Name:Tasha
Age:26
Gender:Female
Sexual Orientation: Pansexual (A bit of a secret romantic. Thinks 'love is love' no matter who its with.)
Craft: Beast Craft
Rank:Journeywoman Beast handler/ Apprentice Wher handler
History: Tasha was.....an accident to put it mildly. Although not an unwelcome one. Her parents were already blessed with two sons who were already proving apt at handling the family farm and the small but stable amount of live stock they looked after. Including HeardBeast, wherries and Even a few old draft runners. When Ghenza had first opened its doors her family had come as simple hard working Farmers since the land they were granted was not really fit for growing crops apart from a small vegetable patch and a few trees they turned to livestock and the Beast craft, slowly gaining more and more knowledge through hard work and experience which was then past down the family lines. And thus the tradition continued to her parents time and her brothers, Her Mother was also the daughter of a healer and was able to incorporate that into her life mates knowledge, making them a valued pair in the community.
Her mother had always wished for a daughter but she was satisfied with her lot in life, her eldest son was about to be lifemated and his father was preparing to divide the land between his two sons when she fell pregnant again. Having belied it was past the time in her life when she could even conceive, it was a great shock. A small mewling baby girl was the result. Weak at birth but quick to gain in strength and fitness she became somewhat doted upon by her parents. Working the small bit of land and the home that her parents had kept for themselves and more importantly absorbing all the craft knowledge from both sides. As she got older and more capable she started not only tending the small plot they had been left with but also taking her parents knowledge and expertise to others in the community. Helping with difficult births of heard beast or lost livestock. As well as setting up defenses against wild wherries and other dangerous creatures that might seek to harm those that lived within Ghenza.
But Tasha's father had always felt a stab of guilt he had not been able to give his daughter the same benefits as his sons. But his mindset and attitude would not allow him to take back anything from his sons that had already been gifted. So he sought another way to make it up to her and give the girl he treasured a solid and secure future in her craft.
To this endhe managed to somehow gain her the chance to go before the gold Wher and take an egg. Although he never would tell her how he managed it. Never the less the end result was that she was given Tashsk. Her grounding in Beast craft giving him a good base to know how to raise him the two bonded quickly as like most animals with intelligence enough to be trainable she found he was more content and happy to have tasks that kept his mind and body active. Tasha clearly continued her craft but with Tashsk was able to travel much faster amongst the farms that needed her help, able to find lost livestock and defend from invaders, in short Tashsk has done what her father intended and truly secured her path in life and her future with her Wher at her side.
Recently her father has become weaker with growing old age and her mother is not as young as she used to be either. Tasha cares for him as much and possible so as a result has become less active in traveling sticking closer to home.
Appearance: Her looks are nothing special, although she is not ugly either there is nothing that really makes her stand out in a crowd
A comely round face with almond eyes the colour of rich dark chocolate set above full lips and a small misshapen nose from when she broke it at a young age and it never quite set right.
Her skin is mocha tan and her hair a plain brown, with a few lighter streaks of sun bleached blond running thought it. Despite the plain colour it is full and thick and well cared for and she has aloud it to grow long, holding it back in a braid from day to day so it has gained a natural wave.
Since she hit puberty as well she has gained full curved of her mother and a tendency to have a little bit of a tummy, but she is not truly overweight in anyway, and her work has lead to strong muscles in her arms and legs.
Personality: The hopeful Cynic. One of the best examples of this being a secret and strong desire for a love outside of her family and those bond but quietly doubting it can exist. At least not for her.And she is very much a traditionalist Ghenza in the way she doesn't belive luck, or any form of divine guidance is a substitute for good old fashioned hard work. There is a logical and reasonable explanation for everything, you just have to know how to look at things. Resulting in a social manner but rather brisk and no nonsense approach to most things in life. Which means she can be stubborn and unyielding. She has greatest faith in the teachings of her father and if someone calls on her for advice she expects them to take it.
On the rare occasion that they refuse to she is unlikely to compromise and will simply leave them up to their own devices and let them fall into whatever misfortune might visit upon them. In her eyes they turned her away and no longer need her help. It takes considerable effort to regain her help and trust after you've lost it but of course she will make some allowances on people challenging her if it's a particularly high stress situation or they are still children.
That stubborn streak also turns into a plosive thing however when it comes to utter dedication to her work there are few that surpass her, she will stay up all night with a sick heardbeast if needed and be ready to go again the next morning onto a new job. If she says she will do a job, then she'll do it. It is as simple as that.
This can lead to occasional case of overworking, luckily her mother is still healer trained and was careful to instill in her the need for occasional rest and relaxation. Which means she is not completely uptight like some, she is very capable of letting her hair down sometimes, joking and laughing. She is just very aware to keep that side of her away from work. Which means when it comes down to a choice between the two she'll take work over her friends. Meaning she has never been good at keeping up those contacts. There are plenty of people she is 'friendly with' and would gladly invite her out to drink but no one she can really call on as a true friend. When she needs someone to turn to it is always to her family. So for a friend to become more important than work to her they would have to become family, and no one has yet managed that.
Other: Tashsk is blood bonded to her.
Wher
Name: Tashsk
Function: Load Wher, he carries Tasha's supplies and her from one farm to another and helps at her parents and brothers farms.
Size:Slightly larger than Average for a Ghenza
Apperance: Tashsk
Personality: Although Tashsk was given a small amount of herbal mix the main thing it improved in him was memory so he's really not the brightest glow in the basket, As such he is rather single minded. He adores Tasha and is utterly loyal to her and when she sets him a task he will try his best to complete it just to have her smile at him and praise him. And at any moment he doesn't have another task to keep him occupied his role becomes 'protect Tasha'.
When it comes to others they are rarely good enough to meet his approval and he will look down his snout at them, they will after all never work as hard or be as good as his handler. And Other whers are seen as equally inferior. He also tries to keep people getting to close to Tasha, quite the jealous type and if she over rules him and does show any great affection for another person or wher he can get extremely moody and sullen.
However he will occasionally look at female Whers in a differently way, especially when they are getting ready to rise and some part of his instinct takes over his mind. But this rare and usually this is reserved for other Wher's he doesn't know and thus had chance to find fault with yet.

Unfortunately, we still have a ban on dead parents, sorry. D: All family members need to be alive, unless she was old enough that that wasn't possible (i.e. she's in her fifties or something).
