Appearance:

Somewhat small for a typical Tabaxi, Dorris is a white, lion-like Tabaxi who stands around five and a half feet tall. She usually dresses in loose, comfortable robes befitting of her wizardry and scribe duties, but it's actually just so she can nap wherever she wants.

Personality:

Somewhat of an airhead, she's surprisingly selfless. She doesn't care so much about luxury or rewards, and is more than happy to just have a place to stay, food to eat, and a spot in the sun to sleep. She can get pretty sarcastic and cynical at times, but it's usually in good fun. She loves to sit and people watch; it's not uncommon for her to just stay silent during conversations so she can just listen. There's a lot you can learn from just watching! When she does speak, though, she does her best to be formal. It's a hard habit to break.

Background:

Dorris Aalikar Aranis was born to a poor family with too many children and not enough money to support them, many of them passed onto orphanages. With plenty of time to spare, she took to learning all she could, fascinated by magics and sciences alike. She was adopted by an Aasimar professor and a human scholar who named her Dorris. She grew up as any other studious child in Neverwinter and excelled in her studies all through life. Unfortunately, going through school with such ease caused her to seem far more lax than she actually is. At a glance, she's something of a bum always looking for an excuse to take a break, but in reality? She's an extremely diligent, hard worker with a streak of perfectionism. The reason she always seems so sleepy and absentminded is from her habit to stay up late into the night getting all her work and studies done. Even when "napping," she's actually spending most of that time doing menial tasks through and with her familiar, Pipit, who often takes the form of a house cat.

After turning 20 years old, she found work at the Syndicate of the Bronze Jade in Neverwinter to hone her skills as a wizard. The small syndicate took pride in having such an asset among their ranks that so proficiently took care of all the bookkeeping, scheduling, planning, organizing, and all sorts of paperwork even if it happened during the odd hours of the night. She didn't mind the constant busy work, happily taking it upon herself to be the backbone of the syndicate, but after a few years, she needed something new. She hopes to have a bit less of a workload at the Glassfang Syndicate. Maybe someday she'll aim to volunteer for some bookkeeping, but for now she's more interested in the "typical" syndicate life.
