Physical Description
Foal has, nearly always, a scrappy, dusty, hodge-podge look about her. Her dark brown hair falls to her shoulders, wavy and scruffy and her large, gray eyes are lively, curious, and bright. Foal's fair skin is often smudged with dust or dirt and a few freckles. She's of average build, with a slim, lithe figure. Though her figure is usually hidden beneath a hodge-podge mix of troubadour's garb, often oversized men's clothing and more than a little worn. In fact, her attire can, at times, look a little ridiculous: but automatically marks her as someone not to be taken too seriously. Which suits her just fine. Calf-high green leather boots, colorful harlequin stockings/tights, variously colored over-sized belted tunics, a cowl and a short cloak and, at times, even a feathered floppy hat. When she performs, Foal paints her face to accentuate her expression: red cheeks, accentuated pink lips, and eyes thickly lined in coal (though she does not paint her face white, like some).

She has a different get-up when she's up to 'good.' The baggy and rather 'in-the-way' hodge-podge clothing of the troubadour are replaced with more utilitarian, form-fitting clothing, mostly men's and still a bit shabby, but more suitable to action!

Personality
Need to play her a bit first...

Magic/Abilities
Foal has no "proper" magic, like a mage might, but she has lots of magic tricks! Sleight-of-hand, illusions, and the like. She knows several songs and poems and rhymes, stories tragic and comedic, jokes, shadow plays and pantomimes. She can play the fiddle and reed flute - both of which she carries with her - and, when she gets her hands on one, knows a few tunes on the harp.

Less expected of a troubadour, Foal is handy with a sword and with a bow-and-arrow, though she's not exactly a 'master' at either. Hidden beneath the saddle blankets of Aristoxenus is a mid-length sword that once belonged to her brother, and she knows how to use it.

Foal is also an excellent juggler.

Relationships
Terrwyn - Dragon. A small, dog-sized dragon (not including tail and wingspan) with dark red scales and bright golden eyes. Terrwyn is Foal's traveling and performing companion. He can produce fire and smoke, a handy addition to any show.

Aristoxenus the Wise - Mule. Pack animal and saddle mule, depending on what's needed of him.

History
Forthcoming...
