Interesting. I really like the species. What do the markings look like on older Ma'atus?

Oh and does Nemali not have an ornament because she hasn't found a favorite soul yet. By the fact that she is very young im guessing she doesn't have a favorite yet?

You're exactly right! She needs to find a soul she likes still c: And a Ma'atu's coloration and markings depend on their personality and what kind of abilities he or she chooses to work with. Ma'atu have the ability to manipulate energy, and sometimes they'll choose an element that best fits them, causing the manifestation of stronger abilities in the physical world. Others choose more spiritual gifts, such as psychic abilities and manipulation of subtle energies. Nemali is just starting this path of choosing her ability. For now, she is honing only her spiritual abilities, which means that she'll have a weaker effect on the physical realm. Only one marking has surfaced, due to her interest in seeing auras, chakras, and a person's soul, or who they are beneath the mask they put on in daily life. The more markings one has, the more powerful their abilities. They can live up to a thousand years, then they reincarnate, choosing a different path c:
