.:Physical Appearance:. Niylah looks very much like her mother, with fair hair and a soft glow that not many of her people possess. She stands tall, and is rather athletic in build. Her hair is long and always pulled up and away from her face with intricate braids and locks. Her hazel eyes are always open and soft with compassion-- or narrowed with anger should one of her people get a little too rowdy in her father's shop. As she is not a fighter, she wears salvaged clothing that is either given to her or made. Once her mother would make the clothing her family wore but... Well, those days are gone. 
.:Height:.  5'9

.:Personality:. Niylah is fair. She is kind to those who are kind to her, and hostile towards those who are not. She is not weak, despite not being raised a warrior, but at the same time she is not the strongest of her kind. Niylah prefers brains and thoughtfulness over physical strength and admires those who possess the latter. Her compassion does not get in the way of her business dealings, though. She can be a ruthless saleswoman and sometimes this can cause problems. Being a woman does not have anything to do with the fact that she is challenged on a daily basis- that simply comes with the territory. Still, Niylah was raised well. Her father taught her to be firm and her mother taught her to be kind, leading to a very well rounded woman. Because of her compassion, Niylah still grieves for the men and women they lost to the mountain. Especially for her mother... Perhaps it is a weakness she'll never fully shake off.

.:Special Skills:. Though Niylah is not herself a hunter, or a gatherer she has an eye for quality and the charisma of a sales woman. She rarely leaves her father's trading post, and therefore has learned the skills to run it over her years. Even as a child she could sniff out a good deal.

.:Birthplace:. Tondisi
.:Family:. Niylah lost her mother less than a year ago to the mountain men. She was taken on her way to the village with clothing for their people. She never got to say goodbye, but takes comfort in knowing that blood has been taken. Her father owns the trading post where she works and lives.

.:Occupation:. Trade Post Worker
.:History:.  When Niylah was born, her mother would call her their angel. Her parents tried for so many years to conceive a child, but such a thing was hardly a simple task. Her father took pride in teaching her how to run the trading post. He taught her about preserving food and judging the value of clothing. By the time she was five, she was already helping him skin and carve game they received from hunters. She loved it... Her childhood was a happy one. She never had to learn any hard lessons and even had a tamed wild dog for a time, before he left. She looks back at her childhood with happiness, but this is mostly due to the fact that her mother was still alive. 

Niylah somehow survived her mother's passing, though at the time it was crushing. It changed her father for life, which left the weight of running the trading post mostly on her shoulders. While her father distanced himself from anything that reminded him of his late wife, Niylah worked through her grief and became stronger. The post has never been more successful with the new alliances being formed-- though Niylah is healing from a pretty serious beating delivered to her by bounty hunters looking for Wanheda. Niylah protected her as she liberated her people and avenged her mother.
