"This is our homeland, and whether you be Empire or Lustria, you will not take her from us, or so be damned!"
Height: Tika is immensly tall, true to her kin. Her towering frame is nearly 7ft, very lanky and slender. This causes her to maintain a appearance of authority when not around others of her own kind. Very useful in the field, in which her height can comfort, amaze, or intimidate
Weight: Slightly heavier than most females of her own kin, she weighs nearly 180 lbs, which is natural of a stronger female.
Hair style: It is tradition of her kin to wear their hair in think bunches, held in place with a pair of ornate bone pins and/or a bone comb. These highly polished and beautifully crafted items are considered rights of passage into womanhood in her peoples tribal traditions and Tika holds herself to the same tradition.
Hair Color: The hair of her kin vary often between a deep red, rustic browns, or on the lighter end, light greens. Their hair colors, oddly, are not determined by parents and seem to have random genetic codes.
Tika herself is a of a standard deep red, hardly standing out from others.
Eye Color: Almost all of her kin have yellow, feline eyes, though this varies in hue from golden orange or even amber.
Amber eyes, that Tika has, are considered highly desirable for their rarity amonst her tribal kin. In the slave markets, amber eyed Saborion go for nearly 10 times the wealth of any other hue.
Personality: Tika is a leader who inspires with being just themselves. Pure strength of character and personality, as well as downright honesty, she would be considered rude by many of the "Prissy" nobles, expecially lacking in social equiette. (for example, Tika insists on eating food with her hands, and does not stand on ceremony whether she is in front of a king or beggar.)
However, this is all mostly show. Her ignorance does not come from not knowing something, but rather pretending she does not. She desires that most others view her as a "Savage", so that when she suddenly turns the tables, she has the upper hand.
To those who care to get past her various flaws, they would see a philospher and inventor, as well as a cunning ally.- However, she has several great personality flaws that make her questionable as a leader. Her temperment is a bit hard to predict, as she can be fickle and naive. Her outright trust in others will be her undoing, and so her pride.
-A lover of food, sport (expecially dueling and war games, as well as the hunt), and other females, her "party" attitude is popular with the people, but rather difficult for most nobles to grasp.
Land Postion: Tika has taken up her small fortress on a defensible hill top next to two rivers, which both have several minor garrisons that can be reinforced as necessary. These rivers connect her with the central highways, and even after a long float, to the seaward ports in the east, making her postion invaluable to the fortune of Lustria.
History: Serving as a common infantry member, Tika rose to power through the support she inspired in the people.
