From a young age, she had learned how to survive in the harsh climate, no matter how hard the sun shone on her pristine, yet hardened skin. She stood at 5"7, which was quite tall for her age. The Santysma family was well-known for their medical prowess, ranging from herb gathering to healing rituals. These ancient techniques were then passed on to Almira, as an act of tradition and simply because they treasured their daughter deeply. She accepted the inheritance with an open heart and vowed to put it to good use, whether it be for herself or those around her. As she was quite the fast learner, she soaked in all the knowledge they provided within a span of twelve weeks- just enough to keep her alive on her own. Whenever she was alone, she took the chance to practice herb-gathering, practicing on their village's patients and drawing archaic circles in the sand to sharpen her skills. The young girl's parents watched on with eyes swelling with pride and joy. At the age of only 15, she decided to roam the lands and beyond in search of something more, and to help those in need. By this time, she had already grown accustomed to the vast deserts and its inhabitants, so it did not make sense to only be confined to this section of the world. After leaving her beloved home with the permission and blessing of her parents, she set off to explore with a ready-made sack, gardening tools and a portable water filtration system.[/i][/color] [color=gray][i]Along the course of her journey, Almira had come across a very large, extrusive bump in the sand. She had barely scathed the surface, before realizing the bump was patterned with dark scales... and breathing. Immediately, she dug into the sand until the reptilian creature that the sand obscured could breathe freely once again. It seemed to have been weighed down by severe breathing difficulties, falling unconscious as the sand concealed the mountainous beast. While it heaved and snorted, the girl carefully pulled out her scalpel so as to not alert the reptile, and slid the knife into its sternum- up and through the jugular notch to free its breathing canal of any excessive dust and sand particles. With time, the creature began to breathe normally, despite the blood leaking from its neck. The reptile tried to lift itself off of the sandy mound, to no avail. Almira took notice of this and stayed by his side, never leaving until he was nursed back to health. As time passed and the reptile had healed, they grew very close- she took the reptile as her own companion, vowing to protect it so long as he helped her throughout her voyage.[/i][/color] [i][b]"I shall call you Ahmir."[/b][/i] [color=gray][i]Ahmir can carry Almira through vast expanses of the desert, thanks to his large size and decent stamina. With large antennae to sense oncoming danger and Almira to keep his energy running sufficient, they make the ideal traveling pair. He is able to hop over rocky terrain and climb over mountains and sand dunes considerably well for a lizard, and like his owner, has a protective film over his eyes to protect them from sand.[/i][/color] [color=c4df9b][h2][i]Ahmir "Santysma"[/i][/h2][/color] ____________________________________________________________________________________________ [img]http://i.imgur.com/Jspvg6e.jpg?1[/img] ____________________________________________________________________________________________ [color=c4df9b][i]Ahmir || Unknown Age || Sand Burrowing Lizard || Non-Hostile || 120kgs || Omnivore[/i][/color] [h1][i]"RAKAHKKAKKHKHKKAKKUKUKUU..."[/i][/h1] [/centre]
