- Dropping out, sorry. There are people who would love her more than me <3.
Sorry boys not really
No matter what stand in my way I will push past it.
Hurt anyone I love and I will hurt you twice as worse.
If I want something done I will do it myself I don't need you.
Who says I need a human to feed me? I can hunt my own food.
Well I am better and prettier then you in every way.
Pffft, Lies!

Rune is always ready to face the unexpected with a bang. Even if every inch of her instincts are telling her to avoid something, she will do so anyways without any hesitation. She rarely complains about how difficult or long something is and is always one to look forward to any event.

Whoever happens to come across Rune's little cave will be overwhelmed with love and support from Rune and Toame. Rune is the one responsible for making sure the guests are comfortable, warm, and well-fed. Even if her own supply of food and water is low, she will offer or hunt any avaliable food for the visitors staying. She does not care how long said visitors are staying and asks for no reward or payment in return. If needed she will offer money and supplies before the guests head out.

Rune is stubborn in a 'good way,' as many people recall. She is resolute and fixed on her purposes and opinions, but she is not stubborn as in rude and demanding. When people offer her anything in return for their gratitude toward her kindness she won't accept anything. She's noticed some people trying to get Toame to sneak her some money or food in return, so she sneaks it back into their supplies. If the travelers leave her house and leave money under their pillow or blanket, she actually gets upset that they spent their precious money on repaying her, but she has no other choice but to accept it. She then uses this money to give to other travelers when they need it.

Rune is always digging her nose into everything she isn't used to. She asks many questions to her guests on where they came from, what it's like there, ect. She has a brilliant memory, so she loves to repeat information to Toame or to anyone willing to listen. She's been very known to ramble for hours about any little detail. She explains everything very in-depth and detailed. Those who have met her say she's happiest when she's curious.

If she is feeling a bit depressed she likes to clear her mind by taking a walk on or around the mountains. If anyone happens to see a glance of her, just like a wild animal, she will turn and hide or anxiously pace away. She is only like this when she is extremely dismal.

