Sable

Sable is a cat beastkin from a small country on the other side of Almyra. Her parents were diplomats in the Almyran royal court for years, helping grow the relationship between the two countries. As such, Sable was raised alongside Shahid and Claude. When her parents were murdered by those who hated the small laguz country her family hailed from, Sable was taken in by Claude's family, as she had no other living relatives. From that day onward, she hid her more bestial traits (most notably her ears and tail) from the prying eyes of the public, and only revealed them in private.

When Claude left for Garreg Mach in Fódlan, she refused to let him go alone (and refused to be left without her closest friend for who knows how long) and joined him at the Academy. She enrolled in the Golden Deer alongside him. Many viewed her as his retainer and a bit of an oddity, as she always wears cloak with the hood up. She claimed Fódlan was just cold, though few believed her. During the timeskip, she stops disguising herself as often, though she's still anxious about revealing her true nature to people she doesn't know. In both periods, she wears her beaststone on a choker.

She has terrible luck with mounts. They know a predator when they see one and consequently, she's incapable of riding horses and pegasi because they're extremely wary of her. Wyverns don't mind her as much, as predators themselves, but the only one she truly gets along with is Claude's. Griffons are somewhat neutral about her.
