    Abilities
    (Natural)
    - Maternal Instinct - Far above and beyond most, the cheetah is drawn deeply to the distress of a child and viciously protective of those in her custody. Because her instinct is so keen, she serves her masters most often as a wetnurse thanks to the very real physical manifestation of her need to play mother to the children in her care.
    - Sprint - Given the proper provocation, Najia can reach speeds maxing out at sixty miles per hour. More importantly, she has impressive maneuverability even at high speeds, though she sacrifices her most extreme bursts in favor of cornering. Because her people rely so keenly on sight rather than scent, her ability to keep close to her target are rivaled by few. However she can only maintain high speeds for up to a minute and intensive runs can leave her needing to rest for a half hour or more.

    (Learned)
    - Bolas - Disallowed to carry weapons designed to kill, she has however been permitted and even encouraged to carry bolas to discourage predators and keep her charges secure. A tripping weapon, the bolas are a weapon in which she is quite proficient.
    - Expanded Education - For the sake of being able to teach her charges as they grow, she has learned to read and write in more languages than she is even able to speak. Her penmanship is fine, and her understanding of most common maths exemplary.
    - Multi-Lingual - Raised to speak both common and afrikan, the clever cheetah has been outright taught or picked up a number of languages in her travels and trading. Call it an interest in her own future, seeing as a slave may enter any number of markets in their lifetime and find favor in speaking the local tongue.
    - Teaching - With a little guidance on the matter, she is perfectly capable of teaching her charges all that she knows, and has a knack for gaining and retaining their interest in doing so.

    Belongings
    - Armor - TBD
    - Bolas - Carried always, the bolas are her only true form of defense from man or beast.
    - Collar - A simple green leather strap with a brass buckle, an enameled tag dangles from it with the Wyvern's Cove emblem.
    - Journal - So that she may keep accurate account of her charges and their behaviors and learning for the sake of their parents.
