PTSD: The rockslide caused PTSD. It has not really had a chance to show its ugly head, but any earthquakes or rumbling of future rockslides or even avalanches will trigger a panic attack. She will be completely incapacitated by the panic and be unable to fend for herself. This has also caused severe claustrophobia and a fear of the dark.

Claustrophobia and fear of the dark: After the rock slide, Lini has had a hard time with being in the dark, especially when she's alone. The light is always on in her room though no one knows why. She has never told anyone just how much she fears the dark and being in a small room. Even her own room has felt too small at times, but the lamps and candles make it feel more open. If someone were to extinguish the candles or lamps while she slept, she'd wake in a panic. So far, that hasn't happened yet.
OOC Note: Lini has not, to date, discussed this phobia with anyone, not even Hida. She has not had anyone in her own room for furring, nor has she shared her room with anyone. She has not loaned her room out to visitors, simply because it is the only way she can ensure that a light is always on and it never becomes dark.

[&]History: In the dead of winter, a violent and long-lasting blizzard took place. It lasted nearly two hands in days and nights, and it was impossible to see beyond one's speartip when extended. This was the world in which Lini was to be born. Youngest of three fawns to her father and second to her mother, Lini had a great foundation. Little did any of the Starchaser Go-Backs know this was the first in a series of harsh winters.

The tribe was a nomadic one. Staying when game was plentiful and moving on to follow the herds or when other threats gave them reason to leave. When she was 15 years old, the harsh winters broke and the tribe moved on. They would soon encounter a band of wolfriders, and after a night of festivities, several pairs recognized and the two groups decided to merge rather than separate the new lifemates. So began the Starchasers as a combined tribe of Wolfriders and Go-Backs.

Life was relatively easy for the nomadic tribe from that point on. Mostly. In 111 A.S. humans began to encroach on where the nomadic tribe had set up camp. After leaving the valley and heading higher into the mountains, they camped at a small cave. Trolls attacked. The tribe scattered as their numbers began to fall. Lini and nine others had managed to escape into the woods and as night fell, they tried sending for survivors but with no responses, they continued on, deciding it wasn't worth a second attack to return. They had to move forward and find a new place to live. During that time, Tyme, one of the survivors, decided to wander away on his own. 

Now, the rains came relentlessly as the small band, now having dwindled to six as three were lost over the last two years, began to move up into the mountains following a herd of elk. Leaf fall was here and it was getting colder. Needing the hides to set a winter camp, the band followed them along a narrow, winding pass. Lini moved farther up the pass to set up a camp for the night with two others, Hida and Saren while the remaining three, Sage, Elka, and Joren went on the hunt. The camp was nearly completed when the quiet was broken by the sound of cracking stone. Despite the warning there was no time to react as the weakened mountainside came tumbling down on the Elves below. 

It has been a few years since she arrived in the lodge. There has been no sign of the others that had been with her and Hida, though they did reconnect with Tyme and have recently learned another Starchaser had survived the attack. Tenderleaf came to the mountain with the Wolfriders. 

[&]Often seen wearing: On warmer days, simply wearing a blue-dyed soft leather sleeveless shirt, dark grey dyed leather pants and leather boots. On colder days, her pants are tucked into mid-shin high leather boots, lined with white ravvit fur. Her coat is furlined, with white ravvit fur around the collar and ravvit tails for the drawstrings of her hood.

[&]Body: Her skin is light with a slight, barely noticeable tan to it, smoothe, and otherwise average. She has one scar on her side which was not far from piercing her lung but instead missed entirely and the broken branch that made it went between two ribs and got nothing but flesh.

[&]Height/Build: Her frame is small, just as her stature. She stands at 3'8" and a healthy thin build. Her muscles are toned though not overly defined. While small, she definitely can pack a bite, however.
[&]Hair: Dark brown and kept short to just above shoulder length.
[&]Eyes: Emerald Green
