Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Henge is slight, lithe, and muted in tone. Much of his prowess stems from being too small to worry about, until he is already within striking distance.

Body Features

The rogue has sandy colored, tan fur which is thick, but sleek. His ears are usually folded down, falling midway along his back. He wears dark leather armor that fits snugly to his form, complete with greaves and vambraces, but keeps his hindfeet unshod and his forepaws ungloved.

Facial Features

Henge has long whiskers and dark, almond-shaped eyes.

Identifying Characteristics

Though he wears the uniform of his warriors and has fur the color of many of his kin, Henge always wears a distinctive forest green scarf that trails behind him as he runs.

Physical quirks

Instinctively accustomed to evasive maneuvers, Henge often runs in a zigzag pattern even when a straight line to his destination would be most expedient.

Apparel & Accessories

Aside from the dark boiled leather of his armor, and his token green scarf, the rogue carries a hornbow and a satchel.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

As larger intelligent species began to settle in the Laurelglow Region, the peaceful Harengon were displaced, forced deeper into the wild places.

Sexuality

Henge is heterosexual.

Education

Henge was raised in a close-knit community which valued education. Books were highly prized among his people and he has a breadth of knowledge among a wide variety of topics as a result.

Employment

As a member of the resistance, Henge has little opportunity for traditional employment. He does run a brisk trade selling property seized from the group's targets when he occasionally visits a settlement.

Mental Trauma

Henge and his brother Katanga lost their father when they were both very young to pillagers. Their mother has taken ill, but is cared for by their nomadic community. This instills a certain amount of desperation into their activities and both share anxiety that something will happen to the other, leaving them alone.

Intellectual Characteristics

Henge's community has been pushed out of their homeland by settlers. He intends to recover what was taken from them.

Religious Views

While Katanga is a particularly devout follower of the True Path, Henge has grown disiluusioned with the fairth, and believes only a pragmatic approach to problems will save his people.

Social Aptitude

Mannerisms

Henge has a tendency to tap his foot quickly and rhythmically when nervous or impatient.

Hobbies & Pets

Henge collects wildflowers to pass the time, valueing any varieties he has yet to encounter.

Speech

Henge tends to speak with a metered cadence, as though he's quoting something or reciting poetry, even if that is rarely the case.

Wealth & Financial state

What little extra coin Henge manages to acquire goes directly into feeding and sheltering his people.

A flash of tan fur and dark leather expertly crafted to match the autumnal underbrush are the hallmarks of this half of the lagomorphic larcenists.
