Name: Ciphor Poll
Age: Appears to be early 20's (actually 32)
Gender: none
Birthday: Fall 7th
Occupation: Natural Pharmacist
Personality:
Friendly, cheerful, and upbeat, Ciphor is constantly a pleasure to be around. They are genuinely interested in every person they meet, which some might interperate for nosiness instead of the good intentioned curiosity that it is.
Ciphor is quick thinking and highly intelligent, but also highly ignorant and naive. Subtleties of interpersonal relationships and politics between people will escape them, and they have a hard time understanding motivation behind any desire to negatively affect others.
Ciphor gives 100% in everything they choose to do, seeing no reason not to. They are hard working with a great work ethic - but easily distracted. Because of this, Ciphor will often find themselves overextended for multiple projects and helping multiple people. It doesn't help that Ciphor has a hard time saying "no" when someone asks something of them.
Appearance:
Slender, flat chested, smooth faced, and wide eyed, no one can ever tell whether Ciphor is female or male, and they like it that way. Truthfully Ciphor feels no attraction towards being or being with either gender, and has decided that sort of thing is just not applicable to them. Ciphors has wide honest eyes and small nose, but a more defined jaw and the lines of their face tend towards the angular rather than round. This leads to features that could either be interpreted as a cute girl, or a very pretty boy.
They have solidly red hair, more of a dark colour than orange, and shockingly green eyes that are easily their most distinguishable feature. Their hair is cut short, but has a natural tendency to stand up on end.
Despite the fact that Ciphor spends most of their time outside, their pale freckled skin never tans.
Background:
Ciphor has no memory of having parents, and has never missed that which was never there. Ciphor's sister raised them instead, and taught them everything she knew about herbs and natural medicines. Ciphor loved it, and thought the way the human body was intrinsically intertwined with nature was beautiful. Learning more about this was what spurred Ciphor to learn to read on their own free time.
They traveled a lot. Ciphor never understood exactly how poor they were, and that sleeping under the stars and in forests instead of inns was a necessity due to lack of funds, because Ciphor would have never chosen to do anything else. They never went hungry, though, because Ciphor's sister always knew what was edible in the forest surrounding them, and passed that knowledge onto Ciphor.
Eventually one day they were passing through a town, and set up shop on the side of the road temporarily to make custom natural cures. Most people passing by thought that it was a hoax, not knowing that the remedies would actually make them feel better, but one man stopped by and talked to them. Ciphor didn't know it then, but that was start of his sister and this man falling in love. They stayed in that town for a very long time, until the two of them had married, at which point Ciphor excused themself to continue traveling. They didn't want to be a burden, or a freeloader, and knew they would never feel comfortable in a situation where they were mooching of of their sister.
So Ciphor continued on, and for the longest time, never found a home of their own. After many years, Ciphor found themselves at the end of the road - Meadow View. And while they have been here for less than a year, Ciphor hasn't yet felt a need to leave, or keep searching for something new. This could be it, and that would be okay.
Living Arrangements:
Ciphor isn't very comfortable sleeping in doors, and ends up sleeping up in a tree in the nearby hills more often than not. They keep all of their worldy belongings (which is very little) in a corner at the back of their store.
If it's raining hard or similar, and Ciphor absolutely has to sleep inside, they roll out a blanket on the floor of the backroom of the store.
