((Opalesse sar Falas is eleven years old, and was not directly involved in any battles during the war. She is, however, aware of the continuing bandit problem her country faces, and has decided to become a guard. She is a relatively serious girl, interested in all of the arts of fighting and defending, though in her free time she practices embroidering butterflies.
She is a member of the Fala-kiir, a catchall term for the Vounouti ethnic groups that live exclusively in the low mountain valleys of the country. They are the most populous groups, but also the ones that suffered the most dissolution of culture and customs under Archosi rule.
On a side note, the mantle illustrated here is based roughly off the kiymeshek, a hood and mantle combination worn by the Karakalpak, Qazaq, and others. ))
