#the reason i don't ever win the housing lottery is there ain't no mountain high enough to get me that kind of luck

ooh, 🍾! for the ask prompts

🍾: Does your OC believe in luck? If so, do they have any charm or ritual they do before a stressful event?

Makhali absolutely believes in luck! She doesn't attribute all success or failure to it, choosing to believe mostly in her own strength and in the abilities of her allies, but she definitely considers it a factor.

The night before an important event, she'll venture out into the darkness, rain or (moon)shine, to pray beneath the stars to Nhaama from the highest point she can physically climb to. Makhali's tribe believed that the closer you were to the night sky, the better the chance that Nhaama would grant you her blessing. In the high peaks, being able to balance on the tallest and thinnest of ledges was both a necessary skill and a sign of prowess - and therefore it was thought to please the Dusk Mother to see her children so close.

Thank you for the ask! :D
