Personality: |
The moment that Ralu was old enough to leave his caretaker, he fled into the shadows of the night and didn't look back. He doesn't just like having space to himself, he needs it in an instinctual way that he can't put words to. Ralu feels most free when he is traveling the countryside, and he isn't keen to settle in one location forever... but he does feel a tug towards finding hunting grounds that mimic dark, cramped spaces, and when he dreams, he dreams of the deep thrum of beating wings surrounding him and keeping him warm.
Ralu is not completely a loner. He has a need for social fulfillment that his instincts are at odds with, and so he's worked hard to keep in contact with those he befriended in his childhood. A friendship with Ralu is like a friendship with a penpal, or perhaps a neighbourhood cat. Every so often, he brushes at the minds of his friends with his mind from a great distance, seeking a conversation. He likes to know that others still think of him, though he does little to meet them face-to-face. Instead, he is an excellent listener from afar, and to those who enjoy an adventure, he often has much to tell of far-away places. |
