Waina Steertail was born to a rare family of beastmen that were rarely seen in their community. Her mother was a fox-folk and her father was a human, which made Waina a half-beast. She inherited her mother's bushy tail and furry ears, which gave her an exotic appearance that caught the attention of many.
Growing up, Waina was raised by her mother and grandmother in a secluded area in the forest. They taught her the ways of the fox-folk and how to hunt for her own food. Waina was a curious and adventurous child, always exploring the woods and discovering new things about her surroundings.
As she reached adulthood, Waina decided to leave her hermit lifestyle to explore the world beyond the forest. She became a skilled hunter and traveler, often selling her catch to earn a living. Waina also developed her talents in singing and playing the flute.
Waina's only companion is her pet fox, named Riku. They grew up together and developed a close bond over the years. Riku would often accompany Waina on her travels and share the bounty of their hunts.
Despite her friendly nature, Waina never found a mate that she was truly interested in. She values her freedom too much to be tied down to a committed relationship.
Waina's philosophy on life is to live in harmony with nature and to always follow her heart. She believed that every living being deserved respect and kindness, no matter their species or race.
Waina's weapon of choice is a bow and arrow, which she had learned to master over the years. She was able to shoot her targets with deadly accuracy, using her keen eyesight and agility to her advantage.
Waina had a habit of twitching her nose whenever she was deep in thought or nervous. It was a subtle gesture that her friends had grown fond of.
Under her carefree demeanor, Waina harbored a deep fear of being rejected by her fellow beastmen because of her human heritage. She put on a brave front, but the thought of being an outcast from her own kind haunted her.
Waina's ultimate dream is to explore every corner of the world and discover new creatures and cultures along the way. She hopes to one day write a book about her adventures, to share her stories with others. Her famous quote is "Nature is my guide, and my heart is my compass."
Waina had a complicated relationship with her father, who had left her mother before she was born. She had never met him, and the topic of her father was a sensitive subject that she rarely spoke about.
Waina's symbol is a fox curled up, with a small arrow piercing through its heart. It represented her love for nature, her affinity for hunting and her free-spirited nature.
