PLAY-BY: Picrew made here
EXPY SOURCE: Rosethorn (The Circle of Magic, by Tamora Pierce)
FULL APPEARANCE:
Rosethorn wears her auburn hair in a masculinely short cut and parted on the side. She has delicate eyebrows, large brown eyes, and a firm jaw. She’s short, most of her height being in her legs, and has broad shoulders, and is a little on the heavy side. She has pale skin. She prefers to wear simple, rough-hewn garments, typically in greens and browns, and never strays far from earthy colors, many of which end up with grass and dirt stains on the legs and knees. She goes barefoot whenever she can, but especially while tending to plants. More often than not, she has dirt under her fingernails.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
If you had to describe Rosethorn in a word, it would be “gruff”. She has a sharp tongue and her temper is formidable. She is stern, scowling quite often, and claims to dislike noise, fuss, children, and caring for sick people. Despite claiming to dislike all of these things, she is extremely gentle when she needs to be, often caring for wounded animals in particular. Tending to growing things is really her forte, though, and woe betide anyone who disturbs any garden plot or any plant experiment she’s tending to. That intense protectiveness can extend to others who she's come to care about. She can come across as cynical and pessimistic, but she’s often just trying to anticipate any problems that may arise and believes everyone deserves a second chance. She has little patience for political games and brown-nosing.

Rosethorn can be stubborn, proud, and antagonistic. She’s not afraid to hurl insults, and particularly hurtful ones at that, and even if she regrets them later, she will refuse to apologize or take it back. She thinks she knows best, particularly when it comes to all things plants, and thinks her practical education outclasses anyone with a formal education. She will only begrudgingly acknowledge a farmcrafter as her equal if they prove themselves to her over and over again. Rosethorn is mostly bark, but she will defend herself if she has to, and never makes a threat she wouldn’t be willing to follow through on.


HISTORY
FAMILY:
Father - estranged
Several brothers - estranged by proxie
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: Several, although the current ones are all long distance
BIRTHPLACE: A small farmhold near the edges of Fort’s territory
HISTORY:
Rosethorn was born in a small farmhold near the edges of Fort’s territory. Ever since she was little, she had a love for and fascination with all things green and growing. Her early years are also where she learned about how bugs and birds interact with the life cycles of crops, and when she began to tend any wounded birds she came across. At twelve, she enrolled in a farmcrafting hall, but soon found the formal education environment didn’t suit her and dropped out after only a few years.

When she was 25, the wildfires at Fort ravaged many farms. Rosethorn’s family’s was untouched, which made them a tempting target for the holdless (and even a few nearby desperate holders). There were several unsuccessful attacks as people tried to take their farmland for themselves, and Rosethorn knew it was only a matter of time before she or her family were seriously hurt, and they needed reinforcements. That was when she decided to purchase a wher egg, hoping the knowledge that there was a wher on the property would be enough to give some would-be attackers pause. It caused a huge fight with her father, who thought it was a waste of money when it would be months until the creature was large enough to be usable as a guard, and by then the food shortage would be dealt with, and now they had another very expensive mouth to feed. Rosethorn thought he was being a fool to think this would be the only time they’d need what protection having a wher could give them. Her father eventually made all the money back anyway, selling any excess crops off to the highest bidder, and that quieted him for a while.

A few turns later, during the Fort Hold rebellion, her father ordered her to keep the wher hidden, in case the anti-wher sentiments brought aggressors to the farm. Rosethorn pointed out it was so out of the way that that was ridiculous. Rosethorn’s relationship with her father continued to fray and strain as the turns went by until Rosethorn decided living at home wasn’t healthy for either of them and left with a trader caravan, who welcomed the protection Thornsk offered. She made her way slowly south with them, learning more about the various plants from the various holds they stopped at. Rosethorn decided Semaca might be a good ending place for her, as there was still so much to learn about everything on the Southern Continent and her practical skills with farming would likely be welcomed.

