THE ANIMAL HALF
SPECIES: Philippine Eagle
APPEARANCE: The imperial bird of the raptors, Naliths animal form lives up to its name of Haring Ibon, or Bird King. She stands at 3.5 feet in height, with a wingspan of 7 feet. Her feathers are a mixture of many colors: browns ranging from the deepest chocolate to the lightest tan, golds so bright that they appear to be molten, but at times soft enough to be a cream, and drawn from her chin to underbelly, a bold strip of the purest white. Atop the predators head is a finely tempered mix of every shade, a coronal display of color. In contrast to her fearsome appearance however, her eyes are a cool, placid grey. picture

THE HUMAN HALF
APPEARANCE: She lacks the muscular curvature shown in most travelers; having flight at her disposal, the woman never quite understood the point in actually walking long distances. The contours of her body are smooth, primarily made of gently tapering lines and rounded angles, the lady bearing a perfect hourglass figure. Despite her height of a diminuitive 5'1, her full figure and exotic features are clearly that of an adult. Naliths skin is darker tan than any touch of the sun could produce, tones a deep and warm copper hue, regardless of her time outside the natural pigmentation remaining the same. Her appearance is softened even further by the warm coolor of her hair, strands of a rich chocolate with the faintest garnet red visible in the brightest light. Gentle curls fall to her shoulders, so full and thick that they tend to spill over, encompassing her shoulders in a cascading mantle of brown The dark locks have a tendency to pass the border of her hairline, sweeping over her face in a wide flourishing bang. An adventurous early childhood has resulted in a fair share of bumps and scrapes, the most prominent being a faded gash on her left leg, the result of a slip down a ditch during one of her many daydreaming reveries. picture

In way of casual clothing she prefers a simple belted tunic and boots combination, wearing primarily darker colors simply to avoid the filthy appearance of stains. She likes the feel of the wind on her skin, and has a strong distaste for the matronly garb some healers adopt; long robes, towering collars, and flowing sleeves. Her medical robes just barely lick the ground at the back, arching upwards to the front and exposing her legs to about midthigh, allowing for greater mobility. She still has the standard collar and sleeves, and wears the robes only in darker colors, finding they make it seem a bit more acceptable for the formal occasion the calls for it.
IN DEPTH COVERAGE

PERSONALITY:

If one were to follow her throughout the day, they'd see that she really isn't much of a talker at all, instead one that talks just enough to get others to talk back. Next to flying, listening to others is perhaps her favorite pastime. Though the elaborate stories and adventures are interesting, she finds that even hearing of the day to day trifles, trials, and treats that others go through to be just as entertaining. She thrives in atmospheres of leisure and relaxation, and always ensures that she finds time to unwind with good company. Solitude is just as welcome though; what some see as loneliness, she only views as personal time to think.

Despite not always being the most outgoing, she always wears a bemused, uneven grin, her laughter coming even at the worst of jokes. Nalith is one quite comfortable with showing some friendliness. Strangers don't always get this level of treatment intitially, but even they're liable to receive some warm words, usually followed by an offer to stay and chat; she's naturally curious about everyone, and though hating the thought of herself being analyzed, knowing what makes others tick never fails to bring some satisfaction.

The warm attitude isn't fully genuine however. Not in an underhanded sort of way, where she remains courteous and cordial for personal gain. Her issue is with trust, or more specifically, trusting others on a personal level, instead of a superficial appearance of trust meant to make the other feel better about their friendship. A barrier is always in place when she feels another getting to close; to insightful to her inner mechanics. It creates a frustrating conflict within, her compassion doesn't allow the option to force others away at her leisure; as a part of her nature she longs to make others feel better, whether it be mental or physical. And so, she approaches all relationships with one stance, drawing you closer with one hand, while the other is already raised in preparedness to push you away should she feel your seeing a little too deeply into her character.

FEARS: not knowing where she is or what to do, in both the physical form of being lost, and mentally not knowing herself, being figured out by someone else.
DESIRES: the basics: to be loved, have food and shelter, and to help others mentally and physically
WEAPONS: strapped to her upper thigh, a stiletto blade dipped in a concentrated version of her own narcotic
ELEMENT: Air, with the secondary power to secrete a unique narcotic from her pores. In its mildest form it is a clear and scentless, capable of soothing weary patients when inhaled and, if she chooses to make it stronger, aiding them in drifting off to sleep. In its strongest form it is a hazy golden colored mist that seeps from her skin, a sharp but sweet smell that burns the nose, like an odd mix of pepper and vanilla. This level is so concentrated that a few deep whiffs of it can knock a creature out.
BACKGROUND
HISTORY: Naliths past is a bit of a cliche; for the most part her early history was a happy one, untouched by the turmoil and strife of the kingdoms around her. She was born among the tribes, as a child residing with her mother while her father, a mapmaker, was flying about making measurements and sketches of the land. It was a happy time; when the chores were done, she and her mother would spend their time playing games - most of what she remembers of her childhood consist of the scent of daisy chains and nights spent staring up at the stars.

The strenuous amount of travel her fathers job required eventually killed him,just before she turned fourteen, his overworked heart giving out. She and her mother were forced to move to the inner city, and though still living well, Nalith heart ached for the countryside of her childhood. Despite this, she proved her adaptability; making friends, finding new adventures, and assimilating into the rest of society with no problem. Her interest in healing likely came from her background, as a child surrounded by nature she was already familiar with all the herbs. Combine that with her natural love for healing others, and it was obvious to her what career path to take. Since taking a job, and forming connections within the city, she has become content with life as it is, but still feels a ache in her chest when remembering the simplicity of her life in the country, undisturbed by tales of war or death.

Just a little side-note: Her childhood would have been amongst the tribes, since the Kingdom of Tyrgere was born only 2 years ago. The location would be the same, though :]
