Chia has long, raven-black hair. Her eyes are generally light brown, sparkling when happy or inspired. She has tan, sun-kissed skin with a multitude of freckles across her face. Her rosy lips are full, and her nose is straight. She has high cheekbones and large eyes. Her eyebrows are sharp and well-defined. She has a willowy and small form, being only 5'4 and weighing 114 pounds. She is often dressed in the colorful dresses of a traditional Tamasheq storyteller, though raggedy and dirty. Her feet are usually cushioned by well-worn sandals.    [/b]  
 
[b]Personality: Chia is a very kind and hospitable woman. She will go out of her way to help anyone in need, no matter their status. She loves hearing and telling stories through song. If you ask her to do it she will gladly accept. She can weave a story just with her melodic voice. Although calm and docile, Chia is very much like a mama bear when it comes to her child, Shadzi. Her infant daughter is her sole companion- through sand and snow, through woods and fields, Shadzi is always with her, riding on her back, in a sling, or held on her hip. So she will protect that girl by any means.     [/b] 
 
[b]History: Chia was born as a Tamasheq, a part of a small, nomadic tribe that wandered the desert. She trained to be a storyteller from a young age, sure of a future that involved her telling the stories of her elders to her tribemates. 

But one day, her whole dream changed. She had always had a beautiful voice and a passion for singing, so one day she discovered her power of Song Weaving. The elders of the tribe were not pleased, so they exiled her on the charges of being a 'witch'. That day when she was 18, she was left in the desert with nothing but the clothes on her back. Miraculously, she managed to survive, finding an oasis settlement and making a life for herself. There, she saved up enough money to buy the needed supplies and begin a career as a traveling storyteller.
 
6 years later, she got pregnant. She lived in the desert for months with child. But again she survived and gave birth to a healthy baby girl named Shadzi. 

Now, Chia travels with her child Shadzi all over Ebonfort and beyond. She hardly ever settles in one place for long, fearing that she will get too attached to one place.  [/b]
