Reposting these since they were lost in the Great Kerfluffle!
Name: Riverstream Wildlough
Species: Otter
Gender: Female
Dibbun Weapon: Wooden sword and an odd assortment of projectiles, including pebbles, twigs, and random knick-knacks collected from the Abbey Grounds. Riv is not overly particular about or protective of her personal weapons; she often misplaces them and ends up improvising with whatever is available in the moment.
Adult Weapon: TBD
Appearance: As a dibbun, Riv stands nearly half a head shorter than most of her peers, although with a slender but strong build that prevents her from appearing diminutive or frail. As she grows older, she becomes stockier, but to her bitter disappointment never gains much height. Her dark, chocolate-brown fur is highlighted by streaks of a lighter, sandier color that appear most prominently in direct sunlight. Wide green eyes, always sparkling with a glint of energy, are the most captivating feature of her face – second only to her uneven whiskers, which stick out at odd angles, giving her an appearance of eccentricity to compliment the wide, friendly smile that graces her face.
Due to some combination of her natural enthusiasm and her height disadvantage, she is almost always balanced on tip-paw, leaning forward as though ready to spring into action at any moment. She can typically be seen bouncing energetically around, with a gait that resembles skipping rather than walking. Riv deliberately prefers to cultivate a messy, unkempt look – she cares little about appearances to begin with, and tends to exaggerate this by wearing nondescript, torn or wrinkled habits and forsaking shoes at every opportunity. Although she would never admit to having a favorite color, most of her clothing choices are bright green or purple.
Personality: Riv packs a lot of personality into her small frame. She is rambunctious, spontaneous to a fault, and radiates a nearly constant, bright and exuberant energy that makes her a compelling presence in any crowd. Behind her bright and friendly exterior, however, Riv’s true natural energy comes from an unrelenting drive for perfection and achievement; although she enjoys moments of scatterbrained and lackadaisical behavior, her real enthusiasm comes from a manic internal energy rather than from a bubbly, social extroverted drive. Accordingly, she is happy and easygoing until her competitive side is provoked – then she becomes obstinately stubborn and proud. Although she longs to appear carefree, Riv hates to be proven wrong and regards any loss of face as a grave and deeply wounding insult; as such, she rarely forgets an insult and has a penchant for grudges and long-lasting rivalries.
Riv is gleefully and outspokenly anti-establishment, with a natural scorn for authority and a love for causing chaos which contradicts her own subconscious desire for control and organization. These conflicting drives serve her well during her time in DAB leadership, where she has the best times of her life leading and managing the wild and chaotic organization, reveling in both the order and the madness. Through leadership, Riv also slowly and grudgingly learns to consider the viewpoints of others and cultivate a sense of empathy for conflicting perspectives. As she grows older, Riv comes to believe in the inherent goodness of her fellow creatures, becoming a loyal friend and a good listener in the relationships that she cultivates over time. Although in maturity she learns to temper and balance her energies, Riv never loses her natural spontaneity and always acknowledges her wild, fun-loving side.
