Alpa Wintersfifth is a Second Circle Hap'ti who lives in [Farm Settlement]. They are an empathic yet socially awkward person who devouts themselves to faith as well as helping others. They nest with Tisna and Yukaruna.

Appearance

Alpa is short even by Hap'ti standards. They are somewhat pudgy but many still describe them as sickly-looking. They have bronze colored fur with white patches on their ears and limbs, with a reduced white-furred section on their abdomen. They have lop ears which are larger than average.

Alpa's usual outfit consists of a single piece of clothing, a cape that can also be used as a shawl. They occasionally wear a necklace with an iridescent stone attached to it.

History

Alpa's Fifth Circle parents died early in their childhood during Niku'an City incident. After that they were raised primarily by PRIEST, a Second Circle Liyap'ti who is an influential figure in Farm Settlement. At some point PRIEST also adopted WARRIOR whom Alpa views as an older brother. Alpa was accepted into the Second Circle after their Blooming despite receiving a few endorsements from the First. They formed a nest with their childhood friend Tisna and the First Circle Yukaruna whom Alpa did not know very well at the time.

Description

Personality

Alpa is very empathic and has a deep love for people despite having difficulty communicating with them. Their lop ears make it difficult for them to express emotion naturally, causing many people to label them as aloof or untrustworthy at first glance. To compensate, they often exagerate their facial expressions, something other Hap'ti do not usually do. They go out of their way to offer their help to all despite being rejected often. After interacting with someone for the first time, Alpa will write down their profile on a clay tablet and study it in order to pick up their personal communication style. They are made anxious by the slightest change of behavior in someone they thought they understood well, and will abruptly leave conversations or reply in an unconventional manner in order to gather more data.

Alpa's favorite pastime is reading. They are sometimes able to convince First Circle workers who have a soft spot for them to sneak them into First Circle classes. They also enjoy cooking.

Beliefs

Alpa is a devout follower of Sunscripture. They have memorized all of the major folklore and myths pertaining to it and participate in sermons often. They collect stories and discuss them with PRIEST on a regular basis. They do not condemn those who are not as passionate about Sunscripture as them, instead seeing it as an oportunity for them to be the one who instills that interest in others. They hold their ground when it comes to taboos but will still put their reservations aside if it means helping someone (and deal with the guilt later).

Skills

Alpa possesses an extremely good memory. Combined with their devotion to Sunscripture, it results in them having a great variety of different spells memorized at all times. They use those spells to help people from all Circles whenever they get assigned as a community channeler, which is their favorite job in the Second Circle. They are adept in responding to others' feelings and changing their mannerisms to make them feel more at ease.
