“The American Indian is of the soil, whether it be the region of forests, plains, pueblos, or mesas.

Cheyenne : She was born and raised on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation in southeast Montana. She grew up outside of the main town of Lame Deer. Like many Rez's, there were issues with crime, poverty and addiction. It was a rough life for a kid, but she got through it.
Pumonca : Her family has had Pumonca blood since before the white men came to this land. She was raised by Kin, though she had to learn much of what it means to be a Mountain Lion through the spirits and her own learning, as Pumonca are rare enough to rarely ever meet. Her family had retained a lot of lore, however, making sure to teach her well.
Park Ranger : Alaqua works as a Park Ranger in Idyllwild, near Prospect. It allows her to work with nature, and also gives her the isolation she sometimes needs. However, she also has a small place in town, and when she isn't on-duty she stays there to socialize and relax.
