K'Ren Utahraptor

Name: K Ren Utahraptor
Gender: Female

Description: Blue and gold Utahraptor. Green eyes, black claws. Blue all over with a gold strip from her nose to tail.

History: K'Ren Utahraptor's egg was laid in the Rainy Basin by the Dragon Claw Clan of Utahraptors. A caravan through the Basin went near the Dragon Claw territory. A young human boy by the name of Liam wandered by, and picked up her egg. Without his parents noticing, Liam put the egg in his bag and took it back to Sauropolis with him. K'Ren hatched two days later. Liam's family adopted her, and she became Liam's saurian partner.

The two grew up together, and were the closest of friends. Some might even say that they were in love. Liam became a scientist, and wanted nothing more than to study the great predators of the Rainy Basin. K'Ren went with him. Their study was rather uneventful for the first two years, then something went horribly wrong. A group of Megaraptors raided their camp, recognizing the scent of one of their enemies, the Dragon Claw Clan. Not knowing that K'Ren didn't even know what clan she was of, the Megas killed Liam, and left K'Ren for dead. She made her way out of the Basin, dragging Liam's body and badly cut and bleeding from a huge gash in her side (she carries the scar to this day), and was picked up by a caravan headed for Waterfall City. She was nursed back to health in the Waterfall City infirmary, and, grief stricken over the loss of Liam, she went back to the Basin to live as best she could. It was there that she met William, a cross-Basin trail guide. Every time he passes!d through the Basin, he'd find time to stop and talk to her. Eventually, he convinced her to come back to Waterfall City with him. K'Ren lived in his house, and took care of it when he was away. Finally, when William was assigned to work in Pooktook, K'Ren became the official owner of his home in Waterfall City. She lives there to this day.

She has also taken a new human partner in the form of Caroline, a dolphinback originally from California. K'Ren was the first to greet Caroline when she washed ashore, and the two have been nearly inseparable since. They live together in K'Ren's house in Waterfall City.
