Name:
Almia Dainum
Gender:
Female
Age:
21
Species:
Neotropical River Otter
Personality:
Bright and friendly, Almia is very easy to get along with unless you are specifically trying to make her angry. She enjoys feasts, playing with dibbuns, almost as much as she enjoys swimming and working with her otters. Although cheerful and friendly, she isn't so much that it makes her seem like a kit or like she's an idiot. She is friendly but trust is not one of her strong points; she will treat no-one for the less because of it though, she just isn't surprised if she is betrayed or turned on.
In battle, Almia is a fierce ally and an even fiercer opponent. She knows when to be serious and can become very dangerous when it comes to protecting her otters or friends. She will not downright accuse anyone of anything, she likes to hear both sides of the story before she judges anything, and dislikes petty arguments. She doesn't often fight if the need isn't there, and because of that she makes an even more dangerous enemy because she knows how to control herself and look at the objective from a mature perspective.
Occasionally Almia tends to get nervous, especially when in an unfamiliar place or caged in somewhere and with withdraw in herself. She doesn't curl up in fright, but will remain very silent and alert, not interacting much. She is alright with it as long as she is fighting or doing something, such as when Redwall may come under siege, but when left to think about it she gets withdrawn and even snappy.
Appearance:
The typical river otter; Almia is covered in shiny and sleek, but thick, dark brown fur. Only under her neck and part of her chest is white. Her body shape is thing and sleek and she would look almost like a thick snake if she laid down flat on her stomach and tucked her webbed paws in. Her ears lie flat against her head and her whiskers bristle out around her black nose, right below her shining black eyes. Her eyes usually are glistening with some emotion, normally defined as enthusiasm or mischievousness, but sometimes danger and fierceness.
Almia carries herself tall and with elegance, sometimes mistaken as snottiness and arrogance until you get to know her. Slim, and with short paws, it is hard for her to move quickly unless she is in water. That said, she would never win a footrace that are commonly held during the Redwall feasts. She usually wears just a plain short tunic with a corded belt for stones and her dagger around her waist. Occasionally, when cold, she will opt for a tunic with a hood to cover her head.
Allegiance:
Whomever needs her help, as long as they aren't vermin. Usually Redwall. Has been known to work with the Guosim and Salamandestrom.
Weapons:
Almia carries the typical otter dagger on her side, and usually uses only that and her thick rudder-like tail as weapons. Only occasionally does she carry a sling wrapped around her fore paw and a pocket of rocks on her side next to the dagger. As skippers are required, she is also at least slightly skilled in the art of bow and arrow, clubs, battle axe, swords, and poisoning.
Position:
Skipper of the Mossguard Otters
History:
Almia grew up daughter of the Mossguard Skipper, Jett and his mate Fehlise. She was the youngest of three kits and the only female, but grew up with all the kits around her age in the clan as her siblings. When she was a young teenager, she had been out with her mother and some of the other clan females when the camp was attacked by roaming vermin.
The males and a few of the females who had stayed had managed to drive them off, but not without a cost. Almia's father had been severely wounded and her brother who had been expected to succeed her father had been killed. With her father unable to remain Skipper, Almia's mother had taken over from there and run the clan with what leadership skills she did have with the help from some of the other males. Almia's next brother had no desire to take over Skipper and instead settled down with his own mate and kits. Fehlise searched through the males for a new Skipper, but all of them were either too young, lacked necessary qualities, or were happy to remain as they were.
Working next to her mother, Almia quickly learned what was necessary to become Skipper but never thought about becoming Skipper herself; it was very rare for a female to do so. But when her mother became ill after her father finally passed on, Almia found herself taking over the role of the Skipper and was surprised with the rest of the Mossguard otters accepted her as her Skipper. Skipper of the Mossguard she has remained until this day.
