Re: Nala District 9 Done

Nala is a small girl, only maybe 5'4" tall at most when she's standing tall and proud which she rarely ever does. Hanging down her back is a waterfall of straw blond hair that goes just past her shoulders and looks like the wheat that grows in the fields where she lives. Her hair is thin and often curls into neat little ringlettes when she's too lazy to do anything else with them. If she really feels like looking nice then she might brush it out nicely or something.

Hidden behind the waterfall of straw colored hair is a pair of large, innocent hazel eyes that stare out at the world with a mixture of fear and hurt from all that she's been through. Around her eyes are the beginnings of lines from all the times she's cried for the loss of her parents. Her nose is small and delicate, placed between her eyes dead center.

Nala's cheeks are small and tend to dimple when she smiles although, lately she hasn't done much of that because she's been too overwhelmed by grief. Her mouth is small and is a few shades darker than the rest of her skin which is slightly tanned. The skin on her face is relatively smooth compared to some of the other members of the pride but she likes it that way,

Nala is tiny, only maybe 5'4" tall at most and she doesn't weigh that much only about 100lbs maybe. She's easily liftable especially by her friends who seem to like lifting her a lot. Her feet are tiny but very sure on almost any terrain.

One thing she hates about herself is her lack of physical strength. She's very weak and unable to lift heavy things. This drives her crazy because she wants to be strong too.

When it comes to clothes, Nala prefers skorts that allow her to move around easily and so that she doesn't flash anyone when one of her friends decide to pick her up. She'd turn beat red if that happened.

Nala likes Simba, a fellow pride member but she'd never be brave enough to admit it. She's super shy and will blush if people talk to her, especially if boys talk to her. Although once you actually get to know Nala, you find that she's a sweetheart. She hates seeing others in pain and will do anything to stop suffering.

One of Nala's most favorite things in the world is to lie in the meadow on clear nights and watch the stars in the sky. She believes that her parents are up there somewhere watching over her as they did when they were alive. Often, it is on these nights that she will cry for her parents because she misses them terribly and who could blame her? Its hard losing your parents at such a young age. She never cries in front of anyone in the pride though, she'd be seen as weak and would be easy pickings for them.

When it comes to fears, Nala has quite a few of them. She's terribly afraid of heights, after having fallen when she was little. She's also afraid of people in general, its more than likely because she's so small and a lot of people are bigger than her. Her other biggest fear is of bugs. She doesn't like bugs at all and many nights, has nightmares that they are crawling all over her body. This makes her wake up screaming some nights.

A few things to know about Nala is that even though she's sometimes seen as weak, she has a lot of strength behind her. To still be able to function mosly normally after such a tragic loss is a very hard thing to do and Nala has been able to overcome that. Another thing to know is that she has great endurance and can run long distances to get to where she needs to go. I guess thats it about Nala personality wise

A few months ago, Nala lost her parents in a terrible accident that also took her brothers life. For a few weeks, she was on her own until she found the pride and they welcomed her as one of their own. Her first friend in the pride was Simba who seemed to take an instant liking to her but she was hurting too much to return those feelings. As time went by, she found that being with Simba actually helped her to cope with the pain of losing her parents. They've been virtually inseperable since then.

Nala's parents, before they died, were good people. They helped the less fortunate members of the district because they always had a bit of money to spare. They loved Nala and her younger brother Luke, giving them whatever they needed. They were very family oriented and, whenever they weren't working, would spend time with the family. Now that they're gone, Nala keeps her mothers favorite necklace around her neck to remind her of them. It contains a picture of all of them together but Nala rarely opens it, the memories are too painful.

Nala's life used to be good but since coming to the Pride, she's been picked on because she's so small and Simba has tried to protect her. She's withdrawn a lot and lost a lot of her friends because of it. She feels kind of alone in the world even though she has Simba, she wants another friend. She wants someone else she can trust with her secrets. Perhaps if someone else would just try to get to know her, they'd like the girl she is instead of just seeing the quiet girl she shows. Simba's tried to help but she won't let anyone else in. Anyways, thats about all there is about Nala.
