__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description
Maite has dark hair that goes to about mid-back, bronze skin, and brown eyes. She has a slightly angular face accompanied by a strong jaw. Standing about 5' 10", she is also fit and agile, only partially due to her father’s gentics.
She did not adopt very obvious exotic characteristics from her father. Her backbone protrudes slightly more than most Edani humans, as do her shoulder blades, and her skull is a bit more obvious underneath the skin of her face. Both her finger and toenails are extremely resilient. They are not, however, claws, they only grow tougher.
Her jaw is also much stronger. Similarly, her teeth are more durable, and almost all of them are canines. They are not razor sharp. She also has a small pouch underneath her tongue.

She wears a half-mask in the shape of a skull that covers from her eyebrows to the end of her nose, as well as two wide, fitted white bracelets and two anklets. Otherwise, her clothing is simplistic, and is usually hidden under a brown thigh-length coat. It consists of a black, fitted, half-sleeved shirt and black pants. She does not wear shoes because of her toenails, but opts for sandals when she has no choice.


Personality
Maite is rather serious and usually takes conversations literally. Most of the time, she appears to be only partially paying attention, as though the one she is interacting with isn't worth her time. When the person is someone she perceives to be better, she focuses intently on everything they say.
Maite is constantly looking to do something, and doesn't enjoy standing around. If made angry, she will vent her emotions on the cause, usually in a physical fight.

Despite this, she doesn't usually announce her presence, and instead skulks around with a mission in mind. She has a strong sense of loyalty that has only grown with age, and is content to take orders from those she deems worthy.


Magic/Abilities
She has good endurance, and heightened senses of smell, hearing, and loyalty. Her nails and teeth are extremely durable. If she loses a tooth, no matter how many times, it will eventually grow back, and she is able to tear through leather with ease. She must file her nails down by tearing hard materials apart every so often. When the pouch under her tongue is rubbed, it will secrete a dangerous substance that she can mix with her spit. It can be deadly when ingested or exposed to an open wound, though it would take a large amount. Maite is immune to her own poison.

She is also good in physical fights, partially because of her natural talents, and partially because of the training she has done to increase her body’s reflexes and flexibility.


Relationships
She has a strained relationship with her mother, a pure Edani human. Maite ended up looking too similar to her father, who her mother met on a trip to Aedolis. Maite believes that her mother regrets the one-night stand that gave Maite life, and so tries to visit her as little as possible. Regardless, she cares for her mother, even if she doesn’t show it.
Maite has never met her father, only heard vague descriptions. Her father is a humanoid with features more pronounced than the ones she inherited, though that's about all she knows. As of now, Maite is slightly curious, and will visit Aedolis to find him in the future.


History
Maite was born in a smaller city on Edanith. Her only family was her mother, who often didn’t have time to spend with her. As a child, Maite would always be playing in either a nearby cave or the surrounding wilderness. She watched the wild animals and explored the terrain, often for hours at a time.
As such, she didn't have many friends; most of the children would be playing elsewhere. She didn't mind though, and soon began to note the differences in the animals she watched. This slowly snowballed into full-fledged scientific observation. Her room would always be filled with journals of her notes, as well as samples of various animal-related items she had collected, from feathers to broken teeth.

In school, she was fascinated by the life-sciences, and often tested her knowledge on unsuspecting wild animals and plants. The wildlife was not likely to get hurt, but those animals that did she caught and took care of while they healed.

Maite left the city at age 14, feeling as though she couldn’t stand being around her mother any longer. She wandered much of the frontier, still noting all she could on the meager wildlife she observed. She didn't have a steady source of income, but she was able to buy just enough food and journals with the money she earned from selling whatever she could steal from bandits.
She now finds herself selling off her observations as art or to various laboratories.


Other
Since she travels almost all over Edanith, she should have met many people, both in megacities and small towns. She's used to people skirting her, for her frontier look in cities and general suspicion on the frontier. Surprise her with niceness, or pick a fight. I'd love for her to have travel companions though, even if only temporary.
She'll fight back if attacked, since she's tough and has good instincts. Things without malicious intent she doesn't see coming, and probably won't know how to react to them anyway.

Rest assured, I see all of you lovely people's posts, but expect me to be a bit slower responding.
