Holy crap! Is that me?
Name: Jiera Thane
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Job/Specialty: Archer
Race: unknown
Hair: Black
Eyes: Blue-Brown Hazel
Body: Jiera is a little short, about 5’3”, with a strong build. She isn’t stocky, but she’s not skinny either, she’s at one of those just-right builds. She has very muscular limbs.

Home Village: Furnost
Parents: unknown
Siblings: unknown

Character Personality: Jiera is very independent and very territorial. She has a strong belief that she is in charge. She’s kind and understanding to most, but you don’t want to get on her bad side. She tends to be a bit moody as well. She prefers her own company, but doesn’t mind the company of others. Jiera is very sure of herself and also rather intelligent as far as the natural world goes.

Character History: Jiera’s mother died in childbirth. She was raised by an elderly woman who lived in Furnost (the place may or may not be the location of her birth). When Jiera was about four years old soldiers raided the town and the elderly woman told her that she had to take hiding. Jiera fled for the forest and has been living there ever since.
When she started living in the forest she was very frightened of everything. She lived deep in the woods and hid from anything and everything that came her way. As she got used to the environment she started to meet the animals there. She found out that she had a gift for being able to communicate with animals (she didn’t realize it was a form of magic). Jiera used this gift to learn how to survive in the wild, by the time she turned seven she was making her own clothes, living completely off the land, she even figured out how to give herself a tattoo. She started making arrows when she was about thirteen in order to fend off people who might be trying to harm the forest. She started to think about the place as her own land that she ruled. She would force people to make deals with her in order to pass safely through or even by the outskirts of her forest. She became very well-known by travelers, even feared a little bit, because of this.
No one has ever really figured out what she is, although a few people have ventured a guess, some think she’s a kind of nymph or maybe an elf, but she doesn’t have pointed ears. Jiera herself doesn’t know what she is exactly, but she likes to call herself a dryad, probably just because she likes the sound of it.

Weapons: bow and arrow, dirk
Likes: the wild outdoors, animals, her forest, dragon berries (it’s her soft spot), and archery.
Dislikes: trespassers, soldiers, people who try to hurt her forest, and people who ‘ask too many questions,’ especially about her and her past.

Animal Companions: She has a crow named Korvin that is often with her. It’s the one animal that goes with her if she ever leaves her forest. He is usually rather timid around strangers and attacks when he feels that either Jiera or he is being threatened.

Character’s Physical Description (clothes, accessories, etc.): She’s tan from being outside all the time and she usually has unkempt hair with random braids or feathers in it. It’s not uncommon for her to have dirt spots on her clothes, face, arms, legs, wherever. Jiera usually wears a sleeveless tunic and threadbare trousers. She doesn’t believe in wearing shoes. She has a copper nose ring on the right side of her nose, and a tattoo of a tree on her right leg, starting right next to her anklebone and going up the side of her calf to end just a little below the inside of her knee. All of the branches/leaves go toward the front of her leg. She usually carries a satchel woven from lake grass and a leather water skin.

Dreams for Future: Jiera hopes that someday the forest won’t need to be taken care of anymore because there will be no one trying to hurt it. She hopes that someday she’ll be able to start a family as well, but both ideas are a long way off in her mind. For now she’s just going to keep on doing what she feels she was called to do, keep safe her little forest.
Important things character has forgotten: Jiera doesn’t know what race she is, and she doesn’t know who either of her parents were. She also doesn’t remember the identity of the elderly woman who raised her as a child. She thinks that these are probably all keys to figuring out what she is, but she has put that all on hold, deeming it impossible to figure out stuff like that. She’s decided that taking care of things in the present is much more important than finding out more about her past and her parents.

((I know she doesn't have much of a history, (especially compared to my other characters) but she hasn't lived very long and there aren't too many important events in her short history, it's mostly just daily life for her. Perhaps I'll add more as she develops in the game.))
