The Magnificent Seven's Haunted Mesa RPG ~ The Characters

Kit Pelli

Written by: Tirya

Email: tirya@enteract.com

Age: 19

Sex: Female

Appearance: Kit is about 5'6" tall, and is rather lean and rangy. Her figure could be called tomboyish, but she really isn't a tomboy. Her usual attire is a well-worn split riding skirt that was once a uniform shade of brown (but wind and rain have faded it to a weathered tan) paired with a long-sleeved wheat colored blouse under a comfortable black vest. She wears her shoulder-length hair in a knot at the nape of her neck, and usually has a flat-topped black hat to shade her eyes from the sun. Her hair is a medium shade of brown, with occasional flashes of deeper red and black where the sun hasn't bleached it out. Her eyes are her most unusual feature, being a light gold-brown and almost always touched with humor.
When she is in latrani form, she appears to be a medium-sized coyote. Her coat is medium brown with black markings, and deep red highlights throughout. Her eyes are golden.

Personality: Kit doesn't seem to take things too seriously. She laughs easily, both at herself and with (and at) others. She has a broad sense of humor, occasionally bawdy, occasionally dry, but nearly always present. She has a penchant for playing small, harmless tricks in order to watch the results, though she is not willfully malicious in her practical jokes. She enjoys music with abandon, and is quick to dance, alone or with others. She is intently curious about everything in town, especially newcomers.

Background: Kit is new in Four Corners, having arrived on horseback a number of weeks ago. When asked about her past and where she's from, she has a tendency to smile, wave broadly over her shoulder, and say, "Back there, somewhere." From her vagueness about her past and her scrutiny of the people of the town, it almost seems as though she's looking for someone.

Abilities: Kit is a werecoyote (or Nuwisha), though this is not common knowledge to the people of Four Corners - humans tend not to understand that sort of thing. She can use her abilities in several ways: she can "shift" slightly towards coyote in order to augment her sense of smell, sight and sound while maintaining a completely human appearance (though in doing so her animal nature comes closer to the surface and those who are sensitive to it can perceive something different about her); she can assume her crinos (halfway) form, with a humanoid body but a canid head, tail, and a covering of fur; she can also go to full latrani (coyote) form, with the intelligence and memory of her human form. Unlike werewolves - the Garou, as Kit knows them - werecoyotes are not affected by silver, which sort of makes up for them being much smaller and weaker than their werewolf cousins.

Quirks: Kit isn't a very good rider. She does okay on her own horse, a dappled indian pony she calls Tim, but when she tries to ride other horses, they act very nervous and she has a hard time handling them, due to her were-nature. She loves moonlight, the stars, and the dark blanket that night brings to the land, and has been seen riding out of town after dark to enjoy the quiet solitude. She does odds-and-ends chores for various stores in town, when the work is available and the mood strikes her.
