@Jones SparrowAlso still here haha! Things shouldn't be so hectic for me anymore. *she says as she keeps her fingers crossed*

Dawson (A Wild West RP)

Zuya Keyoe

Everything seemed to happening so quickly and so Zuya kept her focus on taking down as many of Dawson’s men as she could. ”Nice shot.” She glanced around at the sound and noticed the blond haired woman and that’s when she realized there were quite a few who had joined this mess. ”Thank you.” She gave the woman a small smile before she focused herself once more, taking out another man. She felt back to fine she only had about seven arrows left in her quiver and decided to take her shots a bit more carefully.

A woman cried out and it startled her as she glanced around and spotted the woman who had come blitzing in on a horse had been shot. She could only hope that the woman’s wound wasn’t too bad as she realized perhaps having allies wouldn’t be too bad if she wanted to take Dawson out. They needed to end this firefight soon, however, if they all wanted to make it out alive and actually have allies.

That’s when she heard his voice calling out to the Coyote and her head whipped towards the sound. There she saw Bradley being held up by two other men and she gritted her teeth. So the bastard was still alive. Good. She had a pretty good vantage point on him and she nocked another arrow, taking aim. She took a slow breath in before letting the arrow fly, hitting her target. The arrow pierced Bradley's upper thigh and he cried out in pain as he looked down at it. Before they had time to realize where the arrow had come from she was already releasing two more arrows at the goons holding him up. They went down quickly and she smiled triumphantly as she knew that should keep Bradly down for a bit till she could get to him.

Her victory was short lived as a shot rang passed her and she realized she’d finally been spotted. She dropped to the ground before beginning to move. She needed to get to another location with more cover and quickly. She made it to the edge and was beginning to climb down when and explosion rattled the building, causing her to lose her grip and fall to the ground. She hit the ground hard and the wind was knocked out of her. She lay there for a moment, trying to regain her breath before she assessed herself. Nothing seemed to be broken, than goodness, but she knew she would be quite sore the next morning. Thankfully her bow was still in tact as well, though it seemed a couple arrows didn’t fare so well. That left her with only two arrows left which meant she’d have to wait out the firefight some before being able to make it over to Bradley. In preparation moved down to her horse in the ally and secured her bow to him before grabbing her dagger. She kept herself hidden in the alley, but continued watching the scene and waiting for the opportune moment to go give Bradly the death he deserved.

Woohoo I'm so excited! I'll hopefully have a character up tomorrow ^_^.

Oh yay! I'm already excited! So I probably won't get too super back story-ish... I kind of like the idea of us creating a story. So everyone is cool with the idea of free-formed character building?

@Eveekitten

Yeah I'm totally cool with that ^_^.

Count me in as well! Fantasy is my absolute favorite genre!

Dawson (A Wild West RP)

Zuya Keyoe

The saloon was crowded from the time Zuya had walked in earlier that morning. It always amazed her at how early some people would start their revelries, but at least it was to her benefit. At least she wasn’t taken notice of as she walked in, tho that could have also been due to how she was dressed. She had donned a smaller pair of mens pants along with a faded white shirt. She had tucked her long dark hair up under a hat and used that hat to obscure her facial features. You didn’t often find many women in the saloons like this other than the prostitutes, let alone a native woman so she found it best to try and disguise who she really was.

She had seated herself at a table up against a wall yet near enough to the door in case she had to make a quick getaway. A few days of following Dawson’s men had tipped her off to the fact that they often liked to visit this saloon, but she had yet to come across the men she was looking for. So she was hoping that today may be her lucky day.

It had been about an hour that she’d been sitting there when a trio walked in. They weren’t Dawson’s men for sure, but what had caught her eye was that one of them was native like her and another was also a woman. They were an intriguing group, but she didn’t watch them for too long so not to attract attention to herself. She took another sip of her whiskey then sighed as she glanced around the room.

Another hour passed by when finally they walked in and she grinned as she saw it was who she was looking for. Bradley Grant, one of the men who attacked her and the man that pulled the trigger on her husband.

She didn’t have much time to start formulating a plan on how to take him out, however, as a slap rang out and she glanced over at his companion who was in a dispute with a prostitute. She discreetly moved her hand down to her side, preparing to go for the dagger she had hidden in her boot in case things began to get ugly. However one of the men in the trio who walked in earlier confronted him. What the hell? Is this man looking for a fight? She thought to herself as the conflict began. She didn’t foresee things turning out to well with it so she quickly downed the rest of the whisky she’d been nursing before silently getting up and making her way outside. She hadn’t brought her bow in with her as that would have drawn suspicion and had left it on her horse. She decided she needed to get to it quick before things got ugly.

She made her way down the alley she’d tied up Sota and quickly grabbed her bow as she heard the dispute move outside. Just from the sound of things she knew this would end in a fire fight and she needed to find some high ground. Glancing around she mapped a path using some crates and windowsills to get herself onto the roof of the building she was by. She slung the bow across her body and quickly made her way up to the roof with surprising ease.

