qalaisa (arknights)

A formerly unnamed Sarkaz woman from the fourth Arknights Integrated Strategies, Expeditioner's Jǫklumarkar, or just "IS4".

She first appears in the encounter node "Northwind Witch" that triggers a battle, similar to those of:

• An unidentified Cautus's encounter node "Damsel in Distress" in IS1, Ceobe's Fungimist.
• Chained Sarkaz Girl's encounter node "Shackled Bloodline" in IS2, Crimson Solitaire.
• Dancing Sarkaz Lady's encounter node "Dancing Chests" in IS3, Mizuki & Caerula Arbor.
• Praying Sankta Nun's encounter node "The Pious Worshiper" from IS5, Sarkaz's Furnaceside Fables.

She was later introduced as an NPC in the Story Collection "A Kazdelian Rescue". Her real name, Qalaiša, was revealed in the web event acting as a teaser to IS5.

Typically has black horns, black hair, overall black clothes with a white ribbon and one visible white earring with pointy ears, blue eyes, and has what appears to be a black picnic basket.
