I can't believe it's time of year again! Here's my nicheling, Rokir. (In advance, I'm sorry to whoever ends up drawing him) He comes from a tribe of prickly berry-pickers and was born after the death of a bearyena that his parents (and other tribemates) killed. He's considered a bit unusual since he looks so different from his grandparents, the founders, and doesn't really communicate with his family members much aside from his father, and that's just because of his mole-hunting skills. Rokir lives for the hunt and is interested in killing a bearyena for the glory and respect it will bring him, even though no one else treats the original bearyena killers differently and his peers already respect him for contributing to the food supply, but haven't had the chance to show it because he never talks to them. (I think that's the second gilled nicheling I've had who really likes hunting...)
If whoever ends up drawing him doesn't mind it, I'd love if you could put him in one of those silly little winter coats for dogs, but that's up to you.
