When he first came to the tribe, River had very little to say and was withdrawn. Now, after adjusting, he is often found going from elf to elf asking questions, and trying to soak up what he can of a free life. He remains a bit wary of his tribemates even though he is in awe of their lives, though he is slow to trust, he yearns to make friends and find a place in the tribe. River has found tribe life a bit slow at times, and is not used to be left to his own devices without someone yelling at him, or pushing him to go faster, or work harder. He aims to please everyone, and is afraid that he will upset the tribe, disappoint them, or not be good enough. River is learning to use a bow, and hoping for his first wolf friend to be found soon. Daylight is still hard for him, and the dark colors he wears help him to blend in with the trees and plants…..preferring to stick to the shadows….or be up at night. Despite having grown up on the receiving end of cruelty and some violence, River is a very peaceful elf. He would rather send that speak if he has the chance…most likely as a result of having his every move and word closely watched……. He is also fiercely protective of his remaining family and the elves he was held captive with.   History: River was born in the troll caves, into a life of slavery. He was named partly in honor of his mother, Rivulet, and partly because rivers run free and wild. A river can change its course over time, and help carve the landscape around them—and his parents hoped he could one day. A river can be a source of food and water, or when it’s swollen from rains and snow melt it can be a force of destruction. But no matter what, a river will always return to a natural and peaceful state. His father died trying to protect River and his sister from being taken away by the trolls. Rivulet, his mother, gave up on life after her cubs were taken, and the trolls returned River to her in the hope it would give her something to live for. River was chosen to be returned because he was male, and the trolls hoped he would grow strong and be more useful to them in the mines. In the 22 years that River lived as a slave in the troll caves, he was allowed one meeting with his sister, and that was brief. Every now and then he caught a glimpse of her and it gives him something to hope for. The only elves that River knew while growing up were his fellow captives…..Rivulet, Goldstar, Wolfears and Vision, Whitedoe, and Greenthorn. Food was very scarce, and River stalked, tracked, sometimes stole, and hunted what mice, rodents or other food he could while working to try and help with the hunger. He grew up never knowing of the forests except in stories from his fellow captives, never having a wolf-bond, and being driven to work harder and harder to mine the caves and help create new areas for the trolls. River has known no hunt, and very little hope in his 22 years, and he spent a good deal of his time absorbed in the wolf thought more as a survival tool than a choice. The clothes he wore were pieced together from rags discarded by the trolls, and having never known daylight, finds the shadows much more to his liking.
