Parents/Foster Parents/Rank/Age/Location:
Father: Jigmire is 40 and a laborer at the farming cot. He is a tall man
 with a jovial laugh. Jigmire suffers from a hearing lost and it is best to 
touch him on the shoulder when you wish to speak to him. He speaks loudly and 
his laughter booms from deep in his chest.

Mother: Salmary is 35. A short, kind and gentle, woman who will be the first 
to come when help is needed by her neighbors. She is a hard worker, but 
lately has seemed to slow down. It is a noticeable worry for her daughter 
Saleta. 

Siblings/Rank/Age/Location:
Brother: Leemire is 12. An exhuberant boy who know no fear. His constant 
daring adventures are aging his parents. Short, having inherited his mothers 
genes, he feels he must prove he is a good as the taller boys at the farm and 
can do everything, even more, then these other boys can do.

Children/Rank/Age/Location: none

Detailed Description: 
 
 Physical- Saleta is five feet and two inches tall. She has brown hair that
 hangs to her waist in a braid. Her eyes are hazel, appearing more green than 
brown or blue, but changing fractionally with her mood and clothing. Slightly 
robust, Saleta is not the typical slender pretty girl. However, she does not 
sit around mopping over her looks but is out-going, always smiling and 
laughing. It is easy to see that she takes after her father's laughing 
nature. Still there is a seriousness to her that reflects her mother's caring 
nature. She tends to wear loose blouses made from the flour sacks her mother 
collects. Her trousers are hand-me-downs of her father's, cut off to fit her 
shorter form. She has a slight limp from a poorly healed broken leg when she 
was a toddler and was run over by the runner pulled plow before her father 
could stop the beast. This limp only appears during times of stress or 
emotional upset. There is a long scar across Saleta's left side of her upper 
body which runs from her shoulder up her neck to her chin then across her left 
cheek to the hairline. 

 Emotional- Perhaps too caring Saleta often suffers pains of concern for 
things she has no control over and for which nobody else seems to care. This 
will produce stress which is not noticed by others as she laughs and buzzes 
around covering up her own feelings. There is a danger that she will one day 
explode in anger unless someone or something gives her a release from the 
constant worry. Should she explode the question is will she ever go back to 
the caring person she had been before? The strange thing is that laughter 
produces some release. But who will give her the gift of laughter as she 
gives to others?

Brief History: Saleta grew up at the farming cot where her father worked. 
Too poor to be fostered out she has lived her entire life on the farm with 
only visits to market when goods were delivered. At three turns Saleta 
trailed after her father while he drove a pair of runners pulling a large 
multi-blade plow turning the soil in one of the farm's field. At that time 
she was a quick and very active child. Laughing with her father, darting 
around his legs as he plopped along behind the team and plow, she was the 
typical carefree child. Then squealing with delight the small girl dashed 
toward the front of the team of runners. Daringly she tried to run under the 
runner's bellies to the other side. Saleta never made it. Hunk, the large 
black gelding on the far side stepped on Saleta's leg shattering the bone and 
before Jigmire could react Saleta was kicked back under the team to be 
trompled again. Even as Jigmire hauled back on the reins to stop the team of 
runner the first two blades of the large plow the runners dragged through the 
soil ran over Saleta's tiny form. One blade slicing her up her arm and across 
her shoulder to the hairline of her sweet child's face, while the other blade 
skimmed across her tiny belly brusing and barely cutting the flesh of the 
tender belly area. Recovery for Saleta's leg was long and torturous despite 
the fact that she was so young or perhaps because she was so young. Watching 
other children play while she herself had to sit on the sidelines instilled in 
Saleta a desire to never be left out again. Feeling the loneliness her 
imposed recovery caused her to never want others to be made to feel that way.

Held back by the limp she had after the accident Saleta was seldom included in 
the more strenuous activities others took part in. While her younger brother 
was dragging sacks of seed and stacking cords of wood Saleta was told to hang 
laundry or, at the most, allowed to plant seed once a field was completely 
ready for sowing. This made the little fireball of a girl determined to do 
everything. So while her little brother was being a reckless daring youth, 
Saleta was honing all every skill she could in secret. She ran and jumped, 
climbed and tumbled, hauled and lifted. Still her family failed to see the 
girl's development. 
At 17 turns Saleta fell in love with a tall handsome apprentice harper who was 
passing through and had stopped to entertain the farm's peoples. The Harper 
stayed for several days and in that time charmed Saleta. On the Harper's last 
night Saleta came to him and asked if she could go with him on his travels. 
Taken back by the girl's forwardness, the young Harper was cruel telling 
Saleta he could never travel with a crippled fat girl. Shattered Saleta kept 
her heart to herself after that, laughing with the boys but never allowing 
anyone to touch her heart.
 
Abilities/Strengths/Weaknesses: Persistent. When others decide to quit 
Saleta will kept going, even if it means doing whatever needs to be done 
alone. Stubborn, although it isn't always apparent to others, as she will 
seem agreeable, then would go on and do what she thought best anyway.
