Personality: intelligent ✧ sympathetic ✧ precise ✧ stubborn ✧ agile ✧ gentle ✧ cool ✧ elegant ✧ independent - Once a jewel amongst desert sands, Tejal has always been a diamond hidden in the rough. She's soft and level-headed, taking changes and unforeseen obstacles in stride. She's as curious as she is delicate, preferring to observe and collect information as opposed to strike out rationally without plans. Although quiet and a bit mysterious in many ways, Tejal is more of an open book than she first leads on. She's untrusting of unknown souls initially, and prefers to operate her life with precision and strategy-- at least to the best of her abilities. She's cunning and witty, using words as her 'weapon' of choice, preferring a path of natural indifference to that of grandeur and elite-ism.  She's outwardly kind, and an easy soul to feel comfortable around, though she's no stranger to being diligent and standing her own ground if necessary.  Once a lady of the court, she has the elegance, appeal, and training of a female in power -- clearly familiar with a life of luxury and comfort.  Time has brought her maturity and understanding of the real world, hence earning her a sense of calm independence.

History: Born with blue blood, and silver spoons in every direction, Tejal was born a dutchess in her herd, a position that was without power, but plenty of responsibility.  A cookie-cutter copy of her older sisters, she was expected to act the part.  She learned her duties, and what was expected of her without hesitation, as she believed in her own birthright and had little education of the world without it.  Following in line behind her sisters, Tejal was not the youngest in her family's bloodline, but growing up slowly and peacefully was not a choice for her or anyone else.

Normalcy would be shaken to it's core not long after her third season of age.  The vast herd structure came tumbling down in what felt like overnight.  Overthrown by newly spreading bachelor herds and equally grand bloodlines looking to take down their enemies numbers.  Tejal was separated from her herd while still young and vulnerable.  Keeping her status as a lady of a court quiet was what kept her alive for the years after.  Denying her involvement with the politics, and instead explaining she was a nurse mare in training -- a nobody.

Adapting and learning to ever-changing environments has made her stronger, and dare I say more calloused than before.  Being on her own since she'd been taken from her herd those three years ago, Tejal now enters a world she doesn't know, another path she has sought out to map for herself.
