Maya❀
❶════════════════╝



Name: Maya
Race: Alkidike
Gender: Female (as all pure Alkidike's are)
Stage: Blade
Aspirations: Archer
Personality: Maya is a highly inquisitive Alkidike with a keen eye for detail. To her own tribe of sister's Maya is open and friendly and most would consider her warm and caring. To outsiders, Maya may appear to have little to no emotions at all. She is skilled at keeping her emotions and thoughts buried deep within herself. Thought that isn't to say she wouldn't make friends with just about anyone. Maya tends to enjoy spending most of her day hunting and exploring the forest of Jauhar around her. Though she hears stories Maya rarely takes anything on faith believing she must see the results with her own eyes before a conclusion can be drawn. She is never brash nor thoughtless and will more often think something through before rushing into trouble.

Maya is not always steady, though she is skilled at moving through the upper canopy of the trees. When exited or her concentration is quickly drawn in another direction, this young Alkidike has been known to drop a thing or two through her fingers. Her attention can be diverted rarely if there is something more pertinent to her situation than what she was currently focused on. She favors collecting small flowers and fungi that grow around her home and has been known to store them in her room. She is also a highly independent girl and though she follows rules she will think of the consequences first.

Maya is also a very prideful Alkidike, her tribe must not be able to see her waver in strength or skill and she is always competing to prove her worth. Never the first to end any relationship, she is generally the first to bond them. Through that the young woman is highly protective of her friends and knows her place in the world though she often tests it as she believes the world belongs to her and her sisters. Despite her love of the trees and the feel of the wind through her hair, Maya cannot resist the urge to submerse herself in the waters of her world. Swimming is her favorite pastime next to observing the land around her.

History:As with all Alkidike's Maya was born from the sacred Aisha tree, the home to her kind. Growing up she had formed many friends where she constantly competed in hide and seek, tag, and various other children games. Danger never came to the well protected islands and so Maya had grown up in peace. School she had considered rather fun and interesting though not for the odd disappearance of an Alkidike child who had strayed to far away from home ignoring the safety that had been outlined for them to follow.

Maya was always good at following rules and though she may not be a leader she was highly independent and a few of her friends ended up depending on her from time to time. As she and a few of her friends grew older they had heard of a forest away from the islands where they would be able to explore and survive. Exited by the news Maya and her friends left in a small banded tribe in search of a home in the strange forest of Jauhar. It had taken them several hot months of travel before the group had arrived in front of a rather large Emergent tree. Unsatisfied by the appearance of their first home, Maya set out each day in search of a better tree until she managed to come across one that satisfied her another month later. Some of her friends refused to leave the tree and so Maya and three other girls left for the new found tree.

Family
❶════════════════╝

Elder Kishku - A very old and energetic Alkidike she traveled with the prentice sisters to care for them and teach them when they left their mother Aisha. She is a source of guidance and comfort to the younger four. Never leaving her home after the hardship that was endured in trying to find it. She cares for the other girls as if they were her daughters and doesn't take kindly to any earthlings. No exceptions made. She does attack on sight, assuming she can still see. Sometimes the girls wonder.

Niebet - A fiery Alkidike she is a rare one among her kind and taunts Maya endlessly about her weakness in caring for the strange earthlings. Of the four young Alkidikes Niebet is the youngest Sister who lives in the same tree. Her origins are unknown to the girls, however Neibet seems to enjoy keeping this part of herself a complete secret.

Teiluj - Maya's daughter. She was abandoned and now belongs under Maya's care. Even if she isn't related by blood they are still a very close mother and daughter. Teiluj believes in all her heart that Maya really is her mother, and her father just up and left the two of them to fend for themselves in the harsh world of the Alkidies.

Long, pointed ears, black, bug-like eyes, and antennae characterize this completely female species. Standing, on average, between five and six feet, they loom above most Earthlings.

This unique band of sisters originates from Chibale Island. At the center of the island is Aisha, the shimmering, brilliantly blue tree from whose rich, pink, lotus-like flowers every Alkidike is born. A strong-willed tribe of warriors and mystics, they consider themselves to be the oldest species and, thus, have deemed it their duty to explore the entirety of Tendaji.

Although they return to Chibale to breed and perform spiritual rites, the Alkidikes have settled in Jauhar, the rainforest on the mainland. They primarily dwell within the smooth, violet trunks of the tallest, straightest, most awe-inspiring emergent trees in the region. Entrances to their vertical homes are often hidden underground amongst the trees’ deep, intricate networks of roots. The Alkidikes can travel easily through their trees, allowing them to access the upper canopy, where food is particularly abundant.

These women feel entitled to the land and do not appreciate having to share their home with the Shifters. A tension has been created through this dissension that has turned Jauhar into a bloody battle field on more than one occasion.
