Accomplishments & Achievements
Strell was most well known due to her attack at the face of the necromancer general known only as the Lord of Dusk and Bone. This was during the Elvish resistance to the necromancer's armies, and Strell's master Ysbail had reached the necromancer but was prone on the ground. The interference stopped the necromancers killing blow of black flames and allowed Ysbail to hit the Lord with a bolt of lightning, killing the dread lich. Strell was awarded the Medal of Honor for that distraction.
Beyond this it was said that Strell was far more adapt at sensing subtle magics in the land than most of her Bittac counterparts. If this was innate or because of Ysbail's magical research is unknown. Strell was found near the end of there life frequently going invisible or seeming to teleport from place to place within Ysbail's enclave, most attribute this to enchantments within her domain, though some are not quite sure. Some of this if felt by scholars to be popular cross pollination with stories of many tailed Kitsuke and a posthumous enhancement of the stories.
Her line of Raccoon Bittac descendants is highly prized among breeders and animal merchants, having its own name of Strellian Bittac. These are highly prized if they are pure Raccoon Bittac's though several mixed Strellian's are also well received on the market. Strell only had one litter of 3 kits from a male Raccoon Bittac, but had about 26 other surviving kits from other varieties.
