Personality/History: The mother of several elves, including Ti-Len and Chetta by the same mate, Ki-Nava surrendered both her children in order to maintain the order that has kept the bands together for so long; she is at peace with her decision as a Plainsrunner, but as a mother, struggles with her inability to connect as she once might have, especially with her daughter Chetta. She has found that this may not be due to the separation itself, but a gap she has allowed to grow.
A gatherer in her early years, she took on a fiercer outlook as experience caught on to her. She still enjoys a simple trip out to collect precious mushrooms or grasses for stews, but rarely finds the opportunity. This is one elf devoted to her responsibilities, even when she can't stand them. Her mother was a weaver and gatherer; her father fostered as a brother to their leader from another clan, a good warrior. She respects the fostering tradition and while she believes change is necessary, tradition doesn't have to be discarded without a cause. She often acts much older than she is.
A typical plainsrunner, she's as stubborn as a boulder at times, but nearly always bows to the wisdom of elders and bandleaders. She's an active listener and learner, and can be very quiet, even when arguing, despite a tremendous fierceness. Ki-Nava values her tribemates input, but stands firm, often frustrating young ones, and she enjoys respectfully debating elders and peers. Ki-Nava has a tremendously odd sense of humor, despite her sometimes hard outer exterior, a trait passed to her son Ti-Len. She values decisiveness and logic, but empathy as well, though even she isn't sure how the balance should lie.
She was close to her brother once, a warrior and defender of the band who died when she was 20, fending off a couple of stray hungry human men who came to steal their band's horses for meat as they slept. Ki-Nava despises humans, but leaves it as all the more reason to do everything in her power to avoid them, rather than confront them. The black braid on her spear is his, reminding her to always think of the tribe, and his sacrifice.
