Name: Sapata, translates as "Dancing Bear" in Miwok
Age: Unknown
Race: Human, Miwok Indian
Gender: Female
Height: 5'5
Companion: Asarte
RP Colour: Indian Red.
Physical Appearance & Apparel:
Sapata is a little on the short side and curvy, with wide hips and a well sized bust. She's by no means pudgy, though, with her sleek limbs, and muscles toned by a life in the forest. Her eyes are large, dark, and thick lashed, and expressive.
Magic Type: None
Skills & Abilities:
Sapata is very self sufficient when it comes to living off the land. She can make clothing or blankets from animal skins, shelter from branches and bark. She can track game for miles. There is almost nothing that she cannot make edible in some form. She produces useful baskets and cord from plant fiber, and if you have need of fire she'll start one in moments.
She also has a keen mind for remembering stories and songs.
Strengths & Weakness:
Great stamina, and survival skills.
She has a natural ability for "reading" peoples' moods, and is a good listener once you capture her ear.
She is sometimes too confidant in her own skills in the new land...
and occasionally gets in over her head.
She is reluctant to ask for help with anything, but has been forced into learning to accept it at times by coming to this strange land.
Personality:
She is completely self reliant when it comes to her physical needs, but when it comes to her emotions she looks to her compainion for comfort and support. Her upbringing itself instilled in her a deep need for companionship, and close knit relationships, but she is wary of those she does no know.
New situations either bring out the best in her, or send her running... seemingly with no predictable pattern.
She can be impulsive, acting on her feelings rather than what is actually going on around her.
Relationships:
Companion to Asarte.

Back Story:
Throughout her entire life, Sapata had never been truly alone.
Her tribe was close knit, and protective of its' members. Families lived in tiny domed huts, married children and their offspring living with the parents.
No one left the village without someone else... it was a type of insurance against the accidents that could happen to a lone person.
So the only time she'd ever been by herself was to visit the communal latrine, and that was within sight of the community.
It'd been on one such outing in the middle of the night that she had stumbled through the door to this world... and now here she was... stranger in a strange land.
