Lafami Odureg

Name: Lafami Odureg

Age: 16

Race: Gerudo/Kokiri

Sex: Female

Hair: Auburn reddish-brown color, that turns forest green at the very tips. It is naturally wavy but does not get knotted often. It reaches down to the bottom of her shoulder-blades, and is always tied in a very tight braid low on her head. There is no part separating the hair on top of her head, so it almost looks like she’s wearing a shiny cap.

Eyes: A firey amber color, with a small tinge of green surrounding the pupil.

Weight: 78 lbs

Height: Three feet and eight inches

Weapon: Two very short scimitars, which almost the size of daggers. She also has a hollow reed with a case of sleeping darts, two knives stuffed into her boots, and her belt can detach to become her favorite weapon: the whip.
Armor: Wears a green leather tunic and shorts, and brown leather boots for armor. Other things she wears is just regular clothing.

Strengths: Her small stature and lithe build gives her a great amount of speed and dexterity, and also makes her somewhat hard to hit. Her never-ending optimism and determination can aid in getting through tough situations. Also, because she is light-weight and very small, Lafami has incredible skill in stealth. While short, she is a very fast runner. She can surprise people by using her cat familiar in battle.

Weakness: Also due to her "little girl" stature, Lafami is generally weaker than other characters, and does not have that great a range with her short arms. Living in the desert, she never learned how to swim, and cold climates cause her to become incredibly lethargic. Her hyperactive, childlike nature can cause her to get into trouble, and she has a very severe peanut allergy, to the point where smelling a peanut-related product will cause sinus problems. Eating a peanut product would kill her. While Lafami can be stealthy, she can rarely stay silent for long.

Skills/Magic: Skilled with knives and short-range weapons, including throwing them, and other inventive ways to use such weapons. (ie. Using a knife to pick a lock or scale a cliff) Exceptional skill with whips. She has no magical talent whatsoever. She can quickly scale steep slopes and walls if the material is rough enough for a grip, similar to how one would climb a tree. While she has no magic skillsm she can summon her pet familiar, Reti, whom is explained in the paragraph below.

During her travels, Lafami "acquired" an animal familiar. She is an ocicat (a domestic breed of cat bred to look like its wildcat cousin, the ocelot), and Lafami has taken to calling the little creature Reti. Reti is somewhat magical, for she heeds the commands Lafami issues as if she could understand what Lafami was saying. She’s about 15 lbs, though not fat at all, and is about 16 inches at the shoulder. The cat helps Lafami when she fights, steals, and is a welcome companion on her relatively solitary road.

Appearance: Relatively fair-skinned, though living in the desert for most of her life has darkened her complexion a little bit. Despite being 16, her proportions are like those of a nine year-old, thanks to the Kokiri blood in her, and she is rather flat-chested. She has large eyes, a small, pointed nose, and bold eyebrows that are a brighter color than the rest of her hair. Her teeth are fairly straight and normal, since she hasn’t grown in many permanent teeth. Those that did grow in are her eye-teeth (canines), and so when she smiles, they look like little fangs. She has a medium-length neck that extends down to her child-like body. Her limbs are somewhat bigger than a normal child’s, though they are neither fat nor muscular. Her hands have calluses from being used so much. Ever since seeing her father, she has adopted a similar clothing style to the tunics the Kokiri wear. She wears an off-white cotton t-shirt and poofy pants, and over that, she wears a tattered green tunic, which is sleeveless, and looks like it was torn off right above her belly button. The torn off material has apparently been used to create her shorts, which end mid-thigh. Her boots are made of a thick leather, and are extremely worn and made for travelling. She wears her black whip around her waist like a belt, and the sheath with her scimitars rests on either side. She carries a tattered stolen pack that she keeps her essentials in, and any trinkets that she ended up stealing.

