*Correction, Chief Strong died before Crytal's birth. It was Chief Deanna, not Chief Strong who mentored Crystal. Sorry for the confusion*

Crystal.
Like Taji and her namesake, the Second Chief Taji, Crystal was a one of a kind beauty.
Like Taji, there has been no woman before or after that was born with her rare beauty.
While Taji’s eyes were the colour of a Raven, her long straight hair just as black, Crystal’ s hair was thick and curly, the colour of corn husk, her eyes Crystal blue, That’s why she so named.
While her sibling looked like family members that were still alive or long passed, Crystal had a look all her own.
The new Chief, Deanna adored Crystal, a girl who learned to study and had a quick mind. Never having had children of her own, she delighted in blessing the new babies of Isalo as well as enjoyed teaching Crystal the art of Alchemy.
Chief Deanna lived long enough to perform Crystal's joining and see the girl have children of her own.

One day, when Crystal had just turned 18 year old, her best friend Sandy-Sun was teasing the sharks. The young women of the village came to the shore, so Sandy thought he should step his game and swim with the sharks and grab one's fin. Crystal became so enamoured that they were soon married.

Like her mama, Crystal went on to have a large family.
First there was Angel, because of his angle fine hair. Angel liked the soil and was often found following his papa as he went fishing or dresses the fruit trees.
The next child was a girl. Have you ever seem the sun when it rises on a hot summer morning, the colour of flames? When that was the colour of this wee one's hair.
So she was named SunRay.
Sons Sun and Taj followed.
And then, when SunRay was 47 years old, she and Sandy recieved two suprises: that SunRay was once again expecting and this time, they were be triples!
Crystal and Sandy named their girls Sandy, Sanda and Sara. Theier hair was red, but short and curly.
Their lives were wonderful. After Cheif Deanna's death, and her sister-in-law was now Cheif, Crystal took over the Alchmey, enjoying her work. Her husband Sandy was now studying at the hosptial.
Both Angel and SunRay were now married and each had a son, Ali and Sun. The cousins could easy past for twins.
But one day, Crystal would do something that would change her life forever.

One day, when Crystal was 58 years old, she found a exquisite vial carved from solid crystal on the beach. It contain a very sweet-smelling, fragrant liquid. Thinking it must be an herbal preparation that someone lost, she decides to have a taste to see if she can figure out what it is......
