TALHAIN 
Species: Red Fox Sex: Male Height: 1 Meter 
Weight: Average Age: 27 
Ship Rank: Captain 
Special Note: First son Prince of the ruling family of HOME.

Talhain has spent his entire teen years through adulthood training and working to know every inch of the Hightail. Initially he hated the idea of leaving home but as he grew older, he saw that something about Royal life was not for him and he feared falling to the eccentricies of previous rulers.

Talhain's temperament is usually even but like most foxes, he can be high strung. He's very good at thinking on the go and adapts quickly when needed. He's an idealist who believes he's doing something good by exploring and enjoys his position and rank. He has a strong sense of honor and redemption. He has an average sense of humor.

Talhain is mated to Elisha, also a fox, and would like to have kits of his own once the hightail either settles into a set routine, or they find a good place to set up a colony or complete the search mission. Until then, he's happy to take care of his brother Jerrin whom he went to great trouble to bring along on the trip.

ELISHA
Species: Red Fox
Sex: Female Height: 95cm Weight: Average
Age: 27
Ship Rank: Advisor
Special Note: Mated to Talhain.

Elisha met Talhain as the Hightail was being built. Like Talhain, she spent much of her youth into adult life learning and training on the ship as apprentice to many departments. She was scheduled to be in the command structure until the mutual decision to become mated to Talhain at age 21, when she adopted an advisor role to avoid a conflict of interest.

Elisha is energetic and sporty. She enjoys physical activities and is generally cheerful with less of the high strung traits found in most vulpines. She is supportive and usually very in tune with the feelings of people around her. She is dependable and completely faithful.

Elisha is in no hurry to make an extended family. She is fine with the though and thinks when the time is right, they will decide. Like Talhain, she cares for Jerrin and Tracey.

JERRIN
Species: Red Fox
Sex: Male Height: 75cm Weight: Average
Age: 11
Ship Rank: None

Special Note: Talhain's younger brother / Best friend of Tracey

Jerrin is a typical fox kit with a slight touch of the craziness that his parents are rumored to have. He is energetic, very smart, curious and somewhat rebellious towards his brother, Talhain. Being a fox, he is high strung and a bit jumpy under pressure. When bullied he has a very strong flight reaction.

Jerrin has an extended group of younger friends and remains pretty much out form underfoot of the older crew, and therefore out of mind mostly. His world is his friends and sometimes his Brother and Elisha when he stays in. With his friends he is subdued by Tracey and defers to her quite a bit. The backlash of this is his sometimes mouthy 'know it all' attitude towards his older brother, the Captain of the ship.

Jerrin is very smart and calculating, more so than he lets on. He has a vivid imagination that leads him to being a good problem solver. He is also very open minded when it comes to other species. He's been known to stay at friend's homes and attempt to 'live like them' to get to know them better. He is a good swimmer from time spent with Otaku, his Otter friend. Jerrin likes to play pranks that are usually started with ideas from Tracey and refined by him. He does not like to be the butt end of a prank and gets very grouchy when it happens, at times losing his temper.

One special note about Jerrin is that he is absolutely afraid of the Medical / Biology section for some reason. He does all he can to avoid it and is often 'taken' to medical for checkups under duress.

TRACEY
Species: Red Fox
Sex: Female Height: 77cm Weight: Average
Age: 11
Ship Rank: None
Special Note: Best friend of Jerrin. 'Leader' of the pack of friends

Tracey is a leader. She has a drive and energy unmatched my most kits her age. She is always wanting to do something. She's smart and very tom-boyish. In the 'pack' of friends who hang together, she is most definitely the leader and has no qualms about poking friends when she thinks they need a claw-poke.

Tracey is Jerrin's best friend. She is the sister of a fox Talhain's age, that Talhain was friends with. An accident took her family and Talhain immediately arranged to care for Tracey. When told she was going to leave on the Hightail, she was excited and quickly made friends with other kits her age.

She is very protective and bossy. She also loves practical jokes. She often times plays a joke on Jerrin that gets her in trouble with him and often ends up with a nice run for the trouble. It never stops her from panning her next joke. Her habit of joking Jerrin suggests a hidden affection she has.
