Description
Ayedah

A character of ValkyrePaine on the Paizo boards
For the Pathfinder roleplaying game.

Female Human (Shoanti Hawk clan)/Bbr1/ CG
Age 19, (6'1")
Str14 Dex 12 Con 18 Int 10 Wis 12 Cha 11

A tall and muscular young woman, Ayedah's dark brown skin, brown eyes, cleanly shaven head, and the stylized black hawk tattoo on her right arm make her Shoanti heritage obvious. Only her black eyebrows hint at what color her hair might be. She's highly toned all over, hardened by life in the Cinderlands. While quite built, she's retains a bit of lankiness due to her height.
Her face often undermines her image as a hardened upland barbarian though, as it often seems more the somewhat pretty face of an optimistic, wide-eyed dreamer than a harsh warrior. This is lost entirely when she is overcome by rage.
Her clothes are plain and fuctional: simple hide armor, leggings, and boots of leather and hide, with a heavy warhammer strapped to her back. He clothes are rugged and well worn, but it's clear she needs to start thinking about replacing them soon. The close-fitting armor on her torso leaves her muscular arms exposed, but covers everything else. The leggings are soft leathers that would be a bit lit loose if not for her muscular legs. They're tucked into her simple travelling boots and held by an old belt in which she keeps her knife(used for simple tasks, not fighting) and coin purse.
A simple, small medallion of copper hangs from her neck on a loose cord. Bearing a the symbol of Korvosa, it's not a mark of her loyalty to that city but rather a memento of her childhood friends who were Korvosans. It's monetarily worthless, but it's highly precious to her.
Her earthbreaker is like those seen in official art for the most part: a great two-handed warhammer with a spiked head. It's handle is longer though(mostly to make sense in my head as far as leverage goes), about three feet. It's not enough to make it a range weapon, but enough to be reasonably functional.
Her hair is going to change soon. Eventually she's going to get a bit sensitive about her lack of hair where having it is the social norm. She's either going to try growing it out or getting a potion to do so faster, but no matter how she gets it she's going to be unhappy with the results. It itches, it catches on things, and generally annoys her until she gets what she thinks is a brilliant idea: shave it all cleanly off again except for a single "horsetail" of hair between the very top and the very back of her head, bound by a ring at the base of the tail. Her thinking is that she gets the image of having hair without the itching, and it can easily be cut off if it ever caught on anything or was grabbed in a dangerous situation. The fact that it looks absolutely strange to most city dwellers in Korvosa never occurs to her.
The look in her eyes is most often one of wonder at the strange world she has stepped into.
Personality
Ayedah is a caring young woman with a deep fascination for other cultures. She doesn't think of other groups of people in monolithic terms, but she can often be naive in expecting the best of people.
Though she often seems outgoing and confident she still feels shy and insecure about fitting in and in matters of romance, but she's trying to overcome this. Although generally optimistic, she is taking some recent personal losses hard and has great difficulty in letting go of matters that strike her as unjust. She can be a bit too quick to anger when people she cares for have been wronged.
Though she thinks of herself as Shoanti through and through, her interest in other cultures and her desire to fit in leads her to adopt some non-Shoanti customs, sometimes clumsily so. Similarly, though she is faithful to her Shoanti beliefs, she also has an interest in the gods of the other peoples, though she admits she does not know enough about any of them to "throw in with them".
