Description
Slight and slender, this young woman might be confused for a sylph of the woods. Sun kissed hair is usually pulled back into a knot or ponytail of some kind, the look more practical than fashionable. Dark lashes frame eyes the color of amber, a keen intellect reflected in her gaze. Her face is built on delicate lines and sharp angles, giving her a fragile beauty that belies her strength. She may be slender, but there are muscles underneath the soft golden tan of her skin. Her movements display a quiet confidence, despite the slight limp that plagues her walk.
Personality
Strength through adversity, indomitable cheerfulness and an ability to be professional as needed. Paired with an insightful, quirky sense of humor, Shae was a popular child who grew into a well liked young woman. She became a Tracker well before her majority, possessing a keen eye and facility training the hunting hounds used in the work, Shae committed to their ranks and quickly became one to watch. This might have gone to her head, but her innate sense of right and wrong kept her from abusing any nascent power she might have wielded.
Background
The only child born to Harlow and Margerie Keaton, there was an expectation that she would be heir. So it was a surprise to all, including Shae, when her mother encouraged her to explore her own desires, find the things she loved to do and keep her focus there. Shae had always loved spending time in the kennels, working with the hounds, watching the Trackers turn them into effective pack and solo hunters, able to recognize and implement hundreds of commands. Seeing the girl had a light touch, Tamsley, the Master of the Hounds decided to put her to work and over the years impart much of his mastery to her. Shae had a gift with the animals and as she grew, it became a natural thing for her to be seen leading a pack of puppies or a pair of older, experienced hunters into the woods.
When she was fifteen she was placed in her first Tracker pack and despite her youth proved to be one of the stronger huntsmen. She was especially close to the Alpha, a handsome and dashing man by the name Ramsey, their friendship quite obvious to anyone with eyes. As the years passed, people whispered about the wild heir, wondering when she would get experience with the more traditional duties and responsibilities of ruling Oakhaven. The questions proved moot, however, with the discovery of the true Keaton heir. So it was, with her life in front of her, her path to being Master Tracker clear, Shae took a severe injury to her leg in a bandit ambush. The healers did their best and while the wound did heal, Shae has not regained her full mobility or dexterity. Unwilling to be a liability in the field, she has left her pack and accepted an offer from her cousin to come to Arx. She's one of the best trainers the Keatons have and she is determined to be an asset to her family, one way or another.
