Warrior

In the village of Hyskaris in the Golmore Jungle, there was a woman who was held in high esteem among her people. Her name was Krjn, and she became over the course of her long life the one who trained several generations of Viera hunters and fighters. She had five children--two sons and three daughters. Of these children, Schala was born second.Having an elder sister to look up to and compete with was what drove Schala to excel in combat. The pair of them trained, sparred, and hunted together, and eventually shared the responsibility with the rest of the village of rearing children and training them with their mother. Even long after she came of age she failed to take an interest in any of the males that came around past friendly interactions, and so it came to be that by the time she was in her eighties and most of the women her age had children and grandchildren, Schala had none of her own. Instead, Schala had elected to hone her skills and defend their home from outside threats.

Wanderer

Most agreed that Schala could have been right at home living the life of a Wood Warder, for all that she enjoyed her solitary hunts and wanderings, and there was a time when she considered joining the men on the fringes and leaving village life behind. Schala's tendency for ranging outside the bounds of her village took her further and further away over the turns, and it was on one such long-range wandering that she happened upon an old, injured Wood Warder embroiled in what appeared to be a protracted engagement with a small group of men in armor. Without thinking, she jumped in to help him, and together the two managed to dispatch the invaders.That was her first experience with outsiders.When she returned to her village, she tried to warn her elders of the dangers they could soon be facing if the men were growing brave enough to send in scouting parties, but was met with inaction and dismissal. Frustrated, she began to range further and more often, and began interacting with the Wood Warders she found along the way to keep tabs on the situation. It seemed it wasn't the first incursion, and was not expected to be the last.

Mother

When next Shieke saw the old Wood Warder he was not alone, but paired with another Viera male who, upon meeting Schala, became aggressive toward her. It took time and repeated meetings for her to finally confront the man alone, and when she did it was not with words, but with blades. That was how Schala came to know Xjnn Djt-Bidit, who soundly and coldly defeated her in single combat. This was also how Schala met the man who would go on to sire all four of her children.Over the turns the pair met often, though most of the time only to exchange information or spar after they'd agreed to put their initial conflict behind them. There was never more than a mutual respect and close friendship between them, but it was enough that he was the only male she allowed to touch her, and she was the only one he felt he could trust with his lineage. Over the next half century, the pair had four children, two boys and two girls. The males trained under him when they came of age, and the girls stayed with Schala and the village. Over time, her children had children of their own, and her family flourished.

Traveler

When Garlemald pushed into Dalmasca, Xjnn was one of the unfortunate Wood Warders to be lost to smaller invading Garlean parties. When Schala found him, she recruited her brothers and tracked and ambushed his killers, but it was not enough. Others had met their ends at the hands of the metal men, and once Schala had helped clear out the braver parties she decided that it was time to take the fight to them.When Schala left her home, she took on the name "Shieke" and linked up with the Bozjan Resistance and the few Vieran brothers and sisters who had also come out of the jungle to fight. It was there that she remained until the IVth Legion withdrew. As she had voluntarily left the Wood, she would not be allowed back, so she traveled to Kugane and took a ship to Eorzea. If she could not go back to her ancestral home, then the least she could do was travel as far and wide as she was able. What better way to enjoy retirement?
