The Iron Woman

---

---

Primarily a pale cream colour, emerald eyes practically shining, yet scarred all over and a single ear at a half-prick - she is an acquired taste to most. She is far from pretty and does nothing to mend this, remaining unkempt and allowing herself to scar. A new scar on her right shoulder: clawmarks.

Workaholic | Insecure | Strong-willed

Tongue as sharp as the weapon she was named after, Pala is quick to bite and slow to trust. Her insecurities are clear, and she often appears emotional.

Much more comfortable in the presence of familiar women or family, she rarely allows herself to relax unless in their presence. She is a genuine workaholic, stubborn and relentless.

Born to a mountain pack of wolfdogs, Pala lived a good early life. She was surrounded by family, and embraced by her culture where her scars made her a vision of beauty. However, at the wishes of her brother they left for the Teekon Wilds.

Along the way Pala was separated from Yataghan, joining Montagne de Cigue when she arrived to the Teekons with the hopes of waiting for a brother who never came. However, Pala did attract the attention of the Matriarche's son. Convinced by Chaudry, Pala bore him three children. She was miserable, and felt no connection to the children early on, but she broke when Chaudry asked Pala to kill his newly born sister. The pair fought, and Pala was told to leave with their sons - leaving her daughter behind.

She joined Moonspear with the hope of finding shelter and building a new home, but Chaudry returned to cause trouble. Alaric's trust for her was broken, something Pala viewed as unjust, and she and her sons left after some time as she refused to face disrespect. They planned to return to Pala's birth home, but were separated when she left to investigate a bump in the night and found herself mauled by a bear. She was reunited with Ignace after only a few days, but they never found Ludovic. Mourning after many failed searches, but accepting that he was likely dead, Pala returned home with a single son.
