrong.
+ - Bite scars from a large animal on her right lower leg.
+ - Her left forearm has a large white scar on the top from a blade.
Broken Bones: None.
Diet: She eats what she hunts and what she finds in the wilds. From rabbit, to boar, or root plants and berries. She'll indulge herself sometimes and venture into the cities to find some sort of exotic fruit like an orange.
Clothing: Usually comfortable tunics and trousers with sections of leather armour atop it - and layers of thick furs and animals skins depending how far North she is.
Weaponry: A simple but durable bow with etchings along depicting almost runic patterns. A quiver holds arrows of average quality. Also carries a skinning knife, a whittling knife, and a seax.
Prized Possessions:
⌘
QUALITIES AND FLAWS:
Intelligence: Average, knowledgeable a few subjects from her childhood but interacting with people isn't her forte. She can read and write to an average level, but it is not the best. She can however speak and understand both common and elven to a high standard. Her intellect comes from life experience in the wilderness, understanding animals with their anatomy, diets, and habits. How to use what is around her to her benefit.
Known Languages: Common (Fluent) - Elven (Good)
Lures: Places and creatures she's never seen before.
Memory: So-so. Probably good, but she's prone to keeping it to herself.
Allergies: None to her knowledge.
Addictions: None, yet.
Temper: She's rather peaceful, uninterested in fighting people unless necessary.
Sense of Humour: Not really.
Dreams/Nightmares: Sometimes she dreams of her family.
Sleeping Pattern: Light sleeper. Sleeping in the wilds does that.
Hobbies: She likes to whittle things, be it made of bone or wood.
Strengths:
Survivalist || She is a capable huntress, and an excellent navigator of the wilderness. She knows what is good to eat, what to avoid, and how best to deal with many situations and scenarios. She can fix herself up with whats available.
Crafter || She has had to learn how to make most of what she needs, be it her armour and clothing, her weaponry, or her ever temporary shelters and places of rest.
Keen Senses || She sleeps poorly for it, but she is often quite alert and and watchful, always expecting something to lash out at her. Her eyesight and hearing is good, even if she is no elf.
Weaknesses:
Distant || She is somewhat introverted, and not good at dealing with people in nearly any capacity. As a result she seems very distant and uninterested in them, or awkward.
Uneducated || A preferences for the wilderness and the isolation it brings means she has never really focused after her childhood on anything scholarly. She can only just read and write to be at a passable level, nevermind topics of actual study.
Too Tall || Her height is her greatest hindrance in the lifestyle she's chosen for herself, and whilst she's mostly overcame it in many ways it still finds ways to intervene.
Fears:
Loss || She has been a pessimist for a long time, most of her family dying off and only furthering the isolated life she lives. She fears making any ties again only to lose them, too, so avoids making ties altogether.
Captivity || Something about dying or withering away in a man made cell unnerves her. Laws of cities that she doesn't understand might land her in one, even if she doesn't try to actively break laws. It makes her eager to leave.
Height || Her father, as a Valerion, never truly stops growing - And he told her this may be the case for her too. She'd quite like to be several inches shorter, not taller, and dreads the possibility she reaches seven feet in height and her hunting has to take another downturn.
ETHICS AND MOTIVATIONS:
Personality: She is a distant and unsociable sort, often coming off as cold and hard to approach. She might've been loyal to her family once, but there's little left of that now and she has thrown away next to everything to focus on hiding away in the wilderness and continuing to hone the skills of survival. It's an easier mindset to be in.
Religion or Cults: Seems to follow Theodra more than others, simply as a result of her childhood with Somnastra, but these days she doesn't really put much value in any sort of worship.
Alignment: Neutral.
✥ Hunting- Capable. It's her living, and her way of life, so she's certainly above average.
✥ Skinning- Typically a fan of case skinning as it's what she started with, but does know other types of skinning. Prefers to let others do the tanning process, but is aware of it.
✥ Leather working- She knows how to create a good deal of things using leather, but she's not prone to putting effort in beside for it being practical. Boots aren't her forte, but bags, belts, cloaks, and basic armour are.
✥ Whittling - More of a hobby, she can make little figures or beads or other smaller pieces using a variety of materials. Bone, wood, clay, etc.
✥Fletching - Hunting gives her access to feathers, and with these feathers (and glue, and string) she can complete sets of arrows fairly quickly and to a good standard. She additionally puts beeswax on the shafts to preserve them in damp weather.
✥Tracking - Necessary if she wants her hunting to be of any use. Found she had to work extra hard if she did not wish for her height to give her away.
