Redrawing this character every year since her creation in early 2023.
Echino was born on Baryte in a litter of four, being the runt of said litter her parents worried that if she wouldn't survive, and when she did make it to toddler age, they began to instead worry she would simply not be able to amount for much. But as Echino got older and began to understand her parents' fears, she vowed to prove them wrong.
Echino began apprenticeship under a senior hunter in the sept by the name Meloi, and began learning to hunt, trap and fight under the older aviset's guidance. She was a very persistent student, never allowing her failures to keep her from learning, though she gained some scarring along the way. Eventually she reached a point where she was able to hunt on her own, and from there she quickly started rising in the ranks as she trapped all kinds of prey. As she got older she got more ambitious, targeting the larger and more dangerous animals of Baryte. She became a prized trapper within her sept, no longer was she doubted, but still she was driven to do more. She made it her goal to trap every kind of animal there was to trap on Baryte. That goal was, after several years of hunting, completed. And with it..she found the drive to do more still.
She left Baryte behind to hunt new prey elsewhere, and it was during her travels she came across a bounty hunter's guild. It was perfect, a way to keep hunting, but now her targets posed more of a thrilling challenge.
