Akilah Windsong of the Diamond Clan  Race: Human (Drykas) Birthday & Age : 19, 14th of Summer, 495 AV Gender: Female Companion Information Strider’s Name: Adámas (four years old), a pinto with creme, white, and reddish colouring. Bozderon Shadow Dog: Vespera (nickname: Isra) Physical Description Akilah is a brunette with long hair, reaching her waist. There are a few wraps in her braided hair, mostly consisting of clear beads/crystals and white cloth. She is 5’7” and has her first windmark is running up her arm and down her neck/chest. She walks quickly, with her eyes occasionally roving the land warily. When she dresses, it’s in various shades of blue, white, and grey, imitating the sky. Considering how carefully the cloth is weaved together, her clothing does this imitation rather well. So as to not limit her movement in battle, Akilah wears sleeveless shirts and shorts as long as the weather is warm enough. She has silver bangles on each wrist and takes them off to aide with her fighting as well. On her ears is a pair of diamond earrings from her mother. Character Concept Akilah is outgoing and boisterous, having played with her brothers and other boys her age or younger for the most part. She knows how to wheedle her way to get what she wants; such has when her father is at his weakest or what to give her grandmother in order to get away scot-free. When she’s excited, her voice rises and she talks faster until someone reminds her to calm down as they can’t understand her. Her father raised her to speak her mind and speak honestly, which sometimes leads to conflict because she doesn’t know how to discern between what can be said and what’s better left unspoken. While this is not as troublesome within her clan, it has been an issue at times when she’s visiting other places. As well, she doesn’t quite understand lies—dishonesty is something she hasn’t encountered throughout her childhood. She’s easily impressionable because of this and thinks that whatever people tell her is the truth. Her mother is a warrior—far more skilled than her father and so she’s more often out, guarding and fighting then her father is. For the most part, her father has raised her and trained her. Her grandmother has also raised her and they are very close. For her mother, Akilah admires her and almost idolizes her—she’s her role model and Akilah wants to be like her and gain her respect. She respects Zulrav, immensely. Her mother has two-marks gnosis, her cousin one, and various other relatives a smattering of levels. Ever since she was little, she has learned about Zulrav and how he aides in battle. Akilah prays to him regularly, especially to safe-guard her mother and to help her learn battle. Other than that, though, she’s not very interested in magic beyond a cursory curiosity. She’s sixteen and hasn’t experienced much of the world yet. She’s very curious, though, and wants to explore. Her mother has told her many stories as a child and she wants to see those places for herself. Job: Working as a goat herder Ethics She believes in honesty in all things and doing everything to the best of your abilities. Especially, she doesn’t agree with running away when there is something you can do. Likes/dislikes She likes wide, open spaces the most as she is used to the plains of her land. Conversely, she is fearful of closed spaces and while she knows this is a disadvantage, she is having issues getting over it. She also hates being tied down and chained in any way. She likes being able to choose what she will do, even if it is a simple choice, she likes at least having the power to do so. Her favourite meals include meat and she dislikes bananas immensely. She also fears the dhani for snakes are deadly in the plains and she has seen horses hurt because of them. Character History Her childhood hasn’t been anything unusual. Her younger uncle died in battle when she was ten and after that she started to pray more regularly to Zulrav to protect her mother. When she was 15, her strider came to her and it is after that she was allowed to train on her own. She wants to improve and though she is no genius, she does have some aptness in battle. Language She is fluent in Pavi, has a basic understanding of Common, and only knows a few chance phrases in Tukant from when they migrate near the Akalak. Skills, Lore, and Possesions  Skills
