[quote]"[i]Rre, shi?[/i]" The tabaxi's ears moved in feigned confusion as she gestured to herself, and her almost luminous green eyes blinked in near perfect mimicry of uncertainty.

"[i]Sha Kiris kel Trell, ressa.[/i]" The sounds rolled from her like the purring of a cat, and as the hairless creature -- the human, Kiris reminded herself -- furrowed its brows in perplexity she had to hold back a chuff. This fellow had been sat just down the bar discussing his 'curiosity' as though she couldn't hear him, but now that he was stymied by an unexpected language barrier he could only sputter a few more attempts before he walked away.

She'd travelled overland and port to port across the world, mostly eastward, for five years and in that time Kiris had met plenty of curious people. The further she got from home the more likely it was she stood out until, here at last, she sat in another new tavern and tried to decide what to drink. It was certainly warmer here than it would be at home, but then again life in the Black Barrens was framed by snow and ice, and often punctuated by untimely death. That wasn't why she'd left, though, and her tail flicked in minor annoyance as she pushed the thought away. She didn't want to think about her family right now, or their expectations. With luck they'd given up on those dreams once she'd run away.

Kiris wore some of her souvenirs on her person in the form of a fine bow (1), a fitted shirt of padded scale (2), and a broad bracelet of lapis lazuli and silver (3) -- but otherwise she wore a sturdy belt in addition to the travel-worn satchel, quiver, and paired spears. The fur atop her head grew slightly longer and shaggier than over the rest of her body, and in some of it she'd braided bits of shaped gems or bones.

Kiris Trell stood at just under 5 feet, 4 inches and weighed close to 80 pounds. Her slim frame was well built for climbing and sneaking, and the colour of her grey-brown fur lent itself well to natural camouflage. In strong sunlight faint rosettes of darker grey can be seen along the fur of her arms, legs, and back. Her tail, itself close to 5 feet in length, was banded in rings of steadily darkening black until the rounded tip. Some would suggest that Kiris looked something akin to a cougar, or mountain lion, though the shape of her head and thickness of her fur suggested more than passing resemblance to snow leopards as well.

As of late she has been seen in the constant company of a young panther, a nearly black and subtly spotted beast most likely from one of the lush jungles of Ikar, or Taglee. Still an adolescent, the size of the panther's feet suggest that she might grow to rival even the ferocious tigers of Taglee.
