Zaahira
An Alqatati Princess, Zaahira is the sole heir and child of her clan's chieftain, or Ra'is. She is a skilled, if naive, warrior and has opted to venture into the world to seek glory before returning to her people to become Ra'is herself upon her father's passing.
Appearance
Zaahira possesses the features of all Alqatati: a humanoid, catlike body, feline head, and the grace and speed inherent in her species. Her fur is the color of baked sand and she often wears the leather and silk armor of her people. Her primary weapon is the scimitar, an iconic weapon of the Alqatati tribes, though she is trained in the use of the bow and carries a composite bow gifted to her from her father.
Skills and Abilities
Zaahira is a skilled swordswoman and well versed in the bow. She is a gifted rider, whether horse or camel, and trained in basic diplomacy. She is fluent in Alqatati, the native language of her people, as well as Common and passable in Elvish depending on the dialect. She also possesses the inhuman grace and dexterity of her species as well as the species' natural defenses: claws.
Personality
Somewhat arrogant and aggressive, Zaahira is often impatient when faced with problems or delays. She is quick to fight and often prefers direct conflict as opposed to conflict resolution, usually to the detriment of the situation. When convinced to seek peaceful resolutions, however, she can often navigate towards a solution, albeit reluctantly at times.