Personality: If you can imagine an excitable little Kokiri inside of a Gerudo, this would fit the majority of Lafami’s personality. She’s loud, curious, and very often a troublemaker. She likes stealing things, especially gems and other trinkets that she considers pretty. She is extremely optimistic, and coupled with a die-hard determination, Lafami seems to be able to get into anything, or anywhere. She’s a fighter at heart, whether physically or verbally, and is rarely intimidated. Despite her overall childishness, Lafami can also be quite mature at times, for while she still looks like a child, she is in fact growing up. She is smart and intelligent, and while she has morals, she sticks to the rule of "It’s yours if you don’t get caught". Lafami enjoys new experiences, and if those experiences turn out dangerous, perhaps even lethal, Lafami only knows that it will help her learn about the world. She is very courageous, somewhat obnoxious, and so curious that a cat would be shocked to see that she’s still alive. She’s almost always out for a thrill or a chase, although she does have her down moments. At times she gets homesick, especially when someone reminds her of her mother, and she can also get despondent at how negatively the world generally treats her, and for her lack of a sparring partner. She views friends more like partners, often asking for a battle to help her keep her skills developed, though those she particularly cares about often get special privileges, such as seeing her mature, intellectual side, and not getting things stolen from them. Speaking of stealing, Lafami is and can be rather selfish, more inclined to help herself than to help someone in need. Whenever she does a favor, she expects to be repaid in an equivalent manner, whether in the form of money or another favor. If she doesn’t get what she wants, she tends to get rather annoyed, and ends up stealing her payment. She gets especially cross when others underestimate her, though she does understand that there will be others better than her. She loves the color blue, and more often than not steals anything pretty that is blue, no matter if it is of little monetary value. She hates it when she is bested. She has an incredible amount of self-esteem, and it is very hard for her to doubt or feel ashamed of herself.

Biography: When Lafami’s parents eloped, she was born from the event nine months later, when her mother had returned to the desert. The two parents had separated, realizing that they couldn’t live with each other, but kept in touch at least once a year. Lafami lived her childhood with her mother in the Gerudo Desert, and was taught the ways of the female society, as was the custom. Her bright mind and abnormally eager disposition led Lafami to be an excellent student, despite reprimands that came often from her more mischievous side. All in all her childhood was much like any other normal child’s. She was taught how to be a thief and how to engage in combat with knives, and how the three Goddesses, Din, Nayru, and Farore created the world. She had some friends when she was younger, and often their group would be the source of mischievous misdeeds. When the tips of her hair began to turn green around the age of puberty, Lafami often questioned about her father, and why she was growing up slower than her peers. Others around her began having the same questions, often trailing Lafami’s mother in order to find out who was the father. Lafami’s mother kept silent as stone about it however, and soon the questions about Lafami’s heritage trickled to a halt, except from Lafami herself. As she continued to grow older, Lafami was often picked on for being "the eternal Gerudo child" often not only by physical appearances but in personality. Even her good old friends began to grow distant from her. Instead of destroying the way Lafami felt about herself, these names and actions against her only fueled her desire to find out who her father was. Using her prowess in her training to a maximum, Lafami, when she was 13, eventually caught her mother fleeing the Gerudo Fortress and moving towards the forest. She followed her mother to the great wood, and eventually saw her mother come into contact with a male Kokiri. From the way they talked and held each other, Lafami knew that this was her father. Of course from her excitement, Lafami was found out, and sent back to the desert forcibly by her mother. She was told it was extremely risky for her to have done such a thing, but because of Lafami’s persistence and stubbornness, her mother eventually conceded to take her along future journeys. Lafami had never been more proud, and now had grown an insatiable appetite for the world outside of the desert, and the people in that world. She eventually felt her old life had grown stale, despite the raids they sometimes acted out, and fled the desert when she was just about 16 with a pack of rightfully stolen supplies. She misses her mother, but feels that exploring the whole wide world suits her more than anything. Travelers along her path are often subject to her obnoxious, curious personality and thievery (particularly the person she stole Reti from while on her travels), though those who get to know her more than a petty traveling thief will find that she is good company. Lafami would not kill unless she is forced to, and does not think of dying herself. She dreams of travelling the entire world, learning things and stealing unique trinkets, and maybe finding some friends she can spar with.

This character seems pretty good. The only thing I would recommend is adding her ability to summon Reti to the Skill/Magic section. People would probably be apt to overlook the familiar if she's at the end of the biography.

*Approvedeth*

Okay, I made it so Reti's included in the Skill/Magic section.

I also added in her history that she had stolen Reti.
