Additional Status: She lived in a buffalo tribe until recently. She was the granddaughter of their tribe's Shaman, who raised her after her parents were killed at a young age.

The braids are held together with turquoise beads, and she usually wears two feathers tucked behind her left ear. Red-tailed hawk feathers. She braids her tail similarly.
Eye Color: Her eyes are actually light blue. She's not an albino, her fur just has weird coloring.

-Social Stuff-

-Personality Stuff-
Likes: Like most of her people, she LOVES apples. She also loves nature, her tribe's folk music, and helping people.
Dislikes: She strongly dislikes when people harm nature. She hates litter. She dislikes solitude as well, being from a tribe to being alone has been hard for her.
Motivation: She wants to learn all she can about spiritual healing to become a full fledged shaman. She wishes to return to her people once more, but only after she's sure the bad omen can be dispelled or reversed.
Strengths: She is selfless and gentle. She is also studious and has a serious personality. She lives to help people. She has strong ties to spiritual magic.
Weaknesses/Flaws: She is extremely naive and ignorant of life outside of her tribe. She is physically weak, bordering of frailty. She can be very timid, especially around male ponies. She also seems to have terrible bad luck.
Fears: She is afraid of coyotes, and a little scared of males. Mostly because she find them intimidating. (She Was raised around huge honkin' Buffalo)
Personality: She is a sweet, gentle, and soft-spoken young girl. She is atttuned to nature and the spirits of the animals, land, and beyond. Because of this, she has a hard time talking to real people. She thinks of herself as being bad luck (Not so much as Having bad luck as much as Being the source of bad luck...like a black cat). Because of this, she tries to isolate herself from others. Despite that, she tries to help anyone who seeks her medical or spiritual knowledge. She is hungry to learn and become a shaman strong enough to overcome her bad luck. In essence she is a shy, spiritual dreamer who is yearning to find a place where she truly belongs.
Note: She left her tribe when she had a vision of a great disaster. The spirit of the Hawk told her that if she were to remain with her people, she would bring about the destruction of her tribe. She ran away from them to try and save them, but she isn't certain whether it was just a bad dream or a true vision. But her unlucky streak makes her think the threat legitimate.
