Her hooves are black, as are her finger tips.
Deity Worshiped: Trell- Goddess of the Hunt
Background: Zeylandica's childhood was rather tragic, although she doesn't remember much of it. Her mountain tribe was almost completely annihalated in a raid by a tribe from the Steppes when she was only 3. Her mother, father, and older brother were slaughtered as she hid in a storage closet, clasping a wooden carving of Trell, praying like her mother told her too. As the door opened up an a large figure snatched her up, she instinctually jammed the sharpest edge of the carving into her assailant's eye and he immediately dropped her to floor, screaming in agony. As she hit the floor, another Steppes tribal member walked into the room and saw the site of his comrade holding is eye and rolling against the wall in excruciating pain. Zeya glared up at him with frightened but determined hiss as she clutched the bloody statuette of Trell in her hand tightly. In a strange, indearing way, he sort of half smiled at the little girl standing before him, perhaps seeing her potential. Zeya doesn't remember much after that. She was adopted by the tribe of the Steppes and raised to be a warrior and hunter. She received her first tattoo (the one across her left eye) at the age of 13, signifying her true acceptance into the clan and representing the deed that saved her life that fateful day ten years ago. Now at the age of 17, she is on her way to being expert bowman, an excellent knife thrower, a great warrior and skilled huntress for her tribe. She has very little recollection of any life other than that of being in the Steppes and earning her way each step of the way. Her only memories of that day are of a woman's face who she doesn't recognize and of holding the carved Trell statuette that she still keeps with her today. She's a worthy advesary to any man or woman despite her age and stature.
Personality: Zeylandica is tough, gruff, and outspoken. She hardly answers to anyone, elders or not. She's a rebel through and through and refuses to let anyone push her around. She's determined, passionate, and stubborn, never admitting defeat and won't ever give up. Despite being one of the smaller females of her tribe, she commands a lot of respect and perhaps at little ire for her highstrong ways and kill 'em all attitude. She has a short fuse and an explosive temper and is certainly prone to brash and irrational action. But despite her tough as nails exterior, there is a soft spot inside her for certain people and animals she cares about.
She is highly religious and worships Trell with an unbridled passion. Believing that Trell gives her strength and protects her life.
Loves: Trell, The thrill of battle, New weapons, Piercings, Galax (her theriya), The chase, and Hitting her mark.
Hates: Missing, Cooking, Desert Selenthians, Being underestimated and teased, and Having her tail yanked.
Pet Peeves: Dirty or mistreated weapons and not bathing.
Here's the second one! ^_^ And here's a link to the shell I used to name her:
