  Acrobatics Flips, twists and the like ________________ Halia was born with a natural gracefulness, which made it easy for her to have a proper posture despite her lowborn upbringing. As a child she was great at climbing and balancing on thing and had a natural knack for juggling, but as an adolescent she honed this into a skill with the help of her Aunt and a cousin on her mothers side. As she grew, so did her skill, branching from simple feats of climbing, simple balancing and juggling acts, to complex acrobatic feats such as acro-dancing, tight rope walking and variations of it, pole climbing and balancing acts. Various types of flips, twists and somersaults from either a standing or running position, hand walking and more complex things such as Aerial silk or hoop acts. She always seems to land on her feet and this isn't due to her being a feline. Musician “Where words leave off, music begins.” ________________ Halia is a skilled musician, learning at a rather young age, having started around the time she was 8. She learned singing first. Upon discovery that she had a beautiful singing voice, which bled into learning how to play an instrument, and then two. By the time she was 18 she had been influenced by multiple family members and had actually been sent to schooling, something that was a gift for her 14th birthday and something that cost her family dearly. It was not all for nothing though, as she picked up knowledge on how to play 4 different instruments, how to weave song and poetry and improved on her singing. She often plays a lute or lyre harp and has a tambourine or finger cymbals not far from her. She knows how to play a viola [or anything in the viol family], but it is the one she does not own.

  Dancing “Dance is the hidden language of the soul” ________________ Dancing is an art that has grown with Halia. She learned it almost simultaneously during her time learning acrobatics, though she really begun learning it when she was sent to scooling for her musical talent. Her graceful nature made her a natural for fine dancing and she often mixed her acrobatics with dancing. She usually incorporates bells in an outfit that she intends to be dancing with, as it is just as much a musical experience for her. She knows some styles of courtly dancing, but her main attributes in it come from free form dancing. Some is slightly suggestive in nature, others more fun and carefree, almost comedic in ways.. No matter how she is dancing, there is a fiery air of passion in how she does it, perhaps thanks to her Catolian heritage. Dagger fighting Stab 'em with the steely knives ________________ This was not a skill that was easily learned, it was learned out of necessity and taught by her Uncle on her fathers side when she was 12 when the rise to defend ones self had become more and more of a personal problem. She thankfully has not been in too many knife fights, but at least knows well enough how to defend herself when she IS in one. She carries a roundel dagger and is adept at using it and quite dexterous to boot with it. Matched with her quick nature and quick hands, she could potentially be quite deadly if she honed this skill to the level of an assassins, but she does not go looking for fights and simply has the know how to defend and protect herself. She is capable with knives as well and is quite good at throwing them, but prefers to keep the weapon IN her hand.
