Iza is concerned that when Ayla grows up nobody will want her as their mate, making her a burden to the Clan. It takes her much longer to train Ayla than it will her own daughter, Uba ( Lycia Naff), since Ayla does not possess the memories of the Clan.

Iza trains Ayla as a medicine woman 'of her line', the most prestigious line of medicine women out of all of the Clans. She is self-willed and spirited, but tries hard to fit in with the Neanderthals, although she has to learn everything first-hand she does not possess the ancestral memories of the Clan which enable them to do certain tasks after being shown only once. After traveling with them for a while and starting to heal, Ayla wanders away from the group when they stop to discuss what they should do and she discovers a huge, beautiful cave, perfect for their needs many of the people begin to regard Ayla as lucky, especially since good fortune continues to come their way as they begin to accept her in the fold.Īyla's different thought processes lead her to break important Clan customs, particularly the taboo against females handling weapons.
