KEY INFORMATION
Age: Middle of Dajakal. Late 30s, early 40s.
Gender: Female, though she is easily mistaken for male.Race: A Nakat, one of the Nakam.
Social Status: A member of the working class.
Sexuality: Pansexual, as per typical Nakat attitude. Bitter about romance.
Height: Average height for a female Nakat. 5’2.
Weight: A bit pudgy. She lost a good deal of weight after that stint on the open ocean, though she is probably still a bit wider 'round the waist than some Nakam.
Date of Birth: She’s not entirely sure; Verbali's calendars do not match up with the North's.
Homeland: The bustling trade-port of Verbali.
Current Home: Her tailory.
PHYSIOLOGY
Build: What might have once been taut has gone a bit to paunch; a bit rounder around the waist than some other female Nakam. Hips only a bit wider than her shoulders, making her shape not entirely feminine. Poor posture. Long limbed.
Fur: Her fur is longer in length, with a color-point pattern; Her face, mouth, groin, lower stomach, and the ends of her appendages are a dark brown. The remainder of her body is a lighter shade of brown. The rare hair on her tail has begun to gray; she tries to pull them out as soon as they are seen.Eyes: Brown, not unlike the color of rust. Deep-set and fairly small.
Identifying: She doesn't really stand out. Or, atleast, she didn't in Verbali; she's a Nakat. That can make her easy to spot in a land filled with the Furless.
Appearance: A short, rigid Nakat with a long, straight nose, a square, angular face, and short ears. She holds herself with authority, though it is obvious that she is still struggling to assimilate w/ the Eastern culture.
Prized Possessions:
+A waterlogged, leather-bound journal with missing pages. What's left is cracked, smeared with ink, torn, folded, and mostly illegible.
+A loose string bracelet with a few silver medallions and lapis beads hanging from it.
+Her wits.
Hygiene: Passable. Maybe. She's not crazy about cleaning herself, but if she doesn't bathe often enough, her fur clumps and mats!

QUALITIES AND FLAWS
Strengths: If there is one thing this 'kat learned from her father, it's this; always speak your mind. She's kept that ideal close to heart and is always the one to go to for a good, honest opinion, even if you do not want to hear it. She's not one to sit around and listen to something she doesn't appreciate; if you insult her, she'll be quick to fire back with equal vigor. She has a good memory; years of working around the streets of Verbali have kept her ears prime for local gossip. Working hard on the docks has also done good for her strength. She might not be the strongest woman in Altera, but she can unload a ship just as well as any other sailor. She's also capable of cunning, though it's rare she's the patience to show it. A sharp, critical mind allows her to work quickly through difficult situations, even if the choices she makes are wrong 'unappreciated'. Her realist attitude has managed to get her out of some bad situations.
Fears:+The ocean: After seeing the waterlogged bodies of her people in a sea of corpses, this 'kat has decided to avoid the open ocean for good.
Weaknesses:
One of the first things you'll probably notice about her is how prickly she is. She's quick to take offense, and once you've gotten her going it's difficult for her to stop. She's also quick to shut down others. She's a tendency to 'shut down' when things are going poorly. Other people's ideas usually don't go well with her; she's had so many failed plans thrusted upon her in the past that she's used to taking the reigns herself. She likes to think that she can think for herself. Can act a bit cold around newcomers. She can be a bit selfish since she seems to think that the world owes her a debt. She has what seems to be an incessant need to bicker. It's hard for this Nakat not to hold a grudge. Stubborn. Struggles with Tra'de- or as these Northerners call it, Common. She can hold a conversation for the most part, but she'll usually just nod and agree if she doesn't understand- can't look stupid.
Intelligence: While she’s quick to catch on, she’s yet to apply herself to learning much. She can read social cues and facial expressions well but has a rudimentary education besides. Unless the topic is on trade, docking procedure, or the local gossip, she’s not like to be well versed.
Languages: Fluent in Verba and its written counterpart, Ludkava. Picking up a lot of Tra'de recently, though she still struggles.
Profession: Tailor, seamstress.
ETHICS AND MOTIVATIONS
Personality: Seemingly rude and brash, this Nakat does not come without rare moments of seemingly good nature. Quick to point out the flaws in others but less likely to admit to her own. She tries to seem like others don't affect her, but her prickly disposition shows how easily she is flustered. Despite her abrasiveness, she truly does mean well and does what she thinks is best, even if her logic can be flawed. She's determined not to make the same mistakes she's made before but isn't willing to put in too much effort. She's expecting things to change without really trying and just wants to have a good time and to try and get back to the way things were. She just wants things to work out well for her and her people, and even though she might not show it, she'd really like the best for everyone. If she feels she's wrong, she will apologize.
Religion or Cults: She acknowledges the ancestral beliefs of the Nakam, though she's taken to calling herself a worshipper of Silas to sate the Furless.Alignment: Lawful Neutral, for the most part.
