Appearance:
His fur is a bit paler than most other snow leopards, and he has vivid blue eyes. They stand at about 6'5. Wears a blue knit sweater and black pants as well as a pearl choker.
Personality:
A quiet guy who usually wears an expression that is hard to read. He's modest (except when he dunks on someone for being shorter), but really does like getting compliments, even though it makes him a bit shy. Well, he's a bit shy in general, so I guess a little more shy than usual. You might take him to be the perfectionist type, but he's long known that he can't be perfect, no matter how hard or how much he strives to be so.
He has a thirst for knowledge and moves with elegance and an air of otherworldliness. Not very judgemental and pretty tolerant which has led to many eccentric people confiding to him about their peculiarities. Although he won't judge them, he finds socializing with most people draining.
Prone to psychoanalyzing people and acting recklessly. Despite being impulsive, he cares greatly about people's safety. Another contradiction(?) for this contradiction- he sometimes struggles to connect with his sense of empathy. Not all the time, some of the time.
Backstory:
He lived in a village that required anyone that was strong and healthy enough to give a helping hand. His main role was to make sure nobody froze to death from wandering outside the village. Sometimes they would send him out to look after merchants or to find residents who might have gotten lost due to snow storms or are just worryingly absent. For the most part though, he just did patrols around his snowy mountain home, carrying supplies to help any stragglers that might be cold, hungry, lost, all the above
He also would help take care of people's kids, making sure they got enough food for the day, knew at least basic math as well as how to read, and that they didn't wander off into a ravine. Needless to say, he was pretty busy most of the time, almost always having something to do on any given day.
Then one day, he just felt a strong desire to set out and get a fresh new start. And wanting it was really all the reason he needed to set out, he feels.
Reason for setting onto the road:
To start a new chapter.

The fox kit blearly blinks its eyes open as you scoop them. Upon seeing you it yawns and snuggles closer then goes back to sleep. Velvet flicks her ears forward for a moment, listening intently then bounds ahead, looking back every now and then to make sure you're following. She leads you to where most of the other foxes have holed up, they seem to have enjoyed a bountiful meal.

The storm seems to follow you. Thankfully it is still a few hours away from fully overtaking. The silent chill of the forest settles deeper, the trees don't even move or rustle despite the increasing winds, you do however spot a break in the trees. Up ahead there seems to be two paths, one that leads down the mountain where you remember coming up through, a winding trail of cliffs and rocks, perhaps some caves could be found there?
The second path leads back and deeper into the forest, you think you can see some tracks of footprints in the snow leading that way. Where do you go?

(It would be afternoon/early evening. Places would still be open but as it is still thaw the sun still goes down pretty early)
"Yeah lots of places should still be open! I think you'd have another hour or two before shops started closing up for the day. There's a nice wharf not to far from here that has a nice walk track if oyu need to stretch your legs." She starts to move back towards the bar and kitchen, "I'll be back with your order in a split!"

(Looks good!)
The hustle and bustle of the market swarms around you, t's almost as if the moment you stepped in a crowd materialized and took up all available space. Thanks to your height you can still see directions pretty well, it looks as though almost everyone here is in a rush to aquire something or other.

He took in the sights and sounds around him, thinking it a bit peculiar how quickly the crowd formed, but maybe it was just because he hadn't gone outside the mountain range before. The thought of stealing something crossed their mind, considering they didn't have anything on them besides their pearls to sell or trade with, but they quickly dashed the thought away. Stealing wasn't exactly a noble thing to do, unless it was perhaps a Robin Hood situation, maybe. He's never stolen anything before anyway and it seemed far too packed to make a run for it if he got caught.
They swished their tail idly before deciding to search for somebody who might be willing to hire them for a bit of pay. Although he wasn't exactly planning to stay here for long, he would need some gold down the road. They went up to the friendliest-looking trader who wasn't busy and asked if they knew of anyone willing to hire a helping hand.

Nakistka laughs when she sees the foxes. "Enjoying a party without me I see?" She asks, shaking her head. "Come now, we need to go before those angry trees catch us." Kist giggles, grabbing an apple out of her pocket that she had picked off of the head of an apple tree floraling and taking a bit out of it. "The taste of sweet success." She gives the rest of the apple to the foxes to keep them distracted while she takes the pieces of dead animals that had not gotten torn to shreds, dirtied, or slobbered on, and puts them in a pocket of her hiking bag. Too bad they don't know not to rip up the animal pelts... She shakes her head at the waste of what could have become a nice new coat, or perhaps she could have traded it with someone passing by for some food or resources that she doesn't yet have that would make her life easier.

Lilliana nodded "Thank you for your help again" she said as Breta made her way back to the kitchen area. With a deep breath She slipped her pack off her shoulders and placed it beside her chair her back facing the wall so she could keep a close eye on it though all it contained was her snowblanket clothes and her belongings that didn't hold much value unless you were someone tending to Shadow stags yourself. She took a moment to glance around the cozy tavern as she listened to the crackling of the logs on the fire.

Cyra examines both of the paths, her eyes landing on the footprints leading down the forested path. Whoever made them appeared to be crashing through the snow at a rapid pace. They look very recent, and she's surprised she didn't hear them. She follows the footprints carefully, glancing back at the storm every few minutes. It looms over the forest, and she feels a shudder down her spine. She shakes her head, trying to clear her mind.
Relax, Cy. It's just a storm. Nothing to be afraid of...

A short sheep looks up as you approach, She smiles politely although it looks a bit strained. However, as you mention looking for work her ears perk up "Oh! Yes, actually. A storm warning was announced not too long ago and I've been having a right time trying to figure out how to move all my stock!"
She holds her hoof out, "I'm Maybelle, I'm happy to offer some gold and a place to wait out the storm for your help! I'm afraid it's quite a bit of a trip."
