Character Description:
 Larka is 5’4” tall, with long black curls that look to have blue highlights in them in some lights.  She has cobalt blue eyes framed by long dark lashes and arching brows.  This eye color stays with her regardless of what form she takes.  She has pale, almost luminous skin and lips that are naturally a deep rose pink in color.  She is approximately 700 years of age, but does not look it.  Her age is rather undetermined since she was aged magically by a spell while still a child.

            She dresses most often in long skirts and loose shirts of rich jewel tones of blue and red and gold and amber and such.  She often wears an anklet with tiny silver bells that give her step a quiet melody.  Her feet are usually shod in soft slippers or sandals, though when she goes into the hills to harvest herbs she wears sturdy boots.

            Around her neck she always wears a necklace made of jade.  This necklace was given to her by her uncle Roaring Rage, and is a protective charm against harmful magics.

 

Mental Description:

Larka can be very reserved with those she does not know.  She is polite but not always quick to embrace new people as her friend though she will give them the benefit of the doubt and the time to show who and how they are.  Through the years she has developed certain attitudes towards other races.  They are as follows:

            Elves:  She has grown very comfortable with elves and enjoys their company.  Though she does not always realize it she has adopted some of their mannerisms, especially a tendency to be aloof from those she does not know or respect.

            Humans:  Larka has no use for humans; she does not like them and sees few with any redeeming qualities.  She has met some who she has grown to like and enjoy their company. 
 

However, by and large she dislikes and distrusts humans as an inferior species.

            Garou:  Since she is half-Garou she can sense the presence of other Garou, even when in a human-seeming from.  She has a wary respect for them.  Being only half Garou she is not accepted by most and downright shunned by some.

            Vampires and Daemons:  She does not particularly like most of either race.  She keeps a peace of sorts with the Vampires on the isle where she lives, and even calls some friend.  The Daemons she abhors for their evil nature.  She keeps as much distance between herself and those as she can.  She does not fear them, she simply dislikes them.

 Character History:

 Larka was born to Zinthea (a Ke’Chara Shapeshifter) and Moon_Spiral (a Garou).  She has also a twin sister of the name Spiral_Dancer.  When she was young she had a large extended family.  However while still in her teens that family splintered and disintegrating.  Many died and others simply vanished into the hills, never to be heard from again.  Greatly distressed by the conflict within the family, and feeling that she was being torn in two, Larka spent many long weeks exploring the hills and deserted ruins of previous civilizations.  While on one of her journeys she inadvertently activated a long dormant spell.  This spell was intended to age the target to the point of death.  Fortunately for Larka, the jade charm she wore protected her, and simply caused her to be aged overnight from 12 to 24.  This has some rather harsh effects on her inborn abilities, especially since the disintegration of her family and the absence of her father left her pretty much stranded and alone.

            Around this time she met LightTreader and LeetahElf.  She still has her cottage, left to her by her mother after her death, but she resides mainly in the Fortress of Light and has become an unofficial member of the House of Treader.  She considers them her family now and has come to be comfortable in the company of elves.  She is also the resident healer within the Fortress.

 Learned Skills:

 

Language:  Elven (high elf and woods elf), basic communication to Garou, Human mortal languages of English, French, Italian, minimal Chinese, and Ke’Charan.

 

            Healing:  She has studied herbal medicines extensively.  These medicines include Native American healing remedies from the east coast, old w0orld traditional remedies (medieval and renaissance time period), and some of the traditional Chinese herbal remedies.  This healing works almost exclusively on the living. (following human lines, no instant healing)  There are a couple energy potions that can give a weakened vampire sufficient energy to sustain his unlife until he can feed again, but that feeding must be within 2 hours of receiving the potion.

 Weapons: Larka is proficient in both dagger and sword fighting, using two 9 inch pewter handled double edged daggers and a 3½ foot finely worked sword of Damascus steel.

She also has a set of Dragon Scale armor that conforms to her body when she puts it on.  This armor is very light but very hard, repelling physical attacks as well as fire and heat damage. (Raises defense by .25 but slows attack costing .25)

She was given a sword, called DragonSlayer, which can be used to wield lighting/energy elemental magic.  This can call down Lightning from the sky, or can be used to generate electricity and light energy in a battle.
