Just Another Day

"I'm a sparrow in a kettle of hawks."

Hilael is very quiet, reserved, and passive. He is often bullied by others of the clan, but refuses to defend himself for fear of what would happen if he let go. Hilael spends much of his time either alone or with his grandmother, Misen. She taught him much of what he knows about gathering and medicine, and he is well on his way to being a proficient apothecary and healer like her.

Katari is the only one outside of his family he willingly spends time with. He is frequently pestered by Ina, who is determined to become his friend whether he likes it or not.

No special origin to his name, I just went with a semi-angelic sounding name. Although the closest you'll find is the male Arabic name "Hilal" meaning "half-moon", or the Norse "Lael" meaning "God". It is oddly appropriate for him, as some of his features are only considered "half there" by his clansmen.
