TALENTS (MAGIC): Sending and she is a very powerful Treeshaper; She considers this a cosmic joke, to have such a strong, useless power; and one way for her tribemates to get her really mad is to tease her about it

PERSONALITY: Calm & gentle; competent; can be bossy and outspoken, but in a motherly way; tough underneath, otherwise she would never have survived so long; a bit temperamental; hates humans with a passion; thoughtful & very observant, she always seems to know everyone else's business

SKILLS: Her tribal function is that of seamstress; she delights in making beautiful clothes for her Tribemates to wear

OUTLOOK ON LIFE: Life is harsh and cruel, but if you work hard and love others, you will be happy and content.

LIKES: Vindra's great joy in life is dancing; she loves to dance by herself, with her Lifemate, or with whatever Tribemates care to join in! She also enjoys riding at night, plants, the night breezes, children, pricklejuice (an alcoholic drink made from cacti), Zardesh's (attempts at) poetry¸ and watching her loved ones act just like themselves.

DISLIKES: Her treeshaping power, humans (she's lost too many loved ones to them) and traveling for long periods of time

SEES SELF AS: She doesn't think about herself in general, but she probably considers herself to be a wise, motherly sort of person, always willing to help anyone in the tribe.
