Ketu Female - Malayan Water Monitor - Traveling ScribeANGEL |
APPEARANCE
At six foot from nose to tail tip, Ketu is a huge lizard. However, her length transcends her width, in that her neck and tail make up most of her body. Along her ivory-scaled body, are pale yellow bands of spots, which lie closer together on her tail. On the side of her neck are two fist-sized yellow spots. Red eyes, that despite their color, are quite gentle. Flicks her pinkish tongue often. The halo above her head is of a watery shade of blue. Her wings are large and strong, and bear the same color. Carries a leather satchel strapped over her shoulders.
PERSONALITY
The embodiment of patience and self-control, Ketu feels everyone could benefit from slowing down in their new lives. Calm and warm by nature, she welcomes almost any and all company so long as they are peaceful. She is eager to help anyone that comes her way. She will wander just about anywhere, so long as there are others to meet. Abides by a specific standard of rules for herself, but does not hold others to them. Disapproving of the violence that has taken hold of the land, she will not fight and would rather others not fight for her. If it means resorting to violence, she would sooner leave the scene than interfere.
HISTORY
Ketu lived the standard life for a wild water monitor, even laid a few egg clutches. Her interaction with humans was limited to the occasional romp into a village. They respected each other as fellow creatures, and the villagers tossed her food from time to time. She never threatened the humans or their animals, and often hid out nearby without their knowledge. She wore down slowly and fell asleep one day only to awaken someplace completely new.
She woke to a renewed fascination with the world around her, despite the overwhelming harshness of the war. To keep out of the fighting, she spent time with spirits, hearing their stories and learning about their lives. She learned all she could in one place and moved on to the next, spending as much time with others as she could. Ketu began keeping a journal and wrote down specific experiences, thoughts, and even poetry. A few rough encounters here and there from unwelcoming souls left her cautious, but did little to stifle her wandering.
MISCELLANEOUS
Ketu prefers to travel by foot rather than by wing; she is able to meet more people this way. Satchel contains an inkwell, and a leather book. She received them as a gift from a bluebird. Somehow, he keeps her well-stocked, no matter where she goes. Her rules are that she does no harm, does not deceive, and never overstays her welcome.
