History
Back Story: Born to Ishtiri Cougarfang of the Spirit Clan and Thomas Cooke, an Ontari who was exiled for her crimes against the tribe for releasing the male prisoners held captive by them. It was during this exile that Ishtiri conceived Ryshaeri and during this year that the child was born. All but a few seasons old before their return to the tribe, Ishtari was met with unease upon her return with the child. In spite of her human blood, the child Ryshaeri looked the part of an Ontari child if not for the brown depth of her eyes that betrayed her heritage. Alas, the child was an outsider and after days and nights of tension the child was eventually accepted into the clan as one of their own.
Ryshaeri up only knowing stories of her father, the handsome foreign knight from a far away land that enraptured her mother was long gone. It was only in later life that the young woman eventually figured out why. Outsiders that were captured were killed and/or eaten. In spite of her heritage with the others, Ryshaeri's interaction with the other children was not forced or difficult. Those that tried to bully her were quickly put in their place and the others kids quickly understood their peer had a temper when backed into a corner that wasn't to be pushed.
This temper later became Ryshaeri's undoing. Though valued as a Tussock among their ranks, the young warrior struck her leader in a moment of anger and was too sent into exile. Sent away with the animals that refused to be without, Ryshaeri instead of setting out to the mountains took her exile as an opportunity to find her father. Time and time again her mother had spoke of a land called Aramane in some strange language and the great city of Renmere with large walls of stone. The city of stone, that was her new destination.
Upon her advent to the stone city of Renmere, Ryshaeri had a hard time understanding the locals. They talked fast in a dialect she had only begun to understand the words of and it became difficult to communicate. Ryshaeri spent days wandering through town awkwardly asking for someone who knew "Thomas Cooke" until eventually she found him. Informed by a knight that her father was in fact in the ranks of the military in this strange city, the young half-blood excitedly rushed to meet the man her mother told her so many wonderful stories of. Greeted with warmth and reserved consideration by her father, the man was both confused and overjoyed at her existence. With difficulty they managed to communicate about each others lives and Thomas taught her some more words of their language.
Ryshaeri liked the freedom of the lives that the stone city held, she told her father of what she did with the tribe and her affinity with the creatures of the world. It was that moment when she asked to earn her keep that she was steered toward Skyriding. Now a new recruit among the ranks, a foot soldier; Ryshaeri is learning her way around the wonders of the stone city and the language of those that reside there.
