She is an active menace to wargs and goblins, has no love of dwarves, and prefers to scare people rather than suffer their company. It’s safe to say that people do not interest her but perhaps more accurately, she lacks a fundamental understanding that leads to discomfort, both amongst outsiders and within her kin (frankly, she’d rather toss her brothers down a mountainside than share honey cakes). Ubara simply does not comprehend certain concepts. Home? What is that; the mountains are her home. Borders? Those are imaginary lines. Friendship? Is<em>that</em>what shares with beasts? Love? Is<em>that</em>what she feels for her kin?<br/><br/>At the end of the day, Ubara doesn’t have the answer to any of these questions and doesn’t care enough to sort them out. Life was made for living, not for thinking about it. Seasons change, life moves on, and she moves with it.<br/><br/><strong>Quirks:</strong>Things like<em>idioms</em>and<em>subtlety</em>and<em>romance</em>are utterly lost on her and the depth of human emotion is as foreign as Khuzdul.<br/><br/><strong>Motivation(s):</strong>She is compelled to traverse the mountains as a creature of instinct but when she found the peaks crawling with evil, she vowed to rid them of as much filth as possible.<br/><br/>If she happens upon folk who do not vex her then it is possible to call on her aid<em>for a time</em>but she is, at her core, aloof and transient and therefore unlikely to remain without good reason, even with people she grows fond of.<br/><br/><strong>Special:</strong>Wild animals will not attack her unless provoked.<br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>SPELL LIST – ANIMAL MASTERY</strong></span><em>(3x a day)</em><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Animal Sleep:</strong> Put an animal to sleep <em>(no enchanted or intelligent creatures)</em></li><li><strong>Cloaking:</strong> Hide from others</li><li><strong>Summons:</strong> Summon 2-3 animals and control them while  concentrating</li><li><strong>Animal Location:</strong> Locate members of 1 species in the area</li><li><strong>Animal Mastery:</strong> Control the actions of 1 animal while concentrating</li><li><strong>Befriending:</strong> All animals within 15m radius act friendly</li></ul><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>SKILL PROFICIENCIES</strong></span><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Great:</strong> Animal, Athletics, Concentration, Perception, Survival</li><li><strong>Basic:</strong> Combat, Crafting, Evaluation, Gymnastics, Medical, Magical</li><li><strong>None:</strong> Academics, Linguistic, Social, Subterfuge</li></ul><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Equipment</strong></span><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Woolen Tunic</li><li>Woolen Trousers</li><li>Warg-Hide Boots</li><li>Folding Knife</li><li>Thread</li><li>Needles <em>(3)</em></li><li>Herds of wild goats and sheep <em>(she typically only herds them places with ample shrubbery so you will rarely, if ever, see them in town).</em></li></ul><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Personal History</span></strong></span> </div><br/>Ubara was born many years ago, too many now to remember though perhaps her identical brothers, Beyor and Sabu, have been keeping track. The triplets never met their father before he left but their mother never begrudged him and told magnificent tales (of varying levels of authenticity) of his brutish exploits. In their youths, there were a few occasions where the family traveled – always two-by-two – to visit kinfolk along the Anduin, but for the most part, Ubara and her brothers were raised in seclusion in the Misty Mountains. There, they learned the tongue of beasts and soon cultivated a thriving homestead but unlike the rest of her family, who preferred keeping simple animals like horses, cattle, and bees, Ubara favored the wild mountain goats and sheep so much that she learned their tongue before any other. They were often a nuisance and vexed her brothers greatly, to her immense pleasure.<br/><br/>In time, the growing independence of Ubara, Beyor, and Sabu saw their relationships shift from a trio of friendly rivalries into a bramble of resentful competition that Ubara was relieved to disentangle from. Scraps had become tooth-and-claw<em>fights</em>where no one could agree upon the victor and Ubara soon left, believing intrinsically that she didn’t need to prove anything to anyone but herself.<em>No one tells the wind which way to blow.</em><br/><br/>So, she traversed the misty peaks at her leisure, guided by the seasons and sniffing for adventure but it did not take long for her to discover that outside of her mother’s lands, the mountains were crawling with goblin filth. Small parties were easy enough to maul but the more she killed the more she found, and eventually realized that she could not eradicate them herself, no matter her form. There were certain limitations to living alone that she had not considered and had to adapt to, lest nature snuff her out.<br/><br/>Trekking further south, she eventually found a giant beech grove in the lush lowlands and there crafted a hut (https://i.imgur.com/5lzYAAT.pnghut) in the boughs. It took some months to finish and has been updated numerous times over the years but still sports no ladders or ropes to aid the ascent, though the trunk is grooved from bear claws. Out front, a perimeter of goblin heads is staked as a warning and the “door” to her house is a giant warg hide with the head still attached. There are many rooved platforms amongst the branches, giving her home a spartan but multilevel appeal that is difficult for anyone under six feet tall to navigate. Inside, it is warm and comfortable, equipped with a simple fire pit and chimney, rooms for storage, a large bed for sleeping, and plenty of yawning windows to let in the breeze. However, Ubara only hibernates there, leaving it vacant for long stretches of time while she roams the peaks in the shape of a bear, enjoying her rustic life.<br/><br/><strong>Played By:</strong>Luciferia (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?action=profile)
