Name:	Corvel
Apparent Gender:	Male
Length:	2'7"
Appearance:	A strongly built but very small murin, Corvel's fluffy fur is a pale blue all over, fading to white on his paws, muzzle, and tummy. Running over his back and down his sides from neck to haunches are jagged, semi-parellel, dark gray, connected by a single stripe of black running along his spike from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail. His muzzle is slightly shorter than those of most murin, less vulpine and more canine, and his eyes are a very light green, full of emotion.
History:	Once a Mountain/Valley Protector named Coorvel, Corvel is now a pleasant and compassionate, if overly worrisome, little murin. He died protecting his mate, a Guilder, his partner, another Protector, and his young daughter from Guilders intent on bringing his mate back into the fold or killing her in the process. He has no idea what eventually happened to his mate and kit, but when given the opportunity to return to Tryne as a murin, creatures he had always admired, he eagerly took up the opportunity. It may have been pure chance, or it may have been the will of the Spirit Elemental Kami, but very soon after arriving in the material world again, Corvel met up with a beige murin named Shoriaa-- the reincarnated form of his Protector partner from life. Overjoyed to see a friendly face, he proposed that they seek out their bonded kaasht or minenas together, and she agreed with her usual stoicity. They searched Tryne together until they found twin minlings who were worthy and in need of murin companions, for their parents had been killed and they were all alone. The two pairs bonded, and the murin began teaching their young charged how to protect themselves, and find food and shelter in the wilds of Tryne. All would have gone well if, in adulthood, the minena twins hadn't heard that the band of rogues who killed their parents and friends were still alive and wreaking havoc on other bands of minenas. Desperate for revenge, and the secondary reason and primary excuse of ridding the world of such scum, they took off in pursuit. It took them many years to actually track the band of kaasht down, and despite their murins' protests, they simply attacked them. A pair of minenas, no matter how well-trained, stood little chance against the larger and more numerous kaasht. Corvel and Shoriaa tried to protect their charges, but only succeeded in getting themselves wounded while the minenas died. Corvel and Shoriaa escaped, but only just, and now must deal with not only the loss of their bonded minena twins but also the guilt of being unable to stop their deaths. They intend to stay together, no matter what.
