a character in “Altaea Saga: Song of the Ancients”, as played by SkullsandSlippers

Description

Nickname:Ona
Age:22

She has deepset scars on her wrists from ropes.

Ability:
Capable of using a dagger but prefers to avoid conflict where ever she can.

Born with the ability to see remote locations in her mind's eye. Ability to tame animals.

Personality

Onatha is quiet, shy. At least when she is in public. She tries hard to hide what she is whenever her tribe encounter those who might shun them, which is just about everyone.

Within her tribe, Ona is happy, bubbly and talkative.
Unlike others in her tribe Ona is not musically inclined. She cannot carry a tune or play an instrument. Ona can however sew beautiful clothes and her skill is often sought after.

Ona likes the cool night in the deserts. She enjoys fruit when they can get it and she loves to dance.

She hates being stuck indoors for great lengths of time. (Who could blame her?) She scares easily.

Onatha knows she cannot stay anywhere for very long but she longs to have someone to talk to. Her greatest wish would be to have someone who would look past what she is and be her friend.

She'd welcome anyone who would welcome her but that does not happen. She has quietly resigned herself to a life of fleeing, and loneliness.
Onatha is nervous around new people but a bit of kindness means a great deal to her.

Ona is torn between wanting to go back and join a tribe, to be amoung the people she knows and the call of the world around her. The tribes offer warmth, companionship and familiarity. The rest of the world offers adventure, freedom and loneliness.

The pros and cons of both run through her head constantly. Going back also means facing Kylia, if he is still alive and even cares to remember her. Staying in the cities means the chance at a different life.

Equipment

Onatha wears a light cloak with a hood. Anytime someone other than another of her kind are near by she hides her face under the hood. Better to hide then be cast aside simply for how she looks.

Her blue dress is of a light material. Best for the heat. She wears two large bands. One on each wrist.

She has sandles on her feet.

She carries a small purse on her hip, held by a rope belt. Also on her belt is a dagger. Her purse contains a needle, some thread and a few coins.

History

When Onatha was very young her father struck a bargain with another tribe. His daughter to marry into the other tribe. In return there would be a truce between the two tribes and the use of each other's trade routes. Her father stood to gain a great deal simply by marrying her off.

When she turn 17 her future family met with her tribe and the preparations for a large wedding commenced. In the other tribe, the Nurlia, there was unrest. There was man who wished to become the new head of the Nurlia. He made his move as the wedding was coming together.

The night before her wedding, Ona found herself with a blanket over her and she was being carried away. She heard cries and screams from around her but could not see anything.
When the blanket was removed she was bound by her wrists to the back of a caravan. A man with a sly grin was smiling at her. Kylia loked at her, his purple eyes black in dark desert night. "They are all gone now, I am head of the Nurlia. As such you will be my bride. Then both tribes will be mine."

Onatha walked behind the caravan for days. The ropes bit deeply into her wrists. She did not cry. She knew it would do her no good.

They stopped to make camp the fourth day. She heard the murmurs that very few had survived and those that did were expected to acknoledge Kylia as the head or suffer for it.

Ona worked on the ropes tirelessly. She used her teeth, anything she could get her hands near. She rubbed them against the caravan.

Finally, they started to fray. She worked harder and then in the dead of night she managed to get them to break apart. Quietly, she stole into the camp. She took a dagger, and headed back towards where her tribe had made camp.

It took her days, and she was parched, hungry and dehydrated when she finally reached them.

There were bodies everywhere. Members of both tribes lay out in the sun, the scavenging animals were everywhere. Through tears she managed to find food and gathered up some items. With her family behind her she headed off with whatver supplies she could carry.

Ona traveled for years. She made some coin sew and mending in some of the smaller towns. She did her best to keep her identity hidden. She never stayed long in any one place both by choice and by necessity.

So begins...
