Cold, stern, naturalistic, attractive.

Locations: Temple of Tepititan, Town Center, Marsh, Hut 2.

Character: Alaqua is a cool, logical person who is self assured, independent, and a natural leader. At age 28 she was chosen by the women of Tep as the Defender of the Good Will and has been an influential authority figure since. She makes a point of decisively settling disputes as soon as they arise and never backing down on her opinion. Alaqua spends much of her time in the forest and at the marsh, enjoying solitude and communing with nature. She has become even more aloof than usual during Rametep's invasion, and confides in no one.

Description: Alaqua is an elegant, slender woman of moderate height. She wears a deep blue cotton robe tied at the waist with rope, and although her ebony complexion shows a few signs of age, she retains a comely form. A small leather pouch dangles on her left hip. Her long, black hair is pulled back into a thick braid that snakes down her left shoulder. High cheekbones and arching eyebrows lend her a somewhat severe countenance, and her striking, blue eyes regard you frostily.

"There's no need to become so emotional. Calm down and be reasonable."
"As Ararametepititan's representative, I expect you to do your utmost to repel Rametep's incursion on our island."
"One can only think clearly when one is removed from the influence of others."
"Ah, if only people could learn to live as beautifully as the wilderness."
"I'm sure you're convinced, but the facts are incontrovertible."
