Marisa Thalren was born in a small frontier settlement along the western slopes of the Spine. Life there was fragile, shaped by harsh winters and the threat of predators both natural and unnatural. When she was still young, her settlement was attacked by night creatures. The disaster left a deep scar on her life and took several members of her family. A passing Yaegir hunter arrived too late to save them, but early enough to guide the survivors to safety. That encounter planted the first seeds of Marisa's future.


As a teenager she followed hunters, trappers, and scouts, learning every skill she could. When she finally presented herself at Crobhear Keep, she was stubborn, observant, and already comfortable navigating the wilds. Her initiation trial required her to track a solitary predator that had been stalking remote homesteads. She succeeded, though the fight left her with marks she still carries. The victory earned her the Yaegir pendant she now keeps close.


Marisa works across the frontier regions and returns to Crobhear Keep only between missions. She has earned several Yaegir Coins for hunts completed near the Spine and uses them to purchase rare oils and improved alchemical components. Rangers often call on her for reconnaissance in difficult terrain, and she has a growing reputation for identifying monster behaviors that others overlook.


Despite her skill, she carries an old fear that she may one day face a threat she cannot protect people from. This fear drives her to keep training, keep learning, and keep hunting. Her long term hope is to establish or help staff a permanent Den near her old homeland, ensuring that others will not face what she once endured.
