Personality
Tzila is a brooding and sulking creature that spends most of her days in and out wandering up and down the winding lengths of the canyon aimlessly, wallowing in the memory of the mistreatment that ended her life and her distaste toward the human, and all others like him. She does not like other creatures, and she is not fond of other esks, their pestering, or their annoying habits. She doesn't want to interact with anyone and she avoids any that may come wandering in- she's a stubborn soul, if a bit oblivious to her true feelings.... she comes off as not wanting anything to do with anyone- and maybe that is partly true. But in reality she is super touch-starved and sorely lacking compassion, tenderness and kindness- all of which was sorely lacking in her previous life.
With all her brooding and skulking back and forth through the canyon, she's earned something of a reputation for being an old, restless and evil spirit haunting the place.... and in some ways she is. She's trapped to this place and with no way to leave it, or it's winding paths, or endless, barren, dusty reaches.
She is not quick to temper, but on especially bad days she can snap and act out- echoes of her rage and malcontent travel upward and bounce off the canyon walls with a reverence that shakes all in the area to their cores. On these days all living steer clear, unsettled by the ghostly, terrible calls and the thrumming vibration and energy born from them. They feel chills run down their spines, their teeth set on edge and an awful ache creep into their hearts. Should anyone be unlucky enough to find themselves in Tzila's presence when she is like this, they quickly skitter away in fright from the dark and lumbering figure traipsing through the endless canyons.
Sometimes animals or esk get lost in the maze made up of the canyons, invading on Tzila's space and setting her on edge. Generally she avoids them wherever she can, but sometimes she'll cast them a warning glare or emit emotion and energy so potent it could stop one's heart- on occasion these unlucky souls have run from her only to end up lost, and then never seen again.
