Haleyla Windfang, a Nekshou with unique features, serves as a Captain under Lord Amund Mur'i of Rivermond. Unlike her master, Haleyla resisted the full transformation of the curse that afflicts her kind. As a result, she retains certain feline characteristics such as claws, patches of fur, and distinct ears. Nevertheless, these physical traits haven't hindered her from becoming a highly skilled soldier and a respected leader within Lord Mur'i's guardsmen. Haleyla's loyalty and dedication to her duty are unwavering. She dutifully follows the orders of her superiors and isn't hesitant to assert her authority over her soldiers, setting high standards and expecting them to be upheld. Her presence instills discipline and inspires her troops to perform at their best.
One significant mission assigned to Haleyla was to deliver an important message to the Lord of Shoremond, James Holmes. While in Shoremond, she found herself the target of an assassination attempt. In a stroke of fortune, the adventuring party known as the Travellers happened to be present and intervened, saving Haleyla's life. Grateful for their timely intervention, Haleyla developed a debt of gratitude towards the Travellers. Having successfully completed her mission, Haleyla returned to her duties alongside Lord Amund Mur'i in Rivermond. However, the encounter with the Travellers and their selfless act of rescuing her left a lasting impression. She now carries a sense of indebtedness and a willingness to assist the Travellers should the opportunity arise.
As she continues her service as a Captain under Lord Mur'i, Haleyla faces the challenges that come with her unique appearance and the prejudice she encounters from some individuals who view her as different. Nevertheless, her skills, dedication, and unwavering loyalty make her an invaluable asset to the Lord's forces. With her feline attributes and prowess as a fighter, Haleyla remains a formidable presence on the battlefield, ensuring the safety and security of Lord Amund Mur'i and the city of Rivermond.
