Full Name: Kadryn Naokes Hornwood

Gender: Female

Race: Orderite

Class: Barbarian

Age and Height: About 20 years right now and 5'2"

Font Color: #33A7FF

Distinguishing Features: Long scar from her right cheek down her back to her left hip. Huge bite scar on her left shoulder. She is shorter than most her age. A smaller scar across the bridge of her nose. Blue skin/eyes/hair. Tomboy in her clothing and actions.

Likes: Art, flying, getting dirty, exploring, the wilderness, stories, cooking.

Dislikes: Arrogant people, those who rest upon their parent laurels instead of going out and earning their own reputation. Those who destroy or try to tame the wilderness. Crowded cities. Being insulted in battle (like an opponent acting like she's not a worthy opponent and not putting in any effort to beat her.) Being treated like she's worthless (guaranteed to make her blow up at you!)

Strengths:She is fearless in the wilds, always willing to take that first step. A strong body and nerves of steel make her perfect for taking tons of damage, and her berserker blood makes her a dangerous opponent. An open mind and heart, she won't judge you until she's gotten to know you.

Weakness: Crowded area's (unless it's a festival) cause her become quiet and shy; coupled with her smaller size, she'll often get passed over or ignored in those situations. The older she gets, the less nervous she is. Not too into schooling and she is slower to learn from books and lectures than most. And she has a tendency to go berserk when in battle.. not a good thing when sparring!

Fears:Returning home only to find her family dead. Being stuck in school, forever denied the joys of traveling. Being crippled and forced to stop exploring and fighting. Afraid that people are afraid of her because of her berserker side.

Quirks: She is often protective of those who act childish/innocent (they remind her of her little brother). Also likes to play games with others, messy activities are the best!

Personality: Kadryn loves to cook, draw and explore. She adores stories and playing with water and dirt (much to her mother's dismay). She is easily lost , although she can use a map to keep herself from getting lost (usually...). She loves to wander the forests around Lake Tyluafel as well as swimming. She also has an overactive imagination. Arrogant people irritate her. She enjoys taking them down a peg or two. A bubbly person, don't make her mad; she is a barbarian and will go into a berserk rage if pushed.

Description: Shorter than most of her generation, Kadryn has tousled blue hair and a deep blue eyes(an oddity among her people). She is lean but strong. Her pale blue skin is often sunburned and has several small scars along her arms and legs and one large scar from her right cheek to her left hip. Her knees and shins almost always have bruises; her hands are usually covered in dirt. Her hair is cropped short to make it easier to manage; though with their waviness, it always looks tousled. She prefers comfortable clothes and pants with lots of pockets. She often has a belt with several pouches for holding interesting rocks and her drawing utensils. Her traveling pack often contains some spices and cooking utensils, her sketch book, and a blanket for her hikes/camping expeditions. Her bag also holds all her dragon souls and potions. 'You never know when you'll need it' is her motto. Her wings are large for her size. It enables her to carry another person her size or smaller around, which is rare for Orderites. The wings have long feathers and are very fuzzy looking. The color is a blue that's a shade darker than her hair.


Background: A quiet child, Kadryn lives on the northern bank of Lake Tyluafel. Her town is a small community of crafters and farmers that has a unique and extensive bath system designed especially for tourists, children, and elders to safely bath in the healing waters of Tyluafel. There is also a small school for those who don't want to leave for the academy; they have some teachers, but nowhere near the expertise of the academy instructors. Kadryn relies on her father and uncle for teaching more than the school. Her father is a smith and her mother a chef for the Wind Cafe. While Kadryn doesn’t take after her father in crafting skills, she has turned out to be a decent cook. Her mother’s cafe often hosted traveling bards. They would sing and tell stories for their food. This is probably where Kadryn gained her love of stories and fairy tales.
As a toddler she adored listening to tales of hero’s and quests; now older, that love has transformed into a passion for exploring and adventuring. Often she would recreate these tales in her imagination and then re-enact them, though they never seemed to end properly as Kadryn would often end up lost, hurt, or breaking something. Her dream is to explore the Kawyn Ruins and the other lands. These many mini-adventures of her child hood home have led to a higher tolerance of pain and stamina. Though her mother thinks it's cause Kadryn is always swimming in the healing waters of Tyluafel and has absorbed some of the healing powers.

