Ala's Past is one that always bothered her. As an infant she was abandoned by her mother and placed in the care of human parents. Now for most people this may be fine but for Ala it wasn't for the reason that when each family found out she had abilities that were not human she was ejected from the home and wound up placed with a new family. After a time Ala began to hide her abilities as well as keep her hair long as to hide the gem firmly imbedded in her forehead. Ala knew nothing about why she had the powers and abilities she had nor did she have the full ability to control them, only 2 of her abilities manifested themselves these being her ability to heal and to float/disappear.
Ala first came to Telrunya Isle in Gaia in the beginning of October 2004, she became the caretaker of a Pae'il named Estralita. She began to spend large amounts of time on the isle though she still hid her abilities for fear of rejection. Through her Pae'il she met a young man around her age whom she came to be close friends with over time. She harbored feelings for him but expressed them only in the form of friendship as he already had a mate. It was to this young man she first revealed her powers, when he had been badly hurt, to her surprise though he did not reject her for who she was, though at the same time she learned of the different powers and abilities he had. Over time her friendship with him grew and she came to call him her brother for as far as she knew she had no siblings. Soon Ala left the isle, Estra had married and begun to have her own family and Ala felt it time to move on to try new things though she never broke contact with Estra. Ala took over a shop in the ancient world of the Balan Levain and was thrilled when Torvil said he would join her and help. Here in the shop is where Ala learned of Torvil's skills with remedies and potions. As well it was here where Ala learned of her race and met her twin sister Kalyai who has been wonderfully forthcoming with information when she needed it. It was also here that Ala learned that her mother by birth had become a Lich and that she had in her possession her mother's Plantar which Ala gave to Torvil in a locked box to put in a safe place.
It was one of these remedies that Ala found herself under it's effects when he gave it to her to help her regain her strength when their two Alpha Balan got injured in a fight against the Shadow creatures that bordered their land. Under this remedy she found herself unable to tell anything but the truth, which of course brought out some of her deeper secrets including her attraction to him. To her surprise the attraction and love felt was mutual, as well to her surprise she learned that his previous relationship had dissolved. After a long talk and a walk Ala and Torvil wound up in the forests away from the shop. Here she learned of the quickness of his race's pregnancies as he warned her of what might happen if their relationship deepened. Ala accepted that risk and to her surprise woke the next morning expecting. She hadn't been how sure her race's ability to mate was or what might happen in a mating between their races but she very quickly learned he told no lie about the speed of the pregnancy and that night she birthed two children, a daughter whom they named Selene and a son Torvin, whom they named after Torvil's first daughter. Both children were both with nubs of horns and a blue gem firmly imbedded in their foreheads as well as dark hair and pointy ears like their mother but sharp pointy teeth and the growth rate of their father. Soon Ala found herself not only being called mommy by the two rapidly growing children she birthed but also being called Mom by Torvil's first child, which to her was perfectly fine. Her twin sister Kalyai provided some information about the Kerrsal's fertility and the chances of pregnancy which came to be very good information.
Torvil and Ala have wed, they used a nearly 100% Kerrsal traditional wedding. 3 items are mandatory in a Kerrsal wedding first is the ceremonial goblet, an intricately decorated goblet made of silver, in the wedding both of the bride and groom unite their waters in it and partake of it, It's a unity that bonds the two together in a bond for life. And the others are 2 silver headpieces very Elven in appearance. These are worn by the bride and groom the never ending pattern symbolizes never ending love. The two have to write their own vows to each other, the ceremony itself is witnessed by a member of each of our families and would normally take place in the presence of a wisened one but for Torvil and Ala will be done in the presence of the one Elders of Torvil's people whom he trusts as Ala does not know any of her own people besides Kalyai. The items given to them by Kalyai were made especially for Torvil and Ala by a Kerrsal silver-smith who not only certified by the Wisen council as the one who makes them but has been studying the craft for many many years. No two sets are ever the same. Ala and Torvil's wedding was witnessed by Kalyai, & Torvina as well as it was presided over by Elder Rhazar of Torvil's people. The uniting of the waters consisted of Ala's water and Torvil's blood. The uniting and partaking of the 'waters' caused an unexpected result for Ala as her body absorbed his blood. Later the night of their union Ala's skin around her lower back split grew a long thin black dragons tail. The tail grew to be longer then her own legs, her healing powers causing it's growth to feel no more then a sharp pinch and then later a dull throb as her skin healed around and to it's base. She is becoming more like her husband every day including the growth of small horns and large Dragon's wings which she most often keeps in her back. Ala has gotten to the point where she is no longer pure Kerrsalian and in fact is more Vampiric Dragon then she is Kerrsalian.
Most Kerrsal's do not marry other races or species, Ala in fact is the first, so not much is known about what would come from a marriage between species except what has already happened to Ala. In Ala's case it's shown that the Kerrsal will take on some of the physical features of her partner, Ala has already taken on the features of a dragon's tail, dragon's horns and most recently wings like her husband's, which in turn caused another effect, Ala lost her ability to float. Time and stress do wonders on Ala, she woke one morning only to find that her hair changed, no longer straight and dark it was sleek and greyish white.
As time moves on Ala finds herself desiring another child but she proves to be infertile when they try, she managed to get an appointment with the GMFC and with their help, she conceived again. However what to expect with this time she does not know as it has already proven to be a much different pregnancy then her first. Definitely different is her opinion as the pregnancy lasted several weeks and several hours of labor. She wound up with one handsome little boy though
Time has passed for Alatariel, and in the time since Surion was born Ala has taken part in a hunt, her totem is the dragon, and has become an official member of the hunters at the cliffs. She holds the same responsibilities as Surion and orvil to protect the cliffs if there is an attack. She has also become a healer and taught some of the healers how to control the healing ability. She is very proud of her son, has accomplished so much in her eyes.
The biggest change in Ala's life since her son was born was her return to the Kerrsalian City where she got a new beginning, a new 'life' and a new name. Now going by the name of Shicala and returning to her original hair color she has oved forward in her life hoping to leave her painful past behind her.
Shicala was pulled into the world of Faerun with Surion. Her memory loss is more severe then his, and she unlike him does not feel the desire to relearn her past. She does not feel a pull back into the world of Gaia as her son does.
