Atop her head, tilted by her tied up ponytail, rested a Frayed Huntsman Cap. The hat appeared old and worn, perhaps something passed down to her by a parent or sibling. Or it may have been something purchased from a yard sale or a ma and pa shop. Something used and unwanted. Some may think I'm implying that this is what the girl represents.
But I'm not.
Rinni Faithe came from a moderate family. Not wealthy but had enough to get by. In all honesty, her only downfall was her shy nature and her ability to see good in everyone she meets. Many may call this blind, youthful, naivety. She calls it empathy. She finds it hard to believe anyone is born evil. There must be good inside us all if we look, right?
Trailing behind her at ankle height walked a snow-white six-tailed fox with pale blue paws. She had large blue eyes that reminded one of the sapphires. Inside her ears was a tuft of white fur with blue behind it, making up the inside of her ears. She had a prominent nose that looked like a mini sapphire. Atop her head was curly white hair that matched the wispy appearance of her six tails.
The streets were emptying out, as people headed home for dinner or other purposes. Rinni had thought she should probably do the same before her parents sent her brother out to find her. The thought caused the girl to roll her eyes. She wasn't a kid anymore. She was a Ranger. She wished they'd recognize that and stop treating her like their baby girl. She felt Masado understood, having gone through that himself as a child. But, even still he was just as protective.
She sighed and sat on a park bench, gazing up at the evening sky. It was so peaceful out here right now. She wished every day could feel this calm. As she stared at the sky, the fox-creature jumped up on the bench and crawled into her lap where it was greeted promptly by a hand stroking its back.
Rinni smiled softly as she and her companion Winter gazed up at the lovely sky together.
