Appearance

Ayla has long blonde hair, fur clothing and a powerful athletic build.

Personality

She is direct, brave and welcoming to strength used in defence of others. Her simple speech does not imply a lack of judgment or leadership.

Role in the story

Her community’s struggle becomes linked to events with consequences far beyond prehistory. She joins the wider journey while remaining responsible to her people.

Gameplay and encounters

Ayla relies on physical techniques and develops her fists differently from purchased weapons. Charm adds a valuable collection role, but stealing should not replace healing when the party is close to defeat.