As she got herself situated, taking off her hat and letting two braids fall around her shoulders, she glanced down at the scene to see the trio now surrounded by Dawson’s men. She also saw the woman riding like hell towards the group with pursuers on her tail and Zuya wanted to yell to her to watch out, but it was too late. The collision caused some confusion, but not for long as a gunshot rang out. Her head whipped towards the man, “The Coyote”, and she gritted her teeth in anger. He had just taken out her target and gave him a far too quick and easy death. She couldn’t stew for too long, however, as all hell broke loose. She surveyed the scene and watched as people went for cover. She nocked an arrow then pulled the string back and released it towards a man who was firing at “The Coyote”. She hit him square in the shoulder, which wouldn’t kill him right out but left unattended he would die. She nocked another arrow and surveyed the scene again. She noticed one of the woman’s pursuers was now headed towards her and the native man who had taken cover behind some crates below Zuya. She had a clear shot on him and released, the arrow embedding itself in the man’s neck. This was not how she foresaw her day going.

@Loki OdinsonHaha yeah I actually was checking out the interest check thread of this before I came over here and started formulating up my character, but I wasn't sure where in the west this was gonna take place. So I was debating on whether she should be Yavapaii-Apache, Hopi, or even Navajo. Then I saw your character and I decided to go with Sioux as well to have some common ground with at least one character haha.

@Jones SparrowFor Zuya I was thinking she's probably been stalking Dawson and the men that killed her family. Maybe they run into her then or something?

Zuya Keyoe

”Beware the patient woman.”

Age:

25

Bio:

Zuya was born into a Sioux tribe a few miles outside of the town of Dawson to mother Wakiya and father Chaska. Her father was a warrior and a hunter while her mother was in charge of the home. She would be their only child and the couple loved her deeply. As a young girl her mother taught her how to weave baskets, make clothing, cook, and taught her different plants and what their uses were for. Zuya was never appreciative of the things her mother tried to teach her, however, as Zuya wanted to be like her father. She wanted to hunt and be a warrior, but her mother always shot her down. Secretly when her mother wasn’t looking her father would take Zuya out and taught her how to use a bow. She loved spending this time with her father, tho it did cause some issues between her father and her mother.

When Zuya was 14 she had her first encounter with a white man. The man with the funny accent, which she would later learn was originally from a place called Scotland, came to her tribe to trade with them. She was very intrigued by this man and loved to sit with the other children of the tribe to listen to him tell stories. He was always very kind to her and her people and because of this she began to look forward to when he would visit.

On one visit before Zuya turned 15 the man, who’s name she had learned was James Anderson, brought his son with him. Ethan wasn’t more than 20 at the time and Zuya was awestruck by him. In time they grew closer to each other until two weeks before she was to turn 17 he had asked her to marry him. Despite objections from her mother, her father agreed to the marriage and they were married on the day she turned 17. She was frightened to leave her tribe and family, but she knew if she had Ethan at her side she could do it.

She was soon to find out that not all were as kind to her and her people as Ethan and his father were. They moved into the town of Dawson, but soon were run out to the outskirts of town by Dawson’s men. Life was not made easy for the young couple and they often struggled to survive as many in the town were unwilling to sell them things or even employ Ethan. They made it by with her husband hunting and trading with the rare few people in the town that were willing.

This went on for several years, but they always managed to make it by. Eventually Zuya became pregnant and the couple were so very excited to be having a child. Their happiness was short lived unfortunately when 6 months into the pregnancy Dawson’s men showed up at their door. They claimed Ethan owed them money and an argument ensued. Zuya was uncomfortable the whole time as she was getting unsettling looks from some of the men. Before she could register what was happening a shot rang out and she watched her husband collapse to the floor. At the sight of her dead husband she screamed out in grief and anger as she turned and jumped on one of the men. She began beating him with her fists, but was soon pulled off of him. She fought, but there were too many of them as they began beating her. They beat her until she had no fight left and she felt as if she would die. After that she remembers lying on the ground, staring at her dead husband as the men raped her and then left her to die from her wounds.

She was found by an older couple who lived on the outskirts of town like them and often came to visit and trade with Zuya and her husband. They took her in and nursed her back to health, but unfortunately they couldn’t save her baby. She gave birth to a stillborn baby boy whom she named Enapay which means "roars bravely in the face of danger". She was heartbroken for a long time and Mr. and Mrs. Fraser worried if Zuya would soon fade away.

One day she woke up with a new fire lit in her heart. She wants revenge and will stop at nothing until she has it. A year has passed since the death of her husband and child and now she’s out for blood.
Weapons: She has a bow and arrows her father gave to her shortly before she was married and she’s been practicing silently taking things out with it. She also keeps a small dagger hidden on her person at all times so nothing like what happened before can happen again.
