Simbiti
Full name:
Age: 17
Sex: F
Ethnicity: Nomad
Family: She lives with her mother, father and one older brother (22)
Background: She grew up in a small herding community until she was 8 years old when her mother had a riding acident. Her mother became paraplegic and couldn't continue caring for the herd. She trained to become a shoe maker instead.
To better sustain her business and have better accommodations the family moved to the big nomad city. This disruption in lifestyle greatly upset Simbiti, who felt she was cheated out of leaning to ride and herd as well as the rest of her family. It is something she is sensitive about to this day.
A few years later, when she was 11, the decision was made to move to Ulvastar, to have better opportunities and the most knowledgable healers to attend to her mother. For the first time in years Simbiti unexpectedly didn't feel as if she was sticking out like a sore thumb, meeting other nomad kids whose parents had given up on herding.
In school she met Istam, who also was more behind on the curriculum like her, and being tutored together they met Gant.
Character: She often makes impulsive decisions which get her in trouble, though she usually means well.
Appearance: Her statue is small and slim, and she's usually estimated to be a good couple of years younger than her peers, which doesn't help with her desire to be taken seriously. She is the lightest skinned of the trio, though if she would spend more time in sun, wind and weather she could considerably tan.
Goals and motivation: She wishes to learn how to ride and herd like her ancestors did.
