[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 6260829, member: 4936"] Okay, now I have several different ideas...hee hee...so to help me pick one, I want to get some reactions from y'all. Don't worry, this isn't a case of me letting other people decide for me. It'll be my choice in the end. I just want more data to factor into my decision; some outside perspectives. I especially would like to hear from our player who is contemplating a Witch, as I want to make sure our backgrounds and abilities are distinct and don't take away from each other's thunder. :) We have: [B]Niraya the Lost[/B] - A figure of some superstition to the tribe, she was found during the migration between shelters last season; alone and afraid and desperate for help.
