Skills, Spells, and Abilities
Racials
- Foreign Language {Minish}: Ketari speaks two languages: The Minish language and the common Hylian language. He mostly uses his knowledge of the latter to listen, not to speak.
- Huge Potential: Ketari believes himself a heroic warrior, and is in fact full of unrealized potential. However, he is incapable of growing even a millimetre.
- Minish Veil: Unless he actively tries to be noticed, Ketari is invisible to the eye of Hylian adults.
- Language of Fauna: Ketari can speak with animals, much to the frustration of some of them.

Spells
- Feather Fall: A safety net in case he ever falls off a table or a counter, Ketari has mastered a spell to slow his descent so that he won’t fall to his death.
- Spark: Ketari commonly lights his cavern with a small magical flame. Most people wouldn’t notice it, but for a Minish, it’s more than enough to live by.

Inventory
Miscellaneous
- Twig: Ketari’s trusty ‘sword’ is in fact a fallen twig that he gathered from beneath a tree. It’s likely that he tried to grab the whole branch, before utterly failing and settling on the twig.
- Ember Seed Supply: Tied around Mouse’s back is a small bag that contains a single Ember Seed- at all times, even after it’s been removed. Ketari has no idea how it works, but it’s really useful.

Roleplay Information
Residence:
Ketari lives in a small cavern in the wall of an inn in Hyrule Castle Town. His cavern is furnished modestly, but fits his needs.
Companions:
- Mouse (Riding Mount): A cream-colored rat that honestly takes up about a fifth of Ketari’s residence. He (or she) is not very smart, but smart enough to acknowledge Ketari as his (or her) master and walk where he wants him (or her) to go.

Personal Information
Height: Two thumbs.
Appearance:
Let me tell you the story of Ketari, the Picori who was convinced that despite his small size, he was just as adventurous, brave and strong as any Hylian. Ketari stood no more than two inches tall, weighed next to nothing, and resembled a little mouse more than anything else. His skin was slightly brown-ish, his eyes blue, and his hair dark blond.

Ketari wore an all-black Picori-sized poncho, over a cream pair of Picori-sized pants, and was easily recognizable (to all who could spot him) by the porcelain white eggshell on his head. Ketari would never leave his house without his twig, which served as both his hiking stick and his whip for Mouse, his faithful rat steed.


Personality:
Now, like I told you, Ketari was a brave little Picori. He was adventurous and ambitious, believing himself to be just as much of an adventurer and warrior as any Hylian, Zora, or Goron, just a lot smaller. He often said that it was unfair for him to be judged as weak and useless based on the way he looked, which is, of course, true.

He was brave to the point of recklessness, often leaping into sometimes dangerous situations before he thought. This led to him having many adventures that may have seemed whimsical and unnecessary to a more careful person but routine to him. It was during one of these adventures that he tamed Mouse, and during another that he found his house in the inn.

His greatest ambition was to one day lead a party of adventurers into battle, raising his twig to the sky and shouting a battle cry to rally his men, sitting atop a rearing Mouse.

Story
Backstory:
Our hero was born right here, in Castle Town. However, despite him later living in an inn in the middle district, where all the normal people live, his was a very poor family hiding under a cardboard box in the slums.

Little Ketari soon hated the hard life he had, and simply walked out of the slums. However, right as he left the alley, he ran into a cream-colored rat, much like the ones your parents want to keep out of the house even if you think they’re cute. Now, to us, these rats aren’t really anything to be afraid of. But to a Picori, they can be terrifying beasts, as big as them or even bigger, and this encounter was indeed very scary for Ketari.

But even as a child, Ketari leapt before he looked, meeting the battle cry of the rat with one of his own and leaping at it. After a short struggle, the Picori turned out to be the winner, the rat lying exhausted at his feet. He called the rat Mouse, not really knowing the difference between the two animals, and that was the rocky start of what later became a fast friendship.

When he could ride Mouse, he used that to go further out of the slums and further into the districts where the good life was being lived. It was on one of his trips that he ran into a foe far more terrifying than Mouse had been. On the doorstep of a house, he was seen by a small, black cat.

The monster chased him through town, until Mouse saw a hole in a wall and ran into it, while the cat hit the wall and was too big to follow them. Going further into this cave, Ketari found an enormous, bright room…

Ketari had stumbled into the Golden Boar Inn, where he took his time looking around, eventually finding another, small hole in the wall. When he entered it and walked through it, he found a much smaller room fit for a Minish, in which he also encountered an old Picori with a very long beard. The old Picori let him move in, but there wasn’t enough room to move his family too.

With Mouse, Ketari often rode back and forth, but soon found a message from his parents. They had been found, and forced to move out of the slums… leaving Ketari behind as he had already found a nice place to live and had not yet been found. This made our hero very sad, of course, but he was strong. Going back to his new house, he let his mentor teach him some spells that he called ‘invulnerable’ –that simply means all Picori should know them- and he set to taming Mouse better so he could one day, hopefully, actually ride outside of town.

And the best part? The best part is that this is all a true story, and Ketari still lives in the Golden Boar inn… but please don’t go looking for him, because if you find him, he’ll have to move to some other house…

Alright, this is looking good. My only problem with it is that if your P is 3, then the Mount should be 60 rupees, not 40. Unless you ran it through Guy's system, in which case, can you please show me your steps?

It's a Standard Companion Riding Mount. Which go for 40 Rupees at P3.

Alrighty, thanks for clearing that up. Well, this looks good. My only plot-wise thing is his reaction when he received the note, and he realized that he would probably never see his family ever again. Just saying that he was "very sad" didn't really do it for me, as a reader. Other than that, though, this was great. I especially liked how he named Mouse, simply because he didn't know the difference between a mouse and a rat. That was cool.

"but please don’t go looking for him, because if you find him, he’ll have to move to some other house…"
