Lightgaze

She needs a description for hair and eyes, but otherwise...she looks fine to me!

Oh oh oh... and another VERY long history added. Anna, I mentioned her bond with her sister... is it all right like this?

What you've written for the sisters is fine with me. With so much age between them, they wouldn't really feel like sisters much, in my opinion.

I've said she would be a tanner/weaver, do we have weavers? If the climate is well enough, we could have cotton I think one could never have enough tanners, too, but if you'd rather want her to have another fucntion, let me know.

Weaving can be done with animal hair, and there are more plant fibers than cotton that can be used to make cloth. And, too, this is a different world entirely, and we can make up a lot of things to suit our needs. So yes - I'd say we could have weavers. Leather clothing would be the norm simply because it's much easier to supply in quantity, but there's definitly the option of weaving. And if there weren't, their will be since the wavedancers don't wear leather - they wear cloth. If Wolfriders didn't know it before hand, they'd learn of it after meeting the wavedancers.

We currently have one tanner with us - but you're right that two would be handy. It's a lot of work and a shared task always goes more happily.

I like Lightgaze! (I like her a lot more than Stormfire likes Fernflower, that's for certain.)

And I'm seconding Anna on weavers and tanners. We can never have enough weavers and tanners, simply because the craft is so labor-intensive. And when you think about it, those clothes have got to be taken off and cleaned before they fall apart or just get irredeemably grimy--so what do the Wolfriders do in the meantime, go bare? If we've got several tanners/weavers (I'm wondering if we can feasibly bring in moth-fabric), we can ensure the tribe has, to a one, at least two changes of clothes per season. (Now, whether it's all the same outfit, I guess, would be up to us . . .)

[Anna]

Or we could be completely lazy and let our weavers/tanners do all the clothing design so the rest of us don't have to worry about it... After all, I never saw Moonshade taking measurements, and she seemed to enjoy surprising her tribe with new leathers...

Is that a hint?

[Viola]

And yay, everything's added! I dubbed a long time about the hair color, but I made it

Oh and Phoebe, since we crossposted earlier : how and when did Redthorn and Lightgaze became soul sisters? Did Lightgaze knew as soon as Redthorn was born?

[peachbug]

That acutally sounds good, unless you have any other ideas, because Wolfrider parents hear the child's soulname at birth, right?, So she heard it too.

[Anna]

If you're using the relationship between Skywise/Cutter as the template for soulsiblings, I think how it happens is that the friendship is just so very close that at some point, a Recognition like bond forms and they just know each other's soul names. I'm basing this on Skywise apparently not knowing Cutter's when he was born, and the evidence that while say, Ember and Sunstream known Cutter's soulname, they don't have the same bond with him that Leetah and Skywise do. When Cutter gets hurt, Skywise and Leetah feel an echo of it - but the kids don't.

If you enjoy costume design, yep! ;D

[Viola]

I think that there's a diversity in ways an elf can have a soul sibling... and I think as a fan holt, we have a few liberties. There are little soulsiblings in the Elfquest canon, I doubt every one started out as Cutter's and Skywise's Is it true that Ember and Sunstream know Cutter's soulname? Did I miss that?

Lightgaze's spirit can have touched Redthorn's during her sleep... she hasn't been aware of her Astral Projection just yet, but her spirit might have been able to walk another dimension while she was asleep or unconcious, I think.


And uhm, I'll see what I can do
