Kilava Onass

Kilava Onass is an Imass Bonecaster of the Tarad clan of the Logros, first named in Gardens of the Moon, and met in Memories of Ice. She refused the Ritual of Tellann that took the death out of her people, so she walks among the T'lan Imass as something rarer than any of them: still flesh, still breathing.

She is dark, short and lithe, with long black hair, a wide heart shaped face, broad thick cheekbones, an almost brutal brow ridge and the bowed legs of an Imass. As a Soletaken she takes the shape of a sleek blue black panther more than twice the length of a man, her eyes on all fours nearly level with a man's. She weeps at every sunset, and sings to the night sky in a way that sets the ay howling.
