Nyla | Orangutan | AVAILABLE

NYLA

PERSONALITY ::
Nyla is generally revered as a methodical and caring ape. However, since the birth of her current infant, Nyla has grown distant from other apes. She finds herself stressed if others so much as look at her baby and the need to flee to higher branches often overtakes her. She startles easily and, when relaxed may be found cooing and singing to her child. Prior to her current motherhood status, she would sing songs on the road to entertain and enlighten the spirits of her fellow apes. Now, if caught singing, she will react with surprise, fear, and a hint of anger towards those that choose to approach her.

HISTORY ::
Nyla was born and raised in a zoo. During her many years in captivity, she never found the proper conditions to be met to successfully mate. This was mostly due to the males never staying long. At their lack of success they would be moved elsewhere to participate in distant breeding programs. It was not until the apes' escape and traveling as one solitary tribe that she was able to find love.

Unfortunately, she would have to suffer most of her pregnancy and child birth as a single parent as her mate contracted an upper-respiratory infection during the winter before she gave birth. When the tribe split she just followed along one path, not even having the will to see who she was following or where they were going. The birth was a difficult one - even with the help of tribal healers. It certainly did not help her situation when she had to carry a newborn up a mountain in search of a new home.

RELATIONSHIPS ::
Nyla currently has an infant that she cares for.

NOTES ::
Details regarding Nyla's infant is up to the player who decides to take her.
