Mouseling (RP 10)
Mouselings stand only 3 to 4 inches tall and weigh only about 1 to 2 ounces. They have fine fur that covers their entire bodies, with thicker tufts around their necks. Their fur coloration usually ranges from white to dark brown and black Their eyes are usually a bright hazel, though their eye color can vary widely. A mouseling’s limbs are limber, with clawed hands and feet. They also sport a prehensile tail, as well as large ears that aid them in avoiding predators. They usually adorn themselves with hempen cloth and grass garments, along with any trinkets they find along their travels. Mouselings reach maturity in about one year and are a relatively short lived race with each year of their lives being equivalent to about 5 human years.
Mouselings are extremely social, and live in tightly knit, and usually secretive communities. They form intense bonds with their families and kin networks, living in harmony with one another. Should a social dispute arise among them, or with an outsider, they prefer to work out differences and settle disputes with mutually beneficial trades. Most mouselings will only fight if running is no longer an option, or their family is in danger, otherwise they are quick to hide. Although a few occasionally break from the norm and actively seek out danger and adventure.
