Description
Ulthana Mixtla is of Guatemalan descent and still speaks her native Quiché as well as English and Spanish. She is 5'4", has a wiry frame, and long dark brown dreadlocks. She has a scar in the form of a tree (roots and all) on the back of her right leg.
Background
Ulthana was raised in a small indigenous Mayan village in Guatemala. Her father was a Verbena who served in the military as a triage nurse. Her mother was an acolyte who worked her own magick as a curandera. Both of her parents instilled a deep and reverent respect for Nature and the gift of Life it gave. She awoke rather young and chalked her and her father's magickal abilities up to their Calling, much like farmers and politicians have their place.
Her father suffered from a mistaken identity flaw and and was claimed to be a high ranking official of an opposing faction by an unknown person, who sold him out to the URNG, a group of guerilla insurgents. While she was down by the river just out of the village, the URNG attacked her village and burned her house, killing both her parents and her baby brother. She was taken in by one of her father's friends who had strong ties to the black market and began his pursuit to get her legal documents which would send her to America. When her papers came in, he told her she would go to San Diego because he had a tight network of people there. One the day she was to leave, he gave her a small notebook filled with names and numbers of contacts.
Upon her arrival, she found a place to stay with one of the man's cousins. She continued to use his place until she got her bearings, and set off to start her new life. As she was sixteen, she learned self-defense in the form of a sharp tongue, a distancing and rebellious personality, and light pistols. About a year later, she felt a pulling to a Voudoun-decorated hut on the coast. As she went inside, Mama, the owner of Mama's Fortune Telling, greeted her with closed eyes. Mama told her exactly why she was there and gave her a message from her father. Mama was a Dreamspeaker who had all but retired from the Mage world and had entirely resigned from combat. Ulthana lived with her and started a garden in a back room where she prepared tea and other herbal concoctions for Mama as "rent."
Ulthana was called in by Mama and told she needed to pack a few things. She was pushed into the umbra by Mama and was instructed to "go and find where you need to be." She heard shouting and gunshots as soon as she entered the umbra and went towards the ruckus. As it turned out, she arrived just as the Chaos Theories chantry had won the fight.
Paradigm
As a result of her first Seeking, she has begun to see the world as whole, not the sum of its parts. Where she used to perceive her environment by equating them to her own bodily experiences, she is now beginning to see that all the world is entirely interwoven and ultimately connects at the center, Nature. She regards all life as serving a purpose, even if that purpose is to be used as fertilizer.
