Role Play

Personality:
Foxears is a brash and excitable elf who loves getting himself in and out of trouble. He is adventurous, and he doesn't always think things through before he acts, but he has an inborn sense of danger that keeps him from harm. He sees himself as a helpless trouble maker and is not averse to eating a little humble pie when his antics go awry. He's very friendly and enjoys including others in his games. Foxears has strong convictions and faith in others, and he always keeps his word.

Treasures:
Troll-made dagger, given to him by Nettle after his return.

History:
Foxears led a fun filled childhood with Lark in tow. He never much took adult business seriously, and was only successful with his lessons under his father's tutelage. It was in fact during his first hunt that his adeptness at tracking earned him his adult name, given to him by his First Hunt Supervisor. He was charming and flirtatious, but reserved most of his attentions for Lark.

After Lark's soul quest, Foxears and Nettle struck up a curious friendship. The boisterous and stoic elves would talk, sitting for hours under the stars. On more than one occasion, they would leave Lark to her own devices when they went off on an adventure. It wasn't until much later, when Foxears began to feel a strange stirring in his soul that the friendship began to sour.

Foxears felt the call of Recognition long before Lark, and as his frustrations and longings built up, he started seeing Nettle as an obstacle to her love. Foxears felt that Lark was denying Recognition in favour of Nettle. Almost overnight, the friendly elf turned belligerent and possessive. Small quarrels turned into full blown brawls, and Foxears removed himself to the edge of the Holt.

Lark came in search of her friend, but instead found herself Recognized to someone she didn't know. Nettle challenged Foxears. Foxears was weakened by denied Recognition, but Lark ran to him and stopped the fight. Nettle, believing he'd lost her forever, left Rushwater Holt.

After satisfying the demands of Recognition, Lark denied Foxears claim on her and blamed him for Nettle's leaving. Foxears regretted his earlier actions, and upon Nettle's return, extended his hand in friendship. Lark was far more difficult to convince, but with Tendril so obviously delighted with the idea of having two fathers, Lark found it impossible to maintain her anger. The lifemates have since been reunited.

Many turns ago Foxears suffered an attack on himself by Land Loper humans while out tracking with the Hunt. He was lucky in that his tribesmates were able to turn the humans aside, especially once his young daughter Tendril ran into the clearing and her plant shaping magic burst forth for the first time, causing the surrounding trees to grab at the fear-stricken humans. He recovered well and was very pleased at his cub's discovery of the magic within herself. He carved her a special wolf-headed walking staff in honour of this event and has since encouraged her to grow up into adulthood, something his lifemate Lark hasn't particularly enjoyed.

A recent battle of tricks between Foxears and Bowstorm resulted in a friendship developing between the two of them. At first he was unsure of what to do with his new role as an older 'brother' but he soon settled into the role and counts Bowstorm as a close friend. If he has a trick in mind, he will often obtain Bowstorm's help in pulling the trick off. This has opened up even more possibilities for the two tricksters to play jokes on their fellow elves.
