Name: Leah Bigmane Panthera
Description: Late 30's-early 40's. She/he pronouns. Leah’s eyes are gold and Her hair is bushy and long, giving her a sun-like aura to her countenance. Personality-wise, she is sunny as she appears, which is a direct opposite of what Mau are assumed to be. She wears pragmatically, favoring linens and leathers.
Skills: Charisma – Her biggest, best quality. Leah just gives off a Friend energy and its extremely difficult to genuinely hate her. She also knows what words to say and it always seems to be the right ones.
Naturalist – Leah studies plants and animals. Animals are okay (she likes to raise small animals) but Leah really loves plants. She is sad she cannot eat a good majority of plants (fun fact: chocolate is poisonous to Mau).
Moderately Athletic – Leah is a total nerd but it is always surprising when she can do backflips and outrun a bull.
Culture/Homeland: Leah is a League citizen. She is also a giant cat person.
Mau are a species of humanoids with various degrees of feline features. Mau used to be from Mau-Aaru region, the river delta that connects the Lutis River to the Bakin Seas. Most (well-off) Mau fled the region to the League during the war – as the delta was economically valuable (fertile grounds, good natural gate). Now, that region is absolutely wrecked. If there is any Mau still remaining there, they are scattered remnants rather than true settlements.
Mau value independence, trust, and a masterful control over emotions, which granted them an uncalled-for reputation of aloofness and perceived maliciousness. While much Mau culture has been lost in the war and the assimilation into the League, water motifs are still predominant in their surviving folklore/myths. They also love various shades of blue and green.
History: Leah was born to moderately successful scholars in Lutispolis, the (former) most populous city in the Mau-Aaru region, as the Erihal was entrenched in war.
When the war consumed Mau-Aaru, her parents fled to Mer-Dazur, a harbor city in the League, next to the Rafic Sea.
From her early life, her parents still instilled Leah with a love of knowledge. The love for knowledge was basically how they fostered hope. Things can be broken or destroyed. However, with knowledge, you can bring things back again. They also told stories about their former homeland, but never much because of the traumatic memories. This only served to instill Leah with a healthy curiosity.
Leah followed her parent's footsteps and finished her education at the prestigious Kelthurios University.
When the war ended and the League opened Erihal to resettlement, Leah grasped at that opportunity (it also helped that she disliked her job as an assistant to some big-name League scholar). Sure, Erihal was all ash and salt. Leah had no illusions. Life in the ruined country was going to be harsh and she might miss the comforts of society. However, she has no regrets because --
Reason for joining the Resettlement: –she felt a moral obligation to do so. Many nights, she wondered about what happened to those left behind, whether out of stubbornness or bad luck. What happened to the Mau? What happened to the other Erihalese lost in the open?