While many of her school mates are good with their hands and creating devices from the earth, Kadryn has always preferred to draw and play with water and dirt. An overactive imagination has led her to be better at planning and designing than actually implementing and building her designs. She seems to be more interested in going places alone and seeing the world than socializing and playing with friends or crafting. She has ditched the required schooling many times because the "weather was too nice to be stuck in a room with stuffy kids and boring teachers." The only reason she puts any effort into the classes is because they are her ticket to exploring other islands. Because of her truancy, she is behind where she should be. Her father, noticing that she didn't put much effort into the classes, began to teach her at home and require proof of studying before he would let her go outside to play.

She has a few friends, mostly other children met while exploring. She’s not close to any, mostly preferring to be alone; but every now and then Kadryn craves company, and will go seeking these few friends to see if they wish to play. This is also one of the reasons Kadryn dislikes school, all the other kids she likes are in higher levels than her.

Her parents, though they love her, don’t wish her to leave. They worry that she will get hurt or lost again, and this time they won’t be there to save her. Like they did with the accident that caused the scar on her back. It came from when she was really little and wandered too close to a cliff edge. The ground crumbled beneath her and as she tumbled down the cliff edge, her wing was broken as she tried to fly to safety and she was slashed open by the sharp edge of a protruding rock slab. Luckily her parents were nearby and flew down to her immediately; ever since then, her parents have been a bit over-protective and worry every time she leaves the house to explore.

She knows that her parents love her and that her explorations worry them, but she can't keep her eyes from looking at the horizon and wondering what lies beyond it. She also knows the world is a dangerous place. But as a child, she hasn't quite thought that something really bad will happen to her, even though it already has happened once.

Kadryn loves her family, especially her baby brother, Fallon. He is a captive audience for her stories and re-enactments. Her parent enjoy watching her play with her brother, it means some quiet time for them when they don't have to worry about Kadryn getting lost or hurt because she never leaves their small garden when playing with Fallon.

Changes and New Discoveries as Kadryn Grows:: Kadryn is finding out that she has a berserker's heart dwelling inside her. She also no longer fears fighting something bigger than her. And that fighting (or a death or life situation) fills her with joy, exhilaration, and energy. Her confidence in battle is beginning to translate to social situations. She no longer stutters and mumbles when meeting new people. She has discovered that there are different types of anger the burning but brief anger that she's always known, and now the cold silent anger that she feels. This anger is like an ember, you can't tell it's there, but can flare up at any time. She now hates enemies that look down upon her and won't treat her like a worthy opponent.

She's getting more confident. And her friend, Smilira, has finally convinced her to wear nice clothes.. though she changes out of them and back into her old comfortable clothes when she goes Adventuring or Hunting.

She's gotten a large bite mark on her shoulder from a Dragon and a smaller scar across her nose from a different battle. As she's grown older, her eyes have lightened up, but her wings have darkened in to a dusty dark blue gray color. Plus she has grown her second set of wings.

After her Berseker scene in the Citadel Kadryn flew off to be alone and try to learn control. She really did try, but it took Kavanna to show her what she needed.
For a while Kadryn hadn't been challenging herself really.. so she hadn't felt happy in fights so facing Kavanna is like facing her first Dragon all over again. Dangerous, certainty of pain and chance of death. A battle where she can rage but be happy, not I'ma gonna rend you to pieces! dark rage but a I'll have fun dying or killing happy rage.

Basically she just needs to not get angry or afraid in battle and the rage doesn't make her rend people to shreds or want to. If she's enjoying the fight then the rage just fuels her though she is still dangerous and can/will hurt you in either rage.

