° Name
Renri (pronounced renn ree)° Species/nationality
Alskyrian human° Gender
Female° Age
22° Craft
Herding/shepherding° Duties
Tending and herding the flock, and whatever species-specific care might come up: while not great at anything in particular, like a jack-of-all-trades she is good at many things related to her craft.° Home
Her final home will always be at her father's homestead, no matter where she travels.° Physical Description °
° Hair
Her dark-brown hair is long and wavy, usually tied back at the nape of her neck or tucked up under a brimmed hat.° Eyes
Renri's wide, liquid-black eyes can sometimes appear eerie to a newcomer, as in their depthless-ness they seem to peer deeply into one's soul.° Physique
She only stands at about 5'5", and appears even smaller thanks to her slender frame. Even though she is not very curvy as women go, she is strong, with well-developed muscles.° Clothing
There is a lot of soft, brown leather in Renri's wardrobe, mainly for comfort when riding. She generally wears a sleeveless shirt tucked into her well-worn riding trousers, under a long-sleeved button-up shirt whose sleeves can be easily rolled-up if needed. She wears half-gloves to protect her palms, and cowboy-style leather boots. She wears a leather belt with several straps and pouches to carry various tools and gadgets that one might need when caught outdoors (knives, needles, ointments, wire-cutters, and the like).° Personality °
° Attitude
Renri has made it a general practice to be friendly and hospitable to everyone, even if she doesn't trust them. She generally keeps to herself because of her craft, and does not volunteer personal information. She'll share a drink or two, have friendly conversation, and otherwise be more than happy to have a good time.° Hobbies
She loves and respects all animals, probably something she inherited from her mother. She enjoys her work: breeding and raising herd beasts (fitharin, skirr, goats, horses), and considers it a hobby. Rock-climbing is something she also loves to do, and if she comes across a particularly challenging rock face, she just might drop everything to have a go at it.° Background Information °
° Father
Renri was apprenticed to her father Jansson, a veteran of herding, until she came of age. Upon retirement, he moved a small number of his original herd to the countryside, away from people, and established a small holding up on a hill overlooking the pastures. Renri has much to learn still, and often comes back home for a visit for advice and insight.° Mother
Deceased from childhood° History
Renri is a young woman who has traveled through nearby islands to make a name for herself as a shepherd and herdsman. After a few years, she decided that any place is as good as home, and so returned to her retired father, a man whose plot of land just was not quite large enough to be called a ranch.
Together, they tended the livestock, moving the herd from pasture to pasture: she, her father, flitter Iyan, the herd dogs, and their two horses. Then something happened that gave Renri an idea; she believes that a small enough dragon would be much more effective, or at least very helpful, to their current herding arrangement. So she has decided to travel the nearest caer to see if she can put that theory in motion. To try to bond to a hatchling, taking that chance and knowing that if her plan fails, if the herds do not adjust to the presence of one of their longtime predators (like they did with the dogs centuries past), she can never return to her previous life.
But as the saying goes, one cannot get ahead in life without taking a chance.
