Jem Moss
I'd just like to say a personal Thanks to Viresse for providing my beautiful pics for me. I really appreciate it!
Appearance:
- Tall and slender with ivory skin and a very smooth complexion and extremely fine and delicate bone structure. Must use care often, although quite durable, she may break bones or injure herself in any falls. Her hair is a red-gold sunset colour as is more natural for the elves of the Tethinrhim tribe. Her eyes, unlike the hazel of the Tethinrhim, are a crystal uncertain blue which changes with her moods. As is natural for a wood elf she wears shades of the forest: light greens and shadowy greys and some but very few browns usually appearing on her upper and lower limbs to blend with the earth and branches. She often wears full cover on her arms and legs because her fair complexion does not blend as easily with the surroundings of her natural home.

Personality:
- Very friendly and open to other races. Feels it is her duty to care for those weaker or in need. At times a little rash in her decisions, a little spontaneous and adventure loving. Can get herself into a lot of trouble at times for her quick ill thought out decisions and plans. Although sometimes her actions may turn to disaster her intentions are always good. Her heart is very large and she finds room for every creature. As a child, her parents had to check for animals running about their lodging because she would take any sick or injured ones in to be cared for. She is also very anti-violence and refuses to hurt or injure anything or anyone if she can help it. In threatening situations she will resort only to enough violence to defend herself and get away quickly, trying not to cause more than the necessary harm even to the attacker(s).

Learned Abilities:
- Raised by two foster parents she learned the basics of healing through helping her parents as they tended those who came to them from time to time for help. She has learned a spattering of various languages, aside from the native Ylffer of her tribe and common elven tongue of Styrásh, due to the many peoples she met who came for her parents healing aide. After learning of her Gift, she agreed to be trained in the arts of Weaving and has learned the skills of an Initiate so far in her training. She has mastered Weaving with the aide of needles and looms, but is still coping with hand-weaving the strands of magic. The spells she weaves last only temporarily and are very thin and faulty compared to the strong threads of magic woven together by the full Weavers.

Natural Abilities:
- As other wood elves she is able to move stealthily and silently within the forest moving with a swaying movement to match that of the trees. She is also a good climber and can scale trees with the agility of the squirrels and the speed that none but an elf could master. Her gracefulness and light-footed-ness, as comes natural to the elves, keeps her dancing lightly upon the ground leaving few noticeable tracks if any. Because most of her time is spent wandering among the treetops it is very rare you would ever find any traces of her travels.

History:
Jem was found by her two foster parents on the edge of the Quallian Forest, and taken in to be raised as one of their own. They were used to finding odd creatures and strange travellers of sort and considered this just another weary soul in need of their help. She was a trial for her parents as a young child, crying often and waking up in the night screaming for no reason they could understand. However, as she grew out of this and got older, she lived a quiet, healthy life with her parents helping them heal those who came for their aide. During the days she wasn't helping her parents, she spent hours absorbed in books or speaking with the travellers who lodged in their home from time to time, hearing stories of adventure and great feats. As a child will, she also got herself into as much mischief as was possible. She would bring home even the more dangerous creatures as pets or to be taken care of because of injuries or sickness. Her heart was open for anything and everything she came across.
One day as she was walking she came across two men and one woman, covered in a magical haze. She was asked many questions about her childhood and then told of the powers she had within herself. She was invited to learn the Art of Weaving, and agreed, longing to find a place to fit in with the world at last. Her parents were told she was a very bright and intelligent girl and were asked for her apprenticeship to a Master of Philosophy and Thought. Naturally amazed and proud of their daughter they were inclined to agree and sent Jem off to her new bright-looking future.
Jem began her training as a Weaver and did quite well working with the looms and needles as they do in the first 5 years. When it came time to begin working with her hands she found it challenging but worked harder determined to master the skill. After ten years Jem was sent off to work in the world. She found her place as she always had, helping and healing others as came natural to her good-natured soul. Jem travelled a lot, using her newly achieved powers to help those in need and aide her in her journey. She travelled alone and quietly, not wanting to be noticed or found by those that could hurt or overcome her. She had a great fear, especially, of the Bugs. And so she travelled only rarely and very briefly on the Web in times of great need. Her years outside of the temple are nearing an end now but she will continue to work in the world until she has proven herself worthy of the Weaver status and is fully able to survive on her own.
