Talliska

Talliska Wildclaw is a low-mid level ranger residing mostly in Theren, with trips now and then to Riverhaven, Zoluren and the islands.

She was raised among Prydaen for much of her early life, and thus has a rather awkward way of speaking Common, though she understands the language very well. Habit, along with several years of hermitage in the forests of Therengia, have kept her from learning to speak it more smoothly. She's become somewhat shy about this particular quirk, so speaks very little these days.

She is engaged to Sir Saisen Diamiiele, an Elothean Paladin on a self-imposed exile from his homeland of Ilithi. She has often felt torn between her love for Saisen and her desire to remain true to the heritage of her people, but has gradually settled into life among the myriad people beyond the hub she was born in. Open-minded for a Prydaen, she exhibits none of the prejudice against races besides her own.

It still pains Talliska that she will never be able to biologically reproduce with her betrothed. But she is deeply devoted to her Knight, as he is devoted to his Huntress.

Description

You are Gigavi Vayato Talliska, Journeywoman Ranger, a Prydaen.
You have pointed ears and cat-slitted gold eyes. Your black mane is long and curly, and is worn in a careless, windblown arrangement. You have tawny fur with a white belly and black spots and a slender tail.
You are in good shape.

You are wearing a fang-tipped flint torque, a platinum jadeite gwethdesuan, a platinum kyanite gwethdesuan, a black firecat skin backpack with knotted gut drawstrings, a gold short bow ear-stud, a gold arrow head ear-stud, a tooled leather arm quiver, a beaded suede belt purse, an olive camouflage sack, a black leather sheath, a small bronze openwork tail scabbard inset with black onyx, an engagement tailband shaped like a blooming rose, a pair of feet wraps, a closely fitted hip-length green suede vest belted at the waistband, some snug tan suede leggings laced along the outer thigh, a twisted cambrinth armband, an anklet made of silver bells and cockle shells, a mistwood short bow, some thick leather hunters studded with iron spikes and a dark stained target shield.

(Gigavi Vayato = forest warrior. Talliska's fur patterns most resemble that of a jaguar.)

Skills (OOC section)

Highest: Perception (her first skill to hit 100!)
2nd highest: Evasion (a must for the hunting ranger!)
3rd highest: Leather Armor (her primary armor)
4th highest: Medium Edged (her primary weapon)
5th highest: Hiding (rawr, prowly Prydaen)

Besides ME, Talliska also trains brawling and, occasionally, short bow.

She trains both shield and parry, as well, and has kept their ranks even so far. Still, they hang almost 20 ranks behind evasion. Stop moving so fast, evasion! :P

Survival skills she concentrates on (from highest to lowest): Perception, Evasion, Hiding, Foraging, Stalking, Skinning, Climbing, Scouting, Swimming, Disarm Traps, Lockpicking, First Aid