Pets:
Leirs: Borgnah from 7th try. He has been trained (with help from the Gaili Teshan in the Wild Tribe) to be Kadryn's Mount. She doesn't take him everywhere as many towns won't let him in since they are known to eat children and stuff. If she needs to leave him somewhere, the Tribe always is willing to help out.

CHILDREN: Tarlen and Peralian! Kadryn adores her kids, despite the mischief they make! Attack her children and risk a berserk rage!

Mother: Laasya : ART REF : An excellent cook, she works for a cafe. She is neither a great fighter nor mage; with only a small amount of power in her, she focuses what little she has on healing. Her eyes are the same dark blue as her daughter's. She has never ventured far from her home village until Naiser came along. After several years of marriage (in which Naiser often left to fight dragons) she discovered she was pregnant. She demanded that her husband find a job nearer her so that they could both look after they're child. After that, he found a job with a smith in her town. Kadryn, though daddy's little girl, always makes time in her busy play schedule to go and watch her mother cook in the cafe. Some times Kadryn helps too. Laasya enjoys these periods of time where she can actually keep an eye on her wayward daughter.

Looks: Laasya was short and thin, and had pale blue skin and long straight silver hair. Her eyes were a darker shade of blue just like Kadryn's. She usually wears simple dresses with quiet designs dress with an apron over it. Apron usually has stains and spots on it from cooking and looking after her children.
Speech: #9F81F7

Father: Naiser: Originally an excellent tracker and dragon slayer, he found love in a small village with a cook, Laasya. After his marriage, he tried to go back to hunting and slaying, but found his heart wasn't in it anymore. He had found something more important to him than fame and skill. When he found out that they had a child on the way, he began looking for jobs other than shedding blood. When she came to him and told him to stop leaving for long periods and find a job closer to home, he had just found out that an old friend of his from school had opened up a smithy in her village and needed help. Quickly learning the necessarily skills of a smith, he became a boon to his friend and was asked to stay on permanently. He found that a steady job had the added benefit of eating his wife's cooking every night. As such he finally began to gain weight.. though it's still not noticeable since he works out and his smith work burns most of his fat away so he's still got a tall lean build.
Naiser also adores his daughter, she's 'his' little girl. He hates it when she gets hurt exploring but knows that that is the way to become stronger.

Looks: Tall and lean, his wipcord like body has a bit more muscle mass on it now from his smithing. His hair is wavy and pale blue purple. His skin is the same pale blue as Kadryn's and his eyes are a golden color.
Speech: dark blue

Younger brother: Fallon: Born when Kadryn was 6, Fallon is pampered by everyone. Kadryn adores having a baby brother to tell stories to and take care of. His eyes are a light blue instead of dark blue like Laasya and Kadryn. Fallon wants to be a smith like his father. He adores fire and metal and creating stuff. He has shown no interest in dragon hunting, something his mother is relieved about. Especially since he's shown skill and a deep interest in cooking.
As he's grown: Fallon is interested in being a smith. Still adores his older sister and loves being an older brother himself. A prankster, he's much more outgoing than Kadryn.

Looks: He has his fathers pale blue purple hair, but it is straight like his mothers. His eyes are a paler blue than his mothers and his skin is a pale blue like both of his parents.
Speech:#0040FF

Baby Sister: Mikka: Born when Kadryn is 20 and her brother is 14. Mikka is just a child right now. Her older brother likes helping take care of her, though does get tired of her squalling a lot. She is 5 years older than her nephew's Tarlen and Peral.
Looks: will be quite tall and slender, with long straight hair taht's a pale lavender color. Same pale blue skin as all the family has, with gold eyes. Looks a lot like her father! Just feminine.

