Character Concept
Ar'ala is a very playful, childlike, yet adventurous Konti young adult. Her upbringing sheltering her from most of the evils of the world (Though her "Konti Gift" has shown her several), which has lead to Ar'ala up until this point to have a very positive, optimistic, and innocent view of the world (As well as those who live on it). Ar'ala's mother and grandmother (Whom she lives with) both take pride in the fact they have raised their daughter and granddaughter with such a bright personality and outlook. Her mother often saying to Ar'ala "You radiate with the very light of Syna!".Though both have no doubt worried on more than one occasion about her unassuming nature.
This sunny disposition means that Ar'ala enjoys very much the company of friends, loved ones, and family. She enjoys making new friends, and does so frequently. However as with all Konti she is rather shy and reserved around those who she is not familiar with (Especially Non-Konti's). Though she is quite curious about the other races. From their histories, biology, and especially their various forms of music. Many of which the young Konti has already studied.
A true lover of relaxation, she enjoys leisurely walking alone in nature, visiting the many seemingly enchanted places in or just outside of her home of Mura. For a girl like Ar'ala, one with a vivid, active imagination, and a penchant for adventure, their truly is no equal to growing up in Mura. A place where her natural creativity and love for the arts is nurtured by a society which both loves and appreciates the arts, and her adventurous soul finnd excitement places as far ranging as "The Vision Springs", to the "The Crystal Cavern", to the depths of "The Kelp Forest". A true lover of nature, Ar'ala's art, both in the physical and spoken form taking their influence from the beauty and wonder that surrounds her every day in Mura.
When it comes to self defense, Ar'ala is no slouch. Her long, lean frame being perfect for being able to effectively shoot a long bow. Ar'ala's mother even providing her old long bow for the young Konti to practice with. To which Ar'ala has shown she can adequately defend herself from range. As well as proving useful for when Ar'ala's mother needs the girl to hunt wild game (Which is on rare occasion, as Konti don't often hunt.). Which she obligingly does, much to the delight of her mother. Who enjoys not having to search for animals in the woods. The young Konti as realizing she's quite good with a Suvai in the training pavillion. Her athletic body proving quite robust for hand to hand combat. Capable of defending herself if necessary, as well as powerful powerful attacking moves. Her innocent looks aside, Ar'ala is no weakling.
Her best talent however does not lie in hunting in the woods.... Ar'ala is in fact best known singing as she strolls around Mura, running errands for her family, heading to meet friends, or on another adventure. Singing is Ar'ala's favorite art form, and true passion. Having performed several times at Mura's "The Starry Night", Ar'ala's love and talent for singing is becoming apparent now to all those who dwell in Mura. Who often hear her voice coming from her families cottage, or encounter her rehearsing her newest song in the solitude of the Silverwood.
Ar'ala's keen intellect and thirst for knowledge of the world,(especially her curiosity for what lies beyond the Mura) has lead the young Konti to wish above all else to be able to travel around Mizahar. Believing her "Calling" may be soon at hand, her mother and grandmother are fearful, yet understanding, that soon their girl may soon leave the White Isle for what adventures lay beyond. Ar'ala's adventurous soul seemingly assuring this fact at birth.
Character History Ar'ala was conceived in the city of Syliras, to her Konti mother and her Syliran Knight father. It was a brief romance between Sh'iea (Ar'ala's mother), and her Syliran lover. As Sh'iea only found herself in Syliras to take a mate. None the less it was a loving romance, and Ar'ala was conceived out of love. However shortly after conception, Ar'ala's mother longed to be with her family during her pregnancy. So with a heavy heart Sh'iea returned to the home of the Konti..... Mura.
Ar'ala was born where her mother was, at her grandmothers modest cottage along the mystical banks of Silver Lake. It was here where Ar'ala grew up under the watchful eyes of her mother and grandmother. Both showered, and continue to shower the beautiful young Konti girl with love and tenderness. All the while sheltering her in Mura, keeping her away from the many evils that lay across Mizahar. Ar'ala truly grew up in a nurturing home for her childhood, one which cultivated her many gifts and talents.
