Personality: Open and friendly, though obviously a bit strange, to have spent several years now working in Rata Sum and Metrica. Straightforward about many things, enjoys a good laugh and friends, though she can work well on her own too.
Background: Halla grew up as an older child of a large extended family, helping to raise and care for several younger brothers, sisters and cousins. Her family was generally close and happy, living in the northern regions, but when she was a teenager a svanir and icebrood attack on the settlement she lived in, after a protracted battle, left many dead, including the majority of her family. While a few relatives remained elsewhere who took the surviving younger children in, Halla declined to go with and instead spent a few years wandering on her own in the Shiverpeaks around Hoelbrak, learning to survive with the help of others she encountered before setting off to leave the place.
As a young adult, upon leaving Hoelbrak for other areas to try and find something that drew her, she happened across an Asura named Kwinn who was looking for a lab assistant, and seemed insistent on hiring non-Asuran help. She was skeptical at first, but he offered generous pay and on the job training, plus said he'd also want her to gather things for him and she'd be paid well for that too. Getting to explore and be paid for it appealed to her, so she took the offer.
She found that while he was very odd and quirky, Kwinn seemed to be genuinely nice and curious, and enjoyed explaining things around the lab. He also was very generous, offering her lodging in the lab and even tossing extra pay at her as a budget to make her lodgings comfortable for her (her choice of bedding, storage, shelves, decorations, etc for that area.)
She also found that Kwinn has an absolute fascination with every race that wasn't asuran, and spent huge amounts of his time observing and studying them (herself included...she was a bit disturbed the first time she noticed he was just sitting and watching her as she wandered around the lab, but quickly got used to it as he explained he was trying to determine the subtle movement differences between norn locomotion and humans, or other races. Kwinn also eventually found and hired a charr female, Xena to do work for him as well.
Halla did run into a difficulty with his curiosity. Finding out that she could take on animal forms, Kwinn started regularly asking her to do so, requesting different ones, standing right up next to her with his face almost pressed against her to try to watch it close up, trotting around and examining her, pulling out instruments to take readings. He asked if he could try one of his newest inventions, which he thought might isolate and record the magical skill used to perform such transformations so that he could study it more.
Not thinking anything of it, Halla agreed, and turned to her Raven form. He pressed the buttons excitedly and she felt something from the device encompass her. Kwinn started looking at his device in confusion and Halla decided it would be best to shift back. When she did so though...she felt an unusual pull on her back. Black wings, like a raven's, seemed to have shown up attached there. Kwinn looked up and made a startled noise, his expression between chagrin and excitement. Though changing again so soon was exhausting Halla pushed herself into Raven form again. Looking over the form, she seemed normal, but changing back, the wings were still there.
Kwinn ran over to examine them, both apologetic and gleeful as he looked at how they seemed to be attached as if part of her normal body, bones, skin and all. She had minimal ability to move them, but could feel when they were touched or brushed against things. After recovering a bit she tried some of her other forms, all normal, but always still had the wings as she returned to her normal form. He DID pay her a rather large bonus and offered to try the machine again to see if he could reverse the effect...but she decided that until she saw it work on others she would be safest not letting him use that on her again for now.
Current Activities: Hunting, lab work, helping with cubs.
Whereabouts/Residence: Kwinn's lab just outside Rata Sum.
