Miki is a character in the Here be Dragons campaign.

## Appearance

Miki wears a solid, adamantine breastplate over her thick fabric clothing. She has green skin, bright yellow eyes and brown hair that is typically bound back tightly by a golden ribbon. Two prominent scars mar the once elegant features of her face - one across her left eye and another across her nose, which looks to have been previously broken and healed. On the back of her neck she bears the mark of her order in white ink and is only visible when she removes her fur mantle. Her tusks are small, but obvious against her upper lip. Her lithe frame and petite stature belies the strength she displays in battle.

### Lycanthrope form

An enormous polar beast, one that maintains the same basic armor that is specifically made for such a dramatic change in body. The shift is often short, but uncomfortable to watch as vibrant white fur covers the scarred muzzle that sits below sharp, intelligent eyes as the rest of her body shifts and elongates to suit the needs of the beastial spirit that inhabits her.

## Personality

Miki can generally be considered a strong-willed, resilient individual due to her unconventional upbringing in an orc stronghold. She is cold and aloof to those she does not consider friends and is oftentimes skeptical when it comes to the intentions of those around her, however, once her trust is obtained she is fiercely loyal and protective of those in her inner circle.

Driven is also one of the many words that can be used to accurately describe the quick-tempered half-orc, though the aspects of her life that have shaped such a facet are seemingly unknown to even those who consider themselves close to her. That said, it is obvious that she operates on a neutral system of judgement - fluctuating between good and evil in equal measures as she acts under a strict personal code.

## Early History

Born in Radan-baz, one of the four orc strongholds in Tenorath and one of the last to uphold traditional values and ideologies that promoted the continuation of the pure-blooded orc race and the belief that mixing or contaminating that blood was a grave offence against the Gods. However, this place, with all it's flaws was the home village of her mother, Voltha, the bloodletter who used those very laws to seek refuge within the walls of the stronghold. To her, it seemed like the safest place to raise her unborn child.

Much of her early childhood was spent isolated, her existence ignored by those that knew exactly what she was. It wasn't until her formative years that she realized exactly what that meant - she was different, seen as lesser than those around her and needless to say, she developed quite the chip on her shoulder as a result. She became competitive, sparring with the children of the village - her goal - To prove she was just as strong as any full blooded orc? No, she was better than any pure blood they put in front of her. These bouts often ended in her being dragged back to her mother bruised, bloodied and perhaps missing a few teeth. Voltha, for her part did her best to keep Miki out of trouble as she attempted to create some semblance of normalcy for her daughter.

Unfortunately, whatever illusion she had created around their lives could only last for so long as the looming shadow of the rite ever darkened their door. The rite, in orc culture is the coming of age (10 years old) for those of strong will and pure blood - a challenge, one that was denied to her by default. In turn, she challenged the decision and stood her ground in the face of the hierarchy that deemed her a foul-blood and a blight on the purity of their race. As such, she was given the highest punishment for speaking out against them -- thirty lashes, a process that was dragged out into the late hours of the night. Afterwards, her limp, bloodied body was thrown out into the snowstorm and she had no doubt that they had intended for her to die that night as she clawed her way through the darkness to the outskirts of the village and from there, she ran.
