  Name: Faris Llewellyn Dalziel
Alias: 'Ris, 'Rissy
Hair: Black with multicolored streaks; Short
Eyes: Bright Green
Height: 4'4"
Build: Slender
Age: 9 - 11 [Kid]
Race: Curio [Stone Gargoyle]
Outlook: Fairly Optimistic
Martial Status: Single
Occupation: Guardian!
Dominant Hand: Ambidextrous
Handwriting: Somewhat messy, child-like
Text Color: #4e1967 [Looks like this.]
Image Songs: Chairlift - Bruises
Nelly Furtado - Turn Off the Light
Distinguishing Features: Fangs: She has a set of prominent canines, though they don't take over her mouth but they are there for all to see when she grins or just generally opens her mouth. They are just the right size to allow her to talk properly and be understood and not bite herself every five seconds which is key since she eats a lot.
Long Tail: Her tail is visible and drags a bit on the floor behind her unless she holds it up. She seems able to move it about and lightly and very weakly grip things with but for the most part it isn't useful as a prehensile tool at the moment if at all. She likes to adorn her tail with shiny jewelry or just tie things on and drag it by her tail behind her for her own amusement (strange child).
Curled Horns: Her horns are curled and grow from the top of her cranium it seems. She doesn't seem to use it for anything but they'd certainly be useful for defense and offense if she decides to employ them in such a manner. Thus far they are just strange adornments that make Faris what she is. Thus far she doesn't pay them much mind but would probably miss them if they went away. Poof!
Lower back wings: Her wings are bat-like and positioned on her lower back. They move and flutter easily if she chooses to do so. It isn't certain yet if she will ever fly with them or can fly with them but she certainly could make herself look bigger and more intimidating if she had to. In the end she might also be able to use her wings to buffet her foes away from her or to stall them. For the most part, since she is so active, her wings are kept tucked close to her body.
Odd Tidbits:
Sunshine Lethargy: During the day she's not as energetic a lot of the time unless it is a cloudy day and even then she is a little bit drowsy. Give her a sunny spot and a few minutes in it, however, she will nap in it and sun herself quite gleefully. She loves the feel of the sun against her skin and the way it makes her warm all over as she snoozes along.
Energetic Night-crawler: She is a lot more active in the evening hours and will try to find excuses to not sleep at night but she'll usually get herself to sleep since most of her friends tend to be daytime folk at this juncture and she doesn't want to miss spending time with them. Thus there doesn't seem to be very interesting going on at night right now. At least nothing that a kid would be interested in...
Sinks like a Rock: On her own Faris is pretty heavy and hard to pick up if someone tries and if she ever decides to turn into deadweight she doesn't go anywhere she doesn't want to. If you add water to the equation she doesn't seem to have any form of natural buoyancy at all and tends to stay at the shallower parts of water if she absolutely has to play in it.
Odd manner of Speech: She has an odd way of speaking meaning she won't use absolutely perfect grammar or even say things in manner that is considered 'normal'. For example instead of saying 'I am Faris' she says 'I y'am Faris' and it might cause some to tilt their head a bit at how the 'y' got into the equation. For the most part she is pretty clear when she does speak it just seems a little odd at first.
Four-to-Five Word Personality:
Loyal, Determined, Exuberant, Protective, Tomboyish
Personality:
To say that she is a tomboy would probably be putting it mildly. She likes to tussle, explore, climb things, and just generally get extremely dirty and make sure her clothes are good and torn up by the time she gets back to her mother to get them cleaned. She does have a gentle side though it comes out more when she is dealing with animals, things, or people under her care, but other than that she is rather rowdy and rough around the edges and sometimes it is uncertain if she has manners or not (she tries though, she really does)! Sometimes Faris forgets that she is even a girl in the first place and it is easy to see by the way she roughhouses with anyone that allows it.
All in all she has a very exuberant personality that seems hard to dampen no matter what is said and done. She seems to take insults with the grain of salt and if it is bad enough she might return the sentiment with a cheeky smile and a smug expression.
Once you befriend her that seems to be the end of it. She stands by her friends through thick and thin and will protect them no matter what. She also will protect people she doesn't know especially if they are weaker or just generally outnumbered and she doesn't see the odds as being 'fair' and wants to even them out a bit. She is a very valiant child.
