Magical Ability (or lack of): Shayla did not inherit any significant magic ability from her Wayran heritage, at least none that she has currently been able to harness.
Personality:

If there was just one word that could be used to describe Shayla, it would be curious. She has always held a deep fascination for the world around her and has spent many long hours in the library trying to learn as much about it as she can. Although she has studied many different subjects, the technological push taking place in Mithras during the last decade has sparked a passion for learning about the sciences and spending her free time coming up with outlandish invention designs.
Despite her curious nature, Shayla is also rather shy around others. Sometimes people mistake her shyness for rudeness, but that is not her intention. She is very mild-mannered and eager to please, although sometimes she says things without thinking about the implications they may have.
Despite her meek nature, she has an almost obsessive interesting in technology and inventing, especially in the are of explosives. She has a rather dangerous hobby of testing how much black powder it would take to blow various items to pieces. She has a deep love of wide open skies and the creatures that traverse them, and she longs to invent a machine that will allow her to join them.

History:

Shayla was born to a wealthy, aristocratic family from the industrial city of Mithras. Considered a free city, Mithras is under the domain of no kingdom, and the government has been moving from oligarchy to rudimentary democracy unlike the monarchical nature of much of the rest of Theracia. Her mother and father married because of political alliances, and they blissful marriage image is merely a front to cover a rocky home life and there is no love lost between the two of them.
Shayla's mother became extremely ill not long after her birth, and eventually died when Shayla was 12. Her father, not wanting to have to deal with raising a child by himself, sent her to the Mithras Academy where she graduated at the age of 20. Not wanting to go back home, and not really knowing any life outside of the academy, she stayed as a librarian.

Appearance:

Shayla has always small and runtish, and age has done little to change that. She is rather short, standing just a hair above 5'. She has strawberry-blonde hair that she normally wears back in a headband braid. Shayla's unusual feature is her eyes. Although not noticable from a distance, a closer look can reveal a deep pink hue that sets her apart from the norm. She has horrible vision, which necessitates the use of a relatively new technology called eyeglasses.
