Age: 17 turns

Family: She is the youngest of seven children, all boys. Her Father is a runnerbeast trainer of some skill and her Mother is a little known weaver. They lived in the Southern Hold.

Description: This ugly duckling matured a great deal and blossomed into a well-figured lean young woman. She hides her body in thick dark green wool clothing, normally she only shows her hands, ankles and her face. A thin burn mark runs from the side of her left cheek down to the meeting of the clavicle and breastbone, and she does little to hide it. Her hazel eyes grew hard through her years holdless and have almost completely lost their sparkle. A deep green simi-translucent cloth covers the top her deep auburn hair that hangs loosely to her waist. She uses that mainly to keep her bangs from her face and to hide as much of her hair as she could until her hair out grew it in lenght.
Personality: Caleten views herself as an ugly and boy like. As a result, she feels no shame in acting like a male. A fighter by nature, she tends to be brazen and bold. Her feelings towards males is a mix of strong dislike and lesser fear of being close to them. When she is comfortable with a situation, she can be very friendly and will almost always lend her help if she feels it is needed, even to a male though she will loudly blame him the whole time.
History: All her mother wanted was a daughter to dress in fine clothing and to show off like she herself was as a child. Finally her wish had come true, only to turn into both of their nightmares. At an early age, Caleten was gangly and gaunt with no grace to speak of. With her dreams seemingly dashed, Caleten's mother turned her bitter disappointment on her daughter often punishing her severely for even the tiniest things. Her father had no love for her but he did use her often in the tasks his sons did not want to do. He even went as far as to say he had eight sons. Finally, after fourteen turns of enduring her mother's hatred and the humiliation she faced every day, Caleten had enough and ran away. As revenge on her part, she stole the family's best runnerbeast and took off into the night with only the cloths she could take and as much of her mother's weavings as the runner could carry.
She learned to fight when she traveled with a caravan of tanners on their way to Rias hold. Her stay with them ended when one of the male apprentices tried to assault her one drunken night. After fixing his male 'problem', she ran, again taking everything she could including two more runner beasts to carry it all. Until the last treadfall, she had been lucky in finding shelter. The last one killed two of the runnerbeasts and ruined much of what she had. In an attempt to survive out in the open with a hurt old runnerbeast, she made a fire with flint stones and waved the burning branch above her to try and burn the thread as she had seen dragons do with their fire breath. It seemed to work well enough, until a burning branch fell burning her. Having nothing left but a few clothing pieced and a lame runnerbeast, she headed towards an uncertain future.
Special: She is a good fighter and has a talent in dealing with animals, runnerbeast inparticular
