• Gear & Possessions: A pair of hunting knives, what would be considered a shortbow to humans, and a traveling pack.
• Skills & Abilities: Can shoot an arrow pretty accurately, good at hand-to-hand combat, and wields a silver tongue when her blades fail. She has the attributes of a cat; flexibility, vision, and balance. The off put of this is that she isn't that strong. She travels light because she has to.
• Personality: Serious and withdrawn when she's confronted, but if she gets the chance, she will cause mischief and have a good giggle at it. Once you have her as a friend, however, she's your friend for life unless you betray her trust.
[hider=History] Deep in the Bellion Forest, where most traders dare not travel, is a small village. It was a calm and quiet place, a humble place compared to the bustling trade centers and human towns. Here there were a people that wished to be left in peace. To live day by day in harmony with a land they almost hurt irreversibly. Stories are told of this village by the few travelers that brave the dangers of the forest to get to it. It is a village made of the trees, but not invading upon them. Taught by the neighboring elves, they have a mutual agreement with the forest. The trees provide them shelter and protection, and the people give the trees offerings of their special water.

It is the village of the feline Hakedians. Or more commonly known as nekos by humans.

In a home of this village, a young Hakedian learns how to use a bow from her father, an elder and keeper of lore. She pulled back on the string, but her finger slipped, causing the bow to fly out of her untrained grip to smack her on the forehead. Giggling, with her father chuckling behind her, she picked it back up and tried again...

"Father, I want to see what's beyond the forest! To see other places!" The young woman protested. Her father waved a hand at her and replied with a quiet "You are too young to understand why I don't want you to leave." The girl huffed and stormed out of the hut...

As she was packing her pack, her mother walked into her room. She didn't say anything...it was the day after the village elder was laid to rest under the Ancient Oak. The young woman tied her pack closed tight, threw it over her shoulder, and breezed by her mother and out the door...

The young neko bartered her way onto a trader's cart, heading to Vekia City. It was now that Rendyl learned what her father wanted her to realize all along...[/hider]
