Nayla
Nayla
Ghost In The System
Born and raised in the lands of Navorost, Nayla has left little trace of her existence on Earth. Much of this world, in fact, is still new to her, strange. Society is different here. Clashes of culture are almost a daily occurrence. Some say she has already been here a few years. Others say she's hardly clocked a year on this side of the Gate. And who would know but the Wildling herself. Someone who is but a glimpsed shadow on the alley walls to most would have no difficulty changing or masking one's identity.
Shamanist and Spirit-Seeker
Educated, through study and experimentation, from mid-teens into early adulthood in various schools of occultism and arcanism of native Navorostian tribes, Nayla's first arrival in Haven was as a medicine woman. A little witchy shop in the woods was her home from where she provided medical aid and an occultist's assistance in seances, sanctification, exorcism, and the procurement of entheogens. There are rumours her coven were Witches of the Wilds, druidic medicine women all, while others may swear she was taught by a darker cabal. And her services are available again, though to locate this drifter may prove more challenging than a regular visit to the GP.
Freak Of, and From, Nature
Outcast of a former Tribe. Her People scattered. Her former friends vanished or dead. Outsider in the world of 'Earth'. Nayla makes her presence known in Haven's society rarely. Experiences change and shape someone, and rough ones at that make wary the crow that is without murder. She associates and identifies with others who are without a place on Earth, without purpose in this strange world, who are spat at, forgotten about, and labelled as outcasts by their own or those all around them. Anyone branded a stranger, a danger, an anomaly. And those she tends to seek, and find, outside of modern-day society's embrace, outside its reach.

OOC Note
Included in, but not exclusive to, all occult and witchy RP of Nayla is the potential/intent of exploring Body, Paranormal, and Folk Horror, as well as mild Psychological and 'Cosmic' Horror. Experimentation is one of her things, both on willing individuals, and unwilling monsters. She practices both primitive and holistic/alternative medicine, which can definitely involve gore, creepy crawlers, narcotics, and other disgusting, shocking stuff and imagery. If certain things make you very uncomfortable, due to phobias or general unease, let me know via a Tell and I'll avoid these particular things to make the scene/antag more engaging, fun, and bearable for us both.