Fears: Being helpless or unable to protect someone or things. Drowning. Failure.
Issues: She is easy to manipulate especially if she likes the person that is trying to manipulate her to their will. If you are able to convince her that your cause is the 'right' one to fight for she will go all out even if it is wrong in the end.
Aspirations: To be a great guardian or to be a knight!
Short-term Goals: Figure out what is carved in the tavern tables
Long-term Goals: Learn how to sword fight
Hobbies: Adventuring, Making friends, Protecting others, Playing
Talents: Mimicking moves from television and movies (Kung fu, Swordplay), Climbing (Trees), Tussling, Wrestling, Pretending to be a knight!
Favorites: Books: Fairytales, Adventure Books, Fantasy Books
Music: Fast paced active music, anything she can move to
Movies: Martial Arts/Kung Fu movies
TV Shows: Dragon Ball, Naruto
Games: Anything so long as it is fun!
Colors: Grays, Bright colors
People: Luis, Evari
Animals: Turtles, Fish, Cats
Drinks: Orange juice, Soda, Water
Foods: Anything! She is a walking stomach
Hates: Books: Lonnnnng boring stories and books
Music: Slow music. Too young to appreciate it.
Movies: Romantic movies. >:I
TV Shows: Soap Operas, eugh boring!
Games: Boring games or games that take too long
Colors: Doesn't have a color she dislikes
People: People that don't think for themselves
Animals: Chipmunks and squirrels
Drinks: Fermented drinks, Spoiled drinks
Foods: Spoiled food, Badly burnt food
History: Not a whole lot has happened to Faris that would be of super important note. She lives, she breathes, and she is a gargoyle and is happy with her current lot in life. Sometimes she wishes she could do more but for the most part she is content. Since she has grown she tries to help her mother out a lot more and to do more things on her own...
She's getting to the point where she tries to deny that she was ever a girl to begin with. Though who knows what may happen when nature takes its course and makes her the butt of its cosmic joke!

  Name: Luiseach Muadnait Dalziel
Alias: Lu, Luis
Hair: Blood Red; Waist-length, curly
Eyes: Ivy Green
Horns: Light brown
Skintone: Medium tan
Height: 5'
Build: Slender, slightly curvaceous
Age: 32
Race: Satyress (or Faunesse if you prefer)
Outlook: Some pessimism
Martial Status: Single; Widowed
Occupation: Tavern Owner: The Blue Moose
Dominant Hand: Left
Handwriting: Neat and slightly slanted
Text Color: #1482D7; [Looks like this.]
Image Songs: Trevor Hall - Beautiful Lunatic
Ingrid Michaelson - Be Ok
Family: Farrel Dalziel (Husband; Dead) - Tavern Co-Owner; Not much is known about Farrel since Luis doesn't talk much about him. Any fond memories she has of the man are locked in her heart and kept there. Those that have been with their tavern since the day it opened all remember Farrel as a kind, strong man and a loving husband. Farrel was a half-giant. He had died from a fall off the roof which instantly broke his neck.
Distinguishing Features: Horns: Her horns are light brown and are more useful for head-butting someone into submission than they are for any real piercing of anyone's flesh, not that Luis is a violent individual but the option is there none the less. She doesn't seem too embarrassed by her horns and might even adorn them with something every now and again if she finds something that would look alright. Luis takes care of her horns. No matter her form her horns are always visible.
Pointed Ears: Her ears are pointed similarly to elven ears. There is nothing particularly fancy about them but she does have them pierced and will often adorn them with pretty earrings and the like. Much like her horns this particular feature is visible no matter what form she is in.
Goat Legs: Unless she performs 'Trickery' her legs are shaped like that of a goat. She doesn't really have a reason to hide her legs from view and the reason why she did it in the first place is now deceased and out of her life. Luis has gotten lazier and lazier about when she performs the 'Trickery' or not especially since she has a rather energetic child to look after she doesn't often have time or inclination to think about whether or not to hide her legs for her own amusement. Naturally she doesn't wear any pants when she prefers to walk about in her 'true form' but her modesty is somehow very much preserved, it's probably better not to ask questions. The explanation might make your head hurt.
