~Physical description~

 

She is built tall, much taller than any of the other females around; this is most likely due to her Irish blood. Her hair is straight, and black, but when the sun shines on it, it has a red glow. She has an athletic body, since most of what she does requires physical strength, like hunting and fighting. She has a strong muscled body from physical training, but she has never lost the baby fat on her cheeks, which gives her a friendly round face. She has blue-grey eyes that darken when she is excited, or angry. Her skin has the colour of dark honey, almost with a golden glow. She has freckles around her nose, which is the Irish influence in her, and she doesn’t like it one bit.

~Personality~

 

She is hotheaded, always in for a joke, unbelievably stubborn, but has an amazing feeling for justice. This makes for an irresistible combination. If she sees injustice being done, she will fight to make it right. She doesn’t trust men. She’s a loner not because she chooses to, but because other Indians tend to avoid speaking to her.

~Relationships~

 

She communicates with animals, she understands their feelings, and can therefore handle almost any animal. She is less good with humans, because she feels like she’s in the middle; neither white nor red. She is feared by the other Apaches for her ability to see through the owl’s eyes. Apaches fear the owl more than any other animal, because they believe that they are the spirits of dead Apache.
