Hello, everyone! I've been in contact with Baklava in PM's and had this character approved, she'll be joining the RP soon!
Name: Ketalla
Age: 15
Race: Deku Scrub
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Ketalla is a juvenile female Deku Scrub, and is therefore quite small and lean in stature. She is approximately 3'2'' tall and weighs a whopping 50 pounds. She has orange eyes that glow like any other Deku, and her wooden body is a medium-brown color as seen in the picture. Unlike other Deku, Ketalla's hair (made of leaves) is a deep and rich green hue instead of the yellow that most Deku have. Perhaps this is simply because she is still young and her hair has not changed color to reflect the aging process. On her face are no notable scars or tattoos, but due to her personality she appears to always be blushing. The clothes she wears are seen above, a small green dress with frayed hemming along the bottom and a small green flower sown onto the front. The buds on her head are actually a sort of headband she made herself, and not part of her body. She wears a pair of green cuff-links to match her outfit and carries what seems to be an over-sized backpack filled with her inventory (explained later).
Theme Song:
Personality: Timid, Caring, Determined, Innocent, Perceptive, Creative, Clumsy
Backstory: Ketalla is a Deku that comes from deep in the Lost Woods. She was raised in a family of Business Scrubs, who were quite prosperous for a time. She would travel between the Lost Woods and the Kokiri Forest to visit friends and pay homage to the still-young Deku Tree. From both the Kokiri and the Deku Tree she learned how to become one with nature and to always assist those who needed help. Following this philosophy, she took it upon herself to learn practical first-aid for both Deku and Kokiri.
Her family's only customers were other Deku however, and soon the Deku of Lost Woods needed her family's services less and less until no profits could be made at all. It was around this time that she began to hear the whisper, beckoning for her to come to the Festival of Time. Eventually she explained what she heard to her family. Not knowing what to make of the "the world depends on it" portion, they determined that it was a sign that it was time for Ketalla to leave the forest and pursue the life of a traveling merchant. Having already decided at a young age that she would follow in her father's footsteps and become a Business Scrub herself, Ketalla set out on her journey. The first place she will try to sell her goods is Kakariko Village. Since the Festival of Time is happening, many people will be there buying all sorts of things so to Ketalla it seems like the perfect business opportunity. Deep down, however, she truly believes that she has been called to perform some greater feat, for the benefit of everyone.
Skills/Talents:
1. Entrepreneurship (PS)- Raised in a family of merchants, Ketalla is familiar with the basic ins and outs of entrepreneurship, including basic principles of economics and bartering skills. More often than not she can get the better end of a deal, or minimize her losses in an unfavorable deal.
2. Forest Magic (MS)- For both combat and practical uses, Ketalla is adept with the magic of nature. She can fight by summoning plants to fight for her or to whip at foes with thorny vines, etc. She does not like to fight,however, and mostly uses her magic for healing and curing purposes. She is also able to summon a Deku Flower to hide inside of or fly with.
3. Deku Flower (PS)- Ketalla can hide most effectively in a Deku Flower and can spring upward from it at a moment's notice. Once airborne she can use petals gathered from within to keep herself aloft, hovering slowly in any direction she chooses until she runs out of momentum.
4. First Aid (SS)- Besides using Fey Magic, Ketalla is able to perform basic first-aid on both plants and animals. She is able to address minor wounds easily and can heal serious wounds skillfully if given the time and concentration. She is unable to use these skills to heal anything inorganic, and cannot use these skills on Gorons (although pure fey magic can still heal them to a degree).
5. Agile footwork (CS)- Due to her small size and light weight, Ketalla is prone to being physically wounded. However, she is also able to move very quickly, and is better at dodging attacks than an average human by a noticeable margin. She can also run very quickly for someone of her size, especially over uneven terrain. Lastly, she can hop across water (or any other fluid she is more buoyant than that doesn't impede movement or set her on fire) for as long as she retains momentum.
6. Light Magic (MS)- Though to a lesser degree than Forest Magic, Ketalla can use Light Magic at a basic level to heal herself or allies with pure energy as opposed to using the various herbs and plants she specializes in. This is especially useful for treating wounds on something inorganic like a Goron, and is generally faster for healing than Forest Magic.
7. Sewing (PS)- Ketalla is able to sew clothing back together and create new clothing if she has the materials.
Goal(s): Ketalla's goal is to become a renown Business Scrub. She believes that by doing this she can make her family proud by saving them from going bankrupt, as well as help people from all over the world by selling what they are looking for (which is a genuine concern of hers).
Inventory: (Because she's a merchant she carries a lot of things with her in a large backpack, which holds enough for one person to hike a mountain if they wished. That doesn't mean that she can properly utilize or has a need for everything she carries for personal use.)
