PC Name: Stryke Opaleye
Gender: Female
Age: 30 seasons
Species: Otter
Other Species:
Appearance/Attire: Stryke Opaleye is an otter of familiar build, possessing a lithe muscle tone and sinuous body. She is a river otter from the high northern climbs and has a more slender build than sea faring creatures of her species. She is almost entirely black in color from the tip of her nose to the end of her rudder like tail. Her fur is sleek and carries a sheen that is slightly iridescent if the light hits it just right. Her paws and footpaws are tough and well worn from years of travel and handling weapons and on occasion reins. The only part of her that is not black is the thin gray stripe that runs from her headfur to the middle of her rudder. Her features are striking to some but what brings attention to her most often is her eyes. One is the regular honey yellow and deep brown of most otters, the others is a milky white color. This of course is where she gets her surname. There is a keenness about this otter maid. Something attracts most beasts, especially of the male persuasion, to her. Some say it is her nature, others say it is because she carries the scent of heather and peat from the far north, and still others cannot put words to the feeling.
Stryke dresses on most occasions for whatever life may bring. She is normally seen in a yellow, lace up long sleeved shirt. This loose fitting garment is almost always covered by a natural brown bark leather jerkin. The jerkin had a slightly higher collar than most. About her waist rests a broad bark leather belt with a silver buckle and a frog at either side for stowing her twin throwing knives. The weapons have no fancy ornamentation and she can wield them with stinging accuracy. She also sports soft black trousers and sometimes moccasin type shoes on her footpaws. Although she can frequently be seen going barepawed about her daily routine.
The otter has more ornamentation than some, but even these serve their purpose. She wears bracers on her lower arms that cover from her elbows to her wrists. These studded metal and leather cuffs add protection in battle, and she thinks they look flashy as well. She also wears three silver and gold chains about her neck and sports a very thick band upon her rudder. Her ears are also studded with many small earrings, mostly of fine metals and precious stones.
As for other weaponry, Stryke is never seen without, Bandello, her trusted whip. It is a black leather corded weapon, the handle of which is made of cherry wood wrapped in fine metal wire. The length of the weapon runs about five feet in length and ends with a viciously bards and studded tip. Bandello is normally carried in a special frog resting behind the throwing dagger at her left side.
Stryke has also been known to carry a half length halberd weapon thrust through a heavy leather strap on her back. The haft has a blade attached to the end which ends in a vicious point.

Desires:

Personality: Stryke is a friendly creature to almost everybeast she is in contact with. Because of her upbringing many find comfort in her presence and still others would look up to her for leadership. She is strong in nature, radiating peace through her confidence. Even when she is in distress the otter hardly ever shows it but to her closest and most trusted companions. When she is alone Stryke often becomes steely and distant. She has many longings deep inside her, things she wants to see, do, and become. Her coming to Fort Emerald Bay is a step in that direction. The otter is also never happier than when she is astride a horse.
History: Stryke grew up in the rivers in the high northlands. The climate was cold and icy, lending to many days spent in the holt with family and friends. She is part of the Holt Tribute under the family of black river otters Ben Neviss. Her family were not in leadership at the Holt though they were respected among all. The otter grew up learning battle tactics and other education from the elders of the community.
When she was teenaged Stryke was taken into confidence with some of the leaders of the Holt. Though she did not know it her Holt was affiliated with a band of horse riders sworn to protect the northlands. Because of her talents in battle training and her quick thinking she, and a pawful of others were picked to be trained for this special job. Stryke took to it right away. The moment she set eyes upon the herd of the Loathian Northland Allegiance Riders the otter maid knew what her hearts desire was. She was trained to ride, jump, and fight from horseback in the old world style.
When Stryke was almost twenty she was set with a rider contingent to check on a group of vermin moving through their territory. When the vermin attacked her contingent Stryke was forced to fight for her life for the first time. Many fell at her sides, in fact all did but herself. The otter carried the news back to the LNAR with heavy grief. As time went on, she healed from this event and trained all the more to be a keen fighter. Eventually she was evenly matched with the best in the LNAR and was asked to go on assignment to seek allegiances further away. Stryke took to the hills on a stallion named Hizenfray, given to her by the LNAR. The two traveled for many seasons until they reached the gates of FEB.
