*************
Personality: Tinder, true to her name, is a firebrand by nature, though her temper takes time to simmer before it explodes in a conflagration of anger and elven curses. She is generally soft-spoken, but can be blunt, loud, and crude if annoyed by elves only interested in keeping their nethers warm in her furs. Tinder doesn't mind letting others share in the practical aspects of her magic, but she doesn't appreciate being used like an elf's personal fire-place. Her temperature, always consistently running hot, is a bonus during cold weather, but she'll scorch you if you dare to treat her like a magical plaything and not a person.
Appearance: Tinder is a typical desert elf being bronze-skinned, almond-eyed, and having a straight nose with wide nostrils, and cat-elf fangs in her mouth. Her face is oval-shaped with a sharp pointed chin that is always raised high and never meekly lowered. She is proud by nature and bears herself with the confidence of a lioness. She is around 3' 10" in height.
Hair: Long, black, and wavy to the back, but always worn in a tight braid down her back.
Eyes: Bright and feline green with slitted pupils.
Clothes: A simple buckskin dress to the knee, slit up the waist, and tied off with a green sash. This is worn over a pair of buckskin breeches, boots or sandals, depending on the weather. She dons warmer clothes in winter, usually fur-lined, and insulated with dried moss or feather packing.
Jewelry: A Mother-of-Pearl disk on a choker made of black leather worn around her neck. It was a memento of her mother, Deepsun.
*************
Circadian rhythm:
Knowledge:
Humans: Has encountered them before though not recently. She had a best friend that was a human, a woman called Zeilacoia or simply Coia.
Magic gone bad: Has no experience with this except small accidents when first learning to use her own fire-magic. Her control as a cub was very poor for one with so strong a gift.
Other elves: Has encountered them through her life, though not often. Sometimes as new tribemates, and others as wandering elves.
Preservers: Has no experience or knowledge of these little creatures.
Trolls: Has no experience or knowledge of these creatures.
*************
History: Born in Sand Dune Valley, a holt in the desert, Tinder than called Mirage as a cub, grew up in a relatively closeknit family. She was spoilt and a precocious child until her eighth summer when her firemagic suddenly manifested. She accidentally, in a moment of fright, set the Healer's den ablaze, a place occupied by their tribal healer, her brother Dune. Mirage was shaken by the experience, especially when her brother sustained second-degree burns from being caught in the blaze. He survived and was able to heal himself over a period of several eight of days. Mirage never forgave herself for injuring him, however unintentionally.
She was eventually apprenticed by her mother, Deepsun, to another magic-user. None other than her healer-brother Dune. Mirage under his tutelage learned to control her gift, though it took many turns of the seasons to gain mastery over her own fears. The fire in her burned hot and yearned to be unleashed. Mirage in her sixtieth year, after using her gift on an ill-fated Hunt to save a fellow tribemate, was renamed Tinder to commemorate her bravery, and to help dispell the fear the tribe had over the strength of her magical talent.
Tinder over the next three centuries of her life would prove that her magic had a place in the tribe. She became a potter, cook, and tanner, using her firemagic practically to make useful utensils and crockery for her tribemates, to cook, and finally to aid in the busy tasks of keeping the tribe clothed through all four turns of the seasons.

Bond beast
Name: Thistle
Age: 2 years old
Gender: Male
Species: Serval
Personality: Sly and secretive, he'll sneak up on you and pounce, just to keep himself amused. Affectionate with those he adores, but dismissive of those he dislikes. He is a mercurial cat that will bring you dead rats if he loves you, and leave smelly presents in your garden if he loathes you.
