You sit, watching the at first seemingly silly 11-season-old squirrel nattering away on the subject of quantum theory, a thing seldom explored by one so young. His blue eyes gleam in the midday sun as he continues talking, holding the fearless glint of battle in them.
His name is Riao Carello Swordflash, son of Jenn and Thistledown. As he talks, seeming for all the world like a walking thesaurus, he continuously fingers a sort of golden talisman on his neck, with the picture of a sappire pommel stone on it. You spy the same pommel stone on the sword that is strapped to his back.
The sword holds a shimmering blade with the name RIAO inscribed on it, branded into it to be displayed forever to whoever takes even a glance at the shining sword. The handle, he explains, was his father's, but the blade was fashioned by Lord Sagaxus of Salamandastron. It has a triple-black-bound handle, and a beautiful hilt of pure silver with two round ends sending rays of sunlight scattering in all directions.
He is garbed in a green novice's habit that has, unlike most habits, silver embroidery, which he says is to remind him to see the silver lining in any situation. His russet-hued fur almost seems to shine, though maybe it may just be the late noon light.
He keeps unconsiously rhyming his words every so often, showing great aptitude for the awe-inspiring and sometimes amusing profession of a poet. His favorite colors are blue and orange, blue because of his eyes that he inherited from his father, and orange? Just because.
He holds in his left paw a crest, showing his sword and his insignia, a blue letter "R". It was constructed and drawn by Thistle Longfaith, he tells you. His eyes appear to look right through you, but still appear Dibbunish.
Concisely, the one thing that sums Riao up is: Riao. Born by a RIVER (RIaO; traveled to the ABBEY (riAo).
