Personality: Kachina is a quiet person. She generally keeps to herself, but is not afraid to lash out at anyone that may come too near her home. She is a vicious fighter, even if she has not had any formal training. She keeps a handmade knife in her boot at all times, knowing better than to go about unarmed.
She has a slight skewed sense of reality, seeing things as darker than they are, and never in a positive light. The world has not been kind to her and she in turn is not kind to the world.
Biography: Once a well respected member of the tribe, Kachina was banished to the swamplands when her husband was found murdered in their teepee.
Born the daughter of a fisherman, she was wedded at a young age to one of the braves. Though the marriage, at first, was a shaky one, she and her warrior brave fell madly in love. It was this fact that made what was to happen to them all the more tragic, and in the end, causing Kachina to go mad with grief.
In the middle of a particularly stormy night, when Kachina and her husband were asleep, a stranger came into the village. The young brave awoke to the sound of the horses panicking, he going out to check on them. It was then the stranger came at him, a fight ensuing.
Kachina woke to the sound of the fighting, not finding her husband beside her, she wrapped herself in furs and stepped out into the night. Finding her husband's body laying lifeless on the ground she fell to her knees with grief, clawing at her eyes with her hands to tear the memory, the sight from her eyes.
She was found bleeding, screaming, in the night and taken away, sedated, and accused of her husband's murder. In her state, she was unable to fight against their banishment and found herself in the swamps, alone, with nothing but her memories and her horse at her side.
She has fought long, and hard to rebuild her life, and now makes a living making poisons and other such concoctions for anyone willing to pay her.
