Caila Herriot District 2

Caila is very skinny. Her face is ruddy and muddy. Her skin is fair. She has dark brown hair, like her brother. Her skin burns in the sun, so she constantly has to apply sunscreen. She normally wears a tank top, with a red and green jacket over it, a red and green headband, comfortable, skinny jeans. She likes to go barefoot.

Caila was born with a rare, bad case of athsma, just like her brother. She was never beaten, because she was considered to frail to survive anything. She has small hands, very delicate hands. Her feet are small and delicate as well. They are a little scarred from going barefoot, but they are still soft on the top. She is very frail, and sickly.

Caila trusts no one. She has learned from her brother to hide her feelings, to not speak unless you are saying "yes sir" or "yes ma'am." They learned to speak only when spoken to. Caila lived in fear. She was quiet and sad. An outcast. No one loved her. No one but her brother. Her brother is the only person that she trusts.

She loves the animals, and she loves Griffin's stories, and she loves to here Griffin whistle. She is cheery and happy when her brother is around. She tells him jokes and tells him about what happened in the day. She tells him what animals were around and where, so that way he can visit them and tame them through his melodious whistle tunes.

She loves to sing, and dance. She is very compassionate and friendly to everyone she meets, because she's not as shy as her brother. She often gets her brother angry at her for showing her feelings. She just forgets to keep her stoic mask at times. She forgets her troubles and worries and goes to play with teens of her own age.

Caila was born as Griffin's twin. At the age of ten, she was sent to weaving and basket making and feeding the sheep. She loved the sheep, loved to feed them and care for them. She had her own lamb named Spot. Her father gave Spot to her because he was spotted, and he knew that no one would buy a spotted lamb. It was considered a bad omen. She loves Spot with all her heart.

Caila suffered as more work and more work was piled onto her already large list of daily chores. Each morning she would suffer an athsma attack, then she would be scolded and given medicine, then shoved out the door to make baskets, sew clothes, feed the sheep, and when she was finished, she spent the night watching over the sheep.

One day, her brother pulled her aside and told her about a workshop he had made, and about some material he had found to make weapons. He said that they could make an escape with weapons. They could leave the wretched place known as home. Caila agreed to go with him when it was time to leave. She couldn't wait until the weapons were made.

Days later, he handed her a bow, fashioned out of steel, with feather arrows. Griffin taught her how to use it skillfully, and she grew to love archery. Then her father found out about Griffin's workshop, and they were sent away.