Updates:
  • 2775 = In the spotty attack, Thornsk defended Rosethorn and Rosesk from a trio of spotties. Her left flank and underside were clawed badly, and her left foreleg was pulled out of its socket in such a way it can never again bear weight
  • Early Spring 2776 = Thornsk ran and was caught by brown Zinsk, and then laid the Heroes clutch

Thornsk
Image


BASICS

NAME: Thornsk
BIRTHDATE Autumn 2767
AGE: 8 as of 2775

CLUTCHING
CLUTCHING: YES
RUNS/FLIGHTS: 1

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 14.25ft
HEIGHT: 5.5ft
COLOR: Garnet
HEX CODE: #3b1c1c
FULL APPEARANCE:
Thornsk's long legs give the illusion that she's a leaner wher than she is when she is standing. Her hide is a simple, brownish red, but for the white stripe down her face as well as white on her feet, the end of her tail, and the edges of her wings. If one were to look closely, they could see some faint scars on her back and claws from where prey has fought back, though not enough to make much difference.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Thornsk is soft-spoken and gentle, with a very sweet and maternal air. She will dote and fuss on anyone, but particularly on the small and the weak. Unlike her handler, she has no bark to speak of. However, her bite is much, much worse.

The moment Thornsk recognizes a threat, she doesn't hesitate. She doesn't believe in warning shots or leaving an enemy wounded. If someone is willing to attack someone Thornsk cares about or has been tasked with protecting, they deserve no mercy, and should not be allowed to try that again. The shift in her demeanor comes with no warning whatsoever. She isn't bloodthirsty, though, only responding violently when she perceives a violent threat. Non-violent conflict she is happy to leave to someone else to deal with as she doesn't see why words would bother anyone that much.

Thornsk's advice to anyone who has been wronged is to immediately go scorched earth. She doesn't understand why anyone would do something that makes them unhappy or why they'd tolerate being around someone who hurt them once in the past. She was the one who ultimately talked Rosethorn into leaving home.

Rosesk
Image

BASICS

NAME: Rosesk
BIRTHDATE Late Spring 2775
AGE: Newborn as of Late Spring 2775

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 13 ft
HEIGHT: 4.75 ft
COLOR: Brown
HEX CODE: #542916
FULL APPEARANCE:
Rosesk is a brown who might at first be overlooked. He is small and lanky, with wings slightly larger than most whers' and legs a little bit longer. If whers gliding ever does become more than a novelty, he is well-built for it and will pick it up quicker than most. His hide is a deep, rich, klah brown, with delicate, cleanly drawn markings on his legs and splashes of a lighter color on his wings and face.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:

Rosesk gives off an air of being easygoing and somewhat flippant. He's witty and quick with a joke, usually at his own expense. He doesn't seem to particularly care about what people think about him personally, so long as everyone around him gets along; he hates conflict, and will usually try to defuse it with self-deprecating humor. Stress to him is just a sort of internal conflict, so he has a tendency to make light of serious situations, regardless of how appropriate it may be in the moment. When he realizes he's actually offended someone he tries to make up for it, typically by trying to bring them food. This usually works better with other whers than it does people, who don't tend to appreciate being brought raw pieces of herdbeast, but he tries.

Rosesk is absolutely fascinated by the idea of flight. If he were able to fly, he'd probably rarely let his feet rest on the ground. As it is, he'll be extraordinarily dedicated to the thought of learning to glide, since that's the closest he'll ever get to flying on his own. His handler will have to be careful when he's a wherlet not to let him climb on things, because he will jump off, just for that momentary feeling of being weightless as he falls.

For some reason, Rosesk speaks like he's a beastherder off in remote parts of Keroon territory. He likes to call people "cowboys" or "darlin'".

Voice: Rosesk has a strong, drawling accent

Why me?: How about a little bit of trouble? Or a lot of trouble. It'll be fiiiiine.
