Appearance:
Leha is an odd yet pretty human, standing at around 5’5”. She holds a rather slim and agile build, designed for running through thick environments at decent speeds. Her stature, however, still holds a good amount of muscle. Her legs and arms – especially the arms – hold the most. Those in her legs – formed from years of hiking and traveling – help her maneuver, turn quickly, and hurdle over decently sized objects. Meanwhile, those in her arms formed from years of hunting – specifically with a bow and arrow. These muscles allow for incredibly quick movements when nocking arrows. She is even considered to be one of the fastest when it comes to this skill. Her middle section is also pretty strong, but still needs some work – with lifting heavy objects being her main weakness. Physical fighting is also not her forte, being used to hitting at distance and having little experience with this form of combat. If a close up battle ensures, there’s little she can do.
The Faolain girl’s skin color can be considered to be rather surprising, given her tribe's known area. A rather light-tan makes up her complexion, likely accumulated from time in sunny clearings. A few scars decorate her skin, painted with a pale skin tone. These old wounds – namely cuts – come from plants such as briars and roses, as well as some bite marks from wild animals such as snakes. However, the most interesting of them comes from the obvious human-inflicted scars – looking as though she was forcefully thrown to the ground or outright hit. When questioned, she never answers truthfully, brushing it off with the claim she was just clumsy.
The biggest oddity of this girl is her eyes. Dull purple in color – almost mistaken for a shade of indigo or blue – really causes her to standout from the crowd, a kind of recognition that she wishes she didn’t have. It is unknown how or why Leha has purple eyes. She has no ailment that would cause such a coloration in her iris. However, many believe the oddity is due to her father having gray eyes and her mother having blue. In other words, the colors combined. Long, dark brown hair covers her head, framing her face in an interesting way. The parting of the hair is not centered, located more so to the right of her head – giving each side an uneven amount of hair follicles. The left side – due to having more – curves around the side of her head, coming very close to her eye but not covering it. It can come so close that one cannot see the skin that becomes before her eye. Her lips are a natural shade of pink, being more on the darker and dull side for the color. A scar runs across the right side of her mouth, cutting through this color with the pale skin seen on the rest of her scars.
Leha’s clothes are more for usefulness and practicality, rather than fashion. She dawns a green shirt, akin to that seen on pine trees or ferns. The shirt carries no decoration other than a few stains from hunting trips. No blood, but plenty of mud and pollen. Tan pants compliment the green, creating a forest-like blend of colors. These pants share the stains of the shirt, just with more visible green plant stains. Leather boots finish off her main outfit – strong and durable yet lightweight with a lot of traction. The leather of the boots takes up a dark brown complection. A leather cloak with a fur hood – likely that of a gray wolf’s – drapes over her shoulders. Its leather is decorated at the bottom, having a mix of green, white, and golden swirls. She almost always has the hood up, as to keep her eyes hidden. On her left ear, a silver earring pokes out, but does not dangle. The earring has a spherical shape and holds an opal in its center. No such earring can be seen in her right ear.
Personality:
Quiet || Lonely || Kind || Somewhat Peaceful || Determined || Pushover || Defensive || Conflicted/Uncertain
Leha is and was a very quiet girl, rarely speaking unless spoken to. When approached, she will only use nods and hand movements to converse. It takes a lot of persuasion to have her partake in any conversation, including those concerning her. It is unknown what exactly gets her talking as she takes interest in a variety of concepts. Though, she does enjoy a good conversation. Just, not when other people start it. Oftentimes, she won’t know what to say – having little experience in social interactions – and doesn’t wish to embarrass herself or anger the speaker. Well, that is, before the snap occurred. Now, she loves not saying a word, especially when it drives people mad. While not very talkative, the tan skinned girl despises being alone – even if she often is. She finds it rather terrifying to be so, as though there is always something out to get her when no one is around.
Somehow, despite the snap, the brown haired girl managed to hold on to some semblance of kindness. While she does not exactly put others before herself, she is fond of aiding others – especially the wounded and sick. To her, this provides a purpose to her existence – one she felt she had been lacking. She also dislikes seeing anything in pain – likely a trait cumulated from her mother. However, she will not risk her life to save anyone. If healing someone means risking her own life, consider them a goner.
Like her kindness, the purple orbed female has retained some level of peacefulness. She detests most violence and avoids it when she can. When a fight breaks out, she will threaten the offender and talk things out as best she can – in hopes they will break off the attack. However, if they make one wrong move, she will go against her peaceful nature. Aside from detesting violence, Leha just simply loves the quaint moments of life. The ones where she can just sit back and not have a care nor worry in the world. She will often leave the group in search of these moments, mostly picking areas around small springs or streams. Anywhere where nature completely rules. A lot of inner monologue takes place during these times – self reflections, questions, plans for any interaction she may face, and the like.
Leha has always been known for her hard-headed determination. Once she decides on anything, she will stick to it until the very end – even if it is considered outlandish or horrible. She never admits defeat, pushing herself until she can no longer stand. No attempt to change her mind will ever work, no matter how persistent the other being is. It’s best to go along with whatever she has in mind so she doesn’t get hurt.
However, this Faolain girl is a major pushover – easy to walk over and compliant. When asked to do something, she often will – as long as the request is not outrageous. Even when against it, she will generally comply if the person is “intimidating” enough. However, after the snap, she had grown defensive – not taking any crap from anyone. She will speak her mind (in her own way) and has become less cooperative. Upon a request, she’ll question what it’s for and decide from the answer whether to grant them their wish. Now, if anyone so much as attempts to push her around, she will push them back.
Leha has been rather conflicted and uncertain since the snap, rather than her previously indecisive nature. While still having some of the indecisiveness, she is more concerned over what is right and what is wrong instead of what to do. She especially questions her actions during the night of the ceremony. At the time, it felt right. So, so right. Finally, after all these years, those who treated her so poorly would experience exactly what she felt all that time – if not worse. But now, she’s not so sure. Her mind is telling her yes… but her heart is telling her now.

Other:
- Leha is only interested in guys, but does not actively pursue them. Though, she will be more interested in those not from her tribe.
- Leha had wonderful parents before the snap. They treated her like any good parents would. However, the same could not be said for her tribe or siblings.
- Leha is a decent hunter, having practiced a bit before the snap. However, her main strength comes from her knowledge of herbs. She knows many remedies and often carries around a bag of them, in case of an emergency.
- Leha was… unsure whether she should get bonded the night of the ceremony. On one hand, she didn’t feel ready. What if she gets bonded to the wrong beast? What if the beast doesn’t like her? On the other, she wanted – no – needed a beast. Maybe then she wouldn’t be alone. Maybe then people would leave her alone. Maybe then she would finally have someone who would understand her for her. But look at where that got her.
