Rank/Title
Mercenary ScoutPhysical Appearance
Tall and lean with sun bronzed skin and long dark hair, Naila can make for a striking figure. Hailing from the Eurasian steppe, Naila typically dresses like the stereotypical savage nomad her clients expect her to be, repleat with feathers, beads, and warpaint.Personality
Naila tends to present her self with a cocky swagger while seeking clients, which she has found to sell well, but on the job, she can be very focused and reticent. She can be pretty icy and condescending around others, which is a way she defends herself from men and anyone else that might try to hurt her. Naila pretends to be fearless, but deep down she is terrified of being vulnerable.History
Naila was the only child her parents produced that survived much beyond infancy. Her father pushed her to become the son he never had, resulting in Naila become highly competitive against the other boys in the clan. As she grew up, she came to be able to out-ride, out-shoot and out-hunt any of her peers, earning the ire of many of them.Unfortunately, as she grew into a woman, her prowess and beauty drew the interest of their chieftain's son, who thought he could tame her. He was wrong, and after she rejected his advances several times, he enlisted the aid of some of his friends, which resulted in a fight in which Naila mortally wounded the chieftain's son. She fled on her horse that very night and never saw her family or friends ever again.
She fled west toward Assyria, where she eventually found work with a band of mercenaries that were working with the Assyrian's at the time. Naila didn't get along well with most of her colleagues, but she learned the tricks of the trade, and when things went sour some time later, she began to do freelance work. A year into freelancing, Naila has made a name for herself amongst the Assyrian Aristocracy as fast rider, reliable scout, and an intimidating thug for hire.
