Lady Lauren Forest

For those with open ears, you'll find that this strange young noble is...

• ...happily married to a retired paladin, Sir Forest.
• ...mother to three absolutely adorable triplets.
• ...wishy-washy about what race she is. 'Cheetahfaun' seems to be the easiest answer.
• ...also in love with a good drink, a good fight, and a good string of swears.
• ...some manner of supernaturally-inclined and isn't shy about showing it off. She's even got the papers to do so.
• Inspite of her 'Commoners behavior', is still very much a noblewoman and a blue blood and has various papers to prove it. Her blood is is just tainted a little oddly.

And...

Lauren's a strange creature. She calls herself a "Cheetahfaun", and is apt to do so: her body, though it resembles a human's for the most part, gives away to fur, spots, and footpaws from the waist down. Her body is curvy and most certainly feminine, but she looks a little rough around the edges with her claws and fangs and occasionally cheeky grins. Most of her fair flesh is covered in the splotchy markings of a king cheetah, with the exception of the very middle of her front and her face. Fur is present over her forearms and hands like a set of gloves, with the exception of flesh where the pads would normally be.

Two of Lauren's more striking features are a pair of spotted wings and a long tail. The latter doesn't really match, as it's blue as the sky and covered in midnight blue spots and three rows of sharp blue spikes. Her attire however isn't very remarkable. Usually colored in some earthy tone, she wears skirts, dresses, peasants tops, and a whole manner of coats and hats that look like they've seen some use over the years.

The lass has got an indiscernible accent, yet she sounds and seems nice enough. Still, aspects of her personality might be something that could leave a lot to be desired. Years of formal etiquette training just go right out the window with this one.

She's adventurous with a mildly cautious streak that shows up when things grow obviously hairy, and she'll seek out the next exciting journey from the tops of the highest mountains to the rowdiest of port city taverns. Lauren also likes a good drink, no matter how stiff it is, and her vocabulary is horrendously colorful and sometimes very tactless.

Befitting of her feline appearance, Lauren is fully capable of all the various mannerisms and noises cheetahs make, and she uses them appropriately with the situations that go on around her. She's prone to fits of extensive grooming and preening (and to an extent is somewhat vain) and meticulous organization.

In spite of her uncouth ways, the young woman has got a good heart and a decent set of manners going for her, and more often than not her worst unpleasantness only show up when you begin to push her buttons or find her in a state of annoyance before hand. She's surprisingly resourceful and optimistic, willing to do hard work when she must and take control when no one else can or will. It's a wonder with her rough edges just where this sense of controlled, noble leadership comes from.

Miscellaneous

• Desk clock (Mahogany)
• Possessions from Heimdall's hoard, as dictated by their player:
  • A large bronze goblet with geometric golden inlays. It appears dwarvish in make, and is inset with a number of finely cut carnelian jewels. It is clearly meant for oversized dwarf hands.
  • A silver tiara with a big moonstone in the shape of an eye set right in the forehead. Radiating out from the moonstone in the 8 primary directions are smaller teardrop-shaped gems made of pale blue topaz. When each of the eight tears are touched, the eye glows brightly. While the eye is glowing, the wearer (and the wearer only) may touch it against a minor to semi-major wound on anyone, which will then be healed with an icy sensation. The scar will be pale white and glimmer strangely. To recharge the power, the tiara must be left out for an entire month, from full moon to full moon.
  • Several finely-cut jewels: a sapphire the size of a quarter in that traditionally jewel-y cut, two matching amethyst orbs, and a square sapphire the length of a pinky finger.

Lauren's beloved little pet is of a species of creatures called drembles, which resembles something like a cross between a common house cat and a dragon. Just like any other member of her species, Alice is covered in a luxurious coat of fur (in a rare coloration of purple no less). This pelt is marked by copper colored stripes and spots all across the body. Her eyes are strikingly blue like a pair of jewels.

Alice is a young creature, having been born in Skuldhellir in a clutch of five eggs. She's playful and curious, but she's fiercely attached to her owner and won't hesitate to come running to the young woman when there is trouble afoot.

Lauren has been, with some trial and error, teaching Alice how to pick locks and carry messages around.She's getting pretty decent at it and understands basic commands, and Lauren's knack for chittering and chirping like a cheetah helps when she needs to give a far more private command.

Drembles weren't made by me, but instead by the fantastic Heimdall! Credit and the drawing goes to it, used with permission!
