Lin

Lin is a slippery little woman, with eyes like a hawk and a head for terrain that keeps her oriented no matter how far she goes and how lost people try to make her. She loves nothing more than to be out on a patrol, discovering all the things the enemy would like her to remain unaware of. The thrill of controlled danger, the rush of laying a trap no one expects, the pride in gathering invaluable information, all of it tumbles into a heady dose of adrenaline that's more addictive than any drug for Lin.

So focused on her work, is Lin, that she rarely takes a break, coming back to the Clan at odd times, and often staying only long enough to report in full detail to Sentinel (Chava') before going back out again. When in the company of others, she's often reserved and attentive, always watching everything with the same focus she gives to her scouting forays. This focus tends to disconcert other people, so she has a tendency to keep to herself, being the only active, dedicated scout in the Guard so far.

Lin was employed at an early age as a scout for the military, learning the bow, sling, and snare to help keep her alive and fed while out on long patrol. Child of foresters, and having grown up in a forest herself, she feels much more at home on a patrol than in any compound, no matter how comfortable.

To her, being called bond was just another path in a collection of paths she could have taken, none much worse than others.
