<div class="floatleft">(http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/060/5/8/into_the_wild_by_lollyodiamond-d4rcg0u.jpg)</div><strong>Character Name:</strong>Naliya<br/><br/><strong>Played by:</strong>Demik<br/><br/><strong>Age:</strong>18<br/><br/><strong>Position in lodge:</strong>The animal keeper, tamer, and trainer. If anyone else has pets she is the one they turn to if they have a problem.<br/><br/><strong>Hearth:</strong>Horse w/ older brother<br/><br/><strong>Description:</strong>Very dark brown hair falls in gentle waves down just past her mid-back. She has a slight body and only stands at 5'2" and weighs around 110 lbs. Her eyes are mesmerizing silvery-blue. Her skin is rather light, especially in winter, but it grows slightly darker being out and about during the spring and summer.<br/><br/><strong>Character Personality:</strong>Naliya is rather quiet but she is quick to smile and laugh when something amuses her. She loves her animals above all else. She discovered her special way with animals at a young age. She found she could get closer to animals than anyone else in the camp, even able to walk up to a deer and pet it without it panicking. Her first pet was a baby bunny. Unfortunately it was carried off by an eagle after a couple years. Four years ago she saved a horse foul who's mother had been killed. She is a lovely pale cream with slightly darker reddish-brown along her back. Her mane is darker while her tail is light (See picture but her coloring is a bit different, she has more light than dark). She named her Tikka. She loves riding around on her horse. Two years ago she adopted a very useful little pet - an ermine she calls Juju (see picture below for his current winter coat). He is a little bundle of trouble but he helps keep the rodent population under control. When Naliya is out gathering he often hunts, bringing back little birds and quite often rabbits and other small creatures as well. Her most recent acquisition is a wolf pup. She had caught her paw in a trap and Naliya came upon her while gathering. She had calmed the pup and set her free. It was obvious by her health that she had somehow become separated from her pack so Naliya had adopted her. Thanks to her rather young age it had been pretty easy to get her accustomed to living with people (and the crazy little ermine who enjoys teasing her). She decided to name her Runa. She is a curious little thing and loves playing with 'the other pups' as she thinks of them.<br/><br/><strong>Hobbies:</strong>Other than working with animals Naliya also enjoys creating and decorating clay things. She especially likes making bowls, painting animals along the sides. She also likes to try making clay figurines though they often don't come out quite as she plans. It is something she is working on though.<br/><br/>Her animals:<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://www.aitc.sk.ca/saskschools/animals/images/weasel1.jpg)  Juju</div><div class="floatright">Tikka  (http://t-rat.com/images/ArchaeologyContinue/hORSE_pLEISTOCENE_GLACIER.jpg)</div><div align="center">(http://www.robertwinslowphoto.com/Animals/Baby-Animals/Animal-Babies-North-and-South/i-w8nq3tS/0/L/A-522-A5-12W8C-L.jpg)</div><div align="center">Runa</div>
