Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Mahana(means to give your best effort/work hard)

Race: Pure Leaf Earthling

Gender: Female

Home: Tale

Base Traits:

Rough- Mahana has spent most of her time without showers or much human contact. Her lack of sense for body language allows her to cross lines that most people refrain from. She tends to take jokes too far, or play a little too rough.

Defensive- Mahana thinks that she's the smartest girl her age(but, she'll always respect her elders!), and therefore believes her every thought is flawless. When her logic and reasoning are exhaust, Mahana will normally resort to rude remarks about your physical appearance. She will never admit to being wrong, but she will half-heartedly apologize if you ask for a "sorry"(this is what she's observed from most earthlings).

Bold- Mahana loves to travel to new places, although she's never left Tale. She's willing to try new things, meet new people(especially women!), and most importantly, express all of her thoughts and ideas without fear of descrimination.

Class: Assassin

Personality: Mahana is a strong, ill-mannered girl who enjoys killing as much as she enjoys eating-especially when she's earned it. She does not take criticism well, often rebutting any with a rude comment. Mahana doesn't understand body language or common courtesy-she will do whatever she wants, whenever she wants, to whomever she wants. It is for this reason Mahana does not understand concepts such as sarcasm, embarrassment, nor 'flirting". Blunt, rude, and cruel would be words that describe her well. Mahana does not take kindly to most men, and instead trusts far more in her own gender. Mahana has spent most of her life disliking males for their power over females-she would much rather everyone be equal. She enjoys fighting them though, for they are obviously more difficult to beat. Mahana will always take on a challenge, and never turns down a fight if she can help it. She is very selective(more like a 3-part test) in whom she chooses as friends. She is adept, and moves quickly on her feet. Her body and mind are like to cogs in a fighting machine. Although Mahana did not attend much school, she believes that her self-earned knowledge is much more advanced than that of others her age. She's wrong about this quite often but will never admit it! Because her parents were taken from her so young, she never fully learned "manners". Moreover, spending so much time alone allows her to be as messy and brutish as she wants.

Description: Stands at about 4"1, Brown pixie cut hair(eaiser to take care of), green eyes, long pointy ears decorated with 3 gold rings on the left and two on the right. She has light pink crystals that trickle down from her eyes. There are more crystals from the shoulder to the back of her hands. On the outer sides of both legs, mid thigh to mid-calf there are more crystals. She has a bridge piercing as well as a labret(gold balls).

Clothing(in public): Although Mahana would prefer to run nude, she enjoys "dressing up" when in public. usually sporting a green ruffled bra, with a brown belt to hold it in place(her girls are always popping out, but she doesn't care) with a gold buckle. Respective gauntlets and single right garter(green ruffle fabric, with small brown belts and gold buckles). The garter has a small pouch on the side(mostle used to hide her daggers), gold button. Green ruffle bikini-like bottoms that buckle at the sides, with a long flowing drapery between her legs(shimmery green with gold specks). Green short-boots with 3 brown belts on the side, gold buckles. Brown laces as well.

Accessories: A woven bracelet from her mother, with 8 small peridots that dangle, encircled by gold on the right side. It is the only thing she has kept from her family.

History: Mahana has spent most of her time roughing it in Tale. At 5, her house, struck my lightning, immediately caught fire and took her parents as well as all of her family's history, recipes, and heirlooms. The only surviving piece was a bracelet her mother wore that was lucky with a jeweler being repaired at the time. Mahana then traveled from one empty residence to the next(needless to say, she has no tribe), surviving off bark, leaves, nuts and berries-the fruits of the earth. Mahana was too young to kill for most meats(it's more like a delicacy to her), but rarely would spear a young poscuta that wandered a little to far from it's mother. Mahana would steal the books, maps and scrolls from every house she visited to gain knowledge(she hated school, boys were always picked first). It is for this reason Mahana is noticeably adept and acquainted with all parts of Tale. Throughout the years, she has spent everyday practicing with odd and ends of weapons, making her some-what versatile. However, her favorite weapon by far are any type of duel blades. Mahana likes the balance they give her; sturdy and reliable-something her life has never been.

Yeah I meant to put crystals xD Sorry!
I think I'm going to change the best friend thing to a jeweler? Maybe the bracelet was in repair. Still, that would leave an opening. I think Mahana was suspected of causing the fire, so perhaps the rest of the tribe shunned her, making everyone unable to take her in.
I was thinking the exact same thing to myself last night, but I pretty much assumed Mahana (now older) has found another temporary home in Tale which she hopes to be leaving as usual. I would really just like to get her out of Tale, perhaps traveling with someone(since she's never left the land herself) but if not, alone. Needless to say, Mahana has not experienced much of any other tribe so it needs to happen! :3
Eventually, I'd like her to build a new home(not sure where) to stay in permanently. That should make a nice solo!
If you are wondering where she keeps the spoils from the houses, Mahana keeps a huge stash of her knowledge in a buried trunk, only she knows the location of.

Great! Thank you! I have to work a bit today, so I probably won't be home til about that time either. c:
