Gender Female
Species KulshedraHeight 5'9"

Residence Mountains outside Fell, typically.
__________________IN-DEPTH STUFFPhysical DescriptionThough tall by most traditional standards, Nala has always felt to be a bit on the small side for her people, and she's not very happy about it. Still, she has a lean sort of strength to her body, just barely offset with some slight curves to the hips and a rather trim waist.
Her skin is deeply tanned, contrasting quite starkly sometimes with the opalescent scales that frame her face and trace of her body as well as covering her tail. Her eyes are a deep maroon sort of color, most reminiscent of a natural fire opal (unlike the white opal set in her chest). Her hair is cut in a choppy style that frames her face and highlights the streaks of blues, greens, and golds that run through the snowy white.
PersonalityBeing born an opal in Kulshedra society is a rare, blessed thing. As such, Minala was honored with a true name much younger than most who earn one, and has always been seen as desirable- her family, her tribe, in particular the males, lavished her with attention from a young age.
Minala is not exactly "spoiled" by this treatment, but it has certainly had an effect on her. She carries herself with an air of regality, as though she owns each step of ground she walks on and she knows it. She can be a bit abrasive, even demanding, but she normally means well. Truthfully, she is rather lonely, and despite her best efforts to make meaningful connections she never seems to quite manage it.
Magic/AbilitiesA minor gift of Sight that manifests in flame, though she doesn't use it consciously and it is simply viewed as an extension of her high status in her tribe.
RelationshipsHer tribe, and her parents, though that relationship can be a bit strained
HistoryAs an Opal, Minala was expected to become a great spiritual leader for her people from a very young age. She was essentially apprenticed under her tribe's Elder, and spent more time with the old woman growing up than she did with her own parents.
As she grew older, her blessed gift of the Fire came to be viewed as her true calling- she would serve as counselor to the Elder and an interpreter for her tribe, born to read the signs of Fire and relay them to her people.
