The Deadly Ferret Archer

General: The second-in-command to Sir Jiewyn Cadei, the weasel captain of Rodenta's royal guard, Rias was sent out by his lord to bring in the traitor Driam Adriawyn. He meets up with Thalin's travelling party and opts to join them, feeling sympathy for Thalin's situation and wishing to learn more about the strangers he travels with. Rias was given his nickname Tracks by accident... when speaking to his lord, he perked up on his Tiat and sat perfectly still, only his ears, nose, and whiskers moving. He turned to his lord and stated plainly, "There are two score and four Kanics heading straight towards us, Captain, from the northeast... a score and two on Tiat, all carrying weapons, at least one score sword, the rest bow and quiver. They will be on us in an hour's time!" He was right... on all counts.<br />
<br />
Personality: Rias is a wily and crafty ferret. He knows his way around the woods and takes great pride in his great skill. An exceptional archer, he has taken the championship in Rodenta's archery competition for five years running, since he was a squire. He loves a good joke and adores riddles. He also loves teasing his party members... especially Lunari. He is good-natured and friendly, however, and will always help his friends in a pinch.<br />
<br />
The Truth: Rias is extremely dedicated to his duty, but has planned for many years to move to Carnira. He respects Thalin like a father and is very willing to follow in his footsteps and avenge the wrongdoings done to him. Now, he just have to figure out how to tell Thalin that.<br />
<br />
Strengths: From up to four miles, on a strange skill he picked up, Rias can tell how many people in a caravan are heading towards him and a travelling party, what they are carrying, and whether they are friend or foe. He is an extremely skilled archer who can hit any target with deadly accuracy at 150 yards and then some. He knows the terrain of Creaturia better than most animals of the world. He is a very fast runner.<br />
<br />
Weaknesses: Rias is not a strong hand-to-hand combatant and if caught off-guard is easy pickings. He can make sharp turns, but if surrounded, he becomes confused. He is afraid of water.<br />

Rias, or Tracks, is a character from my soon-to-be illustrated short stories called "Heresy in Crystal". Isn't he cute? I can't wait to work with him a bit more!<br />
<br />
Quirks: Not many... don't like the left hand. Other than that, I love this piece.<br />

Rias is c/o me, as is the Heresy in Crystal concept.
