Height:
Hair: A deep azure blue with icy white streaks. Most often worn up in a bun and out of the way
Eyes: Pale citrine yellow
Body Type: Athletic and toned, with years of training and physical chores keeping her fit and strong, but athletic and quick enough to hunt dangerous creatures alongside her fellow Vipers
Distinguishing Marks: She has visible markings on her face, thighs, chest, upper back and shoulders. There is also one on her tail
Common Accessories: A few different knives/tools (One for descaling fish, another for protection, a few other utility tools for hunting and gathering.) Waterskin, main weapons, and trail mix
Tattoos: None, as it is difficult with her fur for a tattoo to show properly, but she has occasionally dyed a pattern into her fur that would fade after a little bit. It was not uncommon for special events and while she rarely does anymore as an adult, once in a while it crosses her mind
Piercings: Only one set in her ears. She doesn't really have any interest in others as they could be a hindrance while she's hunting
Personality: Jovial and optimistic by nature, she can come across as quite warm and welcoming to others, willing to always give the benefit of the doubt, once. However, she is fiercely loyal and not unrealistic in her views of life and people. If she is treated with respect and kindness, she will in turn give the same, but when needed the Huntress can be equally as serious and stoic, especially when she is protecting those close to her.

History

Mother's Lessons

Born the eldest of two children, Tlalli had a very normal childhood up until she was around nine years of age. Her family, belonging to the Iq'Braax tribe, Father a hunter and leatherworker, and her mother a proud Viper who worked hard to protect her home and people. Tlalli knew from a young age that was to be her goal in life as well. While her youthful mind held an idyllic view of her mother's work, it was shattered when the reality and danger of what they faced showed up where it should not have, at the edges of their home. She and her brother had been spared from the beast's powerful attacks, but at the cost of their mother's life to protect them. It was an unpleasant lesson in reality, bringing to light the risks involved, and reaffirming the course she'd chosen for her life; to not only become an amazing Viper but to find the beast, her Tural Vidraal, and slay it in her mother's honor.

Travels & Tribulations

Unfortunately no matter how determined one is to reach their dream, it does not happen over night. Firstly she had to handle her grief and help her family, and that took longer than Tlalli had expected... Her days were filled with training, chores and taking care of her younger brother while their father was working. Life was quite consistent into her teenage and young adult years, but the dream ever lingered in her mind, with the occasional moment of rekindling when a creature of a similar description is mentioned in passing. Deep down she knows she's not ready, but the fire in her soul continues to grow. Nurturing that passion, she excelled in her training and became proficient with a few necessary weapons, and had joined some of the Vipers in their training. By the time she was sixteen they all knew her well and welcomed the eager to learn Hrothgar among their ranks. This year she could join them officially, and on her birthday Tlalli was presented with the job stone her mother had once carried. The dream was finally coming into focus again. Years passed, early twenties rushing by in a blur of the ever daily sharpening of her skills and joining her fellow Vipers in hunts and missions. Tracking the Tural Vidraal remained her greatest goal, and it took her across the continent and back, chasing down stories and sightings in the hopes her foe had not moved on. Despite the leads and evidence that came her way, her nightmare remained ever elusive and out of reach.

Promising Horizons

It seemed like an unexpected fateful encounter with a group from across the salt, their initial meeting purely upon random luck that she had been guarding that day they approached her home. Tlalli had never seen Xaela before, and she found them fascinating. It was not difficult to befriend the jovial Viper, and after getting to know them, she shared her grand goal, and they were receptive to help. It had never occurred to the huntress that perhaps her elusive prey could not be found because it was no longer in Tural. Not even a reported hunt or scavenged corpse of the beast had come forth to confirm it's demise over the years. In her heart she just knew it was still out there. After settling everything at home, Tlalli boarded a ship to cross the great blue horizon to new continents and adventures. She would encounter new peoples and strange monsters along the way, searching for the Tural Vidraal with her trusted allies and loyal friends. A new lead has opened up, and the hunt continues on...

RP Hooks

Random Encounter

Tlalli is always on the move. If she's not working alongside the Vipers, the huntress is off on her own searching for her Tural Vidraal. Her greatest hunt. Because of this, she has been all across Tural, and has since expanded her search to Eorzea and Othard. That means Tlalli could easily cross paths with nearly anyone in her travels.

Hunt Guild | Hunt Board

It is not only her career, but her life's passion. Protecting her home and the challenge of a powerful hunt keeps the huntress busy and active. Being very social, she often befriends other hunters and works along-side them. It would be very easy to meet her at a hunt board or out in the wilds, and the Hrothgar is always eager to assist others if they are in danger or overwhelmed out in the world. She is a full fledged Viper and registered in Tuliyollal with the guild. Most recently Tlalli has also joined the hunt guild in Ishgard and will seek out others in varying area, including Othard.

Monster Slayer

Always on the look out for other hunters and slayers, she often exchanges information on various beasts, hoping that one of them would have witnessed or heard of her greatest prey. As other slayers are her best source of that information, Tlalli will make a strong effort to approach and meet any new faces in her travels, telling them of the great flying beast she sought as her life's goal to hunt. The more eyes looking out for it, the better the chance her Tural Vidraal will be tracked down.
