Appearance: Teru's a pretty skinny kaasht-more so than the typical Sky, even...probably because he's paranoid about what he eats. He's not sickly or anything, though. He's a nice shade of shiny gold, with crimson tiger-like stripe markings on his head/neck/body, but not lower legs, tail, or wings. His ears and larger wing feathers are tipped in a deep cobalt, and his eyes are a bright shade somewhere between sky blue and turquoise.
History: The clan Teru grew up in was your fairly average group of Skies...smallish, nice, peaceful, and all that stuff. He proved to not be very average himself, however. Even as a very young kit he was pretty paranoid and jumpy, and the nicest of adults would have to admit that Teru was the kind who might not just jump at his own shadow, he might fear it was stalking him. Still, he was treated as kindly as any of the other kits, and when he wasn't hiding somewhere, he managed to have a pretty decent childhood.

However, things got worse when he got a little older and began to learn more about the world...all those dangerous things! And diseases! Especially the Curse...the idea of it terrified him even more than usual, reducing him to a far less sane level of paranoia...the poor guy. Being around other kaasht, especially Skies, scared him out of his wits, and it didn't help that many a concerned kaasht seemed to have decided that he could really use a hug. Near the end of his second level he ran off to a more isolated areas of the mountains. Many other members of his clan worried about him...or pitied him, but after sending someone to check on him led to him running away screaming, they figured that it was best to just leave the poor guy alone.

Teru's mellowed slightly with age...he's still terrified of Skies, but he'll somewhat tolerate other kaasht, as long as they keep a reasonable distance and don't touch him. Fear of injury or illness led to his gold abilities being his best by far...he'd probably make for a good healer if he weren't so afraid of others. As-is, he'd help an injured kaasht, but if they seemed to be sick, he'd probably only approach them if he thought that was the only thing he could do to help. He's not a pacifist, but he shares the Sky dislike of fighting...and what kind of fighter would a paranoid wimp like himself make, anyway? That's what things like Invisibility are for...run away, run awaaay!

He currently still lives up in a more isolated area of the mountains, in an area with a few natural caves too small to attract any Mountain settlements or anything of that sort, and too rocky and high up for most other breeds' tastes. About his only visitors are the occasional wandering Mountain or the like, although they probably don't even know he's there, as he's understandably gotten good at hiding. He'll wander down to lower areas to find food...or to look at plants. He likes flowers, as they don't make him nervous for any reason...
