Voski

Trivia

Somewhat novice.

Quick, but may not be perceived as such immediately.

Does not appear averse to hitting others with her crook. Often uses this and further tools defensively when perceived as necessary.

A small residency is maintained nearby the fields she works around.

A relative degree of endurance is present, for weather and for occupational ranges.

Likes to lay around when not busy, but never quite drops her guard.

Evidently has not had too much issue where work is concerned. Sheep are threatening in groups through an inherent herd mentality, which is a kind of defence.

She likes to write poetry, which is mostly scenic in basis. Works are very infrequently submitted to the local papers within Carranfield.

She does not appear to focus on variation concerning writings, although alternating the style does happen evidently.

A relatively vegetarian diet is prevalent. Eggs and dairy are used on occasion.

Appears relatively knowledgeable about plants and herbs. That can be useful if becoming hurt while around the fields.

To that extent, she has a sense of which species to keep from; when relevant.

Sometimes travel occurs to the nearby Carranfield townscape in order to obtain supplies or consider other necessities.

Her family historically moved around the valleys and hillsides often. She can be considered a mixture of the cultures variously met over a few generations.

Relatives and possible ancestors are variously ovine, caprine, and further in basis.

Correlates to a species of sheep where the females and males both have horns. Mouflon can be considered the ancestor of most sheep breeds.

She has a complicated heritage due to relatively undocumented familial ties. This is a norm historically, with time passing.

Initially originated from a city further off from Carranfield, but moved out to this related countryside around 20 years of age.

Has faced one of her flock killed on occasion. Sheep are group animals and ward off most threats via intimidation and stampeding something to death, but if one is seized, loss is unavoidable.

Blood often leaves a trail, which she erases with buckets of soap and water.

A bucket of water mixed with herbal insect repellent may be used on the remaining flock after an occurrence to cover their scent and minimise any trace of remains.

She reasonably always locks her door at night, further. A question sometimes asked to other herders is if they have lost anything lately. What kills is not always apparent.

She does not have reinforced fencing, instead a relative space with shelter to keep them in at night.

This is a stone-border guard and stands around five feet in height. Reinforcing this evidently would involve too much effort in her view.

She makes sure it remains sturdy despite this and often replaces stones.

This does not mean going over the fence is impossible, which has resulted in losses.

Sheep infrequently leave the group. It is not often she has to be concerned about any straying.

When the sheep are led out to graze, she keeps a firm watch over them. The wool shorn is taken by cart to the town market. Sometimes dairy cans are taken along as well, during the spring.

She has a milk house that is only occasionally used. This sits near her cottage.

She looks after a few hens in a hen house somewhat opposite the milk storage. These were taken over from the city range, the landscape of that city varied beyond clustered buildings.

The city and countryside is nominally purposeful. There were a good degree of cairns around the surroundings at one time. Many of these stones may have ended up part of fences and walls.

She has moved a number of these stones herself, and wondered about their purpose on occasion.
