Nascha

A skin-walker, or a yee naaldlooshi, follower of the witchery way. Often

misunderstood by their people, the legends about them speak of murder,

necrophilia, and abandonment of humanity.

 

While some yee naaldlooshi are vicious beings of evil, many are simply

people who have decided, for various reasons, that they would like to spend

part of their lives as animals.

 

Myths say that the murder of a blood relative is the final step to becoming

a skin-walker, the truth, however, that the death of a loved one is one of

the more common causes of deciding to abandon human form.

 

It is also said that past of the ritual involves midnight dances in the

nude. This misguided idea is prevalent because skin-walkers cannot

transform their clothing when they take animal form.

 

One notion that is completely correct is that the skin-walker must use the

pelt of the animal whose form they wish to take.

 

Nascha of the Gray Wolf Clan chose the life a yee naaldlooshi after her

parents and younger brother died of a fever.

 

She has since spent much of her time as a snow leopard, in a call far from

the territory of her clan.

 

When in human form she wears ponchos, blankets, or other garments that can

be easily and quickly shed, or nothing at all.

 

The legends of skin-walker's evil and sadistic nature has helped her to

avoid others, causing her to propogate the myths whenever possible.
