Gaelica

[[-Kay-]]

Name: Gaelica
Age: 4
Race: Kelpie
Occupation: Wanderer
Allegiance: None
Physical Description: A large silver based frame with white splashes across her hide. She has a long, thick white mane and a tail to match. She is a bit of an anomaly among her kind, being of two colors, rather than solid black or white. Her mane is constantly dripping and her skin is like a seal's, smooth and able to wick away water. Unlike other Kelpies though, she can regulate her body temperature, fluctuating from warm to cold as death. She has feathering that comes down from her knees, that too dripping like her mane and tail. There are various shades of green streaks under her mane and tail and in her leg feathering, a dark olive green that appears to be almost a grey. That color matches her eyes, which are that same olive green with a reflective silver behind it.
Personality: Gaelica, as most would say, is crazy. She cannot focus for more than twenty minutes at a time, and is rather....ditzy one could say. She is easily distractable and as such, isn't much one for trying to figure out riddles and such; even though she gives out riddles quite frequently. Most kelpies eat people and lure them into the river, but she prefers to eat plants; though she's not against eating people one bit. She can be skittish, not exactly trusting many, though she isn't exactly anti-social either. One would just say she's a bit...strange. Many avoid her as she babbles away about nothings, things that don't even exist. She's a very gentle creature, and very maternal as well, having taken care of many orphaned fawns. She's got a very drawing personality to her, attracting those around her. That and with her appearance. She's never been to a city before, and as such, doesn't even know about the outside world. She's only ever known her little section of forest.
History: Gaelica was born in the Spine. As a foal, she was raised by her mother; a Kelpie, who didn't survive more than a month past the time the young filly was weaned. Gaelica raised herself after that, thinking that her mother had simply gone away for a little while to scout. In reality, Gaelica's mother was eaten by a dragon that still inhabited the Spine until it died. The little filly never strayed very far from the river where she had been raised, a place that travelers frequented. She is part of the reason that the Spine is rarely traveled.

Gaelica, by default of being a Kelpie, ate people whenever they came by. She would lure them into the water, using her mind to sooth them as she got them to go towards the middle of the water...that's when she would drown them and eat them. She only ate those who came by, never searching for people to eat. After all, she preferred eating grasses and watercress and the like. She lured many travelers into the water in the three years that passed since her mother left her where she was.

She learned to speak from her mother as a youngling. Her mother told her it would be a useful tool, as not all the creatures she would lure could hear her in their mind. She can speak to all manner of creatures, preferring to use her mind other than her maw. After all, horses that can speak would freak out alot of people. She still hasn't left the river, however, preferring her quiet solitude; even though she gets quite lonely at times...
