=Backgrounds=
'''Mentor: 5''' 
*Scarlet Ruby
'''Resources: 1'''
*T'zaran seldom asks for rewards for caring for people's livestock, but nonetheless he's given sufficient gifts from the grateful villagers to amount to this level of income.
'''Library: 3'''
*While only a few of the books are actually his own, T'zaran regards Scarlet Ruby's library as a second home.  The young shepherd is seldom without a borrowed book when he's out in the fields tending to people's flocks.
'''Allies: 1'''
*T'zaran has always gotten along very well with Eloria.  Although his own talents for mending the injuries of humans don't go much beyond basic first aid, she was the one who began his training in caring for the injuries of animals.  She finds his knowledge of local plant and animal life invaluable in acquiring her treatments for the villagers.

=Personality and Appearance=
*T'zaran is a good natured young man who puts the needs of others before his own.  He is very slow to anger, quick to forgive, and tends to see the best in others even when there's not the best reason to do so.  He's a little nervous around girls his own age, though mostly if he has a chance to think too much about it.  For all that he's a quite competent martial artist, he'd sooner allow himself to be hurt than use his skills to harm another -- though he's been known to use them quite effectively to defend smaller or weaker children (or animals) from bullies.  While this lack of inclination toward self-defense made him a victim of those same bullies for a number of years, that came to an end rather quickly after he trained Eos a few years ago -- few bullies dared to come anywhere near him once he acquired the rather protective Omen Dog as a constant companion.

*T'zaran is slightly tall for his age, though a little on the gangly side.  He has light brown skin, eyes a brilliant shade of emerald, while his hair is a tousled mop of brown almost dark enough to be considered black.  As he spends much of his time outdoors, he's often more than a little dirty and frequently carries the smells of the outdoors or the animals that he's been spending time tending or training.  His clothes go along with this general motif, and are thick and rugged, clearly made to keep him warm when it's cold and protect him from the inadvertent dangers of the woods, with little heed paid to style.
