Life according to Mars...

[Maralah]

(( For now this is a little intro into who my character is. I give a little bit of my life and what brings me to where I am right now. I will be writing more story stories in the future, I just need to delve deeper into how I want Maralah aka "Mars" to be as a person. I hope it explains a little about me and hopefully soon I will be adding some stories/journal entries in the following weeks. Hope you like it and I'd like any suggestions anyone wishes to offer me, as this is my first real RP character. Alot is made up though I took some names from other resources to get the story flowwing so to speak. Thanks for reading!! and hope ya enjoy!))

I’ve never been one to talk much. I stay to myself most times, and watch as the world flows by. Growing up was different for me. I didn’t grow up in the city. Death, sorrow, and evil were not a part of my life. I was raised for the majority of my life on a small Yup'ik reservation in Western Alaska.
I do not resemble my own people, but for what reason I don’t know. There is talk I am descendant from a strange hero who settled down among my people many years ago; but truth be told there is no proof this “hero” ever existed.
I was brought into this world like any other child, but a strange earthquake marked my birth. My own name says it all, Maralah, born during an earthquake. Soo’ya, my grandmother, was a shaman for my village. It was through her that I learned how to harness my inherent spirit healing powers and use them on others in my physical form. I was a natural at it, and have been healing others since I was old enough to wonder off on my own. My other powers, though, are a little more mysterious to me.
People have talked of my ability to control the earth since I can remember. It has always been there. My Soo’ya tells me that the earth blessed me on the day I was born. She says that our earth mother decided I was worthy enough to share in her powers and bestowed them upon me. Others of my village claim a rival to my Soo’ya cursed me, since my powers don’t always work in my favor. It is both a blessing and a curse, but something I have to live with.
Not too long though my life started to change. A strange sickness started claiming my people. No one knows how it first started spreading, but slowly it started lulling my people off to eternal slumber. When my Soo’ya died from the sickness is when my mother decided to send me away.
I was enrolled in an exchange program and swept quickly away to a city worlds away from my village. Paragon its called. I am living with a very nice “benefactor” as I’m supposed to call her. She is a shaman in her own way and has been able to help me hone my powers to help others more. I attend school at a place for “gifted”, but I know they are powerful like me in their own ways. Hopefully I will fit in more as the days go by, but until then I will stay in the shadows and watch as the world flows by…

I am pleased to meet you, Maralah, and I hope that you shall find a place here among peoples who do not resemble your own. But underneath we are all sisters, heyla? I read that in a fortune cookie somewhere but it seems sort of true.
