Name: Mabuse (Mah BU say) Streamsong
Nicknames: None
Date of Birth: October 31st
Title: None
Gender: Female
Race: Tauren
Age: 38
Class: Shaman
Hair: Black
Skin: Deep gray, with paler mottling over her haunches, shoulders and neck
Eyes: Liquid brown
Height: 7' 0"
Weight: 400 lbs (Soaking wet and with all her gear)
Place of residence: Currently none. She is nomadic.
Place of Birth: Unknown. Her foster mother, the priestess Zaranya, rescued her and her cousin Hamuul from the wreckage of their family camp, and settled in a tiny remote village in the Stone Talon Mountains.
Known Relatives: Her foster mother Zaranya, an ancient Tauren priestess, with whom she hasn't spoken with for several years, not since leaving the tiny highland village they'd been living in as a traveling healer.
Group/Guild affiliation: None
Guild Rank: None
Enemies: None (that she knows of). She's usually a welcome person, with her healing skills.
Likes: Singing, cooking, and enjoying nature
Dislikes: The herb dill (as a flavor), and mosquitoes
Favorite Foods: Almost everything. She's not too picky.
Favorite Drinks: Juices and ciders. Her vague pipe dream is to start a cellar, where she'll make all sorts of beverages from fresh fruits, plants and herbs.
Favorite Colors: The blue of the ocean on a summer day, and the greens of an evergreen forest. She also likes the purity of freshly fallen snow, and yellow, because daffodils are her favorite flower.
Weapons of Choice: She usually handles weapons distastefully, being a gentle sort, but no fool travels as far and wide as she does unarmed. She carries a solid ironwood staff (which doubles as a walking stick) and a large knife on her shoulder (resembling the ever famous bowie knife, only about twice as big).
Hobbies: When not busy healing or traveling, she weaves baskets and carves small figures and simple toys from wood, and sells or trades them to procure rare herbs and other things for healing. She believes that the earth has all the ingredients to heal injuries, and she uses her extensive knowledge of herbs and plants in combination with her magic to treat her patients. She also has some skill at trapping and curing hides and furs, and some claim that she produces furs of the finest quality. She is skilled at harvesting and preserving.
(Main Professions: Skinning and Herbalism
Secondary Professions: Fishing, Cooking and First Aid)
Positive Personality Traits: Friendly and open minded, quite easy going, willing to help passersby, a gentle creature (for the most part)
Negative Personality Traits: Slightly gullible at times, so when she is betrayed by someone thought to be trusted, she becomes rather, ah...tetchy.
Physical Features: Tall and yet surprisingly dainty for such a creature, she keeps herself clean and well groomed, as a healer has to look like a healer, not a vagrant. Horns and hooves are trimmed and polished, fur is curried until it gleams, and she carries her tail quite high to keep it out of the dirt. Her only form of armor is a simple chain mail tunic, belted over a cream colored linen under-tunic, with a dark green thick cotton over tunic secured with a thick leather belt. She has a dark gray traveling cloak, and a large travelers pack on her back.
History: She was born into a small family group of nomadic Taurens in the foothills of the Stone Talon Mountains. She was only an infant when centaurs, the Taurens mortal enemies, attacked the group in the depth of the night and violently butchered the surprised adults. None but two children survived. Mabuse and her cousin, Hamuul, who was a few years older, were overlooked, where an old grandmother had shoved them both, bundled in a hide, into a hollowed log, before charging the centaurs.
The two babies had huddled in the log, too terrified even to squeak, where they were found by old Zaranya, a (then rare) Tauren priestess. She buried the bodies of the slain, marked them, then scooped the babies up and took them with her to a remote village in the mountains, about four days and three nights out of Sunrock Retreat, a village so small it didn't even have a name other than "Home" for the inhabitants.
The two youngsters grew up there, and grew very close. Mabuse has no recollection of the tragic event that killed her family, and Hamuul only has vague nightmares about it, but they grew up strong and relatively happy learning the ways of the land and the Tauren people. The old Priestess taught them everything she knew about healing, and then Mabuse moved on to train with a Shaman in Sunrock Retreat, and from there began her travels as a healer.
