The Cabal:

Temper: Ronin (A Samurai without a master)
Breed: Honeybush badger
Breed Appearance: Mutant half Ulun'suti
Height: 17 hands
Personality:

Dedicated and proud, Ridley's profession and talents mean the world to her. But her love for Rhona, the only family she'd ever known, ran deeper. After her failure to protect her, she fell into a spiral of despair.

She knows that Yuki will never be forgive her, but she is honor and duty bound to at least try to redeem herself.

There is a sadness that does not leave her eyes nor the twinge of regret in her husky voice.

Quirks/Character Traits:
✶ Believes that the stain on her honor cannot be removed for the loss of Rhona
✶ Bonded with Niles (the crane), the distraught and grieving pet of Rhona
✶ Has a very strong belief system in the ancestors and honour.

Suti Power- Invigorate: This power can be used by both pure, as well as mixed- or half-breed wood ulun'suti. The ulun'suti can invigorate and encourage local plant growth and reporduction. Trees tend to grow leafier and stronger, while vines and grasses grow longer and much more plush. Any plant is affected by this, including seaweed and kelp, provided they are within the area of effect and concentration. This ability does not happen naturally though - the ulun'suti must focus on an area (or a specific plant) and use his or her energy. This often happens during their prayers or meditations, and the effect may be slow but significant over a little bit of time.


Backstory:

Ridley Kuzeri was born in the far north to a tribe with traditions as old as time itself. She learned to use her claws for survival in the harsh cold and as a defense against enemies. When she was yet a foal, she was taken into the house of one Yuki Tanaki, a fierce stallion who was powerful as he was vain. Having made many enemies, he took Ridley on as a samurai to protect his daughter Rhona.

Ridley learned from the best, excelling in her skills by the time she'd reached adulthood. She and Rhona became the best of friends, as close as sisters. But tragedy happened. The herd was attacked by a stallion who had been crossed by her father Yuki when he'd found him no longer useful. It was during this attack that Ridley was wounded, a gaping gash on her head leaving her stunned and defenseless on the ground, unable to stop Rhona from being brutally murdered in front of her eyes.

Yuki, the proud and foolish stallion, blamed his daughter's death soley on Ridley (though it was his fault that the attacker's had come). He no longer favored her with his grace, deeming her as fallen from favor--a failure.

So she became a Ronin, a samurai without a master.
