Appearance: Jin fiery mane is the first notable thing people notice, it curls and is a bright burnish orange tumbling just below his shoulders.

His eyes are a clear pale brown and surrounded by long pale lashes.
Jin is slight of frame and short, he tops off at 5’7’’ in height. He isn’t intimating but he makes it up in sheer presence. He walks with confidence, good posture, and looks ahead and tends to smile easily when greeting people. He looks people in the eye when talking, or the best he can without straining. He dresses well, his family is incharge Bright Rabbit Run, a hold beholden to High Reaches.
Personality:
History:
Jin is the youngest out of eight and has seven intelligent, shrewd sisters who had everything in hand dealing with inheritance till his birth upset the natural order of things. After twenty four turns of not having a brother, they suddenly get one? Right after their father’s death to a bad case of fever.
Wait, let’s back that up a bit. Asselo and Yynia were not a love match, Asselo was quite a bit older than his bride to be, having lost his first wife and
Asselo – third son of a minor hold – Took to trading
Yynia- only child to a rather well off rancher / minor colthold
Cothold – vein of copper / load of black rock
27 / 16 / Jin – 40
Name: Jinni – formally it Josk but Jin finds it abhorrent so she’s Jinni.
Age: 5
Colour: Green
Feel of voice:
Feel of mind? – Jinni is wilderness, she is night shinning eyes, the chill of midnight at the peak of winter and crushed pine needles underfoot. The p***k of hairs at the bases of one’s neck.
Appearance: Jinni is a pretty shade of green. She is mostly a pale green with a near yellow streak curving from her middle back to her tail base. Her belly and legs are darker and she has a minty banding over her for legs. Her coloration is the only thing pretty about her. She is a wiry wher, spindly limbs and long tail. She is a shade short of 13 hands tall and is a mutt of sort, her sir having a quarter Teglar blood line.
Personality: Jinni is a wher built to race. Her body type and colors lends to tight turns, her rider is light, and she has a sharp mind making snap decisions on the track. She is posed and confident and her handler is of the pretty sort. They seem to be a dream team and been racing for a full turn and a half now.
In truth, Jinni is actually a patient and wary creature. Her confident and behavior on the track is turns of careful coaxing and gentling by her rider. As a hatchling, she was a quiet and large eyed hatching, prone to hiding and questioningly poking objects with her nose and claws and skittering back if it moved unexpectedly.
She is also a rather vain creature, absorbing praise, attention, and pleading for bathes and grooming and head scratches. Something her handler used to his advantage, coaxing her from her hiding place with promises of rubdowns and eased her into experiencing new things, making sure to give her plenty of praise. Jinni grew out of her skittishness as a weryling though new things are approached with caution. She is not one to rush head first into a situation.
Competitive, other whers are viewed with wary suspicion as competition: for her handler’s attention, the best food, her favorite toys. Mmh, shoulder bones and hooves. Jinni warms up slowly to other whers, depending on their personalities. Aggressive whers get the cold shoulder and skittish ones have her giving warning snaps.
Focused, Jinni craves praise and attention and with little pushing she’ll ignore the other whers on the track and the crowd and focus on the dirt under her claws and the feel of her rider on her back and destroying her competition.
Pros: Patient, focused, careful
Cons: Vain, suspicious, competitive, sharing? What is this share thing you speak of?
