Name: Gitana Windfury
Species: Otter
Age: 40 Seasons
Occupation: Traveler, Fighter, Dancer
History: Gitana (gee-TAH-nah) was born into a traveling band of entertainers and spent the first part of her life with the troop. In those early seasons she learned the art of dance from her mother and the necesity of fighting from her father. Neither of these skills could have saved her from the cruel fate that befell the troop late on autumn night. A group of bandits that had been following the troop all day attacked late that night and set fire to the cart. In that one night both her family and her sight were taken from her. She was found the next morning wandering blindly around the clearing that the troop had been slaughtered in by an elderly squirrel couple. They took her in and nursed her wounds. The cart fire had left her face, arms, and hands badly burned. The burns to her face left her perminently blind but this has not slowed Gitana at all. In the 20 seasons since that fatefull night she has greatly learned to over come her disability.
Appearance: Dark brown furred except for thin patches of silver-white fur on her face, arms and hands where she was burned in the fire. Girtana wears a blue silk scarf over her eyes to hide them so to not alarm others. She also wears a tan tunic belted with a green and brown braided cord over which she wears a mottled gray cloak. She carries only one weapon, a tassled spear.
Skills: An accomplished dancer and spear beast her blindness has not diminished her skill.
Personality: Though very silent for the most part, Gitana can be quite jovial. The times that she does display her more jovial side it is heavily undertoned with a guarded nature. She is always aware that there are those who would try and exploit her disability but despite this she lives without fear.
