Appearance Notes:

• Uses the two pairs of spines on her face to detect movement underwater, and also to emote 
  
• THE CLAW(s)™ are held at rest much like a wing, but can be extended forward and out in most directions. The carapace on them will shed continually as she grows and ages.
• Fins were very thin and mostly transparent/colorless at birth. Full color set in by her first birthday, and fins will continue to toughen as she ages, though she'll probably develop a few tears here and there.
  
• Has iridescent black scales along her topline that aren't really visible from a distance. They roughly cover the area that is affected by sooty and her lower legs.
  
• Her toes spread pretty wide apart and are webbed in a way similar to a dog.
  

Personality: 
    Will develop more as she ages, but as a filly Kelahia is happy-go-lucky, prone to tripping over her own feet, and always eager to cheer others up. She loves animals and fish- especially brightly-colored ones! She also super-duper loves Mamma and Papa and is very proud to be daughter of the Hihiri Chieftain! While they attempt to show her how to hunt, for the time being Kelahia is only slightly less clumsy in the water than she is on land. She loves sweet fruits though, and traipsing through the jungle looking for them- using her dexterous claws to grab them from right off the branch.

History: 
   Kelahia was born the treasured first child of two loving Hihiri hunters. Growing up, she spent much of her time with her father, the chieftain, as he tended to matters of the tribe throughout the islands. As a yearling, she gained not only a younger sister, but a best friend in Lohilde, who would later be adopted into her family.

    As three-year-olds Kelahia and Hildy underwent their vigil with the other colts and fillies of their year. After a long and confusing series of dreams, Kelahia recounted her experience to the Holy One, who hesitantly declared her a Warrior- having had a vision of protection. Her spirit animal: the tusked peccary, who fearlessly defended its own from the world's many dangers.

   After receiving her role, Kelahia was uncertain how to feel. She was a gentle soul, and more than a bit clumsy, which made training with the other young warriors a difficult and frustrating experience. When news of the race for the Formaris stones reached the islands in late 1999, Kelahia was too absorbed in her own personal conflict to really understand what was going on. The following spring, while on patrol, she came across a pair of outsiders searching the islands for their lost possessions. Surprised by the strangers' friendly demeanor, Kelahia offered to help them in their search. After parting ways, she was able to locate three of the mysterious objects that they'd lost, but with no way of returning them! Eventually, after spilling the beans to Warchief Lohané and fellow warrior Kitana, Kelahia and her compatriots are swept away to face the Water Formaris Trial in the underwater ruins of Wakainga. Before getting too far in their exploration, however, the warriors were swiftly and inexplicably transported right back home. Kelahia parted ways with Kitana and Lohané, only to return to Wakainga that evening with another of her collection of tridents. She is once again unceremoniously evicted, but not without spoils- the treasured Water Formaris Stone Scale! The very next day, on the first day of autumn, fate brought Kelahia and Noaxmi together again, and after revealing the scale to her, Kelahia agreed to accompany Noaxmi to return the scale to the goddess Astraek, to whom (she was told) it originally belonged.

    After that a whirlwind of changes seemed to flurry around her- the summoning of the water dragon and subsequent wellspring, the buzz of activity among Noaxmi's people, the Shadows, and then the silence of winter, during which a blanket was thrown over the magics of the world. With Noaxmi unable to teleport her home, Kelahia was stuck in the citadel of the Shadows, doing her best to care for her ailing golden friend. On the first day of spring, the world very suddenly and dramatically balanced itself, launching the citadel into the sky to orbit the new floating-island home of the Shadow Vanguard- Skymarr Island. Though Noaxmi's condition seemed to improve, she permanently lost the use of her magical abilities, and Kelahia decided to stay with her and her family for a while before attempting to return home.

    In the last few years Kelahia has taken up a quiet place among the Shadows. She tends to stick around Noaxmi's family, though she does take it upon herself to tend to the Restless Waters below the citadel, considering it a sacred place of healing. Kelahia can also often be found in and around Sky's Landing, though the shallow freshwater lake leaves something to be desired to the former ocean-dweller.

Skills & Talents:

Abilities: Stonewall, Fortitude, & Hawkeye

The tanks of Anomalous, Stonewalls are the strongest of the strong!  Not many can best a Stonewall in battle… except maybe another Stonewall!  A veritable brick wall, those with this ability make excellent guards or warriors and excel in fields that require brute strength.
+15 Strength Skill Cap (ie, 115 instead of 100; keep build caps in consideration!)

If there were ever an endurance race across Anomalous, it would be more than likely that someone with the Fortitude ability would be the winner!  Those with this ability can travel the farthest distances without getting tired or fight the longest in battle.  It is particularly useful for anyone who travels great distances on the daily or those who fight for a living.
+15 Stamina Skill Cap (ie, 115 instead of 100; keep build caps in consideration!)

Equids blessed with this adaptation are said to have the best eyesight in Anomalous!  They can see over far greater distances than those without the Hawkeye adaptation and see the world in far greater detail.  Very useful for scouting or hunting.  May or may not have a nictitating membrane.
+10 Agility Skill Cap (ie, 110 instead of 100; keep build caps in consideration!)
