+
+## Description
+
+Femme nonbinary draco-cetacean with white hair to xer mid back. Witchy vibes.
+
+**Personality**
+
+Very chill, supportive, friendly, slightly secretive.
+
+**Pronouns**
+
+Xe/xer
+
+**Background**
+
+Kala grew up near Kanar. Not much is known about xer background but from what
+people can gather xe had a troubled background. Xe managed to avoid military
+service for Usill by fleeing into Zhalram and ended up as the groundskeeper for
+the bladecraft academy. Think Boothby if Boothby was a spellcasting stoner. A
+half-breed between dragons and cetaceans, segregated for that; especially among
+the sharks and cats of Zhalram.
+
+Very skilled in water magic, which translates into plants and healing perfectly.
+
+**Inner Conflicts**
+
+Trauma from the past making it difficult for xer to open up to others.
+
+**External Conflicts**
+
+Xe is a refugee from the Zhalram-Usill territory control battles. This causes
+some level of social tension. Others of xer kind accuse xer of being a traitor.
+Xe has managed to keep things relatively quiet about xer healing magic to avoid
+being drafted into the front lines.
+
+## Notes
+
+- Other people always use xe/xer pronouns when talking about xer, but are unsure
+  how they knew to do that. Imply that it's some magical effect without going
+  into details.
+- Xer name is toki pona for "fish".
+- Xe is on the elderly side.
