Description
---
Name: Enusae
Nickname: Enu, “Map Lady”
Age: 52
Gender: Female
Race: Brown Hyena
Tribe: Samwati
Height: 5’10"
Weight: 175
Eye color: Amber (eyes dilate to be slitted only under sudden light)
---
Appearance: Broad-shouldered despite her ripened age, a life of battle and action has caused this woman to age in stride. The blazing heat has damaged some skin leaving her elbows with the slightest crinkle, the skin on her hands taut, and her cheekbones bore prominently. She rarely wears an expression of distaste even in bitter disappointment and she has ridges of prominent red fur coasting along her back and limbs. Her hyena spots aren't the only definitive markings as she has her share of aged battle wounds that cause the occasional invisible bump along her body as well as vitiligo that marks the side of her head and her palms with a bright hue. She'll often cover her clawed hands with bindings to keep the heat from damaging the lightened skin and as a result there is an unpleasant tenderness to her heavily-calloused hands. While her body painting will change often, it's seldom that she won't be sporting skeletal trophies of her prey, both animal and unlucky lost men, on her body.
Her knee-length skirt serves to give her a regal 'ambassador' appearance, but when working its knotted end serves its purpose as she threads it around her tail for an efficient pair of pants to keep herself from being restricted.
Molars, vertebrae, and herbivore skulls adorn her appearance-- items that she's collected that are far more interesting to her than the treasure she's buried and written maps directing to all about the land.
---
Weapon: N/A; an opportunistic hunter, an opportunistic fighter. She will use just about any nearby object as a makeshift weapon, resulting in the potential for nasty scars and infected wounds.
---
Personality: Enu is a tricky cool-headed she-devil. She prefers playful tricks and traps, primarily aimed at the young and foolish, over outright aggressive ambushes. She’s a swindler who will make both maps leading to great treasure as well as maps leading to danger and downfall depending on the person. Oftentimes her nicknames have to do with meats and edible parts of the body. The more delicious the meat, the more important the person!
She has a strange charm with children and the ability to endure without sleep for long periods, making her easily a favorite with the late-night sentries or the early risers. It's difficult to tell whether she has this because of an iron will or because she's an insomniac, though it could be both. It's not rare to catch her wandering far too close to the enemy's borders for comfort just to watch or try to encourage a young audience.
---
Likes: “Fermented” meats and drinks (in her age she’s developed a sort of ‘finer taste’ for rotten foods), tricksters, young men/women and children, so-called explorers, regular customers (both satisfied and enraged), trading information, teaching survival methods.
Dislikes: Rude customers, blind accusations, fish and poultry, swamp lands, murky water, bright colors, feathers (allergies), babies.
---
Background: How she's managed to go unnoticed, exploring the land, is a mystery to all. She's quite familiar with the territory and has been responsible for several strange occurrences such as unnaturally (painted) colored animals, tree carvings, and buried carcasses. This hyena is a swindler, a prankster, and strangely interested in the tribes. Perhaps it's the fighting, perhaps it's the boisterous drinking, perhaps it's the need for resources as an older woman... but some have noticed that their children have a surprisingly wide vocabulary and a sudden aspiration to go treasure hunting.
She's been more than happy to speak of her travels and the 'treasure' she's taken to burying about the land, though when questioned about what she's been doing in her time roaming and plotting the land she's certainly to change the subject. When her past rears its ugly head Enusae's prepared to stand firm. After all, she's not afraid of a few old 'friends' and angry customers.
Additional info:
- She'll scavenge animals for every usable part, from the hides to their bladders to give to the small children in her tribe.
- Her ability to create, fabricate, and duplicate maps and writings from memory could make her an invaluable ally to someone who is willing to sift through her forgeries.
- Many of the maps that she sells have convoluted, difficult landmarks and not all lead to treasure... at least not any treasure that they'd want. Some maps however could be the path to long forgotten riches and treasures that she's buried and hidden in her time on her own. Any 'unfortunate accident' that may occur during a treasure hunt to any explorer may find themselves being the next landmark for her quests.
- She doesn't trust soggy earth or watering holes-- she prefers a meticulous dust bath over all else, unless there are other hyenas / allies to keep watch.
- Enu is highly susceptible to be influenced by pack mentality.

I had seen this character before, but didn't read the description, until now...!!!
Really awesome design, she really has the hyena feeling with all that scavenging, and bones...
Redg would be fascinated with her knowledge on mapping and exploring, if it wasn't for their different alliances...:/
Great character though!! x)

Hey man, the beauty of differing alliances means a little competition. After all two rogue explorers can result in some fun overlapping.

Thanks! I was trying to go for a look that reveals how she wants to have an intimidating appearance both in the world of political conflict as well as on the field when there's a conflict where a throwdown is in order. I hadn't even realized there was such a thing as a skirt wrapping until I looked up how old male warriors used to dress. It was really cool to take a look at that kind of thing! I love me some culture~.
I've got a lot of time in the evenings on most days so odds are we'll run into each other one way or another. When we do I hope that we can have a blast!!

Oh most definitely \ouo/ If not in chats then I will pay certainly track you down elsewhere~
Welcome to the hyena tribe friend!

aaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH WHAT AN AMAZING CHARACTER! I DONT HAVE TIME TO LIST ALL THE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT HER RIGHT NOW I GOTTA RUN BUT JESUSHCHRIST IM IN LOVE YOU DID AMAZING. SHE IS EVERY BIT A HYENA IN ALL AREAS AND IM DYING.
ILL BE BACK. ASDLFKJASD;LFJ XD
[EDIT]
I RETURN.
Let me just. First off her appearance. is goddamn legendary. I am extremely pleased by the fact that she is a beefy woman just like her feral counterpart would have. The shoulder tufts are killing me and the urge to draw her almost solely for that reason is extreme.
Her skull coverings and the necklace and waist band lined with the like is stupid creative and I'm almost ashamed I never thought of something similar asdkjfsdf
Not to mention her up and go skirt auGUUGH
Im going to cry at her personality too hfhfg How shes older, but still a trouble maker and trick puller is absolutely my favorite thing about her.
Once I finish some of these Rps I'm in I'm coming after you >8D

Haha, I'm really glad that she's going to be well accepted! Enu'll be causing some problems no doubt, especially with her deceit and lone-survivalist mentality, but I think she's going to be a really fun ally / antagonist for users. I was wanting to make a character that's just as imposing but oddly entertaining as hyenas are.
She's the first 'older woman' character I've decided to put in a RP so I'm going to be doing my absolute best to get into that kind of 'been there, done that, but might be doing it again' mindset for her. I really am looking forward to getting to roleplay out some casual chaos with the rest of the gang 8)
