»»soul: Striped Hyena named Sunil
»»magic: Runic Magic, Tattooer, Healing Rune
the appearance,
»»eyes: Light brown
»»markings: Runic Tattoo that stretches from her arms and across chest. Minor scars from fighting but those are typically covered up by clothing despite a fairly deep one on her shoulder.
»»height: 5'11
»»weight: Approx. 160 lbs
»»general appearance:
Isra is a fairly intimidating woman, she is tall and broad shouldered and carries herself proudly. She tries to take up space when she can, part of this being because she is a fighter. It would do her no good to huddle and be weak so she instead does what she can to make herself even taller.
Isra has very long, straight black hair that she typically keeps in a tight pony tail though she will also wrap it in a tight braid bun when she knows she is about to go into a fight. She rarely lets it hang freely due to that being impractical and personal dislike of her flat hairstyle.
Her short bangs frame a stern looking face with even sterner, sharp brown eyes. Her olive toned skin would be unmarked if not for the complicated, runic tattoo for healing across her arms and chest.
Her typical idea of fashion changes with what she is doing. While on the job she wears any form of sturdy cloth, nothing that could be torn easy. Specifically she prefers to wear shirts or overcoats that show her arms for the purpose of her runes and while it keeps her from extra protection it does allow her to move freely. Otherwise she usually wears black pants and shoes, darker colors being less prone to stains. She happens to carry around a crossbow, it being her preferred form of weapon and she keeps her Tule hooked into a belt on her waist.
While between jobs Isra likes to dress surprisingly elegantly, while still sticking to pants instead of skirts she makes sure her fancier overcoats are sleeker and more stylish than what she usually wears. Sometimes she will even find a coat to wear that isn't black favoring dark blues and greens. In warmer climates and weather she will stick to a few vests and simple shirts she owns.
»»general Soul appearance:
In most ways Sunil looks like a very lanky but otherwise normal hyena, only her tattoo match Isra's along her front legs and chest. Sunil has pale, tawny colored fur with most parts being nearly white until it meets closer to her stomach, neck and face. The pale colorings are highly contrasted amongst varying sized black stripes. While her flank the stripes seem faded they are much bolder and thicker around her legs and even become black splotches upon her neck. Her black muzzle and face bring out intelligent, bright amber eyes. Her fur itself is fairly standard except for a very thick, ruff that may look soft and fluffy but is in reality very coarse to touch.

»»general personality:
Isra is a fighter through and through, while she does not necessarily seek out brawls she enjoys the thrill of the fight and knocking out anyone who thinks attacking her is a good idea. The fact she often gets paid to smack people down makes it even more enjoyable, she highly enjoys being paid from the wealthy and she practically hoards money. She isn't fairly fond about being paid by sketchy clients, while she could care less what company she keeps in the terms of lower town people she rarely trusts to take jobs from them knowing the higher chance to get stabbed in the back.
She also does not want to run the risk of not being paid and is more than willing to react violently if she does not receive proper payment in a certain amount of time.
She doesn't always considers a person's feeling before she speaks and often says what is on her mind making her a pretty blunt and could even be called inconsiderate. She has a very slow temper, few things make her angry and even when they do she has a habit of brushing comments off. Instead of kicking and screaming it would be more common for her to instead incite a fight with harsh words or mockery, sometimes even she will find way to trick people who have betrayed her or even simply annoying.
A few things she can not stand are blue bloods, if a person does not work for their money and simply inherits it she will find their company to be boring and dishonest, however she is more than happy to take their money and be hired as a mercenary.
Towards acquaintances and friends she is a decently cheerful, sober of a women who likes to throw in her opinions while making jokes about them.
»»general Soul personality:
Sunil is livelier than Isra or more so acts livelier. When her Tethered remains still and passive Sunil will pace about with a tail held high and that strange hyena smile on her face. She likes to keep in constant movement, she tends to become irritable when stuck in one place too long and she has a wild temper that only Isra can keep calm.
It does not help that she can tell when Isra is irritated or upset and while the woman will often keep composure the Soul would rather fight. It is not uncommon for Sunil to spur Isra into a fight with someone else.
On the flip side Sunil knows when to behave and in the right situations can sit still and actually look quite fearsome when her fur bristles. In fact nothing makes her feel colder then being called a dog, she does not forgive easily for a mistake like that and anyone stupid enough to call her such will be subjected to glares and possibly secret bites.
Sunil does trust fairly easily, she doesn't think much about someone betraying them or being hurt by acquaintances and often she lets her guard down easily. Still, she views friendship as something valuable to have and will fight to the teeth for those she likes.

»»background:
Isra Dayal was born to a pair of farmers, Hakim and Veda in the Kingdom of Tentran. The Dayal farmhouse had been passed down for many generations despite the grueling, labor intensive work. Work was made easier by the powers of Runes which was a power passed down on both sides of the family. However, this didn't help with all the back breaking work or make the heavier machines safer. Farms still needed many hands to prosper and as the only child at the time Isra grew up knowing nothing but work. As years passed her mother had another daughter and then a couple years later, a son. At this time she was going back and forth from working at home and school, though when her siblings started to get older she switched from farm work to helping her mother with her side job as an herbalist.
She was taught how to use runic magic to create potions along with various types to help keep the farm work up for nearly eight years this was the extent of her magical education.
It was also during the time of her youth that she began taking up archery using an old bow from her father which was worn and slow. It was mainly used to scare of potential intruders and hunt small game, neither of which Isra enjoyed. She constantly wished for something more powerful and faster.
However when she became 17 she left her home with that old bow and Sunil as her only companion. She spent many of those early months selling potions and offering services as an extra protector to travelers and traders. She did not make much money but enough to get by.
Eventually, after a year or so traveling Tentran she found her way into the Kingdom of Perran, a place that seemed much different than her home but she also thought it held more possibilities. She was in a city trying to sell her wares. In a course of a short time she had been yelled at, chased off and nearly arrested by guards for selling unlicensed wares and of course rather than being jailed in a strange area she ran.
It was a stroke of luck she was chased off though, while she found herself in the dirty back areas of the city she also happened to run into someone who would end up becoming one of her best friends.
She smacked right into him actually, Gerbem was a big, stocky bear of a man who ironically had a bear as his Soul. Being much taller than him Isra hadn't been too intimidated by the angry man and instead found herself very curious. He went shirtless to show a variety of tattoos he had, all of which were simple normal ones except she noticed one in the middle of his chest had a particular glow and strangeness to it.
"Is that a rune? How do you do that?" She had asked him that day, she had heard a bit from others about Runic Tattooers, most of them being snides and stereotypes and the mental instability of those who would inflict themselves with such a thing.
Isra barely thought twice about the dangers of making conversation in a back alley with a man with a magic tattoo and the body of a train engine.
She truly was lucky that day for Gerbem set out to teach her more complicated runes and eventually how to place a runic tattoo. He even became a teacher for less civilized things like drinking and bar fights which happened to be much less painful than inscribing runes onto skin. She was able to make significant more money too knowing more powerful runes and it was money that she began to hoard. Despite paying a housing fee to Gerbem she often had enough money to browse the markets to buy luxuries for herself. One day she even tossed out her old family bow for a much stronger crossbow and bolts.
She had spent nearly half a decade learning from Gerbem, taking odd jobs around the city and learning how to fight. She has since left the hospitality of her teacher to take to the road again and travel once more. She has already spent a good couple years as a freelance mercenary and enjoys the freedom it comes with.
