Backstory

Her first solo kill occurred earlier than tradition allowed, resulting in permanent scarring and recognition by the tribe. As her strength grew, expectations shifted from proving capability to securing lineage continuity. She now operates as the tribe’s primary huntress while facing increasing pressure to accept a politically or ritually approved mate.

Goal(s)

• Maintain autonomy over her body and choices.
• Continue providing for and protecting her tribe.
• Avoid forced marriage without abandoning her people.