Due to her amazing memory she is able to remember almost everything she is exposed to (that is both a curse and a blessing to her. Read her history for more info about why it is a curse to her). She loves to show people all that she knows. Rune is sometimes nicknamed the "Random Fact A Day Dragon" by Toame, as he is the one who has to put up with a different "The pistol shrimp can fire a pulse of water so forcefully that the water vaporizes into a bubble tht reaches temperatures of 5500 degrees that can stun prey instantly" kind of fact every morning.
If you really want to know about my personal history, we need to go back, all the way to the very beginning. I was born on October 16, 1991 in a quiet cave near a beautiful waterfall. Due to my parents' weak conditions from traveling hundreds of miles to this reserve, this is where we stayed for the majority of my childhood. There was not much to see as my home was almost like a bowl: surrounded by tall mountains that were snow-capped at the top along the circumference, yet warm and dry at the bottom, surrounded by trees, water, and plenty of fruit available. My brother was born June 27, 1995 in the same den as me. We went along quite nicely, only bickering every once in a while. When I reached 10 years of age, I decided I was old enough to climb out of the reserve. A near fatal mistake. On the way up, just feet from the snow, a wet rock slipped under my paw and sent me tumbling backwards, falling almost 60 feet. When I regained consciousness at the bottom and my parents found me, they were in tears, bawling and crying as they rushed to my side, "Rune! What in the world were you thinking?! From now on, please, please never climb a mountain again!"However, this was only the beginning of my love for adventure.
Over the next few years (with my parents' acceptance and supervising) I trained myself to climb all kinds of terrain, including the mountains that almost killed me. Before I knew it I had dragged my younger brother into all of this training. When I had reached 16 and my brother reached 12 we were already leaving the reserve to explore the land beyond our home. I loved adventuring with a passion; it fueled me. It was my love. My pride. My only reason to live. It was also my death. When my little brother died, I died with him. It is not a day I like to remember.
My parents were sick. They had caught pneumonia, and the only herbal remedy in our land was astragalus. With the desire to cure my beloved mother and father, instinctively, I set out to find this plant, with my brother at my side. We left the reserve and searched in the lands for the seemingly-invisible plant. Then I thought of an idea to help us find it better. "Maybe," I told him, "If we stand up on the mountain tops, we can see it easier," I concluded. We scaled the side of the mountain effortlessly and scanned the horizon for the astragalus. After what seemed like hours, my brother cried out, "There! I think I see it!" I trotted he way and suddenly I felt my blood freeze in my veins. With a short, blood-curdling scream, my brother lost his balance and fell off the sheer drop mountainside. I couldn't breathe. I screamed his name and sprinted to the side. There was no sign of him. From the massive height, the trees at the bottom looked like tiny green dots. If I wasn't mistaken, I could make out blood splatters spread along the rocks on the way down. Hot tears melted my cheeks and I sobbed until night fell. My eyes felt like they had acid poured into them when I was able to stop the tears, but every time I sat to think about how quick he went, I broke down once more. I returned home, the mission a failure, to see my parents sleeping and wheezing side by side. Thank god, I thought. At least my parents were still alive. I cried myself to sleep. My baby brother, the one who always believed in me and followed in my paw prints ever since he would walk, would never make it home.
In the morning, I set out alone to find the astragalus. By sunset, I came back, my pack filled with enough I thought would cure them. In a couple of weeks, they were healed. They were still weak as they had been since I was born, but a whole lot healthier. A year later, I was exploring the forest below the mountains where my brother and I had traveled together that fateful day. I was stronger, both emotionally and physically. If I saw my brother's skeleton, I at least knew I could handle it. True to my assumptions, there was his skeleton at the base of the cliff, exactly where I pictured him to land. I took a deep breath, calming myself. My eyes began to tear up; I didn't mind that a few drops fell. Now I felt that my tears were not for mourning, they were of reparations. I approached the bones with caution at first, as if they would suddenly start to move and get up. After examining the skeleton a little longer, I saw a small bone beginning to glint. I squinted and came forward to realize the thing shining was my brother's necklace strung around his neck. It was a fox's tooth, the one he pulled out of the mouth of his very first kill outside the reserve. I remember that day with clarity. The sun was gently beaming on his proud face, and he held up the shiny canine tooth. My mother carved a small hole at the top and tied it to a thin string, and presented it to him. I felt as if my brother was now presenting it to me, so I could forever have it with me. I tenderly took it off of his skeleton, held it to my pounding heart, and swung it over my neck. To this day I have never taken it off.
5 years since that day I found my brother's body, I am currently where I am now. I have moved out from the reserve permanently, only to return to care for my parents' weakening health every few months. I live alone in a cave at the top of a mountain 15 miles away from my birthing den. I have no friends, for there is not another conscious being where I am around. The nearest civilization is hundreds of miles away, but travelers and explorers do come around, and I stop them to house them and provide shelter or supplies in any way that I can. My mother always believed in pure hospitality, even when you are in need yourself. Because of my unique fur patterns, I feel like I am truly a part of nature, as most beans I have seen are vibrant, cheerful and radiant. I act the way I noticed the living animals have around the mountains. I act only upon my own instincts; follow whatever my gut tells me to do, strong willed. I am one with nature. I am me.
Rune suffers from mnemophobia, or the fear of memories. Obviously this is due to her loss of her brother. She fears the memory itself and hates remembering it, wishing she could forget it and put the past behind her, but at the same time she is scared of forgetting the memory and forgetting her brother forever. She says her brother's necklace is both the cause and cure for the phobia. Seeing it every day around her neck is a constant reminder of the emotional scar left behind from her brother's death, yet it also soothes her, knowing that when she carries it with her, she will never forget him. The mnemonphobia also triggers her nightmares, which bothers Rune about twice a week. They are always of the same day and the same event, but she recalls seeing it from different perspectives. Once she saw it as herself, another time above the scenario, and in one horrible nightmare she was seeing it from her brother's point of view. When the dreams occur she wakes up in the dead of morning in a cold sweat, then is unable to sleep again. The dreams also cause her anxiety.

