Background: Ichika was born on the Eve kingdom island. It is a well known fact that the island is covered with forests and wilderness. On Eve, more than anywhere else, there are people who decides to live outside of the major city's borders. Those people form small tribes that live in complete symbiosis with nature, only going back to the city to buy or sell things at the market. People who decides to live in such a way are, of course, extremely sturdy, and thus, make extremely good soldiers. Then came the war...and the royal family could not wait for volunteers to rise up to the call anymore. Kantle was ceaseless, and the army was too little. Decisions were made, and soon, soldiers went to the tribes one after the other in order to forcefully enroll as many warriors as possible. They claimed it to be in order to serve their nation and please the gods.

In such a time was Ichika born. Barely having reached her 13th year into this world, both her parents were taken and never seen again. The girl kept on living among the other orphans of the tribe, learning to master their arts; hunt, fight, track, fish...

Survive.

During their 14th year, considered the time where children become young adults, they would go into the woods in order to master their surviving sills until satisfied. It was not obligatory, but strongly encouraged. Ichika partaken in this ritual, and it was then that she met her companion she later named [i]Kukucan[/i]. It belonged to a species living nearby the village, great forest cobra with azure scales and wings able to take them across the skies. They seemed intimidating, but Ichika saw it as a trial from the gods. She tracked the snake days and night until, finally, she found the courage and right moment to approach it. Since that day, they remained together as best of companions, and returned to the village.

Personality: Ichaka is a cool-headed young woman that doesn't like to chit-chat for naught. She feel more at ease surrounded by trees than by people, but still show patience and generosity towards other. Ichaka do not stand being seen as weak, or insulted, and will seek her own retribution against people who dare show her such a lack of respect. The memory of the war, and her parents, is strongly rooted within her...she hold a solid grudge against anyone from Kantle despite never having met one before.
