Description: The dark-skinned woman stands 6'5" and is bundled in multiple layers and is prepared for a desert trek wearing a turban that covers her face most of the time. She wears a colorful flower in her golden hair. She was beautiful and young once, which still shows through her age, but it is a faded beauty.

Personality: She considers herself a woman of culture and sophistication. She likes a good challenge to her wits. Her respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to her, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, she tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in her reactions to snap at those who irritate her, Arha is combative with any and all who dare try her patience in the slightest.

History: She was born to a pair of big game hunters, but was frequently ill as a child. When she came of age, she joined a caravan that would eventually take her to the capital. She would practice along the way and, when she arrived, be apprenticed to a Tanner. She has gone from town to town till she finds a spot where she can set up a sustainable business.
