Nailah is shy but not timid she stands with a sturdy spine when pushed hard enough, nonetheless she does have an alarming habit of letting things spiral out of control. Far from confrontational both by nature and Goddess she is very familiar with the phrase turn the other cheek..
Gentle and soft-spoken, she often takes long pauses before and during speaking, if she becomes stressed she falls into stuttering. If one manages to get past her shyness they will find that she is still not a chatterbox but she is easy to talk to and pleasant company. But for all her soft mannerisms she is not patient, she likes things to be done quickly and well.
Having grown up around nearly all adults she feels uncomfortable around them at best and fearful at worst because she knows their potential, for better or worse. One will find her eyes avoiding contact and her head bent low, yet she is not without pride. She knows what she is good at and what she is and takes great pride in her heritage and skills. As such she often enjoys the company of children of most are still too transparent to lie or find no trouble getting around her shyness.
Religion
Nailah follows Rak’keli with a comfortable passion. There is no burning desire to do whatever her Goddess needs but rather she views her as an elder sister or mother, someone easy to talk to, who she would loathe to disappoint, and who she wants to be proud of her. In order to follow Rak’keli (and make her proud) she has abandoned all sense of violence, in word or action, and like many who follow the Goddess she wants only to help. There are no prayers she offers to her Goddess, only thanks whenever her gift is called upon for use.
She holds reverence for the others Gods and Goddess’ and gives them thanks where due but will always differ to Rak’keli for guidance should she need it.
Ethics/Morals Nailah holds hard and fast principles, do not kill, do not steal, and do not lie. There is no space for wiggle room with these rules, they are simply not done.
Values :
Drive ‘A persons will to achieve or start an action’ Nailah wants to achieve something, to continue to move forward, and continue growing. She values this quality in herself and others because people must always want to achieve something in life. Expeditiousness ‘Characterized by promptness’ In work or life things go quick, and Nailah expects them to. She wishes for things to be done quickly but that is not to say they shouldn’t be thorough. Camaraderie ‘Mutual trust and friendship among people who spend a lot of time together’ Growing up in Mura she is used to developing close relationships, and she needs it to feel comfortable in any environment, whether or not the camaraderie is directed at her. So long as a city as a whole feels unified by trust and affection she is at ease. Honesty ‘The quality of being honest’ Both her ethical choices and her own value prompt this. She holds no faith in liars, for whatever the reason and holds no respect for people lie, this view carries onto herself as well, she would have little self-respect for herself or others if she lied. Life ‘Living things and their activity’ As a follower of Rak’keli Nailah values life, one must take life as it is not their choice but Dira’s as uncomfortable as that makes her. People must respect both their life and others, and she abhors bloodshed. Temperance ‘Moderation or self-restraint’ People should conduct themselves with restraint to be able to function as whole. Nailah values the ability to considered ones deeds, thoughts, and words before conducting and social activities. Compassion ‘Sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others’ Nailah’s drive is to help people, she wants to fix things for them in any way possible and expects others to do the same, it is both a learned behavior and a natural part of her personality. Rigor ‘The quality of being extremely thorough, exhaustive, or accurate’ Being informed in all possible manners is a must in the field of medicine, one mistake or misinformation can be disastrous. However, this value carries over into her daily life, and she can be prone to over analyzing simple situations. Love ‘An intense feeling of deep affection’ Konti are oft valued for what they are and not who, as such she craves long lasting affection from people of any kind, be it romantically or platonically. She wants to be valued. Learning ‘The acquisition of knowledge or skills through experience, practice, or study, or by being taught’ Nailah enjoys this as a whole, learning of people, places, things, animals, or anything that she did not already know. Even if the learning will not lead to anything useful she enjoys participating in the event.
Her morals and values guide her ethics, and tend to showcase most of her personality as well.

Konti Gift *HD Approval* Allergic Forewarning: Nailah has the ability to know how an outside substance will affect a persons’ health. The gift is activated by touch, and cannot be turned off. Nailahs’ gift works with images, upon contact she will have an image of what it is that makes the person ill, for instance, touching someone who was allergic to bananas she would get the image of a banana. It allows her to know on a vague sense if the allergy will be deadly or mild but not exactly what the symptoms will be, so she would know if the banana reaction will be curable or not in the simplest sense. This does not always mean she or anyone else can cure it just that it will not result in immediate death because the gift does not tell her how to cure it.
Gnosis *HD Approval* Gnosis: Healing Mark 1 Healers can close shallow wounds, cure headaches and common colds, ease strained or tense muscles, and take care of minor rashes, allergies and depression. They can also deal effectively with snake bites, insect bites, and skin irritation due to plants such as poison ivy, and heal minor bruising. Healers with a singular gnosis mark can also purify deeper wounds with their touch, improving sanitation and eliminating the threat of dangerous wounds going septic or developing infection.

Nailah was raised in Mura by her mother and sisters, her father would come and visit every two years. In the year of 493AV her father offered to take her with him to his home, the child agreed. Nailah does not enjoy talking about it but shortly after her arrival she was stolen. It took her father seven years to find her, luck having it that a caravan she was being shown off was in her father’s city. He bought her back and returned her to Mura in 501AV, staying with her and her mother until his passing. His sudden passing in 513AV is what prompted her to leave Mura to search for her Call.
Post-Creation
Currently she has arrived in Riverfall and will depart on the with many others in hopes of resurrecting the lost city of Syka.
