Name:
Merakerr
Species:
Gryphon
Age:
5
Gender:
Female
Height:
Approximately pony sized
Appearance: Merakerr is a young gryphon, but not of the variety one would expect when hearing the word. Her avian forequarters is designed after an osprey, and her feline hindquarters after a snow leopard. In build she is about the size of a pony, standing half as high as the native dominant species of Isilme. She is all lean muscle, without an ounce of superfluous fat anywhere. In coloration she is a silver grey without any of the distinguishing marks of either of her halves... at least so far. Sometimes in direct sunlight, in summer coat, one can make out the faintest spotting on her haunches, and the hint of darker grey on her wings. Perhaps she's growing into her markings? While she might seem a fierce predator, Merakerr is utterly harmless to the equines, unicorns, and pegasi of Isilme. She leads a strictly marine diet, consisting mostly of fish of any size she can catch, and the occasional 'small' marine mammal when she's lucky.
Personality: Merakerr is naturally polite and well-mannered, with a firm grasp of the local language mangled somewhat by the fact that she has to speak through a beak. Thus the prevalence of hisses and trills in her speech patterns, though she does try to make herself understood regardless. She is quite friendly, with an intense curiosity that can lead to numerous questions and sometimes astute discussions. There is also a mischievious edge to her, which leads to minor pranks on those she knows. Also, Merakerr is very protective of her friends, given that they're all she has anymore.
Family:
History: Her history in Isilme is fairly long. She stumbled upon the Tides after being separated from her family by a storm, where she met Aera and learned that she'd inadvertently discovered Isilme. During her roaming to find a suitable place to settle down in, she bumped into a pair of pegasi and ended up wandering back to the Tides after they were reclaimed by the unicorns, but never met any. When full-scale war broke out, Merakerr retreated into the mountains, denning in the caves she found there and only venturing out when hunger drove her to hunt. Fortunately she was tucked away in a den when the blackout happened, and far enough away that the unleashed magic didn't harm her further. An early waker, she continued to stay away until she began to glimpse the pegasi again, when she finally decided it was safe to venture back into the lowlands.
Other: Gave up her flight feathers to TG for the span of one Winter in order to receive her magic.
Cold Bubble - [water/light] The air immediately around her body is a constant 20 degrees F
- Unsuspecting aggressors may be startled by this temperature shift.
- Can be used medically to slow bleeding of a patient if she is close enough, also good for cold storage should she acquire some sort of carry-harness. (with good cause)
