Physical Description
With a build somewhere between toned and lanky Sila's body is somewhat hardened by a harsh life in the desert. Hunting as well as merely surviving is keeping her in shape but a liking of alcohol and smoking keeps her from becoming truly athletic. She sports rust colored fur with a dull cream on her front, most of her face as well as her fingers and toes. Her headfur is a dark brown, shaggy mane, usually with several braids and ponytails in it.

Sila's clothes are rough and sturdy, fit for a life in the desert like herself. They are made of leather and other sturdy fabrics, mostly brown. Quite frayed in spots and Sila has patched them up many times over the years.

Mental Description
To many who first meet her Sila borders on the anti-social in her behavior. For the most part she simply does not want anything to do with others. Only when circumstances force her to does she interact with others. However, even then she is rarely friendly. That she will only manage if she really has to. Those who do get to know her or even manage to earn her respect will find that Sila can be quite sociable if she wants to. She simply prefers to be alone. Of course, every now and then even Sila will get lonely and be drawn to one of the settlements of Sutekh.

The fact that she prefers a simply life in the desert doesn't mean that Sila is particularly ascetic though. She is an avid smoker and drinker and only the fact that both are hard to come by in the desert keep her from completely overindulging in those vices. On the occasions when she is visiting a town though it is not unusual for her to hit the local bars quite hard. Usually she wakes up the next morning with a cataclysmic hangover beside someone she had never met before and in all likelihood will never meet again.

History
Sila was not born on Sutekh. Her family was banished to the planet when she was only a few years old. Subsequently she barely remembers anything of her homeworld, only that it was much colder than Sutekh. For the longest part of her youth Sila lived with her family in the slums of Shantytown, eking out their lives as well as they could. Sila hated every day of it and finally left when she was around 17 years old to never look back. She hitched a ride on a land-train that took her to Muddy Waters, where she stayed for the next few years. After just barely staying above water by doing any sort of work she could get Sila discovered that she had a liking and a talent for hunting. Over the following years she acquired her weapons and bike and during one extended hunting trip she realized that there really was no reason for her to live in a town anymore. She had always hated the overcrowded Shantytown and while Muddy Waters was better in that regard, she still hadn't been happy. The openness of the desert was much more to her liking and with a few exceptions she could get everything she needed to live on her own. So once again Sila left and never looked back.

These days Sila only ever visits towns when she has to. The rest of the time she is in the desert, traveling where her moods take her.

Possessions
Having given up on her home Sila doesn't own much beyond the clothes on her back and the tools of her trade. One of the most prized of those possessions is her bike. It is a heavy, large machine, created to make it through the rough deserts of Sutekh. Sila is very tight-lipped on how she got it but the few people who know her speculate that it is a military machine, or at least made from military parts. That observation stems mostly from the sturdiness of the bike and the fact that it does not run on gasoline but the same isotopic fuel that military vehicles and the large land-trains of the convoys use. That makes it a bit harder for Sila to find fuel, but it also means that the bike can go weeks without actually needing a refueling. Aside that Sila owns a small collection of weapons, many of which she keeps on her person all the time. Most prominent among these is her hunting rifle. A large weapon that has enough penetrating power to take down most of the beasts roaming the desert.
