Ter Mar
Ter Mar is an ottsel (otter+weasel) of royal lineage. As such, many may expect her to have had an easy childhood. This was not the case however. Born into the House of Mar, in the desert city of Spargus, she has spent most of her life training hard to prove her worth to her name, learning how to fight against larger opponents and how best to find semi-hidden objects in the harsh, unforgiving desert.
All her training culminated upon her 16th birthday, when she would finally be put to the test in the Arena of Death. Even with her royal blood, that alone would not save her from exile should she fail. Spargus is a city where all are treated equal, and that equality comes in the form of a catch all. In Spargus, your class does not matter, nor does your race, nor your species nor gender. All that matters in the city, is if you are useful. It is all the city cares about in regards to you, for it is all the desert cares for. If you fail in being useful, then you are dead weight, and will sooner cost the city resources than you would in procuring more for them.
