Many a thing can be said of Naviela. She is a tall woman in the prime of her life with a lean, athletic physique, courtesy of a lifetime of training with the warriors of the Gerudo Tribe. Her skin is tanned and browned, with the many scars of her trade only faintly showing themselves. There are many traits she shares with the other female members of the Gerudo: her hair is crimson red, her eyes shine bright amber and her nose is sharp, as the beak of an eagle. There are laughing lines etched into her features, yet, these days the laughs are replaced by a semi-permanent frown between her thin eyebrows. It doesn't quite reach her eyes, but as life keeps throwing challenges at her, this will keep wearing at her and it might change in the future.

Navi is a maelstrom of paradoxes and clashing qualities. This might not be as surprising considering her upbringing with the Gerudo Tribe. First and foremost she is a creature of loyalty. It is not easy to attain it, but once you have it, you usually have it for life and beyond. This lack of trust replaces the mild xenophobia some of her sisters display -- Navi does not hate the outsiders, she simply does not trust them, not even as far as she can throw them... which is pretty far. But, loyalty aside, the Gerudo clearly does not share the same values some other denizens of Hyrule have come to take for granted. Ownership, for instance. If an individual is stupid enough to leave their wares unattended or worse, be inept enough to lose them [i]while[/i] attending them, they were not worthy of them to begin with. In simpler terms, Navi will steal without regret or even much thought, as long as it's relatively safe for her to do so. She has a strange sense of humor. Those who travel with her often might sometimes see her staring off in the distance with a weird smile, as if the woman was recalling a distant joke. If the scrutiny is noticed, she'd just state that the sun reminded her of home. [i]Home[/i]. That defines Naviela through it all. Whilst some marched to stop the voices, others out of curiosity or even a hunger for profit, Navi is here for one reason and one reason only: to stop the King of Darkness, before he can set his sisters upon the wrong path yet again. This drives her forward over and over. While others would give up or halt, she will continue on until she succeeds in her quest or until she dies. .::[color=FFA800]π”Ήπ•’π•”π•œπ•€π•₯𝕠𝕣π•ͺ[/color]:: Naviela's earliest memories was that of the common sweat tents, where she and her siblings played, while the elder warriors of the tribe cleaned and relaxed after a long day of work and training. It was a simple life, it was bliss and it defined most of her later days, that connection to the rest of her sisters. For, regardless of her real parentage, she always considered all the other Gerudo her family, her sisters and aunts, her mothers and grandmothers... daughters. This only continued as she grew up and started her own training. It was decided early that Navi would become a warrior, her body was lean, her mind quick and her reflexes honed by the long days playing games. She was allowed to pick her first weapon. It took her close to ten minutes: feeling the weight of one weapon and the other in her hands, before the simple wooden staff rested in her palm. It felt good. It felt [i]right[/i]. The others laughed -- they had figured the young and spirited girl would have gone for a glaive or a scimitar, but it was all the same to them. Yet, the staff danced in young Navi's hands and eventually the laughter stopped. They saw talent when it danced in front of them, challenging for that one stray smile. Soon enough Navi was ready for something more and she crafted a weapon of her own. Another staff, but this one with sharpened metal attached to the end; a spear which follows her even now. It has served her quite well and whilst she practiced with the daggers and the bows and the scimitars since then, the spear would always be her favorite. It was years later, Navi had passed all the tests, the Goddess of the Sand had truly blessed her, that the voices started to come. They whispered promises, horrible ones, of things that would come to pass and that she had a duty. To herself, to her family and tribe, to the very land they lived on. She had to go. Her home was already starting to turn on itself, yet, there was little she could do about it herself. Some wished to change their ways, to move away from the Valley and start another way of life, others merely wished to continue on the same path, then there were the ones who were simply silent. She had to go. Navi stole away in the shade of the night. A spear was taken with her, her best sandals and robes, a cloak to hide away part of her face and some other minor trinkets. A simple scroll was left behind, explaining why she left and to not try and look for her -- the girl had found her duty. .::[color=FFA800]π•Šπ•œπ•šπ•π•π•€/π•‹π•’π•π•–π•Ÿπ•₯𝕀[/color]::.
