Yaalani
Profession Trapper
Ethnicity Eelakin
Homeworld First of the Sun

Yaalani the Brave is a mythological Eelakin woman.[1]

Despite the fact that Eelakin trappers are always men, Yaalani is famous for ignoring custom and traveling to the Pantheon to trap the Aviar. She is the only female trapper recorded in Eelakin history. Her story is often told to young girls.

Vathi, a well-educated Eelakin woman, grew up listening to stories of Yaalani the Brave.[1] She has since learned of stories from many other cultures where women served in roles traditionally held by men, such as warriors, generals, and trappers. Vaathi believes that Yaalani is merely a myth told to girls by their parents to convince them that they are not Yalaani and cannot break tradition.
