.:Physical Appearance:. Amuna is a tall, beautiful young woman with olive skin and brown almond-shaped eyes. She has long black hair, generally kept tamed in a loose braid. She has three very distinctive features - small horn-line protrusions on her head, typically covered by a shawl, a forked tongue, and rough skin like scales from right hip to right shoulder with some spreading halfway to her belly button. She dresses much line other nomadic Grounders, skin covered in breathable fabric to keep the sun off and to protect herself from the sand and winds.

.:Personality:. Amuna is a charitable soul who hates seeing someone in need. She has a soft spot for outsiders, like herself, and will do what she can to aid them. While she is soft-spoken, she is actually fairly opinionated and has a temper quick to fire, but just as quick to burn out. She is a tactile person, feeling a need for physical contact with her companions. 
While she seems shy she is actually fairly open and welcoming once someone gets under her skin. She also gets sassy when she's comfortable.
.:Special Skills:. Basic hand-to-hand, adept archery, and decent skill with throwing blades (although she's rubbish at finding them in the sand afterwards.)

.:Birthplace:. The Dead Zone 
.:Family:. Mother, father, elder sister, and little brother she never met. She has not seen them in years.
Adoptive mother, Shakir, and adoptive brother Imar - both deceased.
.:Occupation:. Nomad
.:History:. When Amuna was born her parents considered hiding the small protrusions on her head as a suspected result of her mother eating too much scale-beast meat during her pregnancy. They reasoned that they were small enough for people not to notice and even spoke of cutting or filing the down and the scales on part of her body could just be easily covered. They knew, however, that they could do nothing to save their child when she cried for the first time and they saw the forked tongue within her mouth. Disgusted by the defects they cast her out to die in the desert sands.

She was saved from certain death by a nomadic woman with one child already on her hip and a third eye. She took Amuna in, gave her a name, and raised her as if she were her own. She travelled with her adopted family for quite some time until a particularly bad sandstorm trapped them in a cave. It was an illness that took Shakir and Imar's lives, one hastened by the lack of water. 

Amuna had no choice but to continue travelling on her own, heading north towards the City of Lights Shakir had told her about.
