The Rakash species was designed by The-Greatest-Mystery as part of her Silhouette Adopts set.

Meet the rakash, a species hailing from the semi-arid grasslands of the Ornathian Wildlands on the Continent of Ellysarin! Ellysarin is more commonly known as Lothen, as Lothen and its various vassals dominate the continent, though there are peoples and nations who exist outside Lothen's influence (primarily the Mireenri and Wolfbred, two peoples that were chased from Lothen in ancient times.)

The rakash is a large, burly beast of burden that has developed a kind of symbiotic relationship with the Wolfbred of the Wildlands rather than true domestication. Rakash born in civilization are a rarity, and usually results from the taming of an unknowingly pregnant female rather than intentional breeding. Males are typically castrated when tamed. A similar example in real life are American Mustangs. Their size is similar to draft horses, bison, and large bear species (polar and grizzly/brown,) and average about six foot at the shoulder/withers. These creatures are deceptively fast, and their pelts consist of earthen tones rather than vibrant colors.

Here is a size reference using Rinkū III:

I don't know what Mystery's exact description of the species concept was, as I usually just go straight off the silhouette, but my initial description was "A bear-sized (ish) mammal with cloven hooves and caracal-like ears." I used horses, bears, wolves, deer (red deer and mule deer), moose and caracal as anatomical references for this piece.

Wild rakash are immensely dangerous, due to both size and temperament, so only Wolfbred who truly need a rakash companion for their tasks should attempt taming one. They are typically one-person animals with a lifespan similar to the span of time Wolfbred spend as adults (puberty until death), so inheriting an animal rather than taming it yourself is an exception rather than an expectation. Scouts and hunters are the most common occupations with tamed animals.

The exact rakash pictured here is Kocalh, a female ridden by Rinkū III Kravdra. Her true reference sheet will be posted once I design her tack which, other than that it will have plenty of turquoise ornamentation because Rinkū likes turquoise jewelry, I haven't much idea about.

Tweety Bird lookin ass

Full Name: Liselath Nerii Tallim (first name, family name, clan name); Liselath Cordova

Nicknames: Lis, Lise, Lisel

I call her all of these, often in the same paragraph, hopefully that’s not too confusing.

Age: 27

Race: Elf

Height: 5’3

Class: Mage; Staff; Primarily Fire Magic

Gender: non-binary; usually presents as female though

Pronouns: she/her + they/them

Nationality: Antivan/Dalish

Faction: Antivan Crows (much to her dismay)

Skills: Singing, Dancing (most genres, Viago prefers her to do ballet but she likes folk dances best, Playing instruments (bass & a few others), medical knowledge: emphasis on healing + birth + pain management.

She’s a perfect spy. She’s cute, unassuming, and fantastic at playing dumb. (Also why Viago liked her, she could practically just ask someone to take a drink of poison). Although she’s less enthusiastic at taking on these roles.

She’s been doing a lot of pyromancy lately too 😅

Languages: Dalish, Antivan, Common

Body/Physically:

Lis is extremely touch averse. She hates being touched and touching others, unless it’s for medical purposes. She’s jumpy when touched and will pull away.

General Behavior: Generally quiet (not from shyness or anxiety, just quiet and observing), appraising stares, stifled laughs, lack of physical contact (might stand a little too far away when talking to you), dancer posture (feet in extended 4th position or 5th position), furrowed brows, gentle smiles, closed body language.

Probably not this extreme of turn out

Flirting: Smiles more, generally talks a bit more, bashful + easily embarrassed. (She’s not typically flirtatious tbh). MAY initiate. She is COMPLETELY oblivious to any attempts to flirt directed at her.

With Established Romantic Partner: Teasing to the max, standing close to, may touch/hold an arm.

With Friends: May stand slightly closer, generally not too different. She just talks and laughs more.

In Combat: She’s great at defensive magic (mind blast and shields) and, being a dancer, she’s quick and agile. A lot of her fighting centers around tiring out her opponents and making them angry at not being able to land a hit, then striking powerfully while they become sloppy from frustration. Her offensive is generally weaker, until she gets hurt- then her anger overrides her reluctance to cause pain.

Dialogue/Speaking

Voice: Liselath has a strong Dalish accent and a somewhat lilted, higher pitch voice. As a child when she was nervous or very excited she would scramble her words together, but since Antivan isn’t her native language she naturally speaks a bit slower and is able to avoid that as an adult.

General: When first meeting someone, or when in the presence of someone like Caterina, she’s very reserved and careful with her words. Some might call her poised, some might think there’s nothing going on up there. Generally very polite, will bow to you.

She’s direct and not long winded, sometimes speaks a bit choppy:

“Won’t take long. Promise. Sit down.”

Vs

“It won’t take long, I promise. Take a seat.”

She’s also prone to making comparisons to herself as to not alienate or upset people, even if this means she’s lying.

With Friends: Like most people, she opens up a lot more once she’s more comfortable. That’s when you’ll hear the swears, the strong opinions, and bad jokes. She likes to tease too.

With Romantic Interests: (same as w/ friends)

Anger: First resort is leaving the situation in a huff, if that’s not possible she’ll cry from frustration. Might scream, but generally wordlessly.

Cursing: Loves it ♥️ any kind is welcome, except she’s unlikely to use “Andraste’s blank” words. She is more apt to use elvish words like “Sylaise’s Breath” or something.

Only time she would avoid cursing is in social situations where it would be considered impolite (children around, etc)

Combat: Simple, short commands, as direct as possible.

“Davrin! Your left!” Or “Neve, behind you!”
