__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description:
Jael has tanned skin and a lithe, muscular body; her muscles are well-defined but not large. Her right eye is a deep red. The left eye looks like it should be the same except the red is just a ring around a white space where the iris color should be. Her facial features are very angular and sharp. Her hair is a dirty brown, with streaks of lurid orange running through it. She keeps her hair short, and combs the messy strands to the left; this leaves some shorter strands sticking up.

She has a collection of scars all over her body, and tries to display them out of pride. She has: one large scar across the right side of her abdomen; a smaller one just above her chest; quite a number on her legs; two that stretch up from her chin, one of which reaches her nose; a scar that crosses over her right eye; and an x-shaped scar above her left eye.

She made a number of the things she wears herself. Typically, she wears a pair of brown leather capris, with the material held above the knees with two shiny orange stone clips. She has a yellow and brown checkered tube top, some burnt orange fingerless gloves, and short boots that are messily dyed orange at the toes and yellow at the ankles. Her favorite accessory is a hair piece made from a collection of feathers, ranging from tan and black striped, to sienna, to a darker orange color. She wears this on the right side of her head, and the longest feathers reach her chin.


Personality:
Ever since Jael was running about underground, she’s loved her life. She enjoys being admired and pampered but doesn’t always reciprocate. Typically, she is easy to get along with, even with her brashness, and she secretly enjoys being the center of attention. However, she keeps very busy without meaning to. There are so many activities that she enjoys, and she wears herself down with too many responsibilities. She always speaks her mind and isn’t scared of anything, but also keeps her powerful emotions in check when necessary. She knows when to emote and when to repress. Jael has high emotional maturity from her years of experience. She can be fierce and courageous when she lets her emotions out, and is the queen of every situation. She will lay back and then attack until others give her want she wants.

She feels that she has to be the boss, and she loves to control others. While she’s wild at heart, she does have some hidden soft spots. She is a cohesive force, wanting to inspire others to follow her lead and bring many people together for a common cause. She excels in work situations but also facilitates a lot of social gatherings. She treats others with respect, and believes that everyone is worth something. This attitude is what attracts people, despite her tendency to be loud and demanding.


Magic/Abilities:
She is excellent at using projectile weapons, especially bows. Her arrows are made out of whatever she can scrounge, and are used for hunting medium sized game only. Otherwise, the weapon she uses while fighting is her naginata. She is also good with hand to hand combat similar to brawling, and she has a mean left hook.

Tracking beasts, trapping or hunting them, and looking for many differing signs of food are second nature to her. She has good instincts and over the years has learned probable spots for finding plants, fungi, and fresh prey.

She also has oddly good luck, especially when she wears her favorite feather accessory. For example, Jael has come across food sooner than expected, seen a well-timed cave-in that separated her from hungry predators, and chosen good paths to find what she needs multiple times. She doesn’t question these occurrences and considers it equal parts luck and instinct.


Relationships:
She has had many consorts, as is expected of the women, and has five twerps running around town that belong to her. The oldest one is around 22 years old, and the youngest is around 6.
Her second youngest, Rael, will still be dependent for a few years. In that time, Jael hopes to help her find a place in the community. She believes her daughter would make a good gatherer, as she absorbs plant knowledge well. She loves Rael's enthusiastic spirit, but worries for her safety.
She has decided not to bear anymore children, due to her age, and focuses on her job instead.

Both of her biological parents are dead.


History:
She grew up quickly, learning to be a useful gatherer at a young age. She didn’t get formal training; she learned on the job, like many in Teinar. Eventually, she moved into hunting as well, though only ever underground.

She bore her first child at age 16, and continued to conceive a child around every four years. She didn’t particularly enjoy it, since she became more moody than usual, and was unable to hunt several months into the pregnancies. This is likely the reason she doesn’t have more than five.

She has not seen much above ground, and has only ever ventured out a few times with small parties of people meant for eradicating threats. She doesn’t have any real interest though, seeing as the wastelands are devoid of much except poison and death.


Other:
She needs others who do missions with her for hunting and gathering, some old friends, previous mates, and children! I'd love, love, love for someone to play a child of hers!
She has killer instincts, so she knows a threat when she sees it. Likely to dodge and counterattack in one move. Initiates contact freely, but prefers others to keep their appendages to themselves. Will harm people who surprise her.
