[&]History: LionSpine led an easy life at Broken Mountain. From an early age that he found himself drawn more to the warm and vibrantly colored coral reefs at the foot of Broken Mountain, basking day by day in the tropical waters with his mother and father. It was from them that he learned the art of spear fishing, net weaving, coral tending and keeping, and the lives of the many varieties of the colorful, darting fish that lived among the coral reefs and in the freezing Northern waters his mother only ever talked about. Never one to venture out into the deeper, darker parts of the ocean around him, he spent many, many a happy year in this fashion, seeming to prefer the life of the reef than that of other elves. Indeed, many at Broken Mountain knew his face or name, and sometimes neither.
It was nearing his two hundredth passing of the seasons, though, that the land beyond the shoreline would begin to call to his curiosity, a danger if there ever was one. Binding his fins and feet so that they would not be injured on any trek, he found himself venturing further and further each day into the wilds beyond the shore, avoiding humans as was told to him by his parents and elders. Armed with a spear of shaped and hardened coral that had long since been dead, he took to scouting the lands as well as the waters, though he made sure to never stray too far from the shorelines or his kin.
Still his curiosity about humans was not sated, and it was to the deeply sunken shipwrecks far from the safety of his coral reefs he found more questions than answers. Despite the dangers of lurking daggerteeth and trap rigged ship hulls, he found the form and possible functions of whatever left over human made items he could find to his interest. Despite the secrecy he tried to keep, it was Crest, a young, adventurous and overly insatiable young elf that would find out his secret ventures and eventually follow him to his own disgruntlement. Risking his life was one thing, but risking hers was another. Still, she would not be dissuaded. Taking it upon himself to be her self appointed warden, Lionspine taught her the secrets of the shipwrecks, the fast paced life of the reefs and the way of the spear in and out of water. To satisfy her curiosity as well as amuse himself, he became her teacher through trick and tales, teaching her through hard earned and hard learned mistakes. She seemed to be one of the few able to drag him out of his solitude, and one elf in current days that can break through his placidity and draw out a laugh.
So it was that when she chose to leave Broken Mountain for far away waters, he left with her as his ties to his father and mother had long been weakening or had severed altogether. She had been his responsibility for so long, a sister in heart as well as a student, that he left for New Cove with little more than a bag holding what small yet valuable possessions he owned.
Recently: His time spent at the New Cove upon arrival was a short one, long enough to meet the few new faces and settle into a cave. As soon as the news that a party of Wavedancers were leaving to seek aid from the Wolfriders, a smaller forest kin of theirs, he set out with the party in order to gather information and learning to take back to the cove when the Whitecold came.
Despite his lack of social graces, he soon made friends with Tenderleaf , Sweetpetal and Vixen who in turn took him under wind to teach him what he could learn about life in the forest. He is learning quickly, adapting to the forest with surprising ease because of his life and hobby of trekking through the thick evergreen of Broken Mountain.
Vixen has been his near constant companion during his time with the Wolfriders, and his affection for her has started to evolve into something greater.
[&]Most Often Seen Wearing:
At the Cove:Coral red pants that fall loosely around his legs and cuff at the knees, slit at the side to allow water to flow through as he swims. A loose vest of a gauzy cream fabric drapes around his chest, unbuttoned and unadorned. Around his upper arms are tightly wrapped bands of preserved sharks hide decorated in small sea shells and bone beads. Around his neck is a many looping string of Freshwater pearls, a much smaller and manageable version of the much heavier and longer strand of pearls he'd been collecting every year of his life. The longer strand has been gifted to Spraysong for use.
On Land: Much the same as his ocean wear, but his lower arms, feet and calves are wrapped in leather in makeshift boots to protect his limb fins.
In the Holt: Brown leather pants, knee high lace up boots and a long sleeved shirt laced in the front specially made for him by Vixen.
During Whitecold: A tightly bound leather vest, the collar laced in black fur. A sleeveless shirt of heavier material. Fur lined bracers wrap around his lower arms as well that go with his brown leather pants and knee high boots.
[&]Body: Slightly tanned. Fins that fan out when in water and fold down flat on land have been shaped into his lower arms and calves, only slightly darker in tone than his body.
[&]Height/Build: 5'4" Stocky in build yet exceptionally agile for his size
[&]Hair: A bright, curly copper auburn, kept short in the front and kept behind him in a braid that falls only to the middle of his back. He rarely lets this down, excepting when other people unbraid it for him.
[&]Eyes: Pale brown
[&]Facial Features : Lionspine has perfected the "poker face" over his many years of life. Often, his expression is best described as 'placid' and or sometimes 'bored'. Only the smallest lift of his brow or twitch of his mouth might betray his emotions.
He has been learning to smile more as he spends time with the wolfriders, though his podmates are currently not experiencing it on the same frequency as the Holt elves.
