Name: Catrain Cleeves

Age: 23 years

Gender: female

Race: human (Tris'Hathian - Sudlanese)

Height: 5'4"

Personality: Deceptively normal, downright dumb, and friendly.

Description: Auburn hair, blue-green eyes, light brown skin. If Catrain has ever known a day out of the sun, she doesn't remember it. Her skin has a ruddy colour and texture thanks to her life at sea. Her hair is a wild, untamed mass that has never seen a brush. She will typically tie it up in a bandana to keep it out of her eyes. She likes to wear bright blues and greens to match her eyes, and she has a gap-toothed smile due to an incident with a fish when she was a child.

Biography:

Cat grew up on the water. The daughter of a sailing merchant and his wife, she spent her formative years travelling the coast with her family, trading with new and interesting people, and trying not to get underfoot. She never developed the skill for navigation that her mother had, or her father's natural ability to lead, but she was beloved by the entire crew for her happy, carefree attitude and quick smile.

When the war came, her father committed them to sailing halfway around the world to bring supplies to the beleaguered Lanuthan troops. The first time Cat saw a hydra was when it swam beneath their boat, only to emerge at the tip and rain devastation on the ships all around them. By some miracle, Cat's family and their ship survived. Though a great deal was lost in the process. Not the least of which was Cat's innocent view of the world. Though Cat had only ever known the water as her home, she developed a fierce love for dragons and the dragon riders thanks to the war efforts. As soon as she came of age, she announced to her family that she wanted to travel to the Warren to become a candidate. Her parents were not thrilled with the idea, but it wasn't the bit about becoming a dragon rider that irked them. For all of Cat's sweet charm and charisma, she lacked one very important life skill; intelligence. Cat had the mental capacity of a puppy, and the energy to match. Her parents objected to her plans on the basis of not trusting that she'd be safe on her own. Cat heard their complaints and opted to go anyway. The next time they put into port, she left a note for her parents under their door, then slipped away into the night. It was not the most well thought out escape plan, but by the following morning, she'd befriended a merchant carrying goods to the Warren and bummed a ride. In truth, the merchant took pity on the clearly clueless girl and wanted to do something to help her live through the day. Life at the Warren was not what Cat expected, and she quickly became overwhelmed. None of the skills she developed on the ship were useful here, and she found herself getting lost constantly. She almost began to think that her parents had the right of it when she came across a young dodrian pup that bonded with her in a flash. With the aid of the pup, whom she named Skipper, the chaos of the dragon riding stronghold became a little easier to manage. And then she was called away to another world...
