Lani Stranger
Physical Appearance
Lani is blessed with the Chaktawe height and the Eypharian beauty. She stands at a height of five feet, eight inches tall, with the bronzed skin of the Chaktawe, gilded with the faint shimmer of the Eypharian. Lani has long straight black hair, which matches her pitch black eyes. High cheek bones and clear skin make her face pleasant to look at despite her unfamiliar eyes. She is lithe and lean, and while she does not possess substantial muscle, she is used to acrobatic and endurance work which keeps her muscles toned. Her Eypharian side has blessed with an exotic attractiveness not commonly seen in Kalea, a perception that Lani doesn't hold of herself.
Although she does not have the multiple arms the Eypharian, she did inherit the thick padded feet of the Chaktawe, which means she won’t wear shoes, if she can help it. Since coming to Wind Reach, she has taken to their clothing style, often found in the typical Bryda, Vinati, and Katinu. Even still she prefers to wear black clothing, or very dark colors. Except when working Lani always has her Talon Sword at her hip, as she is growing used to the weight and familiarity of the weapon. Still, this does not make Lani a terribly intimidating figure, and so she is often not perceived as a threat. Lani traditionally wears her hair down and flat although she has taken to adding small braids into her hair similar to the Inarta. Recently a close friend of hers has encouraged her to add decorations to her hair and so she can sometimes be seen with a roughly hand-carved bead and a feather or two as a way to further assimilate to Inarta culture.

Racial Traits & Abilities
What makes Chaktawe exceptional trackers, though, is their most subtle feature: the black, freckle like marks on their fingertips. These dots resemble large pores and are filled with a strange gel like substance beneath the skin. Through these dots, the Chaktawe can sense disturbances in the air caused by movement. The faster and more pronounced the movement, the more easily it is transmitted through the air and to the Chaktawe's senses. The range for this sense is around thirty feet, but for Lani is only fifteen feet. The Chaktawe can roughly discern the direction the movement came from, and the relative size of the object from the amount of energy it expels. The skill is most commonly used to find running water.
A feature unique to the Eypharians are glands on either side of the base of the neck that excrete pleasant smelling pheromones. Physically, the glands produce a small amount of what can appear to be sweat at the base of the neck. On the surface of the skin, the small glands on either side of the neck are invisible, though with pressure applied to the area, it is possible to feel the sacs nestled under the skin just above the clavicle. Each gland is the size of a large peanut and feels soft and malleable. During high pheromone production, the skin of the neck may feel moist, but it is difficult to detect gland activity visually. On an average day, pheromone production will only result in the Eypharian simply smelling pleasant. However, many factors can change pheromone production or their scent. In females, production is at its height during ovulation, to the point where it is as noticeable as strong perfume. This period lasts 3-5 out of every 28 days and is as regular as the women’s menstrual cycle. During pregnancy, female pheromones continue production, but at a lower rate and slightly different in smell, which reverts to normal levels after birth. In males and females, sweat will not increase pheromone production, but existing pheromones will smell stronger, combined with the scent of typical body odor. Immediately after washing, particularly if the glandular area is scrubbed, pheromone production will be low and the scent almost non-existent. During sexual arousal, pheromone production may increase, though how much varies from person to person.
For the duration between the 16th of Fall and the 79th of Fall in the year of 518AV, Lani had the ability to assume a Kelvic form. She was bestowed with this ability by a star that fell during Leth's domain, and her Kelvic form was that of a Jackal. Her time with this ability is documented in 'Song for the Sky'.
