Name: Imshi Teresa Hlásova
Age: 20
Species: A very unusual Fox/Eagle Hybrid
Location: In her family’s reed-boat travelling to the celebrations in Tina city. The entire Teresa clan are travelling together on their fishing boats down the river to the city.
Occupation: All of the Teresa clan are fisherwomen, with the men acting as servants and rowers of the long reed-barges that the clan uses on ‘Seeker Lake’, hunting the large carp-like fish that swim in its shimmering depths.
Weaponry/Clothing: A long barbed fishing spear (as carried by all of the Teresa clan women) that is tied to the wrist by a long piece of thin rope.
She wears the traditional dress of the clan, consisting of an intricately woven and very wide belt-like piece that is worn just below her midriff. She also wears a similarly wide piece that is worn around the neck and chest like a collar. Both have a thick line of wooden beads woven into them.
Biography: The Teresa clan have the long-standing tradition of always naming their girls by the name of Teresa and using their first ‘conjoined’ name to differentiate between them. Such an ancient tradition holds the clan in high respect with other nearby villages.
Imshi was always a lonely child, spending most of her days with a boy two years her younger by the name of Yenchi. This solitude was primarily caused by her unusual parentage, much to the delight of the old village healer who proclaimed her at birth to have been blessed by seeker himself. Whether this is true, or this is simply what happens with every avian hybrid, Imshi-Teresa has the appearances of her vulpine mother and the wings of her eagle father.
On this day before the celebration of seeker, she announced her sworn-servant to be Yenchi Lantto – her closest and only childhood friend, much to the outrage of her family and friends.
Appearance: Imshi takes most after her mother, being a full-figured vulpine, curvy with generous hips and thighs. She wears the extra weight timidly, not having the same self-confidence of her mother, despite women like her being perceived as the more beautiful in the surrounding villages. Her short fur is a light russet-colour, with her muzzle and chest being white as well as the tip to her tail which is short and sleek.
She has bright amber eyes and chestnut hair, drawn back into a long plaited ponytail with a few loose strands of braided hair at her fringe.
Her most distinctive feature however is the wings that sprout from her shoulder blades, a seamless transition from silky fur to dark feathers. The wings reach down to just below her waist when drawn back and fan out to double her arm span when fully outstretched. The feathers are the same colour as her hair, dark chestnut.

Name: Yenchi Lantto
Age: 18
Species: Wildcat
Location: On the same reed-boat as Imshi.
Occupation: Now the sworn-servant to Imshi-Teresa
Weaponry/Clothing: Two curved knives carved from animal horn, one hilt has a tooth set into it curving in the opposite direction to the blade of the knife while the other is inset with a sharpened flint.
His usual clan attire is that of rough hunting leathers, but now as a sworn-servant he must wear the clothing of the Teresa fishing-clan.
Biography: Yenchi Lantto has been close friends with Imshi as long as he can remember. Despite the unusualness of this both families allowed the friendship to stay, seeing that both children were equally detached from the other children of their age and thought it would do them good, especially Imshi.
Neither family however expected Yenchi to accept the position of sworn-servant to a woman of another clan, causing something of an outrage in both families that has been the talk around many a village fire.
Appearance: A young wildcat with a rather small frame for his age, even for his species. He is lean and rather thin with fur of a soft ashen-grey and dappled white, with white fur spreading down his muzzle to his stomach as well as white paws and feet.
Yanchi’s eyes are light blue and his hair a slightly darker grey than his fur, cut back except for two short braids of hair that hang down to just above his shoulders. All in all he is an unusually feminine and quiet looking male in a society where most are strong and large. In some way this is rather why Imshi asked of him as a sworn-servant, despite the outrage it has caused.

Name: Vin
Species: Feral 'Harker Bird' (looks similar to an Earth Kingfisher)
Appearance:
Harker Birds are small, around the size of a clenched fist and electric blue. They have four sets of wings, the second smaller set just behind a pair of turquoise claws. Has small turquoise eyes that look far more intelligent than a normal bird. The Harker birds are amazing fishers, able to pluck fish twice their size out of rivers and are well known for their intelligence and inquisitiveness.
Bio: Vin has been Imshi's only childhood friend other than Yenchi, having been caught and given to the girl by an aunt at a young age. The bird, whose lifespan is almost as long, if not longer than Imshi's herself, follows the vixen wherever she goes.
Okay Asia. Just say if anything there needs changing
(Oh, and sorry for the rather large wall of text. I just like to be very discriptive with character sheets
