• Sanguine

Appearance: Dark brown fur adorned with various tribal tattoos. Wears a criss-cross slung top, veil and loincloth. Carries several pouches and belts containing magical ingredients, poisons and fetishes. Adorns herself with armbands and necklace with feathers, beads and animal teeth.

Personality: Sanguine is jaded and of the belief that bun society is unfair to her kind. Having been exploited by her rex father, she has difficulty trusting others. Without a culture of her own besides the heavily skewed tribal vulp one thrust upon her, she wholeheartedly embraces it and takes it serious no matter how offensive or misguided it may seem to bun or vulp.

Background: Sanguine’s parents were vulp exiles living in Deslov. Her mother was rumoured to have been banished from her tribe for consorting with evil spirits, and her father was in heavy debt to a loanshark. They were coerced into selling their only cub by the moneylender to the slum’s crime lord, a crowned rex who had taken an interest in voxen magic. Sanguine would later learn that her parents had once again ended up in debt, were evicted from their home, and found dead in the streets.

Raised by her adoptive father to become an enforcer for his gang, he took advantage of her youth, psychological manipulation and magic geases to bind Sanguine to his will. He taught her in the school of illusion, and provided the means for her to learn of poisons and blood magic. Molding her into the stereotypical savage image of a vulp tribal to strike fear into underlings, enemies and citizens alike, and grow his criminal empire.

But the rapid rise in prominence attracted the wrong attention, and the adoptive father and daughter duo was captured in a raid by the city guards, who had begun to take notice. Although Sanguine’s lips remained sealed even under torture and threat of execution due to the magical compulsions, the moment her master breathed his last breath at the end of a rope she immediately admitted her wrongs, claimed to have acted under geas, and demanded a retrial. Because her defence was plausible and easily proven, and she gave key testimony of the gang’s activities, her sentence was reduced from hanging to a few years of punitive labour.

Still, Sanguine believed the justice system had been cruel and bigoted towards her, as she had no free will to refuse her life of crime and shouldn’t have been punished. The city inhabitants were also unsympathetic to her claims of reform, and the criminal underworld likewise suspicious now. She left for the city of Khoms to start over, but found none of her skills marketable in any legal capacity, and recidivated, joining the Black Briar thieves guild working as a mercenary.
