Background

Thesda kom Trikru was born in Coesburg twenty-four years ago to a warrior and a midwife. A quiet child by nature, despite not speaking much, she began to crawl and walk fairly early on, and with that came a tendency to climb just about anything she could manage to get up on. Her youth was no more or less rough than any Trikru child, though few of the others would dare to climb higher than she would.

She became the Second of one of the veteran scouts when she was ten, excelling in the art of remaining unseen and emphasizing combat that took advantage of her dexterity. She served as a skirmisher in the second war against the Azgeda, and by the time she turned twenty-four, seventeen kill marks had been added to her back.

She continues to serve her village of Coesburg, deeply suspect of these new arrivals from the sky, and concerned about how their presence may change her people's way of life. She is fondly known as "Wantoppa" by those who know her, roughly translated as "Death From Above" in reference to her tendency to hide in trees and attack by dropping down upon her enemies.

Characteristics

Description

Just under five and a half feet tall, this young woman appears to be in her mid-twenties. Long dark hair falls just short of the small of her back, one side braided back tightly against her head with a few plaits left to hang over her shoulder while the rest is left loose. Her eyes are dark brown, deep enough to be called black. She has perhaps surprisingly delicate features; elegantly arched brows, high, wide cheekbones, a pert nose, full lips, and a stubborn, lightly dimpled chin.

She wears a short, fitted jacket of tanned leather, metal rivets and buckles situated to keep it fastened over a simple olive shirt. Likewise, her pants are well fitted, also olive hued and tight-fitted to her legs. Sturdy boots cover her feet. A sword rests in a sheath at her back, with knives not only fitted against her legs, but in her boots as well.

Quirks

  • Drop Bear. One of her favorite tactics is to drop down from a tree onto her enemies when attacking them. It's earned her the nickname "Wantoppa", loosely translated as Death From Above.
  • Hips Don't Lie. Thesda is very physically expressive, and considered one of the best dancers in Coesbur.
  • Talk Less, Smile More. She doesn't like to speak a lot, but tends to communicate via facial expressions, hand gestures, and posture a great deal.
  • Friend to Beasts and Children. Children tend to trust Thesda, and often instinctively take a liking to her. Maybe they subconsciously realize she will protect them if needed. Animals also tend to respond well to her, perhaps due to her quiet nature.
  • Climb Every Mountain. She loves to climb and be positioned in high places. The higher, and the more challenging the climb, the better.
  • Ambivalent, aka "Honeybadger Does Not Give A Fuck". Thesda does not have time for your bullshit. She may have her opinions, but she's not usually terribly passionate about expressing them, and doesn't tend to weigh in much on politics, relationships, or whathaveyou. Truth is, most of the time she really can't be arsed.
  • Not the Face. Perhaps surprisingly, Thesda's pretty vain about her looks. She's not afraid to get dirty, but she'll go out of her way to avoid taking damage to her mug.
