Physical Description:

Rael is a young girl with bright blue eyes that glow brilliantly in the dark. She has a light tan due to genetics. Her skin has yet to be kissed with sun, it is unsure how her body will react to the harsh environment outside. Her body is small with an average set of muscles as Teinar children have. Lithe like her mother, but it's hard to see the muscles unless she is actually using them. Dark brown is the color of her long hair which usually is tied back in dual ponytails. It falls to her elbows and is a bit on the thin side. Rae is not sure what her father looks like, but she prides herself on a growing collection of scars like her mother. These mostly are on her elbows and knee caps from accidental slips and falls though. She did get bit by a 2 foot spider once, it's fangs left dual marks on her left bicep. As she likes to display her "battle wounds", she wears tank tops and capris or shorts. A collection of dark bruises are found on her calves and forearms that she is equally proud of.

Rae usually modifies clothes she finds around town to fit her own needs. Receiving clothes from older siblings or adventurers is her favorite. She cherishes any gift that comes from outside of Teinar and usually wears it around for a few days no matter what it is. Things she can wear around her neck tend to be her favorite, scarfs especially.

Personality:

Eternally Excited. Like her mother Jael, Rael loves her life. However she does crave more. She wants to actually do something outside of the city. Her hopes of being a hunter are slim, and if she hasn't entertained the idea of being a Scout since so many family members and Older scouts have been opposed to the idea completely. It's mostly due to observing her clumsiness. She is so eager to be of use that she is a hazard most times. She likes to look out for her younger sibling as this makes for a good scapegoat. She's inquisitive, unafraid to ask questions, persistent, energetic, and positive. There are times that doubt and gloom surround her, but these times are short lived. As much as she wants to be of use, she wants to find her place among the world. She's not sure the world is in her beloved city of Teinar though. She Rael really wants is to fly a dragon. A REAL Dragon.

Ever since she met the Ancient Elf Scout AL drew her a dragon, Rael has been infatuated with the idea. She even prays to the God who made Dragons asking the "Lord of Dragon" to increase her courage, gain a Dragons strength, for others to view her as dependable, and to let her meet a true dragon one of these days. There are little things she does throughout her daily life to give honor to the Dragons, but most do not notice it. Most do not know that she prays this way, never mind that it's been happening daily for a couple of years now without fail. Occasionally she delivers her own punishment for negative thinking as Dragons would never do so. Handstands are typical of her to do for negative thinking. She does not learn from physical whoopings much, but absolutely hates it when an older family member is called away from their work to reprimand her. She does not want to be a burden and causing them to miss time doing work is only more negative in her book.

Raels favorite activity is running along the roof tops. She often follows the Ancient Elf known as AL as she knows the best routes. However, the child usually can not keep up for long, nor make the long jumps required. Being the center of attention is not something she does consciously. She picked up a few of her traits from her mother. As independent as Rael is, she is equally dependent on her mother. She will not hesitate to seek her out to ask questions as she does not have many others she can rely on to give her a correct answer. Though Rael questions a lot of things, she is good at carrying out orders. She likes to experience things first hand, so she does not listen to stories for too long. She'd rather try it out herself and see how it works out for her than listen to someone elses tale. As much as she loves books, Rael is not the best reader and can only make out portions of texts. Art and maps are her farotite things to look at and collect.

Magic/Abilities:

The only abilities one could attribute Rael is her glowing eyes and durability. Even in the dim environment, her eyes are a brilliant blue. In the dark, they actually shine and are visible to others. This helps her a little by giving extra light in the area. However it can be a nuisance as she has to keep her eyes shut to keep from being seen. The only time it is dim is if she is feeling any negative emotions. If gloomy, her eyes will not shine at all. Her durability is nothing major, but just noted as she tends to fall down, run into things, and trip all over the place and only get minor wounds. Rael actually celebrates when she gets a scar, but she tends to be able to take more hits than an average child before actually being worn down.

The only weapon Rael is decent with tend to be blunt objects and fisticuffs. She can do a decent amount of damage with her hand guards, but her overall aim is less than ideal. Not many would trust her with a blade. If someone does, they usually find out a quick way to get it back. if there's one thing she's good at it's setting traps. She prides herself on being able to set up a good trap, but usually takes it too far and boasts of how it works completely to whomever asks if they fill her ego up enough. She is good a telling most poisonous plants and fungi apart, and actually is a decent cook for her age.


Relationships:
Rael knows her mother, Jael Jäger, by face and name, but does not know much about her own father. She finds support in many around the city. She has 3 older siblings and a younger one whom she may interact with on various accounts. Though they mostly live together, the various work activities make it rare for all of them to be together at once.

She gets schooling like most other Teiner kids with a mix of educational, but emphasis on practical knowledge and skill development. Her favorite people to learn from are shop keepers and other citizens. She's required to help them out a certain hours a day after all. Alma, or AL as people call her, is one of her favorites to learn from, though it's very hard for her to gain any first hand knowledge from the silent Elf.

Rael has a few good friends who are both her gang and "nemeses." There are a lot of kids in Teinar, and friendships come and go as much as people do. Learning to work together as a team is important, so group play is encouraged. They have rival "gangs" whom they compete against in daily tasks of duty and skill. Raels is the leader of her group called The Ice Dragins as they are mostly girls and the concept of ice is super mega cool. (Dargin is a female Dragon in her books.) Their main Rival team she calls the called "Red Dragons." Like all productive rivals, they are good friends who look out for each other to make sure no one really gets hurt,  but they challenge each other on constantly to be better than they were before.


History:
Born and raised in Teinar to a wonderful mother, Jael. Rael is in the process of having what she considers to be an awesome childhood. When she was 6,  she managed to wander into one of the tunnels away from the boarders of the city in search of her mother. What Rael saw was a wonderful world, beautiful and dangerous, scary yet brilliant. She fell in love with it. She even got her first battle wound when a 2 foot spider bit her in the arm. Ever since then her eyes have glowed in the dark. Thankfully she wasn't alone, and others came to keep the creature from devouring her. Aside from that adventure, Rael has not been away from the city.

Ever since then, her questions and adventurous nature have grown. She's put her all into training to be strong and skills, but usually her efforts end up backfiring. She is currently used as a Pack Rat, responsible for moving items from the edges of city towards the center and vice versa. This mainly consists of dirt, packages, food, and whatever else needs to be delivered. The leaders of her group do not typically trust her with fragile items as Rael has a habit of falling.

Alma introduced her to Dragons, and through a number of travlers she's gotten a broad idea of that t hey are now verses what they used to be. She is eager to find one herself. When she does, she believes she can take to the surface and be the greatest hunter there has yet to be.

Other:
Kudos Flakeblood for letting Rael join the family! We are still looking for other siblings to play, especially a younger sibling who's 6. Each sibling is 4 years apart, the oldest being 22. I'm also looking for fellow kids to be rivals, friends, and have adventures with. My character is not really a great fighter despite her efforts to be a great warrior. Someone who watches over her is welcome. I also fully intend on Rael meeting a real dragon, preferably somewhere underground. If you have any interest or ideas on helping make this happen, I am ALL ears and super mega pleased to work out something with you.
