Physical Description
Sakkata is tall and muscular, with light, sky-blue skin all over. Her eyes are a pale amber color, and her long white hair is almost always in a thick braid that reaches all the way to her rump. She has a long reptilian tail, and reptilian/dragonesque feet, but there is not a scale to be found on her. Her skin is soft, but much, much tougher than a human's. She has a pretty generous bust, but her waist is not particularly thin do to the amount of lean muscle she has. She likes to wear clothes that are earth tones such as white, brown, or green. This usually consists of a simple vest that buttons/clasps up the front, with a thin undershirt that has an asymmetrical hem (one side is far longer than the other, with a rippling effect), and a pair of fairly loose pants that she can tie off at her ankles to keep out of the way of her feet, which are always bare (there is no footwear that would be able to fit on them anyway). When working with metals, she tends to wear a leather arm sleeve to block some of the heat and sudden embers/sparks. Always on her person is her ancestral sword, which is usually in a sheath at her hip. The blade, hilt, and guard are made out of one solid piece of silver, inlaid here and there with precious stones. It is infused with magical energy, and is always sought out by the Chosen to wield.
She has a cool dangly hair ornament woven into a smaller braid at the side of her face, a gift from Hatame.
A few other smaller braids now sport beads and feathers, little things her daughter has picked up and given to her.

Personality
Generally the first word used to describe Sakkata would be 'aggressive', but motherhood has changed Sakkata to some degree. She is generally much more passive these days, speaking in more tender tones with her daughter, and displaying a degree of patience she didn't even know she had. She also wishes to be a better role model overall, and as such she's learned to treat people with a basic level of respect. She speaks politely to those in La'Marri, as well as to her customers. Most people even consider her 'soft spoken' and have no idea of the fiery personality she really has.
Of course, irritation and frustration are still quick to set her off, though she's more likely to seethe with teeth bared than go into one of her infamous violent rants. All that being said, her true fury and wrath will always come boiling out of her if anything so much as looks at her daughter the wrong way.
Sakkata likes to do things her way, and always has, part of the independent nature of Drygan. She's also incredibly loyal to those she's close to, though earning her trust is a hell of a task. Her sense of honor and pride are also a bit oversized, like most Drygan. Whenever she encounters an emotion she doesn't know how to handle (like her love for Hatame) she tends to default back to anger - it's her front against uncertainty and fear.

Magic/Abilities
Her primary element is fire, and woe to those at the other end of it. She can melt the earth at her feet until it turns to magma, turn her sword into a liquid menace, and any other number of very scary fire related things. No less intimidating is her secondary power, which is that of lightening. Apart from being very destructive, Sakki also seems rather good at making people's limbs go numb with it as well (just ask Hatame). As with all other Drygan, Sakkata has the strength of a dragon in her. She also has the added Chosen bonus of being able to make herself look human. However, this involves making a magick reserve to use while in that body, so once that runs dry, the human form starts to age and then fades away, revealing her for what she truly is. Her senses are heightened, as are her reflexes.

Relationships
Family ~ Lived with her parents, no other family. They are now deceased.
Hatame ~ Equal parts bane of her existence, and love of her life. They have...a very bizarre history together. They've not been in contact for six years now.
Terri ~ A fellow Drygan, now deceased. Sacrificed herself to help save Sakkata's life.
Raamalooke ~ Raama for short, she is Sakkata's daughter, and light of her life.

History
Sakki lived with her parents for a short while, as Drygans grow quickly when they are young. By the time her physical age appeared to be 12, her real age some years less than that, they were attacked. Drygan know that the Chosen is at their most vulnerable as a child, but though the three attackers managed to kill Sakkata's defending parents, she killed them in return with her still budding powers. After that, it was always time to run for her (She cannot not stay in one place too long, for her power begins to build up a detectable aura around wherever she's at, and Drygan can track her down).
Needless to say, most of her encounters with Drygan have been...violent. She did meet the once-slave Terri, who was most reverent towards Sakkata's powers, and they soon became friends. She, along with Hatame, became Sakki's first and only real friends and companions. Terri even sacrificed herself to help bring Sakkata back after death, Hatame nearly following suit, showing their loyalty and bonds to each other.
After knowing Hatame for years and years, she finally realized she'd developed feelings for him (and he felt the same) but their 'relationship' was still dysfunctional and rocky at best. Though when the infrequent Drygan urge to mate appeared, she literally hunted him down and took him as her mate. Unfortunately, once she regained herself, she realized just what exactly she had done. She waited a few weeks to be sure, but it was undeniable, her own body telling her she'd conceived. A strange new panic welled up in her - she and Hatame had only just begun to work through their own awkward issues, and he himself didn't seem the commitment type, and she was the Chosen! Any child of hers was an instant target.
Overwhelmed, she had fled to find seclusion, a natural Drygan desire when pregnant, though she was not actually aware of it at the time. She adjusted her hormones to put off the birth as long as possible, wandering aimlessly (her instincts wanted her to find a suitable nest site, but again she was hardly even aware of it), before finally she could stall no longer. She ended up back at her own childhood home, dilapidated as it was - there she gave birth to her daughter, Raamalooke. It wasn't until after Raama was born that Sakkata realized in full force the mistake she had made - but at that point, it was too late to rectify it. She wanted to go out and find Hatame, but she would not risk her daughter's health with that much traveling and uncertainty.
Six years later, and her daughter might finally be old enough to travel with her - but by now, she's not entirely sure Hatame would want to see her anyway, so she remains in a state of indecision.
