Appearance: Menden is small and unnusually light of build for a Cave Kaasht, lacking the strong musculature of many of his kind. He is a pale silver in coloring, almost white and not as shiny as many of that color, but still true in abilities. His legs from the knees down colored pure gold and a stripe of the same runs from his nape to his haunches, fragmenting into smaller stripes over his shoulders and sides. His large, expressive eyes are a deep, dark blue, highlighted by his golden tear lines and his even larger, mobile ears rimmed in gold.

History: Menden is a gentle soul, scholarly, kind, and incredibly fond of kits. He grew up happy to simply tend kits in his Cave Clan, his abilities and temperment perfectly suited for keeping track of and entertaining the young ones. His mixed coloring and abilities, however, made such a peaceful life impossible. When he entered his third level he was approached by another of his kind who was also bi-colored, like himself, and who wanted him to join a group called the Guild-- whether Menden wanted to or not. He would have been carried away or killed had his younger sister Kaashtalin not happened upon the scene and killed the Guild's messenger.

Unable to risk anything happening to other members of his Clan, unwilling to join the Guild, Menden fled his home. His sister followed and vowed to protect him and currently the two wander, always on the look-out for Guild members and trying to find someplace safe.
