| Description: |
Unlike Heysa E-ano, another woman in the service of the priest-prince Siral E-oro, Natay A-shoa looks how a female Dajina should look. She's all hard angles and muscle-bulk, properly befitting the two warrior-caste horns that grow from her head and curl under her down-turned ears. Other races would call her extremely masculine: to Dajina, she's almost as feminine as they come. She's taller than most of her kin, with pale blue skin and plenty of muscle to keep up her duty as a fighter. Her face is fairly squared with a heavy brow; small, flat nose; and almost always wearing an expression that's a frown of some degree. Her hair is cropped extremely short to keep it out of the way, and is dark tuscan red in colour. The short feathering on her digitigrade feet and the tassel at the end of her long tail are the same colour. Her two massive horns are a pale white-grey, and her eyes are a brilliant orange-red.
Her clothes are entirely practical and in dark colours, and she only wears jewellery when required to do so for ceremonies. Her pants have skin-tight cuffs stretching from ankle to mid-calf, and above that the cloth is only loose enough for free movement without bagging her down in folds. A small dagger hangs at her left hip from a black belt, and leather bands criss-cross her chest and shoulders to keep her belt in place. She wears dark, elbow-length, fingerless gloves to protect her forearms and aid her grip when wielding her sword, which has a broad, slightly curved blade. Natay usually has the sword in her hands, ready for use at any moment, but it can be fixed to a clasp on one of the bands across her torso and carried at her back that way.
