Family Background:

Arrowroot and CamuCamu were one of the many families that were affected by the Plague when they were 64 years of age. Their mother and East Wind shuttled herbs from field collectors to the healers and apothecary day and night despite her own affliction with the disease. Upon return of one run she nearly fell from exhaustion and the debilitating effects of the sickness, but luckily they had found a cure and gave her a vial of it to consume. Unfortunately East Wind was affected and due to give birth, and with an act of selflessness Camucamu’s mother gave the great beast her antidote and faced death on her own.

From there Camu was given the unwanted task of mediator and messenger between father and son. Though she loved both of them became rather resentful that it had happened during their time of loss. She also adored her mother but she wasn't affected the way Arrowroot was and in a fit of frustration aligned herself with her father on placing blame on the gryphon and the family oath for her death.

When Arrowroot left unannounced she felt abandoned growing angry from his selfish act. Though she found her father was a bit remorseful over what had happened she bitterly threw herself into working the mines and rarely mentioned him at all.

When he did return they fought long and hard for nearly a week straight. She wouldn't let him or the great beasts back on the property and he wouldn't apologize for leaving. The conflict escalated to a full on fist fight, but after the dust settled (plus countless fractured and broken bones kept them from continuing) they had forgiven each other and quickly amended past wrongs.

As Camu became reacquainted with the two new additions of the family Feathered Stone the elder male gryphon took a shine to her and they became riding companions from time to time.

Background:
Daughter of a miner and Gryphon keeper scout, Camucamu loves Terra like any miner would and prides herself on her personal knowledge of its secrets.

She picked up much of her skill and mindset from her father, and when teamed together they produce an interesting haul of gems, metals, and other odd discoveries. Despite her large build she is quite limber and able to squeeze through the smaller caverns and also taught herself how to slow her breathing to near death to conserve air and energy in tight areas.

Camu and her father were glad to join the archeologists in their pursuit of artifacts after the discovery of the Book of Legends. To her it's another adventure just waiting to happen, and a chance to spread her wings.

Battle

Camucamu uses four strings of Luna's hair for a weapon. Each piece are originally eight feet long with six inches that are hardened into a steel needle tip. Individually or all together they can be used as a whip, rope weapon, or stringed dart.

The thread is always concealed and Camu's favorite tactic is to get in close and allow her opponent to seemingly gain the upper hand. After being thrown around she then tightens strand rendering them motionless, or dead depending on the situation. (or as Rowe found out when he returned, strung up by a few sensitive things).

She is also learning Muay Thai and Capoeira from Salmonberry's mother. She enjoys how it keeps her body flexible and strong

In the air Camu doesn't fight like her brother, and in all truth hates to free fall, but with Feathered Stone she does have a few tricks up her sleeve.

Personality:

If Camucamu is one thing then she is an Amazon. She doesn't hide the fact that she towers over most of the males, nor that she a miner, matter of fact she rarely hides anything that she does....well almost.

She is the youngest by less than a minute and one with a bit of a temper. She is smart in her own way; it's just hidden under layers of stubbornness and determination. She took on much responsibility when Rowe left and her father was wrapped up in his own grief. Much of her early youth was spent taking care of others. Now she tries to live what she's missed.

While her brother thinks she usually speaks letting her intentions known. She would, in the past, chase after guys for fun; however, a Wanderer had caught her eye and they are currently building a relationship together.

But she also knows when not to force herself or presence on anyone. She is just as happy to hang out and laugh over a few pints and gamble like her brother. Though not as lucky as he in cards, she does play a mean game of dice.

Camu has one obsession and that happens to be music boxes. Ever since she discovered the contraption at an abandoned human camp she's tried every way possible to collect them. Her prized possession is a box with a dancing figure that plays Frosti.

Relations:

Arrowroot: Brother. She still harbors some resentment towards him leaving but can also see how much he struggles to find the City of Mists. Though she finds the search mostly fun she will accompany him on travels to make sure he stays in his right mind.

Salmonberry: Friend and drinking companion. She enjoys the stories he tells and he reminds her of her mothers' tales. When in town she will usually seek him out for small talk.

Quince: Loves the big lug so much, and how he gets flustered from time to time over the dates she has with him. She loves dancing with him and also getting hoisted on his shoulders.

Acerola: Her little "poppet". She thinks he just begs to be swept up and given hugs. She melts at his shoulder rubs (when he can reach them) and doesn't mind if he needs to use his tree monkey skills to get there.

Cucumber: The uptight baker that she tries to unravel. Though she knows Rowe's presence does nothing for her cause, she does try her best to show that the entire family isn't destructive….and resist the urge to hook his collar with one of her threads.

Raspberry: Cat fight in the making. 'Nuf said.

Chestnut: They became friends after Camu began to supply the jeweler with some of the gems and stones she found while mining with her father. It developed into a strong relationship, until just recently. A little rough spot was hit when both joined in the pursuit of the Wanderer Chief Wolf, but now things are starting to be like it was before.

Cannonball- One of her childhood friends mostly through Mocambo, Cannon and her would always be at odds for the pranks they would play on each other, or team up to play on her brother. She would enjoy his company at the Gown when he’d go there and would get the explosives she would need for mining excavations from him.

Muskmelon- Dance and drinking partner, great guy to hang out with and to get a few music boxes from.

Crow- Only met a few times but those weren’t the best. He was busy trying to steal her music box gears, she was busy trying to beat the kids ass.

Dala- Would catch the aerie keeper at the job or take her out for flights on the gryphons. They have an easy friendship, and will hang out time to time at Mocambo’s shop.

Mocambo- One of her closest girl friends they helped each other out during the Great Plague. Camu is very protective of her only because of what little time she has and will be the only person outside of family that she trusts with her thoughts and worries.

Heelan- The gentle giant of a Wanderer caught her eye while she was fighting at a boxing match. He was one of the bouncers, and was surpised to find that he was so quiet and inteligent and it made her curiousity rise quite a bit.
