PERSONAL INFORMATION: He is loyal and honest. He is quick-witted and not above playing pranks on those close to him. He can be nasty if angered. He's always willing to learn, anxious to broaden his skills. At present, he doesn't have a mate, but if he does find someone, he will have only one.

Hoodwink's parents died in a fire when he was only five, and was raised thereafter by the tribe. He doesn't really have a family -- he considers all the tribe immediate relatives. He has a natural ability to use the bow, as if the weapon were a part of him. He's only now learning to use a sword, since trading for his with a troll.

He does not often eat dreamberries, but when he does he tends to over-do it a bit. It is at times like these when his age-mates do their best to confuse him and get him completely disoriented.

Unknown to the Timber Folk, Hoodwink has a friend in the human tribe. During one private excursion into the forbidden territory, he was caught in a trap set by the shaman's apprentice, Tana. She released him of her own volition, and the two became friends. Hoodwink hopes that their friendship can one day help ease the hostilities between their two tribes. Later during the Timber Valley war, his association with her proves to be invaluable.
