[cell][h3][color=66CDAA][b][i]History[/i][/b][/color][/h3] [sub]Born in Badlessi to Kaarmuken, her mother (an innkeeper and a businesswoman), and Jardaskul, her father (a guard, hunter, and fisherman), in a middle-sized settlement built next to a lake, with several hills no more than half a day's walk away. Jasilkal was named for the uniform pale green skin-tone she was born with and the hints of jade supposedly seen in her eyes. She was an only child (until her 5th year, when she got an adopted younger brother), but with the Occ practice of community rearing, she was never deprived of company. However, she was the type of child who preferred solitude, or at the very least, enjoyed solitary pursuits. When the others collected plants because they found them pretty or wanted to gift them to someone, Jasilkal gathered them for herself, to study their medical uses. While many children were resistant to learning, and were simply in awe of the shamans, physician, and doctors, but kept at a distance from them, Jasilkal was voracious for knowledge, and did all she could to get close to those possessing medicinal expertise.

If the other children had their fun running freely in the grasslands or cooling down in the lake, she would spend it pestering adults with questions or curling up in a shaded corner to read whatever text happened to intrigue her. A rare thing she had in common with the other children was her love of stories, though her obsession with that drove her to memorize several of the tales, from the most popular to the most obscure, mystifying, and even some eerie ones. She wrote a story or two of her own, though her childish attempts at this weren't appreciated often. The first true friend she had found, a female by the name of Uruzik (four years older than Jasilkal), had been due to a shared love of story-telling. She wasn't as fond of exploring as some others, but did it for the sake of finding strange, intriguing ingredients. She took up all kinds of odd-work, as long as the work provided opportunity for her to learn anything healing-related. 

The one who was able to bring her out of her shell and more involved in the community life was her adopted younger brother (5 years her junior), Karjuuvos. Though he was the younger of the two, he took it upon himself to look after her, because while she wasn't willingly reckless, her curious nature could lead her to be unduly incautious when exploring, her intense focus on a certain goal at times making her completely unaware of other goings-on. Besides, having a younger brother made it easier for her to convince her father to take both her as well as her brother on a hunting expeditions; she went to collect the forest-endemic plants, and Karjuuvos so he could learn how to hunt. It was more-or-less a mutually beneficial deal, though obviously skewed in Jasilkal's favour, not that her brother minded much. This was only one of the many ways Jasilkal pursued what she was certain was her purpose, or at least part of it.

Though young, Jasilkal was eager to learn the basics of first aid, and was allowed by her village leaders to assist in the most basic of tasks (e.g. changing bandages, applying paste, keeping track of patients' medicine dosages etc.). She was ambitious, and secretly somewhat exasperated that they wouldn't let her learn more sooner, feeling particularly patronized whenever the adults fussed how she was too young to see the cruelties of the world or some such rot. As far as she was concerned, they needn't had worried. Yet, to get what she desired, she mostly kept her head down, and proved through actions that she was capable of more. (Thankfully, some of the adults saw her passion as a sign of maturity, and encouraged her - her parents included.) Whenever she was frustrated by a lack of progress, bored by the menial work, or simply struck by a fancy, she took the time off to listen to another story, retell one to the younger children, or pour her woes into her diary.

Even her fascination with stories, however, was nothing compared to her obsession with medicine, herbalism, and witchery. These were the things she desired to learn above all others, and she worked hard to get them. She managed to finagle an apprenticeship to a crotchety old alchemist living two or so miles out of the village (at the base of the nearest hill), close enough to trade easily, but far enough not to be disturbed too often. She worked on ingredient collection, preparation, and as a fetch-girl for Master Makumu, and picked up alchemy mainly from observation, though immersing herself in the books he possessed and assisting him with the occasional experiment certainly helped. 

Jasilkal was deemed ready by Makumu to start her own practice at 18, four years after starting her apprenticeship. She had her very own sod hut built, right next to her ex-Master's, because though she would now be officially independent, she was still an associate of his. He was one of the most anti-social Occ Elders, so she would still do some small tasks for him in exchange for rare ingredients or a helping hand for a large-scale experiment. Besides, he still hadn't taught her Atermagia, claiming she hadn't been born with the talent, and so should simply focus solely on alchemy instead - a sentiment Jasilkal still doesn't agree with, and intends to change Makumu's mind on. In the two years since achieving the equivalent of a Journeyman's status, she's been building her reputation in her village and the surrounding Occ settlements, but she's always seeking further opportunities.[/sub][/cell]
