My characters (NPCs will be introduced as they appear)
Name: Merisa (Risa)
Age: 20ish
Gender: Female
Species: Plains Elf
Height: 5'-9"
Eyes: Amethyst
Appearance: She holds her hair in a braid that hangs to her knees. She has a black, with red stripes, tail that emerges from her spine, and black with red tipped ears on top of her head. She has no other inhuman features, save for slightly pointier canines. Nothing about her (aside from those three features) is tigerish. Her hair is black with three red streaks from root to tip. She tends to wear jeans, a black top, and boots that protect her ankles.
Attitude: Perpetually bouncy. Insanely optimistic. Always trying to get people to smile, even if it's at the cost of her own pride.
Background: She grew up a normal life, until her early twenties. When she reached the age Kenji was three years prior, her ears turned furry and moved to the top of her head, and a tail grew to match her hair color, which had always been a little on the odd side. Her parents were baffled, to say the least, when she told them she wanted to go looking for a stone that she heard about. A 'Full Shift Stone', that would allow her to shift when she wanted, instead of leaving her between forms.
Other Notes: She's wandering around, looking for a rare stone that should awaken her kitty side. Unfortunately, she has to find it the hard way. Looking everywhere. She's ok with a sword, not great, but simply ok. Her weapon of choice is...running. It's not that she's a coward, but she'd rather not fight.
She thinks in dark red.
Species Note: Plains Elves - Animal tamers, farmers, critter speakers. Immortal, they rarely have children more than once or twice every hundred years. Merisa is one of those that was born recently. There's only one other young elf, three years her senior.

Name: Kenji (Ken)
Age: 20ish (3 years older than Merisa)
Gender: Male
Species: Plains Elf
Height: 6'-0"
Eyes: Purple
Appearance: Black hair with three blue streaks from root to tip. He keeps his hair in a shoulder length ponytail. He has black with blue tipped wolf ears that sit on the top of his head, and a long black with blue highlights wolf tail that emerges from his spine. Aside from pointed canines, he has no other animalistic features.
Attitude: A little darker than Merisa's, but whenever she tries to get someone to smile, he's always the first one to do so. He's felt an attraction to her since childhood, not because they are similar ages either.
Background: Kenji grew up much like Merisa, in the village of Plains Elves. He grew up being Merisa's best friend, but left the village a few years before Merisa did for some reason he never spoke to her about. He's been living on the edges of a nearby forest, watching over her while hiding a secret he thought he was alone in.
Other Notes: He's had an attraction to Merisa ever since they were kids. It wasn't until he was a teenager that he realized what the attraction was. Somehow, along the line to where they are now, their destinies, their fates, became entwined. Without Merisa, he will perish. Without Kenji, Merisa will fail to survive.
He thinks in indigo.
He learned how to fight to survive in the wild, even though he's good at talking with critters (like his race is), some of them insist on a fight. He's gotten good enough that he doesn't
have to run, even though he still prefers to.

Name: Korai
Age: Hatchling
Gender: Male
Species: Forest Dragon
Appearance: Click Me
Eyes: Gold
Skin Color: Green & Brown (See Appearance)
Wings: Yes
Fire: No
Speech: Only Mentally
Legs: 4
Spine Spikes: No
Back Armor: Yes
Can Shift: No
Back Story: Korai doesn't remember where he came from, who his parents are, or when he hatched. He just suddenly found himself flying toward Kenji at high speeds. He doesn't know what cared him or why, but he knows he doesn't want to leave the wolf/elf's side. Somehow, he knows his key to survival is through Kenji.
He thinks and talks in green.

Name: Kiyoshi (Yoshi)
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Species: Half Elf/Half...something else
Height: 5'-10"
Eyes: Silvery blue (Like the full moon though a cloud)
Appearance: He's a little rough around the edges, and it looks like he's had a hard life, though he was raised in a well-to-do household. His clothing usually consists of earth-tones (greens, browns, blacks, grays, blues, reds). Normally he wears a darkred tunic with black pants and boots. He wears a cloak around his shoulders when not in the store, it's of a brownish material, that when the light hits it just right, it changes colors to green-tones.
Attitude: Aside from being a little scared of dragons, he's fairly easy to get along with. His mother might own the shop he worked in, but she didn't control every aspect of Yoshi's life. He has much of the same attitude his mother has, as most elves have. Be at peace with what you are, and try not to harm others intentionally, except to save another that is special to you.
Background: Being born of an elf, he was raised to behave like an elf, even if his father was something else. He has two siblings that he doesn't speak to often, an older sister he rarely sees, and a younger brother that tries too hard to be like their father. He has another sister who lives with his mother, who normally runs the market shop, when she's not out finding new fabrics for their mother to make clothing from. If he's ever asked what the other half of his lineage is, he'll go silent or change the subject. His mother taught him how to make clothing through magic, should he need to repair a garment while on the run. She taught him other simple spells for protection.
Other Notes: He tends to run should anyone see his other side. He does his best to hide every aspect of his father's blood in his veins, even if he fails at hiding it completely at times. He may look human at a glance, but then again, a lot of things look human at first. From a young age, he's know he was different, but he never used it to his advantage. Normally, he tries to avoid dragons, as he fears them. If the dragons ever found them, they'd be dead, but the fear he held was in contradiction to what his mother always taught him, to treat everyone as equals. He usually tried his best to find out what he could about different breeds of dragons.
He thinks in purple.
