Conceptuization. 

A female alternative for Raphael AKA Russet Rouge, intended to be more or less interchangeable with the existing character mechanically.

Reasoning the original character is apparently rather disliked, but is a decent enough concept to expand on. Rather than wholesale replacing them I believe it will be better to allow the player which version they want. The original male, or the female alternative. This should also allow training and other flags to work for both versions instead of having to create new ones.

Existing Introduction

​You stir in your sleep, bothered by a noise. It’s the familiar creaking of your camp’s storage chest, as if you’ve just opened it up to fill it with freshly found loot. Groaning, you hog your blankets and twist. Nothing to worry about then. You soon drift back into a pleasant dream about all the spoils you’ve accumulated over the time here. Life is good.

Suddenly, you sit up straight and something occurs to you. If you’re sleeping, then who’s opening the chest?

You rush out of bed and into camp, concerned for your stash.

“Hey!” you call out sleepy as, indeed, a strange red being is rummaging through your belongings. It has its front body in your storage chest, throwing junk about in search of valuables while its bright red tail wags in the air. The moment it notices you, it jumps up and runs off so fast it turns into a red blur. Only at the outskirts of your camp, on top of a small crumbled wall, does it take the time to introduce itself.

“Ha\PYZhy{}hah!” it exclaims boastfully with a sharp, young, dashing voice while standing tall and proud on top of its perch. “Another daring caper committed by...” The being takes the time to strike a pose. “...the Russet Rogue!”

Proposed addition
You are still half asleep so it\PYZsq{}s hard to be sure of what you heard, or what you are seeing. It honestly feels like this might be some kind of dream. Either way you need to deal with this… 

Option 1. Man \PYZdq{}This person seems to be male, albeit rather slender\PYZdq{} if picked resumes the normal Raphael content.
Option 2. Woman \PYZdq{}This is obviously a woman.\PYZdq{} if picked leads to Fem Raph Intro.

Fem Raph Intro
You rub your eyes and walk towards the stranger, taking in their form as you approach. Starting at the bottom and working your way up, her feet are covered by soft looking brown boots which seem to be made of some kind of fur. It seems reasonable to assume they would help soak up sound when walking. Next are her legs, they look very slender, what you can see of them. Her pants lead all the way down into her boots, the sleeves of the legs tucked into the footwear. As for the pants themselves they look to be a particularly dark leather with a few decorative buttons sewn into them. Moving further up one of her hands rests on her hip, the gloved appendage doing wonders to accentuate her figure. You can see a bright orange tail with a white stripe down its center swaying from side to side behind her as your eyes continue to trail up her body.

Her midsection is slender and covered by a deep brown shirt with red accents around the beltline and the neck. Her arms are likewise covered with dark colored gloves but are decidedly slender, just the barest hint of muscle showing under the cloth. Her chest looks to be rather modest, at least by mareth standards, being completely covered by her clothing. Finally your eyes reach her face, a smug grin across her muzzle, fluffy triangular ears stick out from her head, and a set of green eyes locking onto your own.
