Characters

Noriana (Nori) Takikas

Family: Grambee Takikas (paternal grandmother), little brother Ky (age 7)

Age: 16

Outfit: Smooth light purple insulating suit with white rabbit fluff at neck, wrists, ankles, and waist. Thick brown boots. Sometimes a slouchy hat or one with earflaps if wind is especially fierce.

Hair: Black, wavy, a little past shoulders

Eyes: Silver/blue

Height: 5’5, average

Personality: She’s mentally quick, and always ready with something to say. She’s stern; but has a good sense of humor. The worst thing you could do to offend her would be to hurt her brother. Ky is deaf, and therefore can’t speak, and Nori loves him with all her heart. Ever since her parents died she clung to her brother. She also loves her Grambee, Lapee Takikas, who is the oldest person in the Retmoot tribe — and probably all of the Jaakii. Nori doesn’t like hurting people, but then again, who really would unless you were a ruthless criminal? But she is very soft and kind, and only flares up under serious insolence.

Faults: sometimes speaks without thinking, and if once greatly offended may find it hard to forgive, she can have a bad temper at times

Best traits: she wants to take the right path, is loyal to those she loves, and — need I say it again? — is always available with something to say whether you need it or not.

Pet/s: She has a three-legged rabbit she keeps safe from predators — including her muck-hawk, Glamgree, a dark winged bird with a harsh voice and sharp eyes. There are, of course, a few arkainas and plenty of shagg-ox in her tribe.

Weapon/s: traditional spears, knives, bows and arrows, and also blaster guns. She prefers blasters, though she only uses them on the range; and a short knife as well — mostly for carving small wooden animals for Ky.

Hobbies: carving, playing the humkai (a horn), dancing the traditional dances, singing, school, and climbing the mountains by herself to feel the cool breezes and to gaze upon the plains and feel free.

Ronnie-Kix (Kix, mostly) Apalago Derrainger

Family: Lanrick Derrainger, father; Eisly Norris Derrainger, mother

Age: 18 and ⅓

Outfit: Cowboy style hat (for keeping sun out of his eyes), light (as in weight) checkered flannel shirt, black leather vest (for occasions, doesn’t really wear it a lot), bandanna (for practical purposes), Levi’s, cowboy style boots with spurs

Hair: short, brown

Eyes: light brown

Height: 6’3 and isn’t yet sure if he’s done growing (his mother hopes he is)

Personality: is quiet, but that makes him a good listener. He is keen, and although a bit spindly, he’s tough. He doesn’t like large crowds, especially ones full of strange people. He prefers the Arzoa plains and the small group of rough ranch-hands his father hires for year-round assistance. But even then, he isn’t really close with them. He is athletic, obviously (you don’t live in Arzoa to laze around all day sipping punch and listening to live jazz). He’s a loner, but knows and loves his land like a true patriot. He is close to his mother, but his father seems distant.

Faults: Slow to befriend people, likes to do things by himself and doesn’t always want assistance

Best traits: will fight hard when the need arises, doesn’t give up easily, and once you prove yourself to him, he will kindly call you “friend”

Pet/s: arkaina named Whizz-Pop whom he trained from a wiry colt

Weapon/s: blaster, but he rarely uses it. Mostly a long knife, and later, his father’s blue-bladed lightsaber (bc blue is beautiful)
