Chief Ta'Ako Havalayea (Patreon)

Another "Tribe of Shawri" character.

For those who've been following via Twitter, I was working on a new tribe of leopards for the story. It includes a race of leopards which mix between leopards, jaguars, and snow leopards. (In some cases, some villagers may exhibit traits of clouded leopards as well.)

Featured is Chief Havalayea, [who is a younger chief compared to the Shawri or the Mandagora tribes]. He took the role after his mother, only after his estranged older brother could not take the position.

Runic leopards live in the mountains and forests, and are avid climbers and jumpers. They depend on trading or woodworking. Although their colors and fur lengths vary, there are very rare cases of villagers born with runic-like spots on their fur. It is considered divine and those villagers are held in high regard. The Havalayea tribe is built around the Healing Stone cluster.

Ta'Ako is an eccentric father of two. He is charming and personable, and well loved among his villagers, but he bears a heavy weight in his heart from his estranged brother.
