Personality:

1. Shy and mostly introverted: Bess is not much of a people person and is bad at dealing with social interactions. For this very reason, she enjoys the isolation of the mountains where she can just... be. It takes a lot to get her out of her shell but once you get past her initially quiet, defensive shell, she is the sweetest girl you've ever known with a lot of warmth to give.

2. Passionate Sportsman: Bess adores both skiing and snowboarding. It gives her a feeling of freedom and unrestrained fun that nothing else in the world gives her. She has travelled all over the country to scale different mountains and ride their ski trails no matter how challenging or hard to reach. Bess gets excited when talking about snowsports and is eager to get other people into the hobby if they show interest.

3. Cozy and cuddly: When not out on the slopes, Bess likes to sit by the campfire and make S'mores, play card or boardgames in a warm log cabin or spend the evening snuggled up with a warm blanket, hot cocoa and a crackling fireplace. She is big into cuddling and gives the best hugs. If possible, she only wears the most soft and comfortable sweaters and slippers.

4. Loyal to a fault: If one enters into Bess' friend circle, you will have a friend for life. Bess goes above and beyond for the people she likes and cares about. She will defend you from people talking bad about her friends and only hightlight your best traits when talking about you to others.

Background: Bess is a student from out of state and majors in excercise science. She comes from a very rural town with not much going on and not much to do, especially for someone who really likes to stay active and wants to see more of the world. That's why multiple times in the year, she takes a train, bus or plane to various ski resorts to follow her main passion and favorite hobby, snowsports. She has skied and snowboarded down many different mountains across the country. But despite being so adventurous and thrillseeking, she has never been good at communication and is often incapable of handling confrontation. Currently, she is in Faro Point to spend her vacation there after having heard that there are many exhilarating slopes to be found there. She is renting a cozy ski lodge and plans to spend the next few weeks there.

Skills: Skiing and snowboarding. A vast knowledge of mountains and winter spots worth visiting. Knowledgable about excercise and the human body, knowing a lot about pressure points and how to give great massages.

Likes: Mountains, snow and winter in general. Hot cocoa and everything soft, warm and cozy. Classic board and card games which she gets very competitive with. Cuddling up under a blanket near fireplaces. Watching the sun rise over mountaintops. Quiet and isolated places. Sticking up for others.

Dislikes: Confrontation and yelling. Sitting around without anything to do. Crowded places. The noise of big cities. Disrespect towards parents, service staff and friends.

Quirks: Plays with her long hair a lot, especially when she's nervous. Knocks against doorframes occasionally with her horns. Swipes her tail when she's happy.

Speech: Usually soft and sweet tone of voice. Often speaks so quiet that many are unable to hear her. Mumbles to herself often, usually when she is considering hard what to say.
