Haut-et-haut-les-cendres-du-rocher-aux-embruns (Up-and-up-the-cinders-of-the-salt-sprayed-rock), or Woitl for short, is a yetsié working as a tower climber on coastal telecommunication (wireless telegraphy) towers in Iscea. Even among the yetsié, who are arboreal creatures and never fully at ease on the ground, Up-and-up-the-cinders's taste for heights is considered extreme.
Up-and-up-the-cinders is from Urterre, a small, rugged island country north of Iscea. Her yetsié dialect is not fully mutually intelligible with that of Iscean yetsié, and she has a very limited grasp of Iscean. For a yetsié such as she, the job of tower climber, a solitary and well remunerated profession up in the heights, should have been sufficient. But Up-and-up-the-cinders has seen these new machines, these roaring, stuttering, awkward things who take off as laboriously as an albatross, but by the gods, they do fly, and Up-and-up-the-cinders wants nothing more than to fly as well.
Up-and-up-the-cinders-of-the-salt-sprayed-rock has had limited opportunity to use the sort of nickname other yetsié adopt for the sake of humanoids, though she has several, one of which is Woitl, which mimicks "Up". Up-and-up-the-cinders is an image for her speed in climbing and the heights she reaches, with a nod to her fur's ashen colour. Of-the-salt-sprayed-rock holds double meaning: it refers both to her land of origin, Urterre, and to her scent, which due to her job working on towers by the coast, has always something of the sea in it. The only part of her name she has always borne is "cinder": as a youth in her home country she was Shining-the-star-cinder, Shining in reference to her unusual eye colour, and the-star-cinder in reference to the six-point star drawn by the dark grey on her arms, neck, and stomach. Her pattern is considered rather striking by other yetsié, and the fact that she has retained so little of it in her name immediately tells them that she must have a very strong personality for it to overshadow her colours so.
Up-and-up-the-cinders has not had the exposure to the constant socialization that urban yetsié must learn to tolerate, and struggles heavily with the demands of city life as she tries to join Pigeon Aéropostale, the only aeronautics upstart that she believes might allow her to become a pilot.