Tail: Her tail is what might cause some question as to whether or not she is a 'true blood' satyr. It is longer than a goat's tail and ends in a blood red tuft of hair (matching her hair color). Luis will be the first to admit that her bloodline is rather mixed but since a majority of her family tree is filled with satyrs she does not really feel the need to split hairs and simply proclaims her race to be that of the satyr bloodline.
Odd Tidbits:
Trickery: Power; The ability to hide her true form from others. Most of the time it is active usually others only see a short-ish woman with pointed ears and horns. Since the death of her husband, however, she is steadily getting lazier about keeping it up.
Imperfect Trickery: Flaw; She is unable to hide her true self completely for some reason. Luis doesn't particularly care enough about the skill to look into why this is the case.
Soil Alcohol: By touching her fingertip into an alcoholic drink she can make it taste very bitter to the point that it would be considered undrinkable. It takes a couple of moments to activate and she only uses it when someone displeases her and she feels like being very passive aggressive. If the target insists on drinking more after noting the bitter taste they will eventually start wretching up all the alcohol they had drank that night, thus sobering them up rather easily.
Cause Impotency: Mostly directed at men this power can cause a man who thought he was 'ready and willing' to suddenly not be so when the moment comes to enter coitus. Again this power is activated by touch and not really used unless she feels rather angered by the person in question and since she wants to deal with people that anger with her as little as possible (much less touch them willingly) the power goes rarely used.
Four-to-Five Word Personality:
Honest, Motherly, Morbid, Fun-loving, Observant
Personality:
Luis does not believe in lying and will often tell what she thinks rather bluntly and will not do otherwise, she does not really believe in sparing the feelings of others but she will be tactful about it if at all possible. She does not like to lie at all and outright refuse to do so even if someone begs it of her. She does not feel that there is anything to gain by omitting the truth or even changing it entirely just to suit someone else's needs much less her own. This can make her someone's greatest friend or their greatest foe.
She is rather observant and watches others rather closely to see how they behave and react in any given environment. First impressions are rather important to her but she will give others multiple chances to prove to her who they really are if she believes they are hiding something or if they simply got off on the wrong foot with her. Luis doesn't mean to seem judgmental but sometimes that is how others might read how she behaves toward others.
The satyr has a very mothering and nurturing side to her that comes out when she feels that someone needs to be taken care of. She doesn't hide it or deny it but she doesn't like being teased about it unless the person doing the teasing is a good friend or has at least known her for a good amount of time. She tends to feel motherly most toward those that are younger than her, have a child-like demeanor, or just seem completely incapable of taking care of themselves for some reason (injured or otherwise).
She can be a little morbid from time to time, having dark thoughts that creep up into her mind, it is probable that it comes from the fact that she still deeply mourns for her lost husband though she never really talks about him. She keeps thoughts about Farrel deep in her heart and refuses to talk about him because she fears as if speaking or sharing the memory of him with others might be the same as 'letting go' or even on the road of forgetting him in general.
Luis can be rather fun-loving, like most satyrs, she likes to enjoy herself. Sometimes she'll get the odd mischievous streak and play a prank or two, but otherwise she just simply behaves in a playful manner and even teases others a little. She likes to show her fun-loving side more than anything else because it doesn't let people know if there anything wrong with her at all.
All-in-all Luis is a good friend and will be more than happy to sit and listen to anyone that needs someone to truly listen to them and need someone that is an impartial party to a problem they might have. She is a very loyal being and will do anything and everything for her friends that is in her ability if she can.
Fears: Death of anyone close to her and failing Faris in any way at all.
Issues: She is not coping well with the death of her husband.
Aspirations: To keep her tavern going.
Short-term Goals: To get her new tables in, finally.
Long-term Goals: To try and live her life as best as she can.
Hobbies: Brewing, Reading, Playing the lute, Playing card games, Dancing, Gardening
Talents: Flexible, Cooking, Weaving (Loom), Mixing drinks, Herbalism
Favorites: Books: Steamy romance novels, Comedy, Creative Non-fiction, Fiction
Music: Anything with a good beat behind it and not a bunch of mindless screeching.
Movies: Anything at all so long as it is entertaining and filled with stupidity.
