I keep forgetting to make this all official..
Name: Khei
Age: Unknown. Appears to be around 30.
Race/Species: Kittora (This will be explained further down..)
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 170 lbs (Though she doesn't look like it)
General Appearance:
* Human: Average and seems to be of Celtic heritage from her abundance of freckles. The odd thing about her freckles is that they seem to form ever so faint stripe like patterns along her jaw line, neck, and arms.
Her shoulder length brown hair, in the right light, shines with a faint teal tint though you can easily shrug it off as your eyes playing tricks on you. Even her lightly tanned skin seems to give off a strange slate grayish tint, again, in just the right light. Her eyes are of the brightest emerald green you ever saw. They also strike you as almost cat like.
* Kittora: At first glance most would run from such a beast. Though still standing at average human height, this is clearly not human. Her fur covered face is human enough in appearance and expression save for a short muzzle and longer, black, Lynx like ears. Her fur color is of a slate gray (grayblue) with darker grayblue muzzle, hands, and stripes where her freckles were. Her shoulder length hair is now teal in color. Emerging from the buttoned flap of her slacks is a slender feline like tail, adorned with the same stripes as the rest of her body and ending in a dark grayblue tuft like that of a lion.
* Clothing: Her clothes are very foreign to be sure. You'd almost swear that they were Asian in style but not quite. her shirt is of a deep blue color. The sleeves end at her elbows and are well worn. Over that she wears a faded hunter green vest like article. The "vest" looks almost like a sleeveless kimono. Her slacks are tan in color and fit slightly loosely. The legs are tucked neatly into her boots which reach just above her ankles. Around her waist lays a belt where you'd expect anyone to be carrying a sword. Khei carries only what seems to be a crudely forged dagger. At the wrist she wears bracers. They appear to be made of leather but have strange symbols or writing on them.
Special Effects: As long as Khei wears her bracers she remains in Human guise but should she loose either of them, her true form would be revealed. (This also tends to be an insanely painful ordeal for her should it happen.)
Special Abilities: Though the pocket dimension from which she originated from is now gone, Khei does retain one ability from her former life. Dreamwalking. A form of fine tuned telepathy for Khei's kind, it's not an often used process as it is extremely dangerous.
The ability to enter the dreams of others is a complicated process.
* First the dreamwalker must actually know the person who's dream she intends to enter. She cannot enter the dreams of anyone she knows only by name. She would have to have had, at least, brief personal contact with the person.
* Secondly the person would have to be asleep for her to enter his or her dreams.
* Thirdly this process leaves the dreamwalker in a very vulnerable position as her body is left in a coma like state.
* Lastly the belief that dying in a dream will result in the death of your physical body holds VERY true for dreamwalkers. As such dreamwalking is a talent that is reserved as a last resort.
Assumed History: Created by evil but not evil themselves, Khei's kind were created in a pocket dimension by a demon. She supposes as a plaything. She and her kind were plagued with visits by this demon who'd wreak havoc and destroy everything the kittora had. Trapped in this demon made world they made their living as simple farmers but the headstrong youngsters of the village would gather in secret and prepare to fight the demon upon it's next visit.
They accordingly did attack the demon when it next made a visit to their little village. Suffice to say the demon was quite caught by surprise. Numbers and the element of surprise having been on their side, the young kittora dispatched the demon. However they did not plan for what happened next. With the demon dead, the pocket world could no longer be sustained and began collapsing around them. Most ran into their homes to hide from the inevitable. One child did escape, purely by accident.
Searching for someplace to escape to the ground cracked and fell out from under her feet. Khei tried to keep from falling but to no avail. Before she knew what happened she found herself cold and wet in a vast body of water. She looked about in a panic but "home" was nowhere to be found nor where any friends or family. She swam for as long as her tired arms could work and at the end of her strength she spied a chunk of wood, pulled herself onto it, and blacked out.
When she came to, she found herself washed up onto a strange beach. A kindly old mage, for she took the man to be, took her in and raised her as best he could. The man made a gift of her bracers to help her find a new life in this strange place.
Personality: Though she's wary of new faces, she can be quite friendly and loyal to those she calls friends. Outwardly she tries to be happy and hard working but deep under everything she carries a heavy burden of loss for her friends and family.
Weakness : She's rather easy to fool at this early stage as she lacks any real experience in the real world.

About a played by... hm... difficult. I´ll let you know if I can think about someone.
Surely one could adjust the eye colour with Photoshop and add some freckles. Maybe Khei will like her.
