Legends of Belariath
Autumn
From Birth, she like her twin sister were aptly named. She was given the name Autumn and her sister Fall. There were named to match there coloring on there fur.. Bright flame hued fur with orange tips on there tails that traced patters up over there faces and down the length of there bodys. They both were born single tails.
Both her parents where vulpines of simillair coloring, just not as robust as theres. Her Father, by the name of Talen Poutail, was known for being a High elder mage for the local town, and one of the elders in there tribe. Having 4 tails on his own had gained him a presence within there tribe.
Her mother, Lily Poutail, actually worked just outside of there tribe.. in a neaby town that consisted of assorted races, She was the high chef for the Local elven lord Lartesh. It was rumored that The lord considered her the finish cook he had ever run across in his vast travels.
Needless to say.. autumn and her sister fall were full of spunk there intire youth.. getting into trouble.. as youths tend to do. When they came of age for there souls, The pair of them were tasked with living in the wild for a month on there own.. and not with one another. For Autumn it seemed to be one of the toughest times she had ever experienced within her short life.. But manageing to make it threw she returned.. and the Lady blessed her with a 2nd tail.. as she was soul joined.
Her sister had returned the way of the Elven town.. She had also completed her month of alone..A sad fate seemed to be in store her for as she ended up being part of a Altercatation as she passed threw town. A band of Black wolven had taken a dislike to her.. and sadly.. had desided she wasn't in need of her tails and ruthless took a blade and cut off her tails. The tragedy didn't go unpunished. The local lord had all the wolvens punished.. as she was helped to return to her tribe. A tailless vulpine.. was more or less not even considered a vulpine in a lot of vulpine eyes..
Autumn having such sorrow for her system.. spent a month praying at the Vulpine temple.. offering her soulforged tail to the Lady to return her sisters tails to her. The Lady did answer One morning she woke up before the lady in the temple.. her hand seeming to reach down to touch her head.. One of her tails seemed to fade. That's when she woke up from her "dream" only it didn't seem like a dream anymore cause she found that one of her tails were Missing.
Her sister had found her.. Happy beond belief as she had been gifted with autumns second tail. The ultimate scarfaice for a vulpine.. she gave of one of her tails for her sister so they both could live.
As the next year passed, unlike normal vulpine tribes sex seemed to be mandatory training, Here it really wasn't. She and her sister had learned the basics.. but mostly around being allowed to pray to The Lady properly.
Her sister and her showed talent for magery so there father had started to train them in the magical arts. Her sister had taken to it with a flair. Autumn on the other hand.. while still having a natural talent for it.. tended to find magery not that.. intresting. Perhaps that is why she didn't excel at it like her sister did. What she did find intresting was the time she had spent with there mother.
It wasn't long after it was also decovered she had a natural talent for cooking also.. baking pasterys and assorted food alike. She spent the next year learning some magery and exeeling at cooking alone side her mother. Until that faithful day she desided she needed to see the world a bit.. much like any vulpine tended to feel.. so out she set.. Hopeing to learn from much better cooks of the world.
