Personality:
Honeyhue has always been the curious type. She enjoys moving and doing things rather than perpetually sitting still and feels the need to occupy not just her mind but body, too.

A bit of a recluse during her cubhood, perhaps due to the unfortunate fates of both her parents, Honeyhue went through periods of distance and closeness to the tribe but always appreciated Wise Elk's love and support. With growing maturity she abandoned much of her previous time away from the holt and has since integrated more fully into the tribe, enjoying the contact of others of her kind and feeling more easy in the company of others.

A bright and creative young woman, Honeyhue has taken to her rock shaping magic and new-found symbol making with great enthusiasm. She has enjoyed making small trinkets of rock, although her skills are still somewhat weak and leaves her feeling tired afterwards. Otherwise she is often found dabbling in her paint pots, making colourful images upon the local canyon rock walls.

Honeyhue also greatly enjoys the young cubs, perhaps because they, like her, have a great sense of curiosity and activity. Lionheart and Beechnut's antics while growing up together have never failed to put a smile on her face and she has been known on occasion to join in their antics and be a cub again for a brief while. In recent years she has watched both blossom into full grown elves in their own rights and what was a cubsitter's watchful eye on a young boy is slowly turning to mischevious play for Lionheart, while Beachnut becomes an equal instead of a ward of the holt.

Treasures:
A small sending star-shaped jewel pendent that was her mother's. Her first rock shaped trinket shaped into the likeness of a wolf head and embedded into her sword's hilt. Her rock shaping magic and the pelt of her first wolf-friend, Thistlethorn.

History:
Honeyhue's parents Recognized at a young age but tradegy struck early only a year later when Blueflame died during a hunt; he never saw his daughter's birth. Softglare bore her daughter late on a stormy night in the boughes of her den and named her for the striking colour of the cub's hair that reminded her of her favourite sweet treat. Sadly, Softglare only enjoyed the first year of her daughter's life before joining Blueflame in the spirit realm.

The orphaned cub of only a year old was taken in by the elder Wise Elk, who himself had been raised by an adoptive father. He raised the young cub with his own daughter, Colorcast, teaching her the ways of the tribe and basic tanning principals although Honeyhue never showed a strong interest in the craft.

Always the curious type, Honeyhue spent much of your growing up years exploring the world surrounding the holt. Her love of the canyons and forests within have always called to her and she is a skilled climber of both rocks and trees, her small but strong stature giving her an advantage in navigating the smallest of rocky holes and densely foliaged boughes.

Her curiosity has also extended to other inhabitants of the canyons and unknown to the rest of the tribe, she managed to discover and befriend a few trolls, namely one by the name of Toadwart, where she spent much of her teenage years. It was through these experiences that she became a wiley player of six-sided toss stones and acquired a taste for dreamberries, particularly in the wine variety. She also picked up a good deal of troll lore in the process. In time, however, she longed for a closer bond with her own people and stopped going to the troll caves.

Her curiosity became sparked again, however, with the local humans, the Sky Singers. Again unknown to the tribe, she began to sneak out with only Thistlethorn for company to spy upon the humans at their village, watching their habits and routines and taking much interest in their sacred hut of painted symbols, particularly those depicting her people. It was here one night, having sneaked into the Sky Singer's camp and their hut of paintings that her rock shaping magic was suddenly stirred to life and left her own hand print moulded into the very wall of rock upon which she was inspecting.

Honeyhue once more began to take notice of her home in the last two years and spent time there instead of with the humans; leaving her to the mercy of her own young heart as Bowstorm brought to her a confession of his desire to lovemate at the very least. However Honeyhue's growing affections for young Lionheart tear her in two. Honeyhue and Bowstorm finally sorted their issues out, reconcilling that though she wasn't handeling things well, neither was he. The two agreed to a tenative lovemating, which of course may change or grow with Lionheart's return home.

With Lionheart's return, Honeyhue is unsure of which man has her heart still. She knows Bowstorm is sincere, but over zealous and Lionheart is free spirited like her, but is he interested?

Not currently bonded.