TV Shows: Anything - Favors cooking shows and a couple of different comedy shows and drama shows
Games: Anything so long as everyone has fun
Colors: Bright vibrant colors
People: Anyone that is honest and hardworking
Animals: Cats, Owls
Drinks: Rum, Ale, Any fruit juice, Milk
Foods: Steak (medium rare), and Mashed potatoes. In sweets she adores anything with honey.
Hates: Books: Anything that is stagnant and lacking in creativity. If it doesn't hold her interest she does not wish to read it.
Music: Anything lacking in beat and rhythm
Movies: Much like books she doesn't like movies that drag on or are boring.
TV Shows: Anything that doesn't keep her interest or is too dry and boring.
Games: Boring games or games made boring with overly serious attitudes and overboard 'I MUST WIN' behavior
Colors: Dull and non-vibrant colors
People: If you're a complete d**k to her chances are ... she won't like you.
Animals: None, she actually likes even the most disgusting creature out in nature
Drinks: Likes almost all drinks unless it is far too bitter, revolting, or too odd of a mix
Foods: Burnt food, Badly cooked food, Food that is spoiled.
 History:
Even for a satyr Luis lived a pretty mundane life. She was pretty happy with where she was in life and for the most part didn't seek or quest for more or to better herself in some way because she felt she was perfectly fine and if someone disagreed they could kiss her fuzzy a**.
It wasn't until she had met Farrel - a half-giant -. She had found Farrel while gathering herbs in the forest. The half-giant was badly beaten by full blooded giants who felt that his half-blood was a taint upon their glorious race. Some how Luis managed to get Farrel to stand - she certainly couldn't carry him - and got him to her small home which happened to be situated not too far away. Gradually she had nursed him back to health and the pair had formed a good solid friendship which later bloomed into love that eventually became marriage. Luis often tried to make herself look more humanoid using her 'Trickery' just so she'd fit in better with her dearest Farrel and he would do whatever he could to make her happy in general.
Eventually the two decided to open a tavern together within the city nearby to give themselves a project to see through together as well as to enjoy the company of other folk as well.
Disaster struck when Farrel went to the roof to fix up the shingles and to mend any holes that had formed over the past months since the last time he had gone up there. Alas his footing slipped and he fell to the ground below in a manner that cleanly broke his neck and he died instantly. Luis grieved for many months and is still grieving. Sometimes she goes through moments where she overanalyzes the situation and assigns herself guilt for not being more attentive or making damned sure that her husband was more careful and took better precautions.
She still runs the tavern though with not as much fervor as when she had Farrel at her side helping her along, but she still tries. Recently she has found herself responsible for taking care of a small gargoyle child she has named Faris (a slight homage to her husband in a round about way). Luis finds the strength to carry on thanks to her adopted daughter.

 Sarson used to be an elite ninja of the Tortoise Clan until one day he tired of the ninja life and sought an easier life. That is when Faris found him and took him in. She decorated his shell to mark him as under her protection (also because it looked a lot neater that way) and Sarson now makes his home between a large spacious tank with terrain and water and a simple goldfish bowl that is usually just filled with water, and decorated with a lovely bit of seaweed. Sarson does not miss his ninja life (nor his nagging ninja wife).

 EVARI
♥♥♥♥♥ (PROTECTED.)
Evari could be considered as the very best friend that Faris has ever had though that is not saying much since Faris hasn't been 'alive' for very long. She will spend time with Evari anytime hands down. The Gargoyle seems to happily accept and work with her vibrant friend's quirks and behaviors with no complaint at all and will gleefully even act just as weird right along side her. Faris will always watch out for Evari's wellbeing whenever possible whether or not the girl wants her to.
JEZEBEL
♥♥♥ (PROTECTED.)
Faris finds her pretty and a fairly good princess all things considered. They met at a cafe during free cookies and cocoa day and they pretty much tore around the place while playing tag. The Gargoyle would gladly protect Jeze if she should ever need it again, at least she didn't seem to find anything to dislike about the girl. Maybe they'll meet and play again some day.
DEIMOS
♥♥♥ (PROTECTED.)
Their powers got mixed up after a rather strange night when they followed their guardians to the Curio Shop. Initial opinion of Deimos is that he is nice but seems often frightened and vulnerable thus making Faris wish to protect him. All-in-all she wouldn't mind playing with him again if they ever run into each other.