Speech: pink

Adopted Aunt: Talia Perinth:: ART REF : She owns Wind Cafe, where Kadryn's mother is the head cook. Kadryn was practically raised in the cafe, so she looks up to Talia as an aunt. Talia loves having Kadryn around, she's always helpful and is a decent cook. That and Talia just adores Kadryn anyways, often giving free meals to travelers if they are willing to tell stories and tales of their journeys to Kadryn. This has given the Wind Cafe a good rep among travelers and bards. Talia is a tall and sharp woman. Her hair is unruly and often braided with one very long braid and some smaller ones; it is pink in color. Her eyes are red in color and slanted upwards. She has a quick grin and laughs easily.
Speech: violet

Adopted Uncle: Tarlon Perinth:: Husband of Talia's, he too pampers Kadryn. He is a long time friend of Naiser, Kadryn's father. They used to hunt dragon's together. Tarlon used a mace, but he's hung it up in favor of the peaceful life of a cook. Kadryn loves her 'uncle' and idolizes him a bit too. He's taught Kadryn the basics of how to fight with a mace. Tarlon is tall and bulky, he has pale skin and bright red hair cut short and spiked. He has quite a few tattoos and piercings.
Speech: red

Extra's:
Krelsiarla Lorin: Kadryn's instructor at the small school in her village. Krelsiarla would love to see Kadryn exert herself in the classroom.. not sleeping and ditching class all the time. She has plans for Kadryn... if Krelsiarla can't make her learn, perhaps Kadryn should be sent to the Citadel of the Order, where there will be many teachers to keep her in line. And maybe a stint in the city will tame Kadryn's wild streak... Who knows? Speech:: orange

Kral Rialrgon::An old hunting pal of Tarlon and Naiser's, he is also Kadryn's new teacher. He's a swordsman, but very tough and is a good teacher. He has a tendency to beat his students into the ground until they learn or break. He's newly wed and decided to move to the village when he got a letter for Naiser asking if he could help train Kadryn.. since Tarlon had a full time job and couldn't spend much time training her. Speech :: brown

Smilira:: A new friend. Kadryn met her in People Watching. Smilira is a quiet girl, tall and broader than Kadryn, but sweeter and gentler. It's odd that she choose to be a Barbarian, but Kadryn doesn't mock her for choosing something so bloody and wild when she's so quiet and nice. She tends to get crushes on tall thin beautiful boys. Kadryn likes to tease her about this some days. She has long pale green hair and light silver eyes. Her skin is a tanned brown color.
Speech :: green

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kadryn's thoughts on Dragons and People: While she thinks they are beautiful creatures, she doesn’t see the need to make peace and be friendly with them like some of the other orderites. Her father often tells her about his old life of hunting and dragon slaying. As such, Kadryn knows that dragons are just as perfectly capable of cruelty and death as any orderite, oblivionite, and dovaa. Her father came into contact with all sorts during his travels. He met with dovaa’s who tried to kill him without warning as well as those who healed him. There were oblivionites who were his friends and those who, had they seen him hiding would have killed him without a thought. He also saw orderites who acted as hate-filled and cruel as the stereo-typical oblivionite. All these tales of caution he passed on to his daughter; he knew Kadryn would come into contact with all sorts on her travels to come. She dislikes people who think their parents rank and power makes them better than others (she's already met some orderites who rest on their parents laurels...). Kadryn is a firm believer in you make your own path, and the only thing your parents can give you is love and care. Their power and rank is theirs, you have to earn your own.

Kadryn could care less about your race. She's married to an Oblivionite after all! She dislikes people based on their personality, not race. One sure fire way to piss her off is to insult her friends or family, or treat others with disrespect during battle.

Gotten from here

She lives in a small valley on Ayr that has a stream running through it. There is a barn next to the house, as well as a small smithy.
They have a garden that holds several fruit trees and many herbs, vegetables, and medicinal plants.
The Barn holds a breeding pair of Sherons and Lyru. They produce eggs, feathers, and milk for Kadryn and Kirosh. For meat, they just go hunting in the wilderness all around. Or fishing in the stream. The young are traded to the Wild Tribe or merchants located a weeks travel at the Ferry port town.

There are two Hastars and a Borgnah who roam all around the valley, guarding and protecting it. Kirosh rides the Hastars while the Borgnah is Kadryn's.