Lyrics:
City lights shine on the harbour,
night has fallen down,
through the darkness
and the shadow
I will still go on.
Long, long journey
through the darkness,
long, long way to go;
but what are miles
across the ocean
to the heart that's coming home?
Where the road
runs through the valley,
where the river flows,
I will follow every highway
to the place I know.
Long, long journey
through the darkness,
long, long way to go;
but what are miles
across the ocean
to the heart that's coming home?
Long, long journey
out of nowhere,
long, long way to go;
but what are sighs
and what is sadness
to the heart that's coming home?
Rune's items consist of a polyester blue backpack and her brother's tooth necklace. She got the backpack from the river near the woods when she was 13 years old. It had washed ashore, tattered and dirty, filled with a dagger, rotten fruit, and some flint stones. After bringing it home, her mother tidied it up and patched up all the holes and tears in it. Before long, Rune was taking the backpack everywhere with her. Eventually it became the portable home for Taome as he accompanies Rune on her travels. The fox tooth necklace belonged to her brother before he fell from the mountain side. When he was 11 years old, Rune took her brother on his first hunt outside the reserve. On his first try, he had a successful kill on a large fox. Eventually he brought it to her, he pulled out one of the fox's large, glinting teeth and took it home. After transforming it into a necklace, he never took it off. The necklace is now in possession of Rune.
Toame is Rune's faithful companion, a two headed Burmese Python. Toame is actually a 'dwarf' python, and is much, much smaller than his regular relatives. He is only 5'6 feet (1.68 m) long, rather than his 15 foot long cousins. Unlike most of his species, Toame has a preference toward cold weather rather than the hot, humid conditions where he first lived. Toame is actually what the two heads call themselves together. His left head likes to call himself "Toren" (Toe-rehn)) and the right head likes to call himself "Kaome" (Cow-meh). Together they combined and slightly altered the name into one name in which they refer to the both of them together.
Toame originated from Sulawesi, and lived there quite happily until humans began to cause deforestation in his home. He was captured by them and was meant to travel to the United States to be relocated in a zoo (in the special exhibits due to his two heads) until his plane crashed, landing him somewhere near the border of Canada and the US. Most of the animals in the plane, along with the pilots, died. However, somehow, Toame survived. Whether it was due to his love and adaptation to the cold or his knowledge of surviving, it was still a mystery to the local animals. He was not taken kindly from the animals and decided to travel away from the crash site. When summer came he traveled hundreds of miles east until he was greeted by rocky, mountainous areas. Near the mountains were lush forests, and it was here where he met Rune.
Rune encountered Toame two months after acquiring her brother's necklace in the woods. She was actually paying him a well needed visit (to momentarily cure her mnemophobia) when she found the snake coiled around the skeleton. She was not startled or scared of the snake's appearence, but instead quite mesmerized. However that didn't change the fact that he was on her "private property," as she calls it. Quite angered at him for touching his sacred-like bones, Rune snapped at him and drove him away. As she was laying by his side, the snake returned. She was still angry at him and kept a wary eye on him. Being very in tune with the forest, she found out that she could communicate with the reptile, and they introduced themselves. After hours of conversation, Rune accepted him as her acquaintance (she's too embarrassed to call him her best friend) and she set off, Toame at her heels.
Toame follows Rune on all of her adventures wherever she goes. When they aren't at home, he resides in Rune's backpack. Every once in a while he will pop one of his heads out to give her a little advice or motivation, then goes back to the comfort of the soft polyester.
Toren will be the main speaker of the two.
Hello Toren and Kaome!
"Pleased to meet you! But call us Toame! It's a whole lot easier."
Alright, Toame. Now tell us, how did you get all mixed up out here in the middle of a tundra?
"It's a long story. But to sum it up, we just preferred cold weather to warm weather when we lived back in Sulawesi, and when the plane taking us to America crash-landed in the vast wilderness of...somewhere around Canada, we pretty much thrived there. Not only did we like it, but we adapted kinda quickly to the cold temperatures. However I don't think the animals there were too kind to us. We didn't mind, though. We would leave soon from there anyways."
Neat! So when you met Rune, did you get a good first impression of her?
"To tell the truth, no. She seemed really upset about us touching some rotting skeleton. We were just hungry, that's all! Kaome here told me he heard a mouse scamper by, and we thought it went to the skeleton. When Rune saw us, she was snarling and everything, telling my brother and I to back off. Being used to the harsh comments, we complied. It's just that there was something about her that...attracted us back to her. Well, me at least. I guess you could say I'm the leader of us two, because I dragged Kaome's butt over so we could come back to see her. When we sat for a talk, I realized I judged her too quickly about her attitude, and I think she judged me a little too. I really sympathized for her. After her agreement, we just decided to stick around."
I see. Now, is anything going on between you two...er, three?...
"What?! No! O-of course not! We're just friends! To Rune, I don't even think she feels the same way! To her I bet we're just acquaintances! What in the world gave you that idea?!
...Well...let's just say that we both might have a liitttle crush on her. But nothing more!"
Kamoe: "Hey! Don't drag me into this!"
"Jeez, sorry! Well...this is only between you and us. Don't let the word get out! And please don't let Rune find out..."
Your secret's safe with me. And if you don't mind me asking, do you two fight a lot?
"Erm...no, I don't think so. Kaome's pretty quiet most of the time. I guess I'm the outspoken one. If anyone has to do the most talking, it's gunna be me. I guess since we're completely different, we don't find much in common that we have to fight over."
"...It's just 'cause you're a huge blabbermouth. If I say a word you'll never shut up. I don't want to put up with that..."
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME YOU LITTLE--"
Ookayy there, Toren. Take it easy. I think that's all the questions we needed asked. Thanks for talking to me, both of you!
"Nice meetin' you! And don't go spilling the beans, now!"
"Goodbye! Take care!~"
