Akinyi Witchgil, (-1187, ?) was a prostitute in Engaruka.
Akinyi believed in Ancient Egyptian religion.
She lived a life of poverty. She was able to eat and sleep under a shelter, but ended with having no possession at all. She was considered as belonging to the lowest caste. However, she made some friends among it. She had only a basic knowledge that summed up to a few oral stories from childhood. She was force of nature, and people saw in their body and beauty the incarnation of a god. She was iron-willed, achieving any goal she set.
Akinyi, 0 years old, was chosen to be the new leader of the family. However, she was too young for now and was raised by a friend of the family.
16 years later, Akinyi, 16 years old, leather worker, became the new leader of the family.
At the age of 26, Akinyi had an opportunity to change her activity. After some time and some learning, she became prostitute. On the next full moon, Akinyi blackmailed a famous figure in Engaruka to gain influence.