Ar'ala's early life wasn't perfect however, as she sometimes had trouble making friends in her younger years. It wasn't for the fact she didn't try however.... The other Konti girls often would tease Ar'ala for being tanner then them, and for being "Strange", as she was often more outgoing then the other girls. Which among the naturally shy Konti was seen as strange, and very against the grain of natural Konti behavior.
This teasing, though playful weighed heavily on Ar'ala. The young Konti now realizing the world wasn't always as pleasant as her grandmothers cottage. Ar'ala is still quite outgoing for a Konti, though she has become a lot more reserved when she first meets people. Ar'ala waiting to get comfortable with people before revealing herself.Over the years however, Ar'ala's bright personality has shown through more and more. And now many of the girls who use to make fun of her for her skin, or her personality are friendly with her. Which has made the girl slightly wary, though happy this part of the past is behind her.
It was mist certainly her trouble with fitting in that has lead to Ar'ala's discovery of her two biggest passions, singing, and nature. The girl spending countless afternoons walking through the Silverwood humming and singing about the animals, sights, sounds, and spirits she'd encounter in the great forest that surrounds Mura. It was in nature that Ar'ala found true beauty and acceptance. Her natural gift for music and singing simply being a physical manifest of this. Ar'ala would work many hours in the forest on technique, lyrics, and vocals... Each note giving homage to the beauty of nature, as well as the power of the gods.
Through hours and hours of study, her mothers keen ear, and natural skill, Ar'ala turned these two passion's into a gig at the "Starry Night" when she was 17, during which she wowed the audience with her near angelic voice. With her vocal talents being so positively received, Ar'ala feels as if she's found a second home onstage. This giving the young Konti belief her dream of a career as a musician is within her grasp.
One of her major setbacks however might be the very "Konti Gift" the gods have "Blessed" her with. This "Gift" being the ability to see a person's greatest desires, goals, and dreams. Which is rather pleasant when surrounded by peaceable and morale Konti, however it can be rather disturbing when around the less than reputable outsiders who often travel to Mura for business or pleasure. And it's these outsiders whose evil, depraved, and twisted desires weigh most heavily on Ar'ala. The young Konti often becoming confused by them, as these people seem very much different than what she's accustom to living in Mura her whole life. Ar'ala even having what some might consider a near mental breakdown on a few occasions as she happened to brush past a stranger with an impure desire, typically about Ar'ala herself.
These episodes leaving Ar'ala highly embarrassed, as they came in public each time. Each episode leaving the young Konti with even more questions about those who dwell outside of the "White Isle". Ar'ala wishing to gain an understanding of these very strange, almost alien races. Some of which couldn't be anymore different than her own, at even their most basic sense.
Ar'ala's sometimes terrifying "Konti Gift" has also left the girl shaken in it's occasionally dark wake. Ar'ala's powerful, though sensitive Konti mind proving especially vulnerable to evil thoughts and impure desires of others.Which has led both her mother and grandmother to fear the effects such powerful, and potentially dark visions can have on the delicate girl. This perhaps being another reason for their mostly sheltered upbringing of Ar'ala.The young Konti never having left the "White Isle", despite her growing curiosity and interest in the other races. However as with most Konti, Ar'ala will one day have to answer "The Call". Her mother and grandmother believing "The Call" to be coming for Ar'ala sooner rather than later. Though their no doubt is much fear in them that their child's "Konti Gift" will prove to be a curse if she ever leaves the protected shores of the "White Isle" for less civilized lands......

Konti Gift: The "Konti Gift" which Ar'ala has been gifted (Or cursed) with is, the ability to see a person's greatest desires, goals, and dreams. With only a touch of another beings skin, Ar'ala see's the very thing the person covets most of all, as if it appeared in front of her. Though if she's within close proximity she can sense an individuals desires as if it were a whispering voice in her ear.
Ar'ala can't control this "Gift", and on more then one occasion it's overwhelmed her sensitive Konti mind.

However Ar'ala does hope to master this "Gift" one day, and she views it as a mixed blessing. One which can easily show her a persons true intentions and character, but also can show her the darker side of an individuals mind...
