Yala is tall, and solid build for a young woman, and she carries herself with a smug prode. She's outgoing, and vocal, but good natured and quick to a laugh. She has dark skin, with bright pale blue hair and matching eyes. Her hair is waist length, but usually pulled up tight to her head in a bun with braid accents. She has both ears pierced, usually with small silver hoops. She likes to wear light blue eyeshadow, and paint her nails white with light blue tips

Under that, she wears silver/grey mid calf pants. they have matching buttons on the side seams as the robe, and have 6 inches of light blue lace on the bottoms.

==Personality==

Soyala always (thinks she) knows best, but enjoys watching people squirm and make fools of themselves. She'll speak up on behalf of her team of course, but doesn't enjoy the spotlight (although, she has been known to play devil's advocate if she's feeling up to it). She'd call herself a chaotic neutral, but her team will say she's an unlawful good. She does enjoy learning, and a good book, and privately wants to be a writer. She wears heavy clothes, because she grew up in a cold environment, and even when it's warm, she feels naked without the weight.

Soyala grew up in a village of warriors, and loves a good fight. She doesn't mean anything ill by it, but honestly believes that sometimes the best way to solve something is a sparring match.

==Weapons and Abilities==

Soyala's semblance is Spying Foxes - she can create phantom white foxes that act mostly on their own with suggestions from her on what she wants - but she can see what they see. Grimm don't notice them, and in the winter landscape of her home, they are invisible on the snowy landscape to human/faunus eyes. At the point of her last year at beacon, she can use three at any given time - and uses them to not only spy, but to signal long distances to her teammates. She can create more, but it's too hard to separate out the incoming information. As of this point, she cannot still fight with more than one out, as it takes to much concentration to filter out info

Her weapon is a one handed Aztec macuahuitl club and circle shield. The blades are obsidian and the shield uses dust. There is no metal in either one of her weapons, and she wanted to spar with Pyrrha Nikos because of this (she was sure Nikos has something to do with metal after rumours from the food fight, and wanted to test this theory). She never had an opportunity. It has no name atm

Soyala is not defenseless without her weaponry, and enjoys hand to hand combat. She's a big fan of bare knuckle boxing, and has some pretty fancy feet work.

==Backstory==

The Naakishchíín family are from a yet unnamed snowy cliffside village over a fjord harbor that thrived as a trading post. The village was literally build into the side of high fjord cliffs to stay safe from pirates, bandits and grimm. Father Naakishchíín was a tailor and Mother Naakishchíín ran deliveries around town. Soyala was the oldest of three girls, and went off to be a huntress after watching a battle in the bay between a Huntsman and a SeaGrimm. Her father is worried about her leaving, but knows she's meant for more than this cold snowing town.

Her symbol is a type of water glyph that is a symbol of her town

She went to a yet unnamed primary combat school, before graduating and being accepted to Beacon.

During the emerald Forest - she found Ginger THomas first - because her spying fox could smell the sheep on them. Thomas was embarrassed by that, but Yala reasued them that she found it cute; she liked sheep.

Trivia
SOYALA: Native American Hopi name meaning "time of the winter solstice."

naakishchíín is navajo for twin. her partner for the first part of team selection is ginger thomas, whom originally was be a red fox faunus. thomas also means twin

If hockey existed in the world of remnant - that would be Soyala's passion. Her village is based off the idea of a Mesa Verde like city but over a fjord instead of a canyon floor
