Asha Windstrider
A swift and enigmatic Tabaxi who traverses the grasslands with unmatched grace, Asha serves as a messenger for nomadic tribes and a seeker of forgotten knowledge.
Name: Asha Windstrider
Race: Tabaxi
Role: Scout and Messenger
Age: 24
Appearance: Asha is a slender and athletic Tabaxi with golden fur streaked with black stripes, reminiscent of the tall grasses she calls home. Her emerald-green eyes gleam with curiosity and intelligence, and her movements are as fluid as the swaying grass. Her fur often bears smudges of dirt and grass stains, blending her into the landscape as she darts from hill to hill.
Asha wears a simple but functional outfit of light leathers, decorated with beads and feathers from the nomadic tribes she serves. A scarlet scarf, tied around her neck and trailing behind her as she runs, marks her as a trusted messenger. Her belt is adorned with pouches containing various tools, maps, and small tokens given to her by the people she has aided.
Backstory
Born to a nomadic Tabaxi clan, Asha grew up racing across the Whispering Grasslands, learning its secrets and pathways. As the fastest and most cunning of her kin, she took on the role of scout and messenger, carrying vital information and goods between distant tribes. Over time, her reputation for swiftness and reliability earned her the trust of not only the Tabaxi but also other nomadic groups and wanderers who frequent the region.
Despite her carefree demeanor, Asha harbors a deep curiosity for the history of the grasslands, especially the abandoned wells and ruins scattered across the hills. She believes these remnants hold the stories of the land's forgotten past, and she often combines her scouting with efforts to uncover and preserve this lore. Asha’s blend of light-hearted charm and unyielding determination makes her a valuable ally—or a clever adversary—depending on the party's intentions.
