Alouette
“I am a feather on the bright sky
I am the blue horse that runs in the plain
I am the fish that rolls, shining, in the water
I am the shadow that follows a child
I am the evening light, the lustre of meadows
I am an eagle playing with the wind
I am a cluster of bright beads
I am the farthest star
I am the cold of dawn
I am the roaring of the rain
I am the glitter on the crust of the snow
I am the long track of the moon in a lake
I am a flame of four colors
I am a deer standing away in the dusk
I am a field of sumac and the pomme blanche
I am an angle of geese in the winter sky
I am the hunger of a young wolf
I am the whole dream of these things
You see, I am alive, I am alive
I stand in good relation to the earth
I stand in good relation to the gods
I stand in good relation to all that is beautiful
I stand in good relation to the daughter of Tsen-tainte
You see, I am alive, I am alive”

Appearance
The only interesting thing about Lou are the scars throughout her body from when she was mauled by a bear after being sent as a sacrifice for a mountain god. The healing was different, beyond mortal comprehension, like fixing a broken vase with liquid gold bringing the cracked pieces together. Normally, the golden lines do little more than shimmer, but sometimes during times of panic, eyes appear. They’re harmless, really.

Personality
Early riser, reserved, soft-spoken, aloof, clever, introvert, prefers anger over sadness but will still punch someone while crying, and, perhaps best of all, quick to believe in the goodness of others.
