Hello everybody! I joined this site a year ago, and didn't post until now...I'm embarrased 
I love roleplaying, so I'll start as soon as possible!
Say hi to my characters...
Name: Maia
Species: Squirrel
Appearance: A pretty maid of normal height, and is about eighteen. She wears a pink dress and has a lot of jewelry on, such as a pink pearl necklace, a turquoise bracelet, and bronze earrings. She's a red-brown color, like most squirrels, and has soft, gentle brown eyes... when she's sane.
Weapons: A double-bladed axe and a few daggers which she throws with frightening accuracy.
Personality: On the surface, she's a sweet, gentle, outgoing squirrelmaid. She appears to be quite understanding, helpful, kind, and naive...but below the surface...
She's actually a homicidal wreck. Her upbringing has resulted in, including a deep hatred of vermin, severe mental instability, and anyone who harms her darling Elito is in for a whole lot of pain. She rarely minds killing innocent beasts, and if they're coming between her and her beloved, out comes the axe. She will do anything, ANYTHING for him, and always has his best interests at heart... whether he thinks so or not.
History: She was raised as a slave under a rat king, and from a young age was made to do heavy, backbreaking work under the cruel whip of the overseer. When she was five she witnessed her father being beaten to death for a mistake he made, and when she was eight she held her mother as she died of overwork.
Then it was just her and her big brother. Her brother had always loved her and protected her, defending her from the whip as much as he could, shouldering some of her work, and always giving her part of his food. But he grew more weak as the additional burden of his sister sapped his life, until he feared he was going to be put to death when he could no longer work. He worried and fretted about his sister and what she was going to do when he died, and came to a solution.
When one of the overseers wasn't looking, he stole a small knife, and at night, when his sister was sleeping, tried to murder her.
She woke up and fought him off, and, tears in her eyes, asked him why he was doing this. His answer was that if she was dead, she wouldn't have to work anymore and no would hurt her, she would be at peace. Then he stabbed himself, as he thought she would be happier that her brother who had tried to kill her was gone.
And that night, as she knelt in her brother's blood, cradling his head, telling him she loved him and begging him to come back, something inside her snapped.
A little later she took the knife, picked the lock on the cell, and fled into the night.
She ran for days, barely stopping, until she collapsed from exhaustion. There she was taken in by a kindly squirrel family and nursed back to health, where she fell deeply in love with the son of the family, a lad her age called Elito.
Believing he wouldn't leave her if he didn't have anything else to love, she murdered his family when he was gone one day and said that vermin did it. Then they struck out on their own.
Name: Elito Wintertree
Species: Squirrel
Appearance: A handsome, tall lad, wearing a green waistcoat and gold earring in one ear. Has dark purple eyes, which Maia often describes as "amethyst".
His fur is slightly lighter than most squirrels, giving it a gold sheen in sunlight.
Weapons: a double-pronged sword.
Personality: Is noble and wants to protect the innocent and weak, as his father taught him. He tries to be kind and understanding, but after his family was slaughtered became aloof and cold out of sorrow. He despises vermin in all forms, and will not hesitate to kill any he comes across.
However, he genuinely cares about Maia, seeing her as all he has left after his family was killed, and is unaware that she was the cause of their death.
History: He was raised in Mossflower by his parents; and as his father taught him all he knew about swordfighting, he dreamed of going to Redwall and becoming a warrior. One day, his father brought back a unconscious, pretty squirrelmaid and he sat by her bedside as he recovered.
As she grew better, she attached herself to him and called him "her knight", which always him blush. As they grew closer, though, he failed to notice the look in her eyes when she gazed at his parents, even though they treated her as if she was their own daughter.
And one day, when he went off alone to practice swordfighting, he came back and found them dead, stabbed to death. Maia was in the corner, weeping and telling him that vermin had come and and killed them, and from that day on his personality froze up and he became more cold to the world. He took Maia and they walked into Mossflower, and he searches for the vermin who killed his parents, unaware that their killer is already walking beside him.
