"Each time Katamba sets, my soul sings a captive melody.
It's the wolf song of my heart, so close to that of my kindred yet so different.
For they know not the soft prison I endure in what seems like an eternity."
- Avanika Tarisova
Softskin
You see Avanika Tarisova, a Rakash Empath.
She has an angular face with laugh lines, thick-lashed steely grey eyes and a straight nose. Her black hair is long and straight, and is worn pulled back in a loose ponytail bound with a violet grosgrain ribbon embroidered with draconeaia blossoms. She has pale skin and a lissome figure.
She is tall for a Rakash.
An oval black star sapphire rests on her forehead, just above her eyes.
She is a pack hunter.
She is wearing a Bone Mender "On-duty" button, a road-worn traveler's satchel cinched with a cluster of bright mirrored beads, a lavender muslin odaj intricately embroidered with a knotwork pattern in silver-colored thread, a brown oilcloth midwife's bag with a carved linden leaf clasp, a polished fir herbal case with pockets filled with dried lavender on the lid, a seamless brown leather pouch cinched with ebony leather cording, a pair of fitted leather pants in shades of grey and blue belted with strands of silvery silk, and some silvery velvet boots with shimmering moonstone clasps.

She is a pack hunter.
Past
Avanika was raised in the small village of Siksraja just outside of Langenfirth. Being an Empath wasn't a matter of choice, for she was born with a healing touch and grew into greater ability with practice and age. She officially joined the guild at the age of 24 (much older than most who join) and has since relocated to Zoluren to study beneath Annael the resident guildleader.
Personality
Avanika has a rather wry sense of humor and views her ability as a mixture of both gift and curse. She longs to hunt, especially when Katamba fills the sky, but because of her healing ability has never been able to do more than aid a chase or defend. Usually she deals with this good naturedly, however she has a harder time when graced with her moonskin and can become rather irritable.
Religion
Ava worships her traditional Rakash Gods Mrod, Enelne, Coshivi above the 13, though she does pay respect to all of the deities.
