OOC ASSUMPTIONS!

Salsola members may assume and reference the following without discussion/asking:

  • Seeing Jalda in the tree of Loki's yard, in the wooded parts of The Ruins, or the outskirts of the forest -- almost always accompanying Embla.
  • Jalda shyly running away from your character if spotted, or peering at them warily from a tree.

1.  Appearance


Jalda (front) and her brother Lykill (back)

Jalda is a small gray fox, with a runty stature and tiny muzzle and proportionally large, dark eyes. Her coloration is typical for a gray fox, with grizzled-gray upper parts, tan accents, and white markings on her underside. If anything, the tan parts of her coat reach a little farther than normal, and there is heavier dark accenting (the common fox "ticks") on her little muzzle.

2.  Personality

Jalda is a sweet, curious, and empathetic creature -- but very wary and shy around strangers, which is practically anyone outside her "immediate family." She seems to demonstrate selective mutism, and refuses to speak to most even to the detriment of herself and others. Even with her closest companions, she says only what needs to be said and uses as few words as possible.

2.1  Skills & Abilities

  • Jalda is very empathetic, quick to pick up on the moods of others -- especially Embla.
  • She is an accomplished hunter and a good "finder," with an eye for detail.
  • Like others of her species, she is adept at climbing trees.

2.2  Likes & Dislikes

  • Adores Embla and is immensely protective of her.
  • Likes collecting things like feathers, pebbles, trinkets.
  • Dislikes strangers, violence, and the unknown.

3.  History

  • Jalda and her brother Lykill were orphaned shortly after the Spring Sickness. They were found and taken in by Stjarna Helsi.
  • When Ask and Embla were born, the fox kits helped in raising the little pups. Jalda in particular seemed to sense that Embla needed a little extra care due to her weak vision, and bonded with the girl.
  • Ask's kidnapping reinforced Jalda's fear of strangers and made her more protective of Embla, refusing to leave the puppy's side.
