Britta is born to a Nordenfiir mercenary father and a human hunter mother in one of the outlying villages outside of Vel Anir called Graywind Pass. It lies along one of the main roads that lead in and out of the Vel Anir region, and is a popular rest stop by travelling traders and merchants. Upon her mother's death in her late teenage years, her father descended into a downward drinking spiral that eventually culminated in him leaving home for good, with no idea as to where he went. With both of her parents gone, Britta too left her village and began life as a mercenary, as she began wandering Arethil.

Appearance

Britta’s lovely locks are a rich shade of raven black that falls down to her shoulders. It is usually worn in a loosely tied ponytail to prevent it from getting in the way when she is engaged in her daily life especially when any form of physical activity is involved. With unblemished fair milky skin along with a smattering of freckles , and blue eyes like that of a clear spring sky, it provides a comely attractive appearance that most would consider pleasing to the eye, especially when complemented with the hint of rosy blush that is usually present.

Her full lips are a shade of plum pink, coupled with her attractive snub shaped nose Her form and physique is slender and well-toned from all the physical activity and combat training she has undergone since childhood. However, despite that her body still manages to retain a modicum of womanly curves, especially around her bosom and hips. She is usually clad in armour, be it in some form of custom made chain and plate armour that helps to add more bulk to her build.

Her weapon of choice is a longsword that she keeps in its scabbard on her belt. She also carries along her old hunting bow and her father’s old shield that he used to carry into combat.

Skills and Abilities

Sword & Shield - Having a Nordenfiir father who used to be a mercenary meant that training to be confident and proficient with the use of a sword was a given. Her father made sure very early on that she found herself highly competent and confident with using a sword and shield in combat.

Archery - Being raised as a hunter also meant that she had to be equally competent in the the use of a bow, as that was one of her main methods of livelihood, and gifted she was in it. She was not exactly the best archer there was, but she was more than capable of hitting a moving target a long distance away. This is a skill she has improved by years and years of practice.

Tracking skills - This is just another one of those essentials that came with her used to being a hunter as a profession. She is able to read tracks in the terrain(especially forested terrain) and is pretty decent and tracking people down, unless they leave no tracks that is.

Racial Passives - As a Nord, she inherits some of her father’s racial traits, such as greater strength, stamina and tolerance to cold compared to that of a typical human.

Personality

Being brave and adventurous has been something Britta has never lacked from a young age. Being afraid of hardly anything at all, she would be keen and curious enough to try everything and give it at least a go. She loves getting her hands dirty and getting into the middle of things. She is also naturally inquisitive and a curious soul who loves to discover and learn about new things. Sometimes, a little too curious for her own end, as she often ends up in places or doing things she is not supposed to do or be in. Brought up as a hunter, she can be incredibly patient and calm, as such traits are highly valued in the life of any hunter worth their salt.

She is level headed under pressure and is known to focus really well when she puts her mind and determination to a task. Highly persistent,she is not a quitter, and does not ever give up. While she can appear to be simple at a glance, she is actually more enigmatic than she seems to be. Friendly but private, calm but suddenly spontaneous, extremely curious, she can be difficult to predict, even to her loved ones and closest friends. She is intensely loyal and steady, and a passionate individual, through and through. Being incredibly blunt is also in her nature, and coating words nicely she does not do,, a childhood behaviour disregarded by her parents.

Biography

Britta was born to a Nordenfiir mercenary father and a hunter mother in one of the outlying villages outside Vel Anir. Her father eventually settled down after meeting her mother, and her birth was the result of their union. She lived a good and simple life. From a young age, she was known to be incredibly brave and adventurous, and her fearless streak amused her parents greatly. Despite her small size, she had no problems making her thoughts or displeasure be known, even when facing a fully grown adult. Her naturally inquisitive nature also often sees her bombarbing her mother when she come back from hunts, How was the hunt today? How many animals did you see? What were they? How many did you shoot? If they came back with a kill, the questions would be as such

Is that young or old? How did it die?

These questions would go on endlessly, and when she got bored with bothering her parents, she would go on to disturb others, and those that couldn’t be bothered to entertain her would shoo her away, while those that adored her would take their time to explain to her about her queries. Coming from a long line of hunters, it was only natural for her to become a hunter as well when she grew of age. She learnt the basics of using a sword that came with being a Nordenfiir, and then moved on to the mastering the bow. When she got both of these skills under her belt, Learning tracking skills came next. She was naturally gifted with the bow, it was in her blood after all, but she still mostly favoured the her sword, whenever it was possible to use one.

The young Britta asked her parents about the statue, but they had no idea who he was. She asked several more villagers, but none of them knew. So she went to the wisest man in the village, and describe the look of the godly being to him. The old man pondered for several moments, before he answered her. Nykios. The cosmic god of war and victory. She learnt all she could from the wise man, but his knowledge about the god was severely limited, and so she made it her goal to find out more about the god, Nykios. Tragedy struck one day when her mother’s hunting party was killed by unknown raiders. A search party sent the next morning found their grisly fate, their bodies lying where they had fallen the day prior. Any valuables of note were gone, and so bandits was suspected. They must have overwhelmed the group with large numbers.

Her father searched for the group and hunted each and everyone of them down, sending them to their graves, but their deaths did not fill the loss of his beloved wife in his heart. Wallowing in deep depression, he just up and left home one day, never to return. With one parent dead, and the other missing, Britta too left home, wanting to leave the sad memories of her parents behind. This place had been her home for nearly two decades, but right now it held too many painful memories for her to stay. There was no longer any reason to stay any longer. Leaving the village behind, Britta began to explore the rest of Arethil and search for what fate had in store for her.
