Azaka Stormfang

Her mask is an heirloom, and has the additional property of helping a lycanthrope to control their transformations. Her family would pass it down from parent to child, with the child needing it less and less as they aged.

She grew up living and surviving off of the jungle rather than in Port Nyanzaru. She has a son, named Atuar, who was the last in the Stormfang line to inherit the mask. He was killed by the Pterafolk at Firefinger three years ago, at only 10 years old. Atuar's father, Bwayes O'tamu, was absent for most of the child's life.

Azaka has wandered far and wide through the jungle in tiger form. She is acquainted with Saja N’baza, the powerful and wise guardian naga of Orolunga, and gladly leads characters to the naga if they’re looking for guidance.

Azaka stands 6 feet tall and weighs about 150 pounds. She will not willingly spread her lycanthropic curse. She is also afraid of heights and will not willingly put herself in a situation in which she’s in danger of falling more than 60 feet. Azaka’s damage immunities do not protect her against damage from falling.

Azaka only started working as a Guide after Atuar's death, as a way to give her purpose. I gave her the following traits:

Ideal. By working as a guide, I can keep people alive that otherwise would be dead.

Bond. The mask that the Pterafolk stole is the last reminder I have of my son.

Flaw. I am prone to fits of rage, and struggle to keep a lid on my anger.
I am also afraid of heights and will not willingly put myself in a situation in which i am in danger of falling more than 60 feet.
My damage immunities do not protect me against damage from falling.

Since my sons death, i have lost control over my lycanthropy, that is why i need my mask back, so i can again fully control my curse. Without it, i am forced to change every full moon.
