Berto "Rattlesnake" Muñoz is a Dogwood Nunnehi Brave of unknown Family in California.
Overview[]
Berto is the major liaison between the nunnehi and the freehold of Terebinthea. He is also one of the few who realize that Orzobal is actually an ancient nunnehi spirit that has changed with the times. Berto is somewhat jealous that Peter Oslo has gained the thunderbird's favor. He doesn't like Peter much, but he has respect for the troll's activism and cultural pride. Berto is a junior majoring in political science at Stevenson, and is a minority rights activist. He grew up in Watsonville to the south and knows a great deal about local politics.
Image[]
Berto is half Ohlone, one quarter Portuguese, and one quarter Mexican mestizo. He looks very Native American, with long black hair, which is usually braided, and small, slightly slanted, dark brown eyes. He is of medium height. His canines are unusually pointed, like fangs; to fae Kenning they are even longer and drip venom. He usually dresses in jeans and some variety of Aztec pride T-shirt, usually one with a rattlesnake motif. He can also take the form of a California diamondback rattlesnake.
Personal[]
Berto got the short end of the stick, and that sucks, but he doesn't have time to be bitter. There's too much work to do and he doesn't believe that people are responsible for the deeds of their ancestors, so long as they admit they were wrong and are doing something to make amends. He does everything he can to help his people reclaim what was lost: language, customs, treasures. He gives everyone who crosses him fair warning, though; it's part of his nature. He'd really like nothing better than to lounge around on the beach in the warm sand, but there's too damn much to do.
A Note[]
Berto seems to have been created before the Nunnehi were settled in canon as he doesn't appear to be any of Families described.
