[queenmoll]

Your character's full name: Jayne
Age: 24
Species: ferret
Gender: Female
Allegiance: Neutral
Appearance:

Jayne is about average size for a ferret. She is slender as she has always lacked quite enough food and drink. Her forest green eyes that possesses a kind of charm and also can be as cold as the icy Northlands. However they also hold a haunted quality: a remnant of things she has been forced to endure. Her body bears several scars from her life as a slave: most notably stripes from the whiplash on her back. Several seasons of better treatment have began to see the growth of fur over raw flesh on her wrists and ankles where she has in the past been chained to prevent her escape from bondage.
She wears a plain blue dress identical to that of other serving maids in the castle.

Belongings:

Jayne owns only a few coins that she has received as payment from her mistress since her title was changed from slave to servant.

Job or Position:

lady's maid to Queen Callista of Riftgard

Personality:

Jayne's position as the lowest of the low has been drilled into her from her earliest seasons. When all you ever hear is that you are dirt born to serve creatures that are better than yourself you tend to start to believe it. But something in Jayne made her want to try to brake out and seek something better. She is scared but determined to make her own way in the world and now that she is free she never ever wants to be any beast's slave ever again. She doesn't trust the kindness of others and constantly attempts to judge their motives.

History and Background Information:

Jayne has no idea where she was born or what her family was like. She was sold or kidnapped and made a slave when she was very young. All she can remember is being passed from master to master, some worse than others. She has endured long days and nights scrubbing pots and pans and floors and windows, has been chained to an oar on a galley, and forced to mine stone in a quarry at different times in her life.
Her most recent master was by far the best: a healer on the Isle of Akkladia. She was given to him as payment for her previous master's medical treatment. The doctor cared for her wounds and she began to heal as he taught her parts of his trade. Still he made it clear that she belonged to him. It was almost as if he was grooming her for some more intimate role. He was an old ferret with no wife or children and perhaps he saw in her one or both of those possibilities. Either way, Jayne didn't trust his motives. She didn't want to to be used satisfy his fantasies anymore than she had wanted to row in that galley or haul rocks in the quarry.
Jayne found the opportunity to make her escape in the confusion of the arrival of Riftgard's queen to the island. Everybeast came out to the dock to see the arrival of her ship and Jayne and the doctor were among them. She began to edge away from him when he wasn't paying attention and then broke out into a run as soon as she was out of his sight. Crates of trade goods provided a hiding place on the dock till the crowd receded. The coming storm was helpful as well. No beast wanted to be out in the gale that was coming. Jayne searched for the ship that looked like it would be departing from the island the soonest. The royal vessel seemed the most likely candidate.
She was discovered hiding by a sailor after they had already been at sea for some time and was brought before the King and Queen to find out what would be done with her.
Callista after hearing her story decided to give her a chance to which Jayne swore to live up to.
