Rising-River

Rising-River was a Child of Gaia Metis member of the Sept of the Bright Promise during the 13th-century.[1] Rising-River was eventually slain by Crusaders.[2]

Background

Rising-River was born at the Bright Promise to a Warder mother and a Child of Gaia father. His father left in shame, forsaken by his tribe for his sin, while his mother killed herself just after his birth. He has never known the comfort of a family or the love of a parent. He has always accepted this lonely lot even as he despises it, turning his hands and eyes to the service of the sept, as Gaia did not see fit to give him a voice with which to perform his duties as a Lover of the Ways. At a young age, Rising-River took to the written word with a great passion, perhaps to compensate for his twisted tongue. He fastidiously recorded the events that transpired at the caern, as well as writing down the ancient stories of his tribe. It was Rising-River's obvious bitterness and the patience and precision with which he had carried on for years despite it, which drew Aldo to him. While Rising-River has few resources to offer the pack, he has a dangerously incisive mind when it comes to matters of organization, and he never forgets anything.

Rising-River's natural shape is quite unpleasant to behold. His neck is permanently skewed slightly to the left. While he can correct this, it causes him considerable pain after a while. The teeth on the left side of his muzzle don't sit right and his jaw is uneven. His long, matted coat of light gray fur serves to hide the subtle twist in his spine, though he always appears slightly hunched, as though trying to avoid notice. Any vocal noise he makes is breathless and ragged. In Homid form, his deformities remain the same, though his face is not entirely unhandsome. Despite his, he hides behind his tangle of black hair and keeps from making eye contact. In Lupus form, he appears much as in his Crinos shape and limps on his left foreleg.
