An unusual name is what most people think upon hearing it spoken though Russet usually tries his best to help people forget his surname. Russet is a male skunk about 5 foot 9 inches tall, he has pale blue eyes and masses of head fur which his ears pokes through. Overall he has a slim build though unusual for a skunk his tail stands a good two feet above his head and is curled up at the end keeping at least half a foot of its true length hidden. Russet takes pride in his tail and very rarely stands it being played with or messed with except by a very few close friends of his. He can be a shy, timid person when he is first introduced to people though he usually livens up once he is comfortable and is a remarkably nice person to know. He is kind, caring and loving with a sunny personality to match, his only real flaw is his insecurity and low self esteem. He can sometimes find himself becoming down and depressed on those lonely evenings at home studying, but he knows he always has friends who will happily tell him how special and important a friend he is to them and he usually bounces right back.

He can usually be found wandering a garden somewhere whether it be rain or shine he just loves the smell of a well tended garden or the feel of rain falling upon him. His wardrobe is as wide ranging as his gentle spirit and wish to be friends with all that are friendly in return. Depending on his mood and surroundings he could be wearing something tight and revealing for a night out or a long flowing gown or robe to snuggle up warmly in by a fire to read a good book. Trousers and Jumpers in winter, shorts and t- shirts in the summer, trunks in the pool or full evening wear with plumed hats and cape anything and everything this skunk can be expected to wear.

Now we come to the secret that makes Russet such an unusual mammal, his power though very few know of it as he keeps it hidden from as many as he can. He is scared that people might ask of him miracles he could not perform or wish to make use of it to their own ends. He is yet to discover a limit to his power, he can manipulate energy in the form of elements and weather, his healing abilities are rumoured to be astounding yet hidden, he has prophetic dreams of a nature that leave him drained and fearful at their accuracy. He can transform his form or that of others though he has yet to even find a reason to change anything. He also has a large affinity with the moon and its phases.

The source of his power is secret he has yet to tell any one fearful within himself at what they might think. Though many of his close friends believe it may be related to his strange colouring for unlike a normal skunk his fur can fade and change depending on his mood. Usually he appears as one would expect a Skunk to be, Velvet Black Fur all over except for a white stripe running from his nose, over his head and down his back and tail. However it has been known for Russets black to fade to an almost grey when he is upset and to lighten to purple and on one very rare occasion to a sky blue matched by a pink stripe. Though with a conscious thought Russet can revert back to his natural colouring. The second theory floating around has the source of this skunks unusual powers linked to the jewel laden Coronet of the Elements and the glowing Sapphire that is the source of light for his home. The Coronet is a simple silver band set with a pearl, emerald, sapphire, ruby and diamond carved into the ancient symbols of the elements.

Russet's home is a tall lighthouse on a cliff top in far southern Aredria standing tall above a small town. The tower and its buildings are a brilliant white marble with sapphire bands and its light is a deep blue as it shines from within the mysterious sapphire lantern that is kept sealed atop a pedestal within the highest chamber of the lighthouse.

There you have him, Russet ti Nostor ei Vardenai a kind gentle spirit, friend to all who's only wish is to try and make new friends.
