Thread: Riding Wolf (Aise & archonxeno)

img300x400 Name Rina 'Grendall' Scarlett Age 21 Female Height 5'4 162 cm Golden Blonde hair Cerulean Blue eyes A frustrated sigh escaped from the young girls lips as she fondly ran her fingertips her third trap. A snatch-up net that would leave her prey struggling several feet in the air might seem traditionally simple, but as far as Rina was concerned it was much more effective than the bear-traps her fellow huntsmen left lying around. Rina might not have much respect for the intelligence of woodland animals, but she found it extremely difficult to believe that even a dimwitted wolf would stick their foot inbetween a steel pair of spikes laying around unnaturally, and sticking out like a sore thumb in the woods. Rina like her renowned father was a hunter or at least she liked to consider herself one, even if her father disapproved, and her fellow villagers mocked her ridiculous dreams. She might not be as strong as most men, but shed proved her skill with the bow countless times during village festivals, and strength was a pretty insignificant factor if you could shoot down your prey from a safe distance. Covering her trap with the leaves shed gathered, her bright cerulean eyes looked down and made the final touches to her trap. Brushing the leaves around to look more natural, before casually tossing half of her lunch ontop the remainder of a simple sandwich filled with juicy slices of lamb, and a thick coating of homemade sauce that Rinas mother had developed prior to passing away. A closely guarded family recipe, which shed promised to pass down to her own kids if she were ever to find the right man. The thought immediately caused her to scowl with discontent. Countless faces unappealingly flashing through her mind. Ever since shed come of age, shed been constantly hounded by the men of the village. Persistently proposed to by men she barely knew, and chastised by elderly women who reminded her of home-making responsibilities, the village had increasingly become a difficult place to relax, which ironically had led to Rina spending more time in the wild, in-turn strengthening her aspirations to become a hunter Of course, she couldnt tell her father that. And although she was armed with a quiver and bow, several flasks, and a short hunters knife, she was actually supposed to be undertaking an errand to the neighbouring village where her grandmother resided. The long-winded journey would have taken half a day had she traversed the main-road like everyone believed, but taking a shortcut through the woods meant that she could cut that time down to half, and spend the remainder planting traps throughout the woods. Sighing loudly to herself, she brushed the sweat off her forehead, nodding her head approvingly as she pushed her golden strands off to the side. Unfortunately her time here was up, as the ray of light piercing through the thick canopy of leaves overhead indicated that shed perhaps become a bit too engrossed in her trap setting. Picking up the basket of goodies shed set of too the side, she paused one last time. Looking back towards the general direction of where her other traps had been set. With any luck shed be able to capture something worthwhile. A deer would be wonderful, while a rabbit would suffice. A wolf? Well, a girl could dream, right?
