[b]Secrets and Regrets:[/b] The reason she wanted to become a healer, too many of her people would wander into the jungle in search of fabled magic herbs that could heal any ailment. She regrets her brother becoming lost in the jungle in search of this to heal her after a wild creature had gotten into the camp and nearly chewed her leg off. 
[b]Personality:[/b] She is sweet and kind, most of the time. When she's angry she often becomes violent and is truly terrifying when she is also scared.

[b]Defining Moments:[/b] She learned how to swim at a young age, and has been basically a prodigy child ever since, succeeding in everything she put her mind to and becoming the youngest Shamman in her Tribe's history at the age of 16.
[b]A Typical Day:[/b] Nisa always wakes just after dawn, and proceeds to make her rounds. She checks the wounded and sick, and then goes to help prepare the midday meal with the rest of her hunting group. Because of her group's aptitude for swimming, they normally hunt fish in the shallows of the sea near their camp. After the meal is caught and cooked, the Tribe eats together in the center of camp, Nisa feeds the sick who cannot eat for themselves afterwards. Once she is done with her healing duties, she goes down to the seashore to meditate until sunset. Sometimes the people of her tribe will come to her while she is meditating and ask about problems they are having, or worries of the future. At sunset, families gather for the last meal of the day. As Nisa's family is all dead or missing, she eats with the sick and wounded who could not join their families that day. After the last meal of the day, Nisa does her rounds again and then walks around the camp once before going to sleep, bidding her people goodnight.

[hider= Village detail]
[b]Tribe/Village Detail:[/b] 
The Island is located in the Caribbean sea and the Bermuda Triangle, within sight of many other Islands but that the Rosario clan of the Chus-Cande have never been able to get to due to the many freak tropical storms that occur near their Island. The Island itself is mainly dense jungles  and the large plains region where the tribe actually lives. The villagers don't actually know how large the Island is, as they've never been able to go all the way around it around the coast. On either side of the village there are large cliffs going all the way to the shoreline, blocking the villagers from walking along the coast away from the bay formed by the cliffs that is in between the village and open ocean. 

The cliffs slope down as they go inland, but the jungle takes them over before they are low enough to be easily climbed, and the face of the cliff is so steep that it is nearly impossible to climb anywhere else. The villagers are able to go around these cliffs on boats to other beaches where some villagers have before attempted to go and start another village, but have always been thwarted by the jungle and harsh seas there. 

The village itself is set up in a circular fashion, with the paths and such forming the markings for a written incantation that, when activated by everyone in the village, will start a protection spell that causes the ocean to rise over the village in a dome that has been used many times to protect the village from the hurricanes that hit the island occasionally. 

There is a large wall around the  side of the village that borders with the jungle, with the only way through being the 'gate of the lost' named in Chus-Cande. Around the other other edges of the village there are farming plots, and on the opposite side from the jungle was a wide beach where the villagers keep their boats and smaller ships when they aren't in the bay or on a voyage. 

The bay between the beach and the ocean holds the larger boats and ships, and is normally calm enough for the villagers to swim and fish in its waters. the waters around the island are very clean, but there is no freshwater source anywhere that they know of. That's not a very big problem though because anyone can purify small amounts of water to make it drinkable with fairly little effort, however the Shamman is the one mainly responsible for the water needed to water the village's crops and take care of the livestock.

The village itself is made up of clay buildings and tents For buildings that were damaged or destroyed and in need of repair and rebuilding, with all the Orphans and sickly living in one large building in the center of the village. A building next to the central hall serves as a type of library, storing any and all information on Tratagua'na.

[hider= Magic stuff]
[b]Magic:[/b] They view magic as mainly good, as it has practical use. A Shaman is a religious leader that also serves as a teacher and has a lot more stamina and strength in the use of magic than most people of their tribe. 

[b]Focus:[/b] Control over the element of water. Different things can be done with this including healing and fighting applications.

[b]Balance:[/b] The longer one meditates, the better and easier they are able to control it. When they are actually controlling it though, the user will get fatigued and maybe even ill. Essentially, the control starts within the user, and that determines the speed at which they get weaker while using it based on their own control of themselves, that's why meditation helps make the control easier. There must be water present for it to be controlled.

[b]Process:[/b] Chanting and incantations, along with the use of a symbolic written language that can act as an incantation in situations where speech is unnecessary or ill-advised. The water responds to the incantation and takes it's toll, following the will of the user. Needless to say that this also takes a lot of concentration on what the user wants the elements to do. When a Shaman leads an incantation, all those who speak with them are lending their focus and bodies to the outcome of the spell, however they always have a choice whether to speak or not. 

[b][u]What Nisa can actually do:[/u][/b] She can control large amounts of Water, in order to create large waves, or to filter it so it is drinkable. Also she can control the water in a person's body (their blood basically) to help speed the healing process. She is incapable of focusing on a very large amount of water for a long time, even with the help of others.

[hider= Chus-Cande]
Chus-Cande is a strange language that seems to be a mixture of the syllables and sounds used in the incantations that her tribe uses to invoke the power of tratagua'na, and the two other spoken languages; Spanish and English. The Chus-Cande people are a 'kindgom' of sorts, made up of many different tribes. Nisa's people are the Chus-Cande, but she is Shaman of the Rosario tribe of Chus-Cande, or the Rosario Chus-Cande. 

[hider= Common Chus-Cande words and what they mean.]
[list][*] [b]Tratagua'na[/b] = literally means 'water treaty'. This is the name for the Chus-Cande's magic abilities to control water.
[*] [b]Shaman[/b] = This actually has a similar, but different enough meaning to put on this list. When used in reference to anyone who is a part of the tribe, it means the English definition, a leader and teacher. When used to describe an outsider, it roughly means 'sheep'. This is an insult, as sheep are considered dumb and impressionable.
