Character Name: Jelana

 

Age: 15

 

Aspiring Society: Far Dareis Mai

 

Weapons of Choice: Hand to Hand, Knives

 

Clan (Dragonmount or Shaido): Dragonmount

 

Personality:

 

Almost the complete opposite of her (slightly) older sister, Jelana loves combat. Sparring made both combatants better fighters, which strengthened the hold in turn. The fact that no one in her direct family was particularly adept at fighting meant she took it upon herself to protect them by being able to outfight and outlast any other Aiel, a feeling that was only strengthened by how her sister looked out for her in her own way by taking care of her wounds, and mending her clothing after yet another spar. She had a feeling she owed her toh because of this, and compensated by focusing on honing her fighting skills even more.

 

Though being less idealistic than her twin sister, her emotions provide her with a strong moral compass as well. Unlike Jehaine however, she is extrovert and fully confident about her abilities, her frequent spars helping her to find her limitations and work to expand them. This is backed up by a fair share of courage, and she looks down on those that would flee from battle.

 

Just about the only personality trait that shows the two are actually related would be that the both of them are heavy sleepers, and have a hard time waking up after sleeping for more than four hours.

 

Physical Description:

 

Standing at 5 ft 11, and weighing 145 pounds, Jelana has an athletic build, and trains to ensure her muscles keep from affecting her speed. Though slower than her sister, she is far stronger, and wins most of the time the two siblings wrestle for fun. She has vermillion red hair reaching down to just below her shoulder blades in length, and her eye color is close to the purple of twilight. This, along with a small mouth and nose frames a heart shaped face with a pointed chin.

 

As far as clothing is concerned, she tries to emulate a cadin'sor as much as possible without it actually being a cadin'sor, at least not until she joins a Society. Favoring knives over spears, she usually carries an extra belt knife around with her, and prefers the same sand and earth colored clothing as can be seen in cadin'sor.

 

Place of Birth/Raising: Chareen clan, White Mountain sept.

 

 

Character History:

 

Born as the youngest twin daughter of a seamstress and a Tain Shari Aiel, Jelana had a relatively easy childhood compared to the other Aiel families, something that annoyed her to no end. With both parents not particularly adept at combat, and her sister unsuited for prolonged fighting, she saw it as her task to ensure her family would get the share of ji it deserved. As her mother taught her sister, so did her father take her under his wing, and taught the girl what he knew of tactics as well as some pointers on combat.

 

Jelana worked on fighting almost as if to make up her sister's lack of potential, and as a result her skill at arithmetic suffered, falling below average compared to the other Aiel of her age. Even though her sister and mother -- and therefore her roof -- was considered property of a craftswoman (and therefore not to be touched in a raid), she wanted to be prepared in case a raider had a more different view of ji'e'toh, or simply in case they ended up at the wrong place at the wrong time.
