[hider=Daria]Name: Daria daughter of Mikhai and Polina, Pet/Bodyguard (depending on who you ask) of Eliyen

[*] Pound for pound, leopards are the strongest big cat.  Daria is no different.  Despite standing only at five foot six, she has explosive strength of someone much larger.  Although not wielding supernatural strength, she can run, jump, punch, and lift like the best of Olympians.  While not as short of endurance as her larger cousins and able to walk long distances, going at her max for over a minute exhausts her and she would be on the ground wheezing after three.  Additionally, she has a rather long recovery time compared to normal humans, so even if both parties exhausted themselves it is unlikely .  An intelligent opponent will exploit this by forcing Daria to exhaust herself before reaching them.
[*] Among big cats, leopards are the best climbers bar none.  [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rtf0tbopCxQ]They even haul prey animals up to three times as heavy as they are into trees with little effort.[/url]  Daria can grab a fully grown man in one hand and use her legs and her other hand to climb like she's in Assassin's creed - and even be somewhat quiet when doing so.
[*] While leopards aren't the [i]least[/i] social animal, they certainly aren't pack animals like Lions.  Daria typically chooses a few, close friends, but begins to become confused as that social web grows and starts to become defensive.  She wouldn't really ever be able to understand ideological issues and tends to just go along with what her friends say.  If Daria and her ancestors had grown up in complete isolation, it is unlikely they would be able to sustain civilization or build cities.

Appearance (Pictures and/or descriptions are acceptable.): Standing at five foot six, Daria's figure is lean, fit, and slightly muscular.  With white hair and slightly tanned skin, the only things normally revealing her beastfolk origin are her two leopard ears distinguishable by the black spots on them, her golden feline eyes with slit pupils, and a tail waving behind her.  It's not unusual to find her in simple, if not dirty dress, faring more simple and tough materials like leather over cloth, although she does wear a decorative collar with house Patris' coat of arms upon it.  In battle she will normally wear half-plate, and if she stays in a fight for a while her features being to look more ... beastly.

Bio [may fill in later]: Daria was born into a small northern tribe, in the outskirts of the Ice Realm where the fields are snow for most of the year.  With her parents, she stalked, ambushed, and hunted her prey.  They would contact civilization mostly to trade, offer up their own services as mercenaries, and to report issues noticed on the outskirts.  She celebrated, trained, and practiced with her tribe, and expected them to take care of her when her parents left for their adventuring missions.  The pair of them dealt with an ice ghost along with a few other adventurers, and apparently they rescued a fairly high profile diplomat by the name of Faeylen Patris.  He was so impressed that he requested they send someone to guard his daughter soon after she declared her (perhaps naive) desire to adventure.  

With a daughter around the same age, Daria's parents recommended her and soon had sold her to the diplomat for a rather substantial sum of money and a guarantee of good treatment.  Daria was surprised by the news, but really was more annoyed at being pulled away from the tribe than an ideological discomfort with the idea of technically being a slave - it wasn't uncommon for parents to get rid of their younger children among the tribe in a similar manner when it had grown a bit too large, and ultimately the funds would help the tribe continue in the future.

Daria met up with Eliyen about half a year before leaving to allow the pair to adjust to eachother, and then the two of them headed towards the academy.  Daria finds herself respecting Eliyen as the leader, even if she is concerned abouthe girl's lack of experience.

Personality: Proud, if not extremely so.  She likes to be well dressed in her own barbarian fashion, as if always prepared to fight those duels that make her (literally) chirp with excitement - though she has recently picked up an interest in more fine sorts of dress and makeup after spending time with her mistress.  She isn't a social engineer and she knows it - she trusts the friends she has to not misdirect her, although she probably wouldn't really understand if she was.  When she's uncomfortable or upset, she tends to climb up to high places and treat them like her own private security blanket.  That security blanket is employed virtually every time Eliyen finds another beastfolk thats just a [i]bit[/i] more furry than she is and steals all the attention from herself - Daria would never admit that it bothered her, though, if she's even aware why.[/hider]
