ID: SDR063
Name: Matilda
Suit: N/A
Rank: Leveret
Gender: Female
Animal: Rabbit
Region: Sorgaire Range
Notes: She hides her past well and plays herself off as having amnesia. She doesn't want anyone to know that she "accidentally" murdered her previous Jack while he was wooing her...that simply wouldn't do at all, now would it?
Her previous Jack was a tyrant of a Highland/Josiggy mix...and he'd desired her ever since her father sold her to him.
She was terrified and refused his advanced, earning her many small scars along her belly where he would "convince" her of better attentions once she was his Doe.
He was a haughty thing and never dreamed anyone would hurt him...it had been easy to sneak into his room with a kitchen knife and run off before anyone was the wiser.

Basic Information
Regarding Leverets: Leverets are seen by Jacks and Does as an amorphous blob of interchangeable servants. They are not regarded so much as individuals and people as they are readily available workers, here to carry out the Jack’s every whim, and even the whims of the Does. Leverets see themselves as people, but almost as a genderless caste, to the point where female and male Leverets will interact with each other on a perfectly equal footing. Male Leverets are not above female Leverets in any way, and all are treated the same by their betters.
Many female Leverets will opt to remain Leverets, as opposed to becoming Does, due to the relative freedom that they experience in their position. While they are still property, they may come and go as they please and even desert their Jack in favor of another without dire consequence, though it is slightly frowned on. Male Leverets may do the same thing, not wanting to enter the murderous society of back-stabbing gentlemen.
Keep in mind that if a Leveret changes into either a Jack or a Doe, their Leveret form is lost to them forever. They may never return to that form or caste. They will now be treated completely differently and may lose/gain friends and/or family. Leverets are smaller than both Jacks and Does, regardless of gender, and may never gain bipedal form, as that is reserved for Jacks alone. Leverets also very rarely possess magical powers, which are reserved primarily for Jacks and to some extent for Does.
Sorgaire Range: Residents are usually slate colored with a white-speckled underbelly and dark blue facial markings that continue down the spine. They have a higher than normal chance for mane mutations and, when a mane appears, it is almost always silvery.
Residents of the Sorgaire Range have little to fear from invading forces or a lack of resources. Though the mountain range is mostly rocky and barren, they are often supplied with cheap food and other supplies from the Josiggy Marsh to ensure that they don't assist those in the Lowlands and keep to the treaties they have written up for them. Lithe and camouflaged, the members of the Range have an easy enough time blending into their surroundings and avoiding conflicts that may occur around them. Elsewhere, their coats are often praised for their simple beauty and are admired by many for not being too flashy or gaudy. Intelligent and aspiring to greatness, many Range dwellers will leave to seek placement in the Courts, though they do not obsessively pursue achievements like those from Morganberry. They are prized for their quick wit and dry sense of humor toward daily life. A Range dweller is a must-have for otherwise dull work places and palace managers. The members of the Range often carry with them a piece of stone from their home. Losing it could cause the owner much grief. Range dwellers are neutral in many stances and some have an incredibly difficult time making decisions about anything. They are ambivalent toward most other Realms and could take them or leave them depending on circumstance, or personal experience.
