Backstory

Most of Namoori's past is a mystery, and she likes to keep it that way for a reason. She once lived among the Gerudo of the desert, but unlike the others, possessed very little skill with a sword. In fact, she tended to hurt herself more than the enemy. As a result, the others gradually lost all respect for her... And so she decided to pursue a very different form of combat. Magic.

Finding an old sorceress among her people, Namoori begged the woman to teach her all that she knew. At last, the woman agreed, teaching the girl to wield a terrible, dark power that few others had ever been able to control...

It wasn't long before Namoori also learned why the art was so rare among the Gerudo...

She couldn't control it either.

The abilities began to feed off the girl's emotions... The more negative her mood, the stronger and more unpredictable the flames became. The hungrier they became.......

And so, one day... She lost control in a spat with another Gerudo, flames rising, higher and higher and higher into the night sky... Namoori remembered only that when she awoke, it was to a landscape of ash and dust.

Horrified by what she had done, the girl fled the desert, never to return.

During her travels, Namoori found a cavern filled with treasures, the most beautiful being a large, rounded, red and brown gem. She took the object with her... Only to be stunned when, just a few days later, it began to MOVE and cracks formed in the surface... It wasn't a gem at all, but a DRAGON EGG. Amazed by this surprising revelation, Namoori decided to keep the small creature and name him 'Rigoro.' The small dragon has been her inseparable partner ever since.

And so, now Namoori wanders with Rigoro as her only company, slowly but surely corrupted by the dark magic she procured all those years ago...

Searching for a PURPOSE in this vast land, watched by the silent Goddesses...

For what is the use of power...

If there is nothing one can DO with it?


Personality

Namoori is very much a loner, and generally only likes Rigoro for company. She can come across as extremely bitter and will often respond to even the kindest words with sarcasm and biting cruelty. However, prolonged kindness can gradually earn her trust. She simply has a lot of trouble seeing the best in others, hence her hateful attitude towards strangers. In truth, she can actually be very lonely at times, and often feels as though her only purpose in life is just surviving. It is not until others earn her trust that she will begin to show any measure of selflessness in their direction. Namoori also has quite a stubborn streak, and will frequently choose a course of action just because others believe she can't. As a result, reverse psychology works stunningly well on her.


Strengths

Namoori possesses potent fire magic, which becomes stronger but more unstable in response to her emotional state. She can also summon fire keese with this same magic, though this is somewhat more difficult for her.


Weaknesses

Namoori has an EXTREMELY short temper, which only serves to make her flames more difficult to control. Moisture weakens her flames, and she doesn't particularly ENJOY wet places either, having grown up in the arid desert. The gerudo is also extremely proud and arrogant, often disregarding the advice of others and just doing what she wants. This attitude can get her into a LOT of trouble...


Pet

Namoori's pet is a dragon named Rigoro, which is about the size of a cat currently. Eventually he will grow to be about the size of a horse. His overall coloring is dark maroon, and he has red eyes and reddish-brown horns. Rigoro acts a bit like a cat, but can be very playful, and is generally very friendly. However, he is very quick to protect his master. Unused to people other than Namoori, he can be very skittish around strangers, but does possess a remarkable ability to pick out people with good hearts. Rigoro is also the only one who can calm Namoori down when she is raging, preventing her from losing control of her powers.

This dude just keeps getting lost. Oh well, maybe his band members went on a bad trip and ended up in the hot desert? Wait, why was he even in the desert? Why did he know what a desert was? Who knows.
At the moment, Namoori was shielding herself from the hot noon-time sun in the shadow of a good-sized spire of stone. She had meant to head towards the rest of civilization today, but had managed to mis-calculate and wind up stranded. One would think a girl who had lived her whole life in the desert would know better, but who knows?

Her first sign that someone else was drawing near was when Rigoro, the little pet dragon that had been snoozing beside her only the moment before, suddenly jumped to his feet and looked into the desert.

"What is it, you silly thing?" She chided, though she did follow his gaze. Sure enough, wandering out in the middle of the scorching heat was a ZORA of all things. What was THAT doing out here? What with them being a race so reliant on water, she couldn't imagine what a zora would be doing in the most parched part of the world.

But she didn't feel like moving, so she just yelled at him.
"Hey! Are you lost over there?" Kind of a dumb question sure, but Namoori didn't much care. If he brought it up, she could always chuck a fireball or two. Gee, how nice.
A silver haired man stood just outside of a massive expanse of forest. he had just exited after setting up his little camp when he encounetered a Gerudo girl, far from the fortress. At first thaought he prepped a throwing knife hidden in his mechanical arm. "Who are you. What do you want?"
Namoori hadn't even noticed the guy until he spoke, and was so startled she instinctively started summoning fire to her hand for defense. Her little pet dragon Rigoro made a frightened little squeak at the sight of him and hid behind her, annoying her further. Who did this guy think he was, sneaking up on her then demanding to know who she was and what she wanted?! But Namoori decided to do the smart thing and restrain herself, despite how tempting it was to fling the fireball in her hand at him.
"The name's Namoori, and I'm just a travelling sorcoress, if you have to know. And my pal here is Rigoro." She gave a quick gesture at the cat-sized marron dragon cowering behind her before continuing. "Now, my turn. Who are YOU?"

(( Just to warn you, I'm technically still on semi-hiatus, so I dunno how often I'll be able to reply. Sometimes I might manage a couple inbox checks a day, others I might not get on at all. ^^; ))
"My name is Arawn. I am a travelling mercenary. I am looking to recruit talented individuals to my group, Heaven's Claw. Since you are a sorceress, You seem to be just the kind of individual I am looking for. I have one mage already but.. he's not exactly the most motivated. Also, There is a war coming and safety in numbers is always a factor. Would you consider joining us?" he extended an unarmed hand in friendship, his left hand, the mechanical one. Crude but effective, he had managed to modify it just to better be able to survive.

(It's alright. I'm very patient)
"...." Namoori was quiet for a moment. Truthfully, she wasn't sure she trusted this Arawn guy. Finally she decided to just ask a few questions beforehand. "This war you're talking about... This is the same one I heard that Ganon's starting, I'm guessing?"
