about

Cleo is a small but exuberant Pouflon, brimming with energy and a zest for life that can be quite contagious to those around her. Her optimism and positive outlook keep her in good spirits most of the time, and she is known in her community as the go-to Pouf for those feeling a little bit blue in need of some cheering up.

Her Story... Despite being such a bright, happy young Pouflon, Cleo had a rough start to life. Her mother died when she was very young, leaving her to be raised by a local orphanage. Once she reached her early teens, some cruel incidents led her to run away from the orphanage, taking with her nothing but a doodle she did of her and her mother to keep her company. The first few weeks on her own were terribly lonely; she found a small enclave under a pier where she set up a makeshift home, a damp but relatively safe place to sleep after long days spent looking for food and work. Despite it all, Cleo never gave up trying to find a new place to call home. During the day she would travel the beach, combing for trinkets and pretty shells which she sold in the bustling market place above. After a time, she had saved up enough to begin a mage training course, and things began looking a little brighter for the sweet little Pouflon.

Her present... Despite being such a social butterfly, Cleo doesn't have many close friends, though she keeps an open mind that one day she will find someone who loves chatting with her as much as she does with others. Her biggest dream is to expand her travels farther out into the wonderful, wide world, and find a friend willing to accompany and explore alongside her.

Relationships

Diana [Mage Mentor]

Cleo met Diana in the Citremary marketplace, and quickly charmed her with her bubbly personality. When Diana discovered Cleo's interest in magic, she brought her on a trip to Riddlelock to explore potential schooling options. When Diana realized Cleo had no way to afford tuition or housing near Riddlelock, she took the young Pouflon under her wing, and into her own cozy cottage near Marshgrave and Redwick forest.

Winnie [Adoptive Grandmother]

Upon moving into Diana's cottage in Riddlelock, she was introduced to the neighbour and volunteer housekeeper, Winnie, a small, blind bristly Ursuki. It didn't take long for the bright young pouflon to bring out the nurturing spirit in Winnie, and the odd pair have considered themselves family ever since.

Lily [Friend]

Lily was a young bloom when she found herself lost in a forest and stumbled upon Diana's cottage. While recovering from an injured hoof, she was inspired to start a career as a herbalist, with Winnie as her mentor and confidant. It's no surprise that when Cleo arrived, Lily felt eager to pass on the "newbie torch" and show the little one what wonders can be found in the forest.
