Muu'Nati
(Pronounced: Moo-Nah-tee)
[Originally created by Cyntawni]
Women, warriors guardians.
The Muu’Nati are a tribe made up of women from several other nations in the surrounding lands. They are warriors, the protectors of The Lands, chosen by Meyotah to use cunning, skill, and craft to keep their Lands and the surrounding nations safe.
Hand picked by the Goddess from their very conception, it is an honor and privilege to be one of Meyotah’s chosen, Moon Kissed(*). The Goddess sees them as fit to be one of her elite warriors, to protect those who follow her word, and has granted them Her powers. One does not become Moon Kissed. They are born to the calling and each of the native tribes knows what to look for. For most, the Heela(**) is the first thing that makes them aware the child is Moon Kissed. At that point, the Muu’Nati are sent for and asked to welcome the Moon Kissed into their ranks where they will be accepted as a Tribe (or Pack) Sister and trained as defenders and guardians. There are those, however, who are born bloodling(***). They are born Wolf. It’s rare, but it does happen and if not handled very carefully and with the strength of another Moon Kissed to guide the birth, the mother of the bloodling rarely survives. It is said that some will seek out the Moon Kissed for visions before the birth of a child in hopes that by doing so, they may receive the Goddess’s blessing.
*Moon Kissed:Born with a soul that is half anthro, half feral and all temper. Moon Kissed are always female, there is no record in the history of the tribes that speaks of a male being Moon Kissed. It is believed that males can be carriers of the gene, that the goddess may see fit to bless his children with her Kiss, but something in his blood… something that makes him MALE… seems to resist accepting the Kiss himself.
**Heela (H is pronounced with a hiss):A hollow, retractable “snake-fang” (Solenoglyphous), under one nail on each hand that produces a highly potent venom which acts as a sedative. It also produces an effect where it allows a mind link between the Moon Kissed and the victim. During this mind link, the Moon Kissed can invade the person’s dreams/thoughts, see memories and implant suggestions. It’s often been used as a method of shamanistic visions for some Moon Kissed. For those more skilled in it’s use, it can be used to ‘break’ a person’s mind and bend them to the Moon Kissed’s will. This is a double edged sword, however, as during the mental invasion, the Moon Kissed is vulnerable to their own mental attacks.
***Bloodling:A Moon Kissed who is born in their wolf form or turns shortly after. While generally, the wolf comes later in development, there are those who have the calling much earlier in life. Despite it's rarity, a Bloodling is predisposed to being fierce and aggressive, including during their birth where, without another Moon Kissed to guide them, it's not uncommon for the wolf pup to tear at their mother's insides or even try to chew their way out.
Generally, the local tribes keep in close contact with the alpha of the Muu'Nati. In this way, if a Bloodling is suspected, the alpha can make certain that she's there to guide the young wolf to minimize damage to the mother.

Goddess
Meyotah
Warrior Goddess of the Moon, Meyotah is the deity revered by the Muu'Nati and the surrounding tribes. In times of war and hardships, it is to her they turn and she has often blessed them with her graces.
Meyotah is often viewed as The Great Wolf who guards and guides the moon as it makes it’s nightly trip. Together, the two provide light for the nocturnal hunters, shadows for the cunning warriors, and give balance to the never ending flow of natural energy.
In this way, Meyotah is protector and guardian of all things important to the Muu’Nati’s way of life.
