| Name: Miakoda Nakai / Willow She Branch: New York - ECC Age: 29 Sex: Female Birthdate: November 16th, 2006 Birthplace: Kayenta, Navajo Nation (Arizona) Height: 5'11" Body type: tall, willowy (which makes her look taller) but strong Skin tone: dark tan Eye color: dark brown Hair color: black Nationality/Ethnicity: Navajo (or Dine'e, which means "The People"), Bit'ahnii (Folded Arms) Clan; Iich'ah Dine'e (Moth People) Physical Markings: left ear cartalige is pierced; also a large moth tattoo on her back Special Power(s): Psychic, also uses Navajo magiks and summons Special Equipment: leather bag with sacred herbs, which she wears around her neck Rank: Lieutenant Previous Experience/Job: political activist Languages Spoken: English, Navajo ~~~ Father: Nascha She of Bit'ahnii clan Mother: Niyol Nakai of the Iich'ah Dine'e Other familial tidbits: Miakoda's mother is from the Iich'ah Dine'e, or Moth People, an extinct clan. Niyol, and now Miakoda are the last of their kind. Miakoda officially belongs to her father's clan, the Bit'ahnii, but bears her mother's last name. Because a lot of the non-Navajo people that Miakoda has had to deal with in her work as an activist, she usually goes by the "Americanized" name Willow She (pronounced with the e as in 'egg'). 'Willow' from the meaning of her mother's first name, and 'She,' her father's last name. Miakoda's mother died when she was only a few years old, and her father raised her. Her father runs Anasazi Hotel in Kayenta. She is an only child. Likes: Heritage, learning, the country, all-natual products, The X-Files (her guilty pleasure) Dislikes: ignorant people, big cities, synthetic fabrics, processed food Clothing Choices: most of the time, jeans and a long-sleeved shirt. Often, traditional garb. Accessories: left ear cartalige is pierced, and has a very small silver cylinder in it ~~~ Catch Phrases: Ya'at'teeh! (Greetings!) Personality Quirks: Miakoda is usually soft-spoken, but firey. She has incredible strength of will. In bad times, she is often the one that holds the group together, and the others will often go to her for guidance. She is a very spiritual person, blending her Native American beliefs in spirits and majicks with her belief in God and Christ. She is not a member of any specific "church", however, claiming that denominations are only a white man's way of keeping people out. She is independent to a fault, very distrustful of the US government (even though she technically now works for them) and despises people that think Native Americans are all the same race of "Indians." On the lighter side, she loves The X-Files, something she inherited from her father. She is generous, and very willing to share her spirituality, and to help people de-stress and find their "quiet soul." |
