Name: Lesa'ah Brookwalk
Sex: Female
Age: 23
Hair Color/Style: She has dark auburn hair, very wavy, which falls about halfway down her back when loose. She often wears it in a series of many smaller braids; in her leisure time she likes to loop and pin them in elaborate arrangements with carved wooden hairpins. When working, though, she bundles all the braids up and clubs them together with simple ties.
Eye Color: Hazel.
Skin Tone/Pattern: Her skin is a medium shade of brown, close to umber, with a strong reddish tint. She has large spots of a darker mohagany shade.
Other Physical Details: She's tall, topping out at 6'2" and a bit, and has fairly prominent arm and chest musculature because of her work. Her face is fairly long, and she has a pointy jaw, a long nose, and notably thick eyebrows. She's missing half of her ring finger on her right hand.
Occupation: Wood-crafter.
Skills: She's pretty good at carpentry, has some basic building skills, and is very good at fine wood-carving work. She does some cooking but is no more than a fair hand at it.
Personality: Lesa'ah is a restless sort, the type who's rarely satisfied with the state of things as they are and always wants to 'improve' them. Not change them, necessarily; she's fairly conservative, and in fact at some point she often ends up stripping whatever she's working on down to the bone and taking off all previous additions in order to 'fix' it. But after she's fussed at something long enough and nit-picked it to death, if she's still not happy with it (and she's usually still not happy), she'll throw up her hands and start in on something else. This has always shown in her wood-crafting work, where carvings often ended up added on and then pared down and then redone until someone took the piece away from her, and is also the reason she has never been then good at cooking--it needs more spice, or less spice next time, or different tomatoes, without ever taking time to master the basic recipe. She'll complain a lot about whatever is currently occupying her, but is fiercely defensive of any current 'projects' and will chase anyone else away if they try to help. She's not a fan of help in general, taking it as a criticism, and can get pretty snappish about that. When she manages to restrain her discontent, though, or around those who are willing to simply ignore it, she's not bad company. She is a generous person, who likes making and giving gifts, and she'll freely offer advice to anyone who comes to her with a problem (though she's a bad person to come to if all you want is a sympathetic ear). She is a bit of a meddler, as you might be able to guess. She just wants everything to be... better. Even if she's never quite sure, when asked, exactly how she'd define 'better.'
Brief History: Lesa'ah was the second of three children, the only girl, and had a fairly typical childhood for Kala Ree. Her parents were trappers and hunters who also worked and sold the skins of what they caught, but Lesa'ah was very clumsy and loud when she was young, and they doubted that she would ever be successful at their career. Some of her mother's relatives were wood-crafters, so when she was an adolescent Lesa'ah was sent to learn their trade instead. She grew out of the clumsiness, fortuntely, though not before she lost most of a finger to her education, but she never did grow out of the loudness, so this was probably for the best. She proved to have a talent for small carving in particular, due to her attention to detail, and while she helped out daily with the rest of the work she ended up specializing in small decorative ornaments. While she liked the work and stuck with it for several years, she was never fully satisfied, and eventually decided that it was worth trying to become a Kyrider.
