No'Vila is a small Swakami with sleek purple skin, cyan markings, amethyst eyes, expressive cheek fins, and a long black mane decorated with permanent braids. Her ten translucent wings carry her through Chi'Thi, while her shifting skin patterns readily betray her feelings.
Before the hostile brood’s attack, No'Vila asks the party to help keep Shee’La safe; her eventual sacrifice is a fixed part of the tragedy that follows.
She is devoted to Shee’La: she wants to teach her the ways of Ka’thil, share its wonders, and keep her safe despite her own constant worry.
No'Vila avoids needless combat, using flight and agile glides to draw danger away from Shee’La or help an ally escape. If Shee’La is threatened, she interposes herself and fights fiercely with her bite.
GM Notes
- Set her scenes before her canonical sacrifice.
- She first welcomes Shee’La from her damaged Ma’Lifa pod and vows, “I will teach her. I will protect her.”
- She loves teasing Shee’La with squeaks, silly faces, and playful tugs at her hair.
