[&]History: Jezra was born, her name a mix of her parents' names, during the harvest. She had no cares or worries until while camping during the tribe's migration between homes, a Spiritmaker spider was crawling along a fallen tree stump where they were making camp. Jezra, ever inquisitive began to approach it when Reza saw what she was going for and reached to pull the wayward child away, but the spider leaped and landed on her hand, biting. Ever since, Jezra hates spiders. All of them. She's no longer unable to differentiate what each spider is, but she still avoids them. This also has led to a fear of the dark as spiders like dark places to hide.  Her father did well at keeping her occupied and trying to teach her how to herd the goats and milk the goats but she was never interested. It was only two years ago that he went for a short ride on one of the ponies, more to clear his mind. When the pony returned without him, the alarm was raised and others went to search. By nightfall, they had found his body, neck broken obviously by a fall. Jezra has since been sleeping wherever there is extra space.
In more recent years, she's become more exploratory and tends to wander from the tribe. She's never out of sending distance and she always makes sure to let Talon or Redsand know where she's going, just in case. She's trying to learn new tings and is intent on becoming a productive part of the tribe, especially since she had felt like a burden for much of her childhood.
She even ran away briefly until it got dark and she got scared. When Talon and Redsand found her, she realized that it wasn't that she was a burden, it was simply that no one was prepared for taking care of a child and so the tribe just decided to take care of her as a whole. 
She's also taken it upon herself to mend tears in tents as she finds them, as she's noticed many just ignore them and there isn't a designated tent-maker. She's slowly improved her stitchwork and wants to make new tents for the tribe, starting on one for the survivors of Araf's tribe as they didn't have enough. 


[&]Often seen wearing: A purple sleeveless shirt and a matching shorts/skirt (Skort if you've ever heard of them). 
[&]Body: Dark skin with few blemishes, a slight hint of freckling around her nose, but it's only visible up close in the sunlight. 
[&]Height/Build: Jezra has a small frame and build which makes her appear a bit younger than she actually is. Shorter than average by only a few inches. She seems to be developing in a petite fashion.
[&]Hair: Long and Black, curly. She lets it hang freely, occasionally pulling it back into a leather tie.
[&]Eyes: She has two-tone eyes, just like her mother did. Her left eye is green and her right eye is a dark blue color.

[&]Bonded animal: Her "Bond" is "Ryali, the goat. 
[&]Bond age (max is late 20s for wolves): Ryali passed away at 12 years of age. She hasn't "bonded" since.
