name : Ranaru
nickname : "Rana" or "Ran"
age : 29 Turns
gender : Female
sexual orientation : Heterosexual
status : Single
craft : Woodcraft
specialty : Carpentry
"rank" : Sr. Journeyman Equivalent / possible Master
history : The average backstory of those who are born and raised in Ghenza, Ranaru is a member of a three man house unit. The only child by her parents, not for a lack of trying but rather for a lack of wanting more, she was swiftly raised in her father's craft to become a carpenter. She took to the Craft like a bird takes to the open sky, her mind eagerly devouring anything and everything she was shown with unsuppressed enthusiasm.
She attended the touching at twelve turns along with all the others her age, though when she failed to Impress she did not take it to heart, instead choosing to go back and fully embrace the craft her family pursued. Ranaru worked very hard to grow skilled in her craft, staying with her father for longer hours each day and even pestering some of his friends for extra lessons, her goal in mind to be self-sufficient when it came time for her to become an adult. She knew that upon getting married any children she may have had would take their father's craft and that her zeal in Carpentry would probably be for naught, but that didn't mean she couldn't keep at it.
Shortly before her twentieth turn she was given a Wher Egg to hatch and perhaps keep as a pet, the gift given to her for doing so well in her craft and for generally not complaining about always coming home covered in sawdust and whatever else from her day of work. The egg, which turned out to house a very pretty Blue, hatched right on her day of birth, prompting the woman to consider the new 'Ranask' as the best present ever.
While not giving up her family craft entirely Ranaru decided to see if she could actually become a decent Wherhander, trying a hand at different jobs for the beast. Being a load wher involved too many people, same for transport, and it was through these two attempts that Ranask's main personality was shown and Ranaru was briefly injured. She recovered after a brief amount of time but would forever walk with a limp, allowing her to list her partner under the job of assistance wher. However this still seemed to occasionally involve too much human contact, leaving the woman to try her hand one more time at letting him become a Water Wher. It was certainly a job people would be thankful for, with the two allowed to be left alone for most of their working day, and it was through there that the pair flourished.
appearance : Blessed with good height and a firm body structure, Ranaru stands at about 5' 8" and is more than a little toned thanks to her hours spent working at her Craft. Her skin is a healthy tan from her time spent under the sun, and she has started to develop sun freckles on her face and shoulders from the lack of covering on them while she is usually outside.
She has soft reddish-blond hair that has been lightened by her years in the sun, leaving her with natural highlights. Her hair is about chin length and is rather whispy, often framing her face before it fans out to give a windswept look. There are a few sections of her hair that are longer than others, and she missed them when she was trying to give herself a haircut. Ranaru has bright green eyes that she inherited from her mother's side of the family, as her father is more dark in his features.
Her left leg is slightly shorter than her right leg, and is covered in large scars in various state of color. It is the result of an accident she had when she was first starting out as a wherhandler and didn't quite know how to handle the nervous ticks of her growing partner. She occasionally regards the scars with pride, mentioning them as a bond between her and Ranask instead of a painful reminder, though she sings a slightly different tune whenever the wounds ache. Just very slightly.
personality : To be honest, Ranaru is a bit of an idiot in how she deals with social situations and the everyday method that comes with living in Ghenza. She's the type to never let anything bother her and takes the good and bad both in stride, always smiling no matter the situation. Often her smiles have gotten in trouble when used at the wrong times, her attempt to cope being taken as a form of sarcasim or utter disrespect. She means neither thing when she smiles, merely trying to keep her own spirits up, but she does not make an effort to correct any misunderstandings.
A dedicated worker to any cause given her way, Ranaru loves to keep her hands full and busy with any task big or small. She has a bad habit of taking on much more than she can handle at times, never being outright able to refuse aid to a fellow Craftsman or friend, yet somehow she manages to get done whatever is required of her. While that may seem like a good thing she often sacrifices sleeping and eating until a project deadline has been reached and met, leaving her to recover quietly before she foolishly accepts another job. Ranaru has great pride in what she does for Ghenza.
Like the others in Ghenza, Ranaru is deathly terrified of the plague and Thread, mere mention of the subjects enough to cause her to pale and not wish to continue doing whatever it was she currently trying to complete. This can be used as a way to tease the woman, as she's absent-minded enough at times that the slightest distraction can lead her in an entirely different direction for hours at a time, only to let her return just before a project's completion date.
other : Ranaru walks with a noticeable limp that sometimes causes her pain on certain days, when the weather changes to rain or grows colder. The limp is the result of an accident when she first received Ranask and learned of his easily frightened and aggressive personality when scared, her leg becoming something of a blocker to his teeth when she tried to rid the area of the object of fear. Ranask does not remember this event and Ranaru does her best to forget it, though her body will always act a reminder over what a fearful beast can do.
Her limp, however, does not impede her in her work at all and Ranaru does not view it as a problem. At worst if it bothers her she simply rides on Ranask while they gather water, or she stays seated for most the day.

 " . . . . . no. "
name : Ranask ( from "Ranaru" )
nickname : "Ruskie"
age : 9 Turns
occupation : Assistance ( to Ranaru, main job ), Water Wher ( secondary )
size : ~15 1/2h
build : Solid, yet slightly lithe
eye color : Generally yellow towards all others, green or blue towards Ranaru
likes : Ranaru, sleeping, giving Ranaru a ride
dislikes : Loud noises, big crowds, having to talk a lot
indepth personality : Unable to afford a large amount of herbs to feed to Ranask, the wher has ended up possessing the equivalent mind skill of a six or seven turn year old human. While he is not overly bright like many of his fellow whers he certain is capable of remembering and performing many tasks, though thankfully the job he and his handler have taken limit how much he actually has to recall. He does not do well in social situations that involve more people than just his handler and a scant few others, his mind easily overwhelmed by all the stimulus.
Occasionally Ranask will become overwhelmed if placed in an unfamiliar situation, such as Ranaru meeting with a large group of unknown people or new whers showing up to assist with gathering water. At these points in time he has been known to show signs of extreme nerves that can lead to aggression, though it has been many, many turns since he has actually lashed out at a person or fellow Wher. It is during these times that Ranaru is extra vigilant, and through her calm reassurance very seldom anything other than growls occur.
Ranask is fiercely loyal to Ranaru, to the point he will try to drive people who have wronged her in the past away before they can cause her more grief. While usually being a good thing since it allows the woman to complete her tasks without interruptions, Ranask is unable to differentiate between a minor offense and a full grudge. Sometimes merely making Ranaru slightly upset is more than enough for the wher to keep people away, and it is through great efforts and reassurance that everything is okay that said people are finally allowed back in the woman's inner circle.
