APPEARENCE
Waking-Lion is on the shorter side as men go, being about 5'5", but walks upright with good posture. He is lean and muscular, with various, though not especially prominent, scars from the battlefield. Waking-Lion is a proud warrior and it shows in his body language, and on his face when he isn't wearing the mask his father left behind. His eyes are large, dark, set under a heavy brow, and full of optimism. He smiles often, a broad and crooked thing.
Waking-Lion wears the mask his father left behind whenever he leaves camp, believing it to make him a better warrior akin to those of his father's lineage. The mask is carved of sweet smelling wood and painted lacquers of white, greens, and gilt; the golden accents beginning to fade with wear. Along the curve of the chin, only visible on close inspection, are inscriptions in an unknown language.
PERSONALITY
Waking-Lion is stubborn, single-minded, and careless with his own safety. He has a strong sense of morality, finding anything running contrary to that to be deeply upsetting, infuriating even.
Do not kill except to protect.
Work to protect and grow the community.
Sacrifice of one's self, not of others.
Waking-Lion is patient, hard-working, optimistic, and compassionate. He firmly believes that there is a bright future ahead, so long as everyone cooperates to achieve it. He may be somewhat naieve at times, as he tends to assume everyone also wants to work towards this bright future and will act in the interest of community. In an instance where proven wrong in this regard, he would be inclined to lose his temper. He is quick to help someone else, but will rarely seek help for himself. His status as a warrior is everything to him, protecting his camp, family, and friends is what pushes him forward.

"There is a distance about him so I do not know him very well, but he is a hard worker and has a sense of humor; for that, I like him well enough. Despite his hard work for the village, he seems to rather be left to himself. While I do not understand this, I suppose he is allowed his solitude if he wishes."
