Layla, the Lone Tribal Woman (and her centaur and wolf girl companions)
Layla was born into an unknown tribe. When she was 6, a sudden earthquake hit their cave, she was the only known survivor, and (likely) the last of her tribe. She was soon adopted by a different clan, growing up alongside them for a good 13 years, until a new and corrupt leader came into control, and said leader loathed Layla to bits for being an “outsider” and was subsequently permanently exiled from the tribe. Striking out on her own, at 19, she settled down in a faraway cave in a faraway land, completely alone, with no one to help her. During this time, she began honing her skills. Already an excellent cook, and adequate with a slingshot (the only weapon a woman was allowed to hold in her clan), she trained until becoming excellent at both: able to kill her food within one hit of her slingshot, and able to expertly cut, cook, and preserve said food as well. During her 15 years in exile, she met her two companions at different points in her time there: 2 years in, she met Molly, her now loyal centaur, and 8 years in, she met Jo, a wolfgirl that Layla raised from scratch. Despite her companions, and her skills, she still felt incredibly lonely, and longed for human contact for all 15 of those years. And that’s when she just so happened to meet you...
