Attire: consists of her dark blue sleeveless tunic that flows down halfway down her legs. She also carries a heavier darker blue cloak rolled up in her back pack (which also doubles as a blanket to sleep if she needs). She has matching fish bone carved bracelets on each wrist. She has a woven black belt with a shoulder harness on the right shoulder. On her belt she has her side pouch for carrying who knows what. She has a holley blue agate pendant around her neck (Usually hidden under her tunic) and a silver earring in each ear.
Weapons (and accessories) : Shauntee carries the usual otter weapon of a sling and stones. She also has a thin blue bladed dagger (Mostly for cutting herbs). She has the usual healers kit in her backpack and carries the tools of making her medicines; those include mortar and pastel, glass tubes, small containers of carved wood or glass, small bark cloth bags, her small blank book of recipes for ailments and a pen and ink, etc. She also always has a bag of fresh or dried mint on her that she loves to chew on. So most likely you can smell her before you see her.
Personality: Shauntee is the type to stay silent until she feels comfortable. She is soft spoken and well mannered. She has a strong devotion to those who are her friends and willing to help at all cost. She stands up for those who she feels have been wronged.
When she wants to be alone, she often will disappear. She tries not to be around when she is depressed and again will leave rather then have others wonder about her. She tries not to be violent and prefers to be the healer instead of the killer. She never talks about what had happened to her and her Holt. No one, not even the leaders would ever get that out of her.
History: Born up on the North coast in her home Holt of Windbreeze. Her father was the chieftain and her mother was the best healer around. Shauntee was the learner of her siblings, which consisted of 2 brothers and a baby sister. When she was old enough her mother asked her to travel inland to find a rare and cure all Herb called the moon flower. There was a sickness that has broken out in her Holt after a sea otter was found floating in the surf and cared for by the Holt. Shauntee went out, feeling proud that her family would consider her worthy to go out alone and find this special and rare flower to help her sick friends.
When returned 12 days later to her beloved Holt to find it destroyed and everyone massacred. Her father and the warriors where laying out on the blood tinged sand, being picked by gulls and torn to pieces. She ran inside to find the old and young all heaped in a corner, brutally killed. The Holt smelled of foxes and rats and anything of value taken or destroyed.
Shauntee spent 2 days non-stop burying her family and friends. Then she set south, delusional and dizzy from lack of food, water and sleep. Her cloths were blood soaked and her eyes red from tears of grieving.
She wandered, half starved and semi- delusional when she reached the Otter fort. She was taken and cared for and now resides there.
