Belladonna the Fox
Full Name: Belladonna Damson Palmarosa
Call Name(s): Belladonna, Bells
Tribe: Fleuve
Gender: Female
Species: Kit Fox
Nature: Silver-Tongued
Appearance: Bells has a light, creamy peach base coat with silver shading over her back. Her stomach, paws and muzzle are white, she also has a wide white blaze. Her left eye is blue, her right eye is green.
She adorns herself with feathers, dried flowers and bits of fancy metal. She makes these things into bracelets, necklaces and earrings and frequently wears layers of them. She generally wears a dress made of some ancient, discarded flowy piece of purple material. It's feminine and sensuous.
Personality: Belladonna is a fox, right to her core. Rather than work hard to make her living she'd rather wheedle it from others. Bells' true gift is her ability to make others trust her. Her pretty face and way with words have a way of setting others at ease and she knows it all too well. Bells is well aware that she isn't physically strong ... at all ... and thus uses the skills she does have to her advantage.
She has a deep appreciation for the 'good things' in life. Pretty trinkets, fine honey meads and pretty clothing are all things she appreciates. Her love of pretty things ties into a love of literature. She adores stories with pretty heroines and happy endings.
History: Living in Flueve, like many of the other residents, she lives as a trader, buying and selling goods up and down the river off of a boat. She employs her skills to get higher pricers than her goods deserve and manages to buy them for less than they are worth.
She specializes in luxury goods and trinkets. She makes most the trinkets herself, having a good eye for details. The other luxury goods are things she has traded for her self-made trinkets and will trade again for things that she needs. She lives a good life, but isn't overly wealthy.
Bells has lived in the Flueve her entire life. Her mother took off when she was young, leaving her to grow up on her own. Before her mother left Bells picked up two skills from her - a silver tongue and the ability to swim. She kept herself alive by smooth-talking her way through her youth. Bells is crafty and is more than happy to put herself before everyone else.
