(To the possible dismay of the above lamp...)
Name: Sarah Marcathlas
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Species: Neko
Family: Orphan. Mother died at birth and father didn't want anything to do with her or her mother. No known immediate family and she doesn't view her employer/caretaker as family.
Personality: Quiet and reserved vocally but her feline shows if she gets angry: very vocal, "catty." Sarah's loyalties lie where she wants them to be. No one can buy her loyalty nor seduce her – though she has been known to get rather playful when exposed to catnip. She knows she is attractive, but doesn't flaunt it unless she feels like it – comes off more as a tomboy than a girl. Views girly things a nuisance, finds make-up grotesque, and thinks dresses would be better suited as window coverings. Sarah is very job oriented with a task-goal mindset. A "working girl" in a non-erotic sense.
History: She doesn't know her mother or biological father.
Sarah had a relatively easy childhood considering her orphan status. Though she wasn't dropped off at an orphanage – she was found abandoned in a back ally and left to die inside a burlap sack (no one knows who did that) – she did obtain "caretakers" as she calls them. Ever since she has been able to, Sarah has been working to bring in money.
She has gone through various jobs with her caretakers. The first being an experiment and horrifically racist/speciest: a rat catcher. That lasted a period of a few weeks before she nearly clawed out one of her caretaker's eyes in rebellion. The next job after that was more girly as a flower maiden – Sarah's male caretaker found her dress for that job clawed to shreds around her while she was making various weavings out of the material. That signaled her next job: weaver.
Weaving lasted the longest and she was very adept at it. She apprenticed as a weaver, but the formality of the training destroyed whatever joy she received from it. Thankfully, she thinks, it lasted long enough for her to start apprenticing under her male caretaker as a fire lamp harvester. This, so far, has been Sarah's most favorite due to the freedom she has. She still weaves, but just for herself or caretakers. (Her most advanced weaving job was the backpack she wears on a daily basis.)
Current Goal/Purpose: Fire lamp harvester. She making her way through the Forest of Light harvesting smaller fire lamps attached and growing to their hosts. The larger ones she cannot use and is afraid to touch due to dragon's using them for their fire breath fuel.
Appearance:
- Fur: Orange tabby pattern.
- Eyes: Golden-green.
- Physical Build:Thin and nimble-looking. Her legs are more muscular than the rest of her body due to her constant running.
- Clothing: Disheveled. She wears a tunic cinched with a semi-wide, brown belt. Her shirt underneath the tunic shows a bit too much fur, but she finds it comfortable. She wears cargo shorts, though she doesn't use the pockets – she just enjoys the bagginess of them. She shuns shoes preferring to be able to feel the ground with her foot-paws.
- Accessories: She wears a worn hat someone gave her randomly off the street which is brown and has a four-inch brim. It appears too big for her but it's actually just the right size. She has customized it so her feline ears poke out the top. Attached to her belt are her tools: a knife that looks like a mushroom harvesting knife, a bag of thermal plugs which glows a soft blue, and dragon skin gloves. At her back is her bag for depositing the fire lamps. The bag is connected at both her belt and with backpack straps. It contains enough supplies for going out on multi-day excursions while filling up on fire lamps.
