Character Concept
Rayla is a headstrong girl. She is always happy and tends to be the one who trys to do what ever it takes to stay that way. She's courageous and smart. She's also brute. Though she's happy she tends to be closed minded, very... opinionated. Also, though she is more brute on things she is not aggressive. She see's no use in being rough inless its the absolute last resort. Rayla fears being exiled because of her heritage. She has a weekness when it comes to children, an example is when her father came back with a mutilated Chaktawe child and she spent the day crying after helping him. Challenges she faces are not being pure Chaktawe and not feeling like she fits in anywhere. Unknown to others Rayla is a thief, she can't help herself. It's like an instinct, if she wants it she gets it. She started small but slowly began to increase the size of the items and there worth. Rayla has always held a interest in fighting. She even has a spear and shield hidden in her stash of things. She watches the warriors and hunters of her tribe then practices alone in secret. She once caught wind of rumors of a 'faction' called the Crimson Edge. Mercenaries they are said to be. The rumor was of that the Crimson Edge had members in or near the city of Eloab. Freelance work then took hold of Rayla as a goal. Traveling the world working for a living, maybe one day find where she belongs has Raylas mind set on a path that may be very troublesome.
Character History
Rayla's parents were born of separate races. Natural enemies (at the time they were in a dispute) because of her fathers tribe. Her father was born into the Kalanue (raven) tribe and her mother born into nearby Benshira. Her parents met secretly and in the ending Winter of 495 her mother became pregnant. Her mother fled to live alone near her father till the baby was born. All her father has expressed that after Rayla was born her mother was discovered. No mercy was taken upon her, but Rayla was saved. Only for her features was she aloud the live. Her life through out the group has always been hard, she is teased and pushed around, always set to do the hard things or the things no one else wants to do.Her father is a healer so she does keep some respect but other than that her life is not the regular Chaktawe child's. Everyone knows she is not pure, it's easy to see because of her lighter skin, blue eyes, and brown hair. She is aloud to use some of her Benshira heritage in her clothing. The knee length pants and scarf plus the piercings and metal discs, Rayla had always thought that this was to show that she was different, that she didn't belong.
