Sänume

""The Spirits answer those who listen." - Sänume."

Appearance
Sanume is an older Na'vi. Her face is lean, but still smooth, despite her age. Her tawny amber eyes are ageless, yet ancient, seeing all and missing nothing. Her limbs are long and lean, her fingers stretched from years of use. Her blue-black hair is decorated with bones, feathers and beads, and her queue falls to her narrow hips.

Her voice is rustic, eerie, powerful, but when she is not speaking seriously, she sounds like the warm caring mother she had been, the grandmother she is. When angry, her voice becomes powerful and has the ability to stop the fiercest warrior in his darkest fury.

Personality
Sanume is patient, wise and caring. She sees everything from all sides, listens, and takes everything with the proverbial grain of salt. She will take children in her lap and tell them stories, smiling broadly, but has the will to turn around and render judgment on one who has done wrong. Her belief is that if she does things correctly, no one even knows she's done anything at all.

Her abilities to see into the otherworldly plane are a gift and a curse. She cherishes the ability to help her tribe, but loathes the whispers she hears from the veil that tell her who will be joining them soon.

History
Not much is known about Sanume. She showed promise as a Tsahik as a young woman, but being the daughter of a hunter, she wasn't entitled to the position. She grew up hearing the whispers of the spirits of the world, both Na'vi and animal. She assumed she would grow to be a caretaker, a medicine woman who would care for the sick and wounded.

When Amanti did not show promises of becoming the Tsahik, but rather, the Olo'eytkan, she was given the position of Tsahik when Amanti's mother passed away. She took the position with a heavy heart, but did so out of love for her people.
