Character Name: Cataran
Age: 29
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Craft/Rank: Wherhandler
History: As the daughter of two wherhandlers (her mother has a brown, and her father a green), it was more or less inevitable that Cataran would become one as well. Though she spent a few turns as a Candidate, she came to realize that she didn't really want to be a dragonrider, even if they are better-appreciated and altogether more heroic-seeming. She had a much better chance of getting a wher than she did of Impressing a dragon, so she grew out of the fantasy and pursued her parents' craft.
Cataran has been bonded to her guard wher, Catarsk, for eight turns now, and they are blood-bonded.
Description:In excellent shape, but that does not translate to thin. She's a little on the heavy side, being very solidly built and pleasantly curvy, but deceptively strong. She'd be very easy to outrun, however. 5'2," with blue eyes and wavy dark brown hair.
Personality:In regards to personality, Cataran is every bit as solid as she looks. She's a dependable, no-nonsense person with a low tolerance for stupidity, bravado, or anyone who thinks too highly of themselves. They need to settle down, shut up, and do their job, and she has no problem telling someone so if she thinks they're out of line. Her tolerance is slightly higher outside of work, however, and she's perfectly happy to loosen up and have a little fun herself, but in moderation. There's no fun in making a fool of yourself, after all!
As long as you're not pushing her buttons, she's a very pleasant person to be around - even motherly at times, as her innate sense of responsiblity translates naturally into taking care of people. She's quick to notice if something's amiss, and just as quick to ask what that something is. Cataran is nosy, and doesn't think twice before intruding on someone else's business. They don't
have to answer her if they don't want to (although it might take a few tries for her to give up), but she is certainly going to ask. She tends to be especially curious about relationships, perhaps because she secretly wishes to find one herself, being a hopeless romantic at heart.
Wher Name: Catarsk
Wher Color: BlueWher Personality: Catarsk is relatively docile and tolerant of humans other than his handler once introduced, but not of total strangers. He's quite wary of anyone he hasn't met before, but can generally come to accept them if given time, space, and Cataran's approval. Of course, he wouldn't take it well if someone were to threaten her, and he will become defensive if someone upsets her, putting himself between Cataran and the offending individual. He works well with other whers of any color, although he prefers they not get too close to his handler - she's
his, and all her attention belongs to him, thank you. While he doesn't become outright aggressive, he will muscle them out of the way if necessary. This can also apply to people, if Catarsk is feeling particularly jealous.
