Character Name: Cavalesta Fallen-Tooth
~Nickname: Cavi

Race: Gouge
~Subrace: Feline

Gender: Female

Alignment: True Neutral

Age: 16

Faction: Wanderer

Description: 3' 9" normal standing, 5' 3" at full stretch, 73 lbs, dark-red skin which has rune-like patterns carved into both arms, wiry frame and flat chest, but makes up for it with the newly-formed curves signifying her passage into womanhood. Ruby-red cat's-eyes peer out from behind lazy lids, a softly-angled humanoid face and elongated canines, tattered cat ears that stick out diagonally from her head, long, disheveled crimson hair that falls to the base of the spine - some of it in dreads - and small black tufts of fur showing at various edges of her body. In contrast, her large hands carry inch-long claws upon her fingertips, and the palms show wear and tear from her time spent hunting and whatnot. As well, her body has a few scars from the scrimmages she has endured.

A slender black, short-furred tail almost as long as she is tall (about 3' 5" long) twitches behind her, moving of its own accord and can easily wrap around her body several times; it sports a diamond-shaped blade at the very tip, usable in combat. Legs are very cat-like, with backwards knees, half-inch-long claw-laden human-like feet, and red-black fur. Everything about her is softened, however, in a fading child's aura, having yet to develop the jagged edges of an adult of her kind.

She often wears whatever rags will cover her at the moment, and can always be seen wearing a black cloak that covers her down to her tail, which helps to keep the elements off of her. Cavi has worn clothes since she was young, so unlike some of her kin, she is used to a dirty pair of baggy pants and a sleeveless shirt that has seen better days; however, due to her nature and personal preference, she wears no undergarments nor shoes, and only wears a hat when need-be. Can also be seen wearing primitive jewelry made from bits of bone, teeth, and shiny bits of metal woven onto various necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and piercings.


Personality: Despite her race and appearance, Cavi is rather docile for one of her species due to her upbringing, her main aspiration being to simply survive. Often found wandering from place to place, she accepts any and all gifts, only causing a fight if someone tries to take her food away, or starts harassing her in any manner, but especially sexually. Doesn't mind being touched, as long as someone doesn't grab her tail or ears suddenly. When forced to fight, her technique is messy, unfocused, and violent, like most of her kin; she prefers to use her long legs to run away, anyhow.

Besides that, she is easily distracted, only occasionally able to keep her attention focused for longer than a few minutes at a stretch. Has a dislike for the blood sacrifice of her people, although she has participated in them upon more than one occasion, even when she was young. Has difficulty speaking other languages other than her native tongue, but is slowly learning.

In relation to most others, her loyalty shifts between fight to fight, depending upon whom she thinks will keep her alive the longest; she has been known to switch sides during a fight, if only because she might have a better chance with another. However, when one earns her sworn trust, she viciously protects said individual, seeing them as a member of the family she never truly had. Once attached, she will follow the individual anywhere they go; as long as they continue to keep her company, she will be there, much like a pet (though it's best not to say that out loud).

Likes: Her freedom, nice people, easy food, jewelry
Dislikes: Being held down or forced to do something, difficult prey, mean people and perverts (of any race)


History: Born in Mahaagrah not long after the Demon Scourge ceased, Cavalesta was taken from her parents at a young age (no older than fourteen seasons old, or about four and a half years) and raised a "servant" for much of her early life. In terms that are more suitable for common speech, even as a child she was taught to be catered to those individuals with... unusual tastes in their women. Because of this, she quickly learned how to keep her head down and out of sight when the guards came looking for her. As Cavi grew older, the problems only got worse; eventually, she quite hiding, since doing so only warranted harsher punishments when they found her.

However, there were some benefits of living where she did. Unlike most of her kin, she was raised with some ability to read and write in the universal language used by the Unchaste, though not much, given what she was supposed to be trained for. As well, she learned a little of the politics and inter-workings of the government systems in place. Beyond that, she also learned how to cook, some sewing, and other useful survival skills that would suit her when she left this place.

Even when she gained her "freedom" at the age of 13, those whom had become accustomed to her services made it extremely difficult to live anywhere away from them. And thus she did the one thing no one ever expected her to do: she left, heading to The Scratch, settling in with the few of those that lived there all the time, and the occasional visitor. Knowing so little of her race's culture or religious affiliation, she dived into the culture before her, learning as much as she could about her own kind. And that was when the dreams started, about a year and a half after she entered The Scratch.

It began small, just a few vague images that startled her awake, and were soon forgotten. Before long, however, the dreams became clearer and clearer, showing terrible things happening, by creatures that were frightening in appearance, tearing apart all they could get their hands on. Were these images of the past, or the future? One thing was certain: they were not simply nightmares. They came nightly, often for weeks on end, disallowing any sleep.

Finally, one night, Cavalesta awoke to find bloody marks scratched all over her body, her blood flowing freely from every wound. Strangely, none of it hurt. Afraid, she showed the elder of the small tribe living there, but he could not explain it. Said wounds cleared up within hours, but the scars left behind reminded her of what had happened. After the event, she was told that it may be best to see the Gouge leader of the Red Stone nexus, within the Valley of the Bones. Half a year has passed since the day she set off, and this is where Cavi's story truly begins...
