C'tith is a broad-shouldered half-elf with warm brown skin, long black hair braided with brass rings, and pointed ears decorated with small leather cuffs. He wears layered black and oxblood leather, reinforced with soft fur and practical metal studs, all handmade and meticulously maintained. His amber eyes are alert and animal-like, and his expression shifts quickly from distant amusement to dangerous intensity. Within moments of meeting someone, he is likely to check a strap, tighten a buckle, or smooth a piece of leather without realizing he is doing it.

C'tith is blunt, tactile, and intensely observant. He prefers honest discomfort to polite deception and treats craftsmanship as a form of meditation. He is protective of people who clearly communicate their needs and boundaries, but he has little patience for manipulation, entitlement, or anyone who confuses cruelty with strength. In unfamiliar places he seems aloof and predatory, yet around trusted companions he can be playful, unexpectedly gentle, and fascinated by tiny details such as stitching patterns, unusual knots, and the sound of rain on leather.

C'tith was born between worlds, the son of an elven caravan scout and a human tanner who never stayed in one settlement for long. He grew up learning to read weather, tracks, and people, but leather became his first true language. He learned to cure hides, braid cords, shape harnesses, and make carefully fitted gear for travelers, hunters, and consenting adults who preferred their pleasures wrapped in craftsmanship and trust. To C'tith, leather is not merely clothing. It is protection, ritual, restraint, freedom, and proof that something rough can be transformed by patient hands. Years spent beyond settled roads taught him to live by instinct. During one particularly brutal winter, his caravan was attacked by raiders and scattered across the wilderness. C'tith survived alone among wolves and frozen ravines, eating what he could catch and speaking to no one for months. When he finally returned to civilization, he had become feral, watchful, and dangerously comfortable with violence. An old wanderer helped him rediscover speech and community, while a solitary bear taught him that strength need not mean obedience to anyone's rules. Now C'tith travels as a leather worker, hunter, and wandering barbarian. He seeks experiences intense enough to make him feel alive, but still carries a deep respect for boundaries, chosen trust, and the people who helped him become human again.
