Khalidah of the Sands
Alignment: Power
Gerudo Tribes
TITLE/NICKNAME: N/A
RACE: Gerudo
AGE: Twenty
GENDER: Female
SEXUALITY: Asexual
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION: To be Khalidah is to be one who would weather all storms, to be an unrelenting bastion of strength and security for the people of Gerudo. To be Khalidah is to defend against those who would threaten her people or those under her charge, no matter who they be. To be Khalidah is to respect only strength, for without it there would be nothing in the world.
Khalidah was raised on two beliefs that she carries to this day. The first is that although Wisdom and Courage are admirable traits, without the Power to use them they would be useless. The second is that those who carry the marks of strength must protect those without. These two beliefs have been the guiding forces on little Khalidah’s life, and make up the ideal she wishes to emulate- To be the strongest, so as to protect all of the Gerudo. Khalidah is quite idealistic for a Gerudo, refusing actions that seem dishonorable or cowardly, dismissing them as the actions of a weakling. Khalidah values strength and honor above all else, and has very little time and patience for those that mock or disagree with her values, and even less those who turn her morals against her.She is a stalwart ally to anyone she deems worthy of her respect, loyal and true- even willing to charge into battle in your name if she must; counting you among those who she must defend.
Sadly, although Khalidah has brought herself up to be a stalwart guardian of the Gerudo, even she is not without her flaws. To those she’s protecting, she responds as if to a child, or another similar burden. She thinks little of those without her respect, and believes that she knows best in those cases, without any deviation- to disagree with her is simply to be wrong. To those she disagrees with, she is spiteful and violent, and oftentimes vocal about her displeasure; and to those who are arrogant enough to think they can order her around get the most of this- oftentimes doing the exact opposite thing that she was ordered to do with a snide or sarcastic remark back. Insulting her strength or her morals are the fastest route to her fist, as she takes it as a challenge and therefore must now prove a point to the others. The last biggest flaw of Khalidah is her lack of patience- every moment standing around is a moment one could be doing something.
LIKES:
- Repair and Reclamation - Beyond the practicality of repairing said buildings/relics for the use of the Gerudo, she legitimately enjoys rebuilding old things back into their former glory out of respect for their history.
- Strength - If this much wasn’t obvious already, she respects those with the strength to affect their surroundings, and even more so those who would use said strength to the benefit or protection of others.
- Music & the Arts - The world would be an empty place without such entertainment, and it is hard to come by in the desert. She enjoys music and things of beauty when she has the ability to, but is often quite saddened that she hasn’t the ability herself.
- Challenges - She particularly enjoys challenges, competitions, and dares- anything that she might prove or test her strength against others will always secure favors with her.
- Freedom - Khalidah believes people should be free to make their own mark on the world, not tied down by rules or laws.
DISLIKES:
- Liars, Thieves and Frauds - Those who would use deception and false promises are to be judged, and hung out to dry in the desert sun.
- Reliance - She dislikes having to rely on others, and doesn’t like anyone who rides on others achievements- she treats those who do so like the worst of trash.
- Magic - She dislikes magic, even when used by her own people. She believes that it is a sign of weakness when one uses magic, having to rely on petty tricks and lies to get by in the world.
- Weakness - Khalidah believes weakness of any sort shouldn’t tolerated by anyone that isn’t helpless or a child. As such, she treats those with it as if they are helpless or a child.
- Enemies of the Gerudo - As a protector of the Tribes, anyone that is an enemy of the Tribes is her enemy as well.
MOTIVATIONS:
- Path to Protection – She wishes to become one of the most powerful protectors of the Tribes of the Gerudo, and is willing to search the world for examples of strength and defeat them- or learn something from them.
- Path to Freedom – She believes that she is free for now, and is ready to travel the world and see all that she can before she must completely dedicate herself to her people.
- Path to Stability – She is aware of her own flaws, and wishes to rid herself of them before she can finally be ready to become a true Protector of the Gerudo.
FEARS:
- War – It is a terrible thing, and hopefully it stays away from the Gerudo.
- Failure – Her greatest fear is that her strength will not be enough to protect those she cares about.
- Death – If she dies, who will protect the others? Her greatest fear is that she will die, and because of it her people will pay the price of her mistake.
The earliest memories that she has kept would have been the stories her mother had often told her, stories of strength and power to move even the world, and to have enough power was to have the ability to do anything one could set their mind to. It was the memory of the warmth of a woman whose features she couldn’t recall, and then the feeling of fear and loneliness that came from her first days out surviving in the desert. She was raised to survive alone, and to thrive where others had perished- and survive she did, staking a claim in the minds of her people as one of the people with the potential to protect the whole of the Gerudo alone, a fact she prides herself on. She had survived long enough to be considered somewhat of a legend- if only for how she arrived to protect those in danger, and then disappear as quickly as she came.
To be strong is to be synonymous with being a protector in her eyes, and it is a belief she maintains even to this day. Khalidah would say that she did have a difficult life, but she would do it again and again if she could. After all, nothing is more rewarding than watching those you had once protected slowly, one by one, become the protectors.
APPEARANCE
HEIGHT: 5'11''
WEIGHT: 170 lbs
APPEARANCE DESCRIPTION: Khalidah considers herself to be the very picture of health, standing at a solidly built five foot eleven and weighing in at a respectable one hundred and seventy pounds. She stands tall, with the bearing of one who is satisfied with their lot in life, carrying an undertone of inner strength and energy that often feels infectious to those nearby. This same energy can be seen in the rest of her appearance, with eyes that seem to shine with amber life and hair that seems to catch on fire in the light of the desert. Her skin is darkened by the sun, a darker hue than common to most Gerudo, possibly in testament to her time uncovered in the desert.
Khalidah tends to dress similar to her Gerudo counterparts, with light, airy materials and open, breathable clothing; although more for practicality rather than show. Finally, she tends to choose colder colors, like blue, green and whites that aren’t very common to the desert, and certainly not the golds, blacks and reds mostly attributed to the colors of her race.
