[NAME]Ratha
[ORIGIN]Irisia
[AGE]Twenty-Two
[APPEARANCE]At first glance the young woman seems to have a slender build, muscles supple and faintly defined, gentle curves falling into all the right places, her skin was relatively unblemished and smooth as if she never worked hard in a day of her life. The only sign of wear would be the strange callouses on her palms rough and textured unlike the rest of the Rangers, a sign that she wielded a different weapon than the telltale signs of wielding a bow.
She stands around five foot six inches allowing for long blonde hair to flow gently down her shoulders and down past the small of her back to be tied loosely with a green band keeping it from becoming tangled and caught on the rest of her; her face narrowed at the chin, sharp cheekbones contrast to the delicate nature of her cream colored skin. Bright emerald eyes peer out from under the soft feathered bangs often wistless and staring off to far places away from the fields and forest of Irisia.
[PERSONALITY]Armed sharp tongue and a mischievous grin, Ratha was never one lacking friends often spending her outings with the other Rangers playing small tricks and pranks on foreign travelers making sure they would never get too comfortable in Irisia; that they would never think of this place as nothing more than a nice place to visit but that it wasn’t for staying in. Her desire to play pranks is a manifest of her need to constantly do something that shaped to make quick decisions and she’s often the first to venture off and explore the unknown. She carries a streak of pride in her abilities and has a tendency to look down on others that ask for help, even went far enough to ignore the plea for help from the starving villagers and continued on with her duties unphased by walking through the streets the dying laying around her. Her pride seems to have taken a hit with the Rebirth and she now finds herself riddled with self hate whenever she isn’t able to accomplish something by herself.
[SKILLS & TALENTS]Plant Knowledge
A Ranger from a farming country, she was brought up learning the different plants which she could eat, which could be used as poison or in the right combination can be used as a poultice for a field dressing. She used to keep a small book of various plant life but lost it, with the new environment she has taken a liking to stopping and studying the new fauna.
Pole arm Combat
Capable of switching between close range to long range combat, the pole arm allows for her to add more varieties to her attacks and maneuvers. While she wasn’t able to be as effective as using the standard Ranger’s Bow, it kept her from being defenseless when a the target was able to reach close enough that the bow lost effectiveness. Quick and easy motions that worked well to create distance between her and any attacker.
Tracking & Hunting
Drilled into her during her training to become a Ranger, Ratha excelled at tracking her teachers but seemed less enthused to commit to the hunting portion of the classes. She has an easy time reading paths from partial footprints, broken twigs, disturbed foliage; they were taught to both track animals and to follow outsiders that strayed too far into area’s that weren’t allowed in, the hunting was meant to keep the larder’s of the Royal families full and stocked with variety. If needed they would send out a Ranger to find something new and exotic.
[INVENTORY]-Celeste’s Guardian-
Ratha’s trident, a long pole arm, dark green handle with gold design covering it, worn parts of the handle revealed the dark yew it was made of. A supple wood giving it flexibility and a soft firmness allowing it to absorb impact and bend to redirect attacks; two prongs glimmer at the top aimed downwards matching up to the three prongs spearing off from the top, an elegant weapon.
A custom make though the maker and the reason why she choose this weapon has been long lost to her.
-Ranger’s Outfit-Long slashes cut through the back of the outfit, the tattered green cloth was lined with gold filigree. Several different pieces of leather armor were belted and tied into place protecting the more vital areas of the body while leaving enough freedom that movements are completely unrestricted. The right gauntlet and the left leg guard had been long lost, a careless mistake from her rookie days, though she no longer remembers how.
-Leather Pouch-Relatively empty, small scraps of berries and herbs, a handful of dried meat. The basic fare Ranger’s carried with them out in the field, no trace of money. The only thing that tugged at her was a small silver trinket, a flower hairpin with small jewels hanging from the tips of the metal flower. She keeps it close and tucked in a small hidden pocket of the small pouch.
[GIFT OF REBIRTH]Falcon’s Eyes- Because of the fickle nature of the gift, Ratha’s eyes at times become unfocused, as if looking at something far off. It helps her focus on a target, whether it be one she was intending to see or something that she needs to view. More often than not it happens at the most ill conceived times often taking her by surprise. While unable to use it to focus on target’s or objects far away she can use it to hyper focus and pinpoint on the subtleties around her.
