Name: Tampa Tiderunner
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Species: River Otter
Occupation: Wanderer
Physical Appearance:
Tampa is a rather dark chocolate furred otter with light belly fur. She is of average height and build. She has the scars from whippings on her back, and some knife scars she won in honest battle.
Her features are actually very pretty, once you get past her fierce expression. Her eyes are a soft brown hardened to flint from her years spent as a slave.
Possessions
Her only possesions are a sling and an oak leaf carved out of cedar. She also carries a dagger.
Personality:
Tampa is a bit bitter towards vermin, especially foxes and stoats. She tends to kill them on sight, ask questions later, and regret never. She's made it a goal in life to do just that.
All that considered, she still has a pretty good outlook on life. She has a merry sense of humor, though it is advisable to cover your ears when she laughs.
Whoohahahooh!
She is also characterized by an indomitable spirit, fighting or otherwise.
Strengths:
She has a decent singing voice, despite her laugh.
She is very fast on land or water, with reflexes to match.
Weaknesses:
She has a tendency to launch into her earsplitting laugh at odd times, such as when it is a good idea to be silent.
A sort of blindness towards vermin, and a tendency to dash into situations she knows nothing about.
History:
Tampa was born on the south-western sea-shore, south of Salamandastron. Her father was a boatbuilder, and her mother was a river otter from the holt in Mossflower. She had a relatively quiet life until WARR and Luna's hordes came to the shores of Salamandastron. Her father insisted she learn at least the rudimentary skill of using a dagger and sling to hit something besides herself.
The hordes didn't come far enough south to find her family and their holt, and when, that summer, her mother insisted she visit her Aunt in Mossflower, she didn't argue.
She was sixteen at the time, and feeling anxious to roam. So she headed off to Mossflowr. She was almost to her goal, the woodlands, when she met the two slavers, Greennose and Ren. Not having much experience with the habits of vermin, she moved a little too slowly.
Over the next two years she was their slave. She worked for them during the day and was tied to a stake at night. Greennose was lazy, but Ren had a sadistic sense of humor and enjoyed beating her for the slightest cause. He is the cause of her whipping scars.
One night, the two ambushed a traveling squirrel and stole several flasks of wine, along with food. That night they tied her too loosely, and she chewed through the ropes and ran away.
