B'jaern has standard features for one of his kind all except for the minute difference in the length of his tail. An accident in his youth caused the severing of a small portion of it. His face is often dirty through all the numerous of errands he and his brother Montari perform for local entreprenuers. In moments of quiet contemplation, he can sometimes be seen clutching his mother's keepsake from around his neck.

History

B'jaern's foster mother Mimori Mori returned to her family homestead in 1558 after escaping from the outbreak and destruction of Urlyskyr Prison, but she did not return alone. She brought with her an orphaned miqo'te babe that was presumed to be the catalyst of the debacle and decided the child deserved a better life for what it was destined for. The days of her rebellious Ala Mhigo insurgency life began to take it's toll and she decided it was time to settle down. She eventually had a child of her own and raised her two sons together on the farm.

Early childhood for B'jaern consisted of learning the lay of the land around the farm and hard work associated with producing a successful yield. Tilling fields, collecting wood, feeding their two chocobos as well as other crafting pursuits became second nature. In his early teens Mimori began to notice B'jaern's affinity for archery. Being an adept herself she encouraged and took him under her wing on trips into the forest and teaching him the art of tracking and attuning his sensibilities to the pulse and cycle of the forest and it's denizens. During the Bahamut calamity the farm was razed and the Mori windmill was utterly obliterated with B'jaern's foster father and grandfather caught in the devastation.

Behavior

Somewhat shy around other races (especially Tribal Miqo'te), B'jaern finds himself more comfortable around Lallafel. He exhibits their mannerisms and know more about their culture than his own. At times he can be impetuous and stubborn when haggling for a cheaper deal or silently detached when he has his moments of introspection of who he is and his purpose in the world around him. A majority of the time he tries to be attentive and silent letting his worth ethic and actions speak for him. He and Montari have had somewhat of a dubious reputation of being vigilante pranksters when rumors of price gouging infect the local area. In moments of extreme frustration his tail begins to throb and a subtle smell of burnt cat hair follows him around leading to chuckles from locals who know him. On nights of the full moon the smell of lilac has always arisen from him on other nights such as the Hunter's moon B'jaern recalls horrible images becoming unusually agitated and distant.

Signature Prank: Opo-Opo pheromone. Attracts Opo-opos. The only way to get rid of the smell is to thoroughly wash clothing.

Affiliations

B'jaern is a member of the Mori family who owns a homestead a couple miles south of the marketplace. He is a tracker for many craftsman in the local area as well as a courier and runner assisting the Moogles with deliveries when he can. As a former member of the White Wolves he has just recently been initiated into the God's Quiver under Bowlord Lewin but still mentors young Gridanian children in the ways of the bow and the laws of the forest. The Bowlord see's potential with the young Miqo'te but recognizes the propensity he and his brother have for vindictive pranks that could get garner unwanted attention from his superiors and question his judgment.

Rumors

Supposedly B'jaern and his brother have been asking locals if they've seen the white opu-opu, somewhat of a local campfire tale to warn travelers to keep an eye on their packs. Most of the reception to them have been dismissive assuming its just another one if the pair's tall tales. The brothers claim that this opu-opu is highly intelligent for it's kind, though not overly dangerous.
