Appearance & Personality

Standing taller than the average Xaelean woman at 5'2, Maral boasts a strong body despite her petite frame due to hard and intense training. Fluffy, dark brown hair has been cut in layers and is laced with natural orange highlights. Midnight scales are scattered along bark brown skin, which save for her scarred and calloused hands, feet and shins is smooth and well taken care of. She wears only a little gloss on her full lips and a bit of eye shadow, but otherwise doesn't bother with makeup. For clothing Maral prefers anything that she feels flatters her figure, or that is loose and would do well for her in a spar. She is proud of her body, and has no qualms about displaying it, being of the belief that all beings are blessings of Azim and Nhaama, and therefore are perfect and beautiful.

While loyal, Maral has a headstrong personality, and this can land her into problems with authority if she feels strongly about something she feels is the right thing to do. She can also have somewhat of a temper when provoked, although in battle she tends to adapt as she desires to learn and grow stronger. While aware that she is young and still has much to learn, she wishes to still take the time to enjoy her life to the fullest.

Biography

Childhood & Teenage Years

Born in the Qayagahara clan, Maral (Meaning: Deer) grew up with her twin sister Kirsa (Meaning: Steppe Fox). Hailing from a relatively small clan to the west of the Steppes, Maral was in training to be Udgan, alongside her twin sister. While her sister was somewhat of a prodigious student, Maral was more average concerning the magical arts, although not for lack of trying. She found her talents more geared toward the martial, and while she is skilled and disciplined in hand-to-hand fighting, her primary skillset is in healing and geomancy.

Maral spent most of her youth learning skills from the prior Udgan, either through word of mouth or by putting words to scrolls. The clan's more frequent and recent dealings with Reunion prompted her to learn the trade language, so she knows how to read and write in the Hingan dialect. While a bit more reserved than her sister growing up, the twins were still quite mischevious, getting into all sorts of trouble with their curious nature.

The Present

Maral has been tasked to leave the clan to pursue something of value that was seen in a vision by their udgan. So far, her travels have brought her to Eorzea, and she is currently struggling to learn the language and find her way around so that she can accomplish Azim and Nhaama's will.
