Fala Nimroy

Fala is a woman of Chickasaw and Irish descent. While her long raven hair, mocha colored skin, and high cheekbones indicate her Chickasaw heritage it is easy to see her Irish father’s influence in one distinct feature. Her eyes are a deep greenish blue, the same color as the turquoise sea.  Her build is equally a contradiction to what people generally expect to see. Her body has the lean but defined, powerful muscles of a mix martial arts fighter but her large curves are more that of a seductress. The power in her build, however, does match her height of 5' 11. She also has a group of three thin scars diagonally across her belly. They appear very deep, very old, and to be the mark of some great beasts claws. She tends to cover the scars with clothing, however, so unlikely to be seen.

She tends to dress in neutral colors, primarily black and brown, due to their resistance to staining. She tends to dress in a typical old west style, albeit it one generally associated with the opposing gender, and one will never find her without her black cowboy hat or long deerskin coat which often has a bit of dirt and dust. She looks very much like she walked out of a Wild West movie, with her mystical rifle Maria on her back and her trusty pistols on her hips. Everything seems practical, simple, and straight forward. The only decorations are various silver and turquoise pieces of jewelry, likely her mother’s when she was alive since Fala shows a sentimental attachment to them.  The silver was enchanted by her mother before her death to not harm Fala.

Weapons

Maria - A strange rifle that requires no ammo. Its bullet also has the ability to change to whatever is most effective against the enemy. Lead for faerie, Silver for therians, etc.  It has a very long range but is slow to reload. It appears to be semi sentient as it will only fire for those it chooses too.

Trusty Six Shooters: - A simple pair of matching revolvers. They have no enchantment and aren't particuliarly pretty to look at but despite their small size are fairly decent caliber, though not equal to Maria's. Their main asset is their speed as well as the fact she can dual weild them due to her spiritual abilities.

Leather Bullwhip - Your average bull whip, made of black braided leather. Good for leaving large welts and disarming foes.... or occationally hog tying them if the need appears.

Throwing Knives -  Thin, sharp blades with leather wraps around one end to serve as handles and a small diamond shape bit of metal at the tip to weight them perfectly. She has many of them hidden on her person.

Powers/Abilities

Her abilities are influenced by both her mother's spiritual power and her father's werewolf curse. From the therian half she did not receive any shapeshifting ability, however, due to being only half. Instead she various spiritual 'shifting' abilities (such as 'claws' of spiritual energy) related to the wolf as well as her own spirit animals, astral projection of her animal form, a fast healing ability that also prevents her from ageing, and various physical augmentations. She has improved sight, hearing, reflexes, strength, and speed. Her least improved is her strength while the most improved is her sight, reflexes, and speed in that order.

She also inherited a weakness to silver however, and will not heal any faster then a human from any would inflicted with it. It has no effect simply placed against her skin, however. It must break the skin to get past her spiritual defenses. Wolf'sbane will also act as a poison towards her and cause a rash/irritation if placed against her skin much like poison ivy on a regular human.

From her mother she inherited an ability to see the future in water, the ability to sense spirits, and read auras. It is also her mother's abilities that transformed the curse to the weaker version it is and reduces the moon's sway on her mom, though it does not remove the effect completely. She also learned a few simple clensing rites and the like from her mother though very few. She is by no means a full shaman and knows very little about enchanting or magic outside of the few things her mother taught her before dying. From other friends she has learned a few other basic enchantments.

Her history really begins with her parents. Her father was a rich man in Ireland and destined to be a powerful lord… until he was attacked by a werewolf on a hunting trip. At first his strong will and wealthy family managed to keep the curse under control until he lost control one full moon and killed a maid. To avoid being killed himself he fled to America, though it did not take him long to be tracked there. He ran into the mountains, living sometimes as wolf and sometimes as a man. His guilt and loneliness drove him half mad until a Chickasaw woman found him. Using her spiritual powers she spoke not to the beast but to his very soul, soothing him in a way nothing else could. She helped him regain control and more importantly himself. Falling in love was only natural and from this love Fala was born.

Fala lived happily with her parents, even if she feared her father on nights the full moon rose and many seemed to dislike her for being a ‘half breed’. It was on her 14 birthday she would find her fear valid as he lashed out in anger while transformed. He caught her across the stomach but regained control before he hurt her further. The attack would trigger her abilities though they would not reach their peak until she reached her late teens.  While enduring  these changes her mother would fall to a mysterious illness and die in the middle of the night unexpectedly. After that her relationship with her father grew even more strained and her wanderlust all the more powerful. So at eighteen she left her home and headed for parts unknown.

For years she wandered, eventually meeting a bounty hunter who confused her with a werewolf terrorizing the area. She would work with the hunter to discover the werewolf and find that she was naturally good at the job. He would become her teacher, her friend, and the rest is history. Along her many journeys she would find, or more accurately be chosen by, the rifle Maria and a strange beast who desired to be her familiar. The strange shape-shifting beast, half demonic in nature, now follows her loyally.
