Seyra Gryphonheart

One of the more friendly faces of the Skyfall colony is Seyra Gryphonheart. The twenty-year-old Itla never hesitates to put the abilities she gained as Silver Summoner to good use, and she's never one to reject someone in need. The friendly demi girl is only 1.38m tall, with a shock of dark brown hair and fluorescent scales littering her hazel skin. A feather from one of the steelfeather gryphons hangs from her neck by a cord.

Backstory
Seyra was born to a nomadic tribe that had taken to travelling around the planet, tending to survivors and gathering resources from drop pods. There, she was raised with love by both her parents, an Itla and a human, who were both Silver Summoners. They taught her how to be kind and caring, regardless of someone's past.

Throughout the years, she heard countless stories about the great things that people had achieved in the core worlds; the very same planets her grandparents were from. Tales of impossibly tall buildings, of machines that allowed you to talk to people on the other side of the galaxy, of machines that fabricated food out of almost nothing. She regularly gazed at the stars, hoping that, one day, she'd see those glittering core worlds herself.

Then her relatively comfortable life filled with familial love and care was abruptly torn away. A band of raiders attacked the caravan, mowing through pack animal and person alike. Seyra managed to escape by hiding in the bushes, her parents having grown them to cover her completely before joining the desperate fight. They died before her eyes.

Seyra stayed there, hidden, until darkness fell and the raiders sat by their campfires. Then she cut herself free from the plants and ran, leaving with nothing but a broken heart, a tear-stricken face, and the clothes on her back.

Appearance & Gear
Standing at only 1.38m (4'6) tall, Seyra has the small and lithe stature almost all Itla have. She has golden eyes with slitted, snake-like pupils, and fluorescent scales litter her hazel skin. Wild, semi-curly dark brown hair flows down her head to the back of her neck, where she cuts it short with her knife. The Silver Star glyph is embedded in the palm of her left hand, and the other glyphs showing her abilities are on her arms, slowly climbing up towards her shoulders.

Seyra is dressed in a simple woollen tunic and pants with a hole to allow her tail free movement. Her feet are adorned with leather boots. A steel feather hangs from a leather cord around her neck, marking her as part of the Gryphonheart tribe.

She carries a simple leather backpack that holds most of her belongings: a waterskin, some shiny stones she collected, plants and herbs, wire, fishing hooks, a mirror, and various tools. On her belt are various smaller pouches, as well as her knife and her slingshot.



Personality
The morals that her parents instilled in Seyra still run deep: care for others without question, treat them with the kindness you want to be met with, and be generous without expecting anything in return. But her mask of happiness now hides a deep sorrow, an open wound that refuses to heal. The loss of her family and her tribe still hurt her deeply, and any accidental reminders make her choke up and withdraw to cry in solitude.
