Name: Tova
Age: 22
Species: Faun
Appearance: Standing around 5.1ft, Tova is everything one could expect from a faun. A goat’s legs and hoofs and tail, goat ears, horns, a flat nose, oval pupils; the whole package. Her fur is a light beige that turns brown towards her hoofs, which corresponds with a matching beige/brown ombre colour in her hair. Her hair is short and curly. She also has fur along her spine and along her underarms and elbows. She had several piercings in each ear.
Abilities: Like most fauns, she had a knack for music and her instrument of choice is a pan flute. The humans say a faun’s music can ensnare the mind and make one into a thrall. If there’s a faun who can actually do that, Tova had never heard of them. What fauns can do, however, is slightly influence the mood of those around her with her music - though the recipients have to be consenting for it to not be easily ignored. She can’t make anyone feel or do anything against their will. She can cause pain if she has to defend herself by playing a high-pitched tune infused with magic to cause headaches of varying degrees.
She also has very good balance and agility.
Personality/Info: Tova is a tough soul put in an easily frightened body. She is always fighting her prey instincts, which tell her to run and hide at the slightest threat, while her actual self is loud, outgoing, and confident. This conflict of mind and body has more than once led to her cussing someone out for frightening her, while still hiding behind a tree.
Items: A light tunic for warmer weather, and a coat and scarf if it gets colder. A backpack to keep said clothes and travel rations and equipment. Her pan flute hangs from a cord around her neck
Backstory: Tova was born in a small faun village in a hidden valley, where she lived the first 20 years of her life in relative peace and happiness. The village kept itself separated from the rest of the world, content to mind its own business away from all the dangers that lurked outside the valley. Tova was told all about them from an early age, and among the worst of them were the monstrous humans. Tova was scared when she was young, but as she grew older she assumed the evil deeds of humans were just something parents told their children to keep them in line. How bad could humans actually be?
Bad, it turned out. Very bad.
Giving in to her curiosity, Tova had decided to investigate a nearby human village to see the monsters for herself. On her way there, she met a human around her own age, who had been surprisingly friendly. They’d talked for a while, and then parted ways. Relieved and feeling a bit vindicated that the humans weren’t such monsters after all, Tova returned to her village to tell of her discovery. Maybe now they would realize they didn’t need to live hidden away, and Tova would get more freedom to explore the world.
That night, the humans attacked her village. They had followed her, and she had led them straight to her family. The village was burned to the ground and the few surviving fauns scattered, Tova among them. Since then, Tova has lived alone in the woods, too ashamed to search for fellow survivors or other faun villages.
She hopes that the Manor could be an escape from her guilt and loneliness.
