Physical Description
In her humanoid form, Riyarin is slender and long-limbed with an almost boyish build. Her eyes are almond-shaped, slightly tilted, and bright, like liquid gold, with thick, dark lashes surrounding them and giving them a feral look. Her lips are dark and full. Her hair is a fiery red and very long and wild, reaching the ground in a thick, tangled mess; it's quite a pain to care for, but she refuses to cut it, and will often keep it braided.

Rather than a human's rounded ears, she has long, horse-like ears that are covered in tiny emerald scales. Those same green scales appear in tiny patches on her body, such as beneath her eyes and on her chin. The tiny scales continue down the back of her neck, over her shoulders, down her back, over her bottom, and down the front of her thighs.

Further marking her as distinctly "not human" are the elegant antlers growing from her head and curling backwards. She also possesses a tail, long and whip-like and covered in green scales and tipped with a plume of long red hair.

Her body, for the most part, is human enough, but her human legs taper off into more deer-like legs past the knee. She has delicate cloven hooves surrounded by thick red fur, much like a draft horse.

In her true form, she takes the shape of a delicate, deer-like beast covered in brilliant green scales, with a face caught somewhere between deer-like and dragon-like. She has a thick mane of wild red hair that falls down to dust the ground, and that same plumed, scaly tail. Her teeth are sharp, though her diet is entirely plant-based. She is incapable of consuming flesh.

Riyarin does not often wear clothes, which can be awkward for those she meets. She spends most of her time in her true form.

Personality
Riyarin is painfully honest. In fact, she can't lie. Even if she knew how, she is physically incapable. She also has the annoying ability to tell when other people are lying, and is quite blunt about pointing it out when it happens. She lacks the social graces of knowing when that is and isn't appropriate--in her opinion, the truth is always appropriate! Of course, omitting the truth/withholding information does not count as a lie, both for herself and for others.

She is a quiet creature, and a little shy, wary, and elusive, and can take time to warm up to a person. When she does open up, however, the opposite is true: she can be impossible to shut up.

Though normally a gentle creature, she can become quite fierce when it comes to the defense of an innocent's life--or her own life. And while she refuses to eat flesh, she will not hesitate to kill someone in the defense of her life or the life of another, nor will she intervene if someone she judges as "wicked" falls into a life or death situation.

In the rare social situation, Riyarin is painfully blunt and upfront. She has no filter and just says things as they come to her. She also lacks a lot of understanding of humanity, due to keeping to herself much of the time. She's curious about people, but can be a bit off-putting, because she has a tendency to stare since she doesn't understand that it's rude and uncomfortable, and other such "bad" habits, like an utter lack of boundaries. She lacks social finesse and manners and is socially awkward in the sense that she will likely commit every faux pas under the sun--not out of malice, just out of ignorance. What she knows of humans, she has learned from the odd traveler that has come through her neck of the jungle through the years.

That said, Riyarin is painfully lonely. The other kirin have moved on to their own jungles, leaving her to guard and protect hers. Which is all well and good, except it feels like something is lacking from her life.

Magic/Abilities
-Has a gift of tongues; she can understand, and speak, most Le'raanan languages.
-She cannot lie, and can tell when others are lying. (Of course, if a person is clever, they can get around this. Omitting the truth is not lying, for example, and that goes both ways.)
-She has power over fire, and can breathe fire, as well, even in human form.
-She is invulnerable to fire; in fact, fire heals her.
-Not really an ability, but she believes it is: she believes her power is linked to her hair, and that cutting it will cut her off from her fire. Who knows? Maybe it does. She's never exactly tested it!

Relationships

History
Got abandoned by her kind at a young age and has been alone since then. |: She doesn't know where they went, if they left her, if they were captured, or what.

Has mostly kept to herself since then, but has had brief encounters with humans. She is wary of them, though; some humans have been known to hunt Kirin, either for the glory of it, or to capture them and use them politically as living lie detectors.
