Name: Ellixia
Age: 43
Gender: female
Race: shape shifter, takes form of whitetail doe
Hails From: Feriay, in the Zyabeth Forest
Ranking: none
Weapons: She keeps a dagger on her person, however she'd really rather avoid a fight.
Abilities: She is a skilled runner and dancer, knows some healing arts.
Companions: An animal-shifter that's most commonly a brown hawk, she calls him Olly.
Occupation: scout, weaver
Appearance: Here. Her body is that of a young woman around 20-25 years old. She stands at 5'7, and her toned body is like a dancers. Her walk is cautious and graceful, it as if every step she takes is thoughtful and choreographed. Looking at her, you would think that she has a "long" body, as she is staring to take the lean proportions of her shape-shifting form. Though, as mothering affects the women in her family, as she matures she may have more supple features, as in the breasts, hips and thighs. Her skin is olive with reddish undertones, and her hair is long and black. She usually pins it up on her head or plaits it into one long, thick braid. Her eyes are dark pools, and it's hard to distinguish the dark brown form the pupil anymore. When she is older, her entire eye may turn black like her grandfathers, and not just the iris (Like that of the deer). Her favorite thing to wear is deer-hide or even wolf-hide. While she hates the thought of killing her brother, she is slightly gladdened by the fact that she and her family is able to use the entire body of slain creatures.
Her doe form is much like herself- long, lean and graceful. Because she is so young for her species (only approaching the first quarter of her life) she is average doe size, nothing too big as to be seen as a "trophy" by hunters. Ellixias has still lost the spots of her true youth, and has exchanged the soft baby fur for a rougher, more durable hide. Her hide is a grayish brown, and white outlines her nose a bit, and her tail becomes a bright white flag when she runs.
Personality: Ellixias is a gentle creature, to be sure, and she would hate to even hurt a fly. She is peaceful, even demure, and hesitates to argue unless it is on the behalf of another creature. She is brave, and selfless, and willing to defend someone or something in danger, especially young ones. It is in the nature of the other females in her family to adopt orphaned and lost children, and that mothering streak has not passed by Ellixias.
Ellixias is easily hurt, but she also easily forgives. It is in her nature to be soft spoken and sweet. She is a caregiver and a peacemaker, and so far has enjoyed a quiet life. She is an explorer at heart, and her some what extensive knowledge of the forest has given her a decent occupation as a scout for those traveling in the area. And when she's not scouting, her favorite escape is to weave, it gives her a creative outlet to her dreamer side.
History: Ellixias was born a single fawn to Mariana and Kristus of the Illomir clan of shape-shifters. While most of the original clan had long given up the nomadic life in the forest, the family of deer-shifters lived within the safe confines of Feriay in the forest of their natural home. Ellixias had older twin brothers, as twinning is somewhat common for deer, however, they were born nearly twenty years before her. She was a somewhat close to them, but she played with her cousins born the same spring as her more.
She grew up worshiping Lydeeai, Nyla, Medicce and Nyphe most and before the other gods and goddesses. She was taught some basic healing arts, though she is by no means a medicine woman. Her childhood was relatively peaceful, so far her clan has been able to avoid most conflict, fleeing deep in to the forest if necessary. Most of all, her family avoids traveling out of their territory now. While Ellixia has obeyed her family's expectations, she's been pushing her bounds, exploring farther and farther out.
When she was around the age of 35 she realized she could make some money off of people who wished to travel within the forest. She knew much of it, so she offered her services as a scout, though she never went past a certain diameter around her village. Now she is wondering if traveling is really for her...
