    • Buttonbutton Cassie Casberry Thicketsway Coppertongue

    Name: Buttonbutton Cassie Casberry Thicketsway Coppertongue (Her parents couldn't decide on a name, so just gave her all of them, generally she just goes by "Button")
    Age: 28
    Gender: Female
    Species: Kender

    Appearance: Short even for a kender at three and a half feet, and built slim and delicate with it, Button is almost sickeningly innocent in appearance. Her skin carries a healthy, rosy blush and only the slightest of tans from the time she spends in the sun. Her body is still childlike and maturing, with coltish legs and hands callused from climbing trees and exploring caves. She often goes barefoot, enjoying the feel of grass and dirt on her feet with her shoes dangling from her belt. Her hair blends a bronzed red, and streaks of golden-blonde as it flows from her head in a long, ribbon-threaded topknot reaching nearly to her knees.

    Her mouth is usually parted in a perpetual smile, white teeth bordered by lips only slightly darker than her skin, her nose resting above her mouth in a small, slightly upturned point. Her eyes are of the brightest emerald green, staring intently out at the world in wonder and excitement.

    As for clothes, Button tends to wear whatever she can get her hands on, often patched together with pieces of cloth that she found when needed, or simply liked the look of and decided to add to her clothes. Generally she chooses some sort of tunic or robe, often with trousers underneath. She will wear a cloak if she must for warmth or shelter, but much prefers to feel the sun, wind and rain falling upon her without interference. A belt or four (or one human belt looped several times) is always about her waist, usually weighed down with pouches at every possible point. She jingles as she walks, charm bracelets and jewellery which attracted her attention being worn everywhere it can be, whether or not it matches the rest of her outfit.

    Finally, and more seriously, the only weapons that she carries are a slim, sharp dagger, more for eating and general use than defense, and the sling which she uses for hunting on her travels.

    Guild/Rank: Bardic apprentice

    Personality:Bubbly and irreppressibly cheerful, nothing can depress Button for long, nor hold her attention. She flits from subject to subject seemingly at random though there may be some sort of pattern to her flights of fancy. She is almost physically incapable of telling the truth as-is, since it always seems so boring to her, and will regularly embellish and exaggerate to make a tale more interesting. Just ask her about the time she fought a demon tried to steal her soul when she was younger. She struggles, with difficulty, to keep her mouth closed at times, wanting to say whatever may come into her head, and many of the pouches at her belt are filled with scraps of leather or paper where she has written down her latest great idea for a story, or a quest, or a new chicken dish, or a potion, or...and so on. Writing and art of all sorts fascinates her, and while her attention may wander once she has read something or learned something she will remember it, in some form or another. Button has only recently developed her sense of wanderlust, and she takes every opportunity she can to indulge it.

    Parents: Lyre Coppertongue, 62, of no guild and Eward Coppertongue, 57, Wanderer of the Bards Guild

    Siblings: This'll take a while, to put it in her own words...

    Well, there's my first-brothers, Curly, Sterpwitz, Duck and Traz, they're all older than me, and my first-sisters too of course, Athola, Damaris, Mirabeth, Shemra, Evalia and Emla. I think most of them wanted to be bards but they might have changed their minds. They're all older than me of course. Then there's my three second-brothers, younger than me, Pease, Morgritty and Marchon, and my four second-sisters, Pazina, Annatree, Telsa and Keppli, and of course the youngest two, the twins, Slipjail and Amari. Most of them are still at home I think. I'm not too good with ages, 'cos I don't keep track of them that well, and those aren't all of their names of course, just what I used to call them.

    Other Familial Ties:Not married, but she has aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, grandparents and so on. I'm not even going to try to list them. Once she tried to make a family tree using a piece of leather bigger than her, but she ran out of room.

    Background:Button has always dreamed of following in her father's footsteps, though not literally, because that would mean she'd be going places he's already told her about and she wants to go to new places. Even as a young child she had a habit of wandering and exploring, climbing trees, hiding in caves, trying (and failing, and nearly drowning) to raft down the village stream. Many of the younger children looked up to her, as she would always be telling them stories of her 'adventures'. With so many stories, her own line between reality and her own 'improved' stories does occasionally blur a little and occasionally her recollections of childhood do take some careful thought for her to decide that there was actually no dragon. While she loves her parents, and the rest of her family, dearly her feet were twitching from the day that she was twelve, and for the next seven years she spent much of the time reading and learning about what was out in the world, and how to explore it, as well as gathering stories, a huge collection of maps (mostly innaccurate, contradictory, or just plain wrong) and little things to take with her. When she turned nineteen, she left to explore.
