Ka'la

[Ka'la]

Ka'la Appearance Race: Konti Gender: Female Age: 66 Birthday: 73rd of Winter, 448AV Birthplace: Mura Appearance: What do you look like? Ka'la is thin, but fit. She is about 5'2". She has delicate features, and a slight build, but she is definitely not weak. There are white scales on her feet, up her legs, across her back, down her arms, and on the backs of her hands. She also has scars along her legs, torso, and back, which are all leftovers from beatings. She has lightly colored but dull blue eyes and short white hair. On either side of her navel is a tattoo of a bat wing, the wings together representing the Zith family that once owned her. Character Concept Ka'la has grown to be fairly prone to emotional outbursts and other sorts of impulsiveness over the years. She feels she needs to do whatever it is that she wants to feel free, which is why she gives in to her impulses. Even though she has spent most of her life free, her time as a slave seemed to last an eternity, and so it colors every aspect of her life. Even her Gift is affected. While she was raised to be a very moral child, she's grown somewhat more cynical of the world, and disregarding of rules. She still doesn't condone taking from others, considering all that was taken from her, but she doesn't express distaste towards most activities usually considered distasteful by polite society. Ka'la loves the power of choice. She loves choosing to do something with no one to tell her she can't. She likes fighting, flirting, and drinking. On the flipside, she has strong disgust towards the entire concept of slavery. She is also unnerved by the idea of being with a man in a romantic context since the face of her 'mate' still haunts her. This also means she is distrustful of Zith in general. Character History Born in Mura, Ka'la had a fairly normal life with her mother and older sister. When she was 32 years old she left Mura to see more of the world. Shortly thereafter, she was captured by a group of Zith, who kept her as a slave for 20 years. She was made to do manual labor, to use her Gift, to use her knowledge of medicine, and even to bear a child for one of the Zith men who decided for her that she was his mate, though she was never allowed to see her daughter and she knows not where the child was taken. The Zith were not kind masters. In addition to the work one would expect to have as a slave, they also were particularly brutal to slaves that failed to follow orders, even if it was because they weren't capable of complying. Over the years, Ka'la got her fair share of beatings. Eventually, after twenty long years, she managed to pull off an escape. Ka'la wandered through an unfamiliar wilderness for several days, narrowly avoiding the creatures that posed her a threat, till she met up with a traveling caravan. They offered her a ride back to the town they were headed to, and she accepted. Upon later reflection, she realized that, because she had been so lost in the wilderness, she couldn't even point out on a map where her captors had been. After escaping to freedom, Ka'la traveled for a while, visiting Kalea, Avanthal in Taldera, and then stopping in Syliras. She had planned on going home, after so many years. As far as she knew, her family knew nothing of what had happened to her. But something stopped her from going home. She couldn't face her family. Having so much grief over having lost so much of her life. So much time, so much freedom was gone forever. So, to feel free, she went to the place she had heard was most set on freedom: Sunberth. There she stayed, performing odd jobs or participating in bet upon street fights for mizas. It wasn't what she wanted, but she had chosen that path. The mere act of choosing made it feel special to her. Having come to a point where she felt broke, and then moving to a place where she felt free, Ka'la has become somewhat impulsive. Now she spends most days fist fighting for mizas or hitting on other women in the nearest tavern, bar, or other place that specializes in serving alcohol.

For example, if someone was abused as a child and this haunted their adolescence, she might be able to get flashes of those memories. It is important to note this can only happen if the person is actively remembering that memory. Ka'la can't go digging around in someone's head for bad memories. In terms of a location, using a battlefield as an example, Ka'la could go to that location and possibly get flashes of the battle as it happened. However, due to her past trauma, Ka'la's own memories sometimes impose themselves on the memories she sees and, as a result, she tries not to use her Gift whenever it can be avoided. As a result, she often suppresses it with alcohol as she does not have full control of when she activates her Gift.
