Mikaela Ryurik
Appearance
Not lacking in posture or training Mikaela is still quite lean and thin compared to other female Nordenfiir. This, however, does give her the advantage of being quite agile. By working out more and enjoying copious males she hopes to become a bit broader and taller, but so far the growing takes away her dream of being a force to be reckoned with.
Her hair is nothing out of the ordinary; long black locks she sometimes ties up when training, cooking, or working on armor with her father when he has the time to show her some tips and tricks. Those are the times she loses any track of time and ends up looking like she came straight from the mines of Withereach. Some scrubbing allows her pale skin to come through and compliment her dark violet eyes once again.
Personality
Curious and bratty as her age demands, Mika is a very proud and loyal individual. During the few encounters -ones laughable for seasoned warriors- she has shown bravery and a sharp mind. At times her pride overrules reason and brings her into various types of predicament, even so, she manages to take pride even in those occasions.
Magic
Has yet to unlock her Svalen.
Background
Born in Nordengaard herself only one of her parents originated from the capital. Her father, Oryn Ryurik - a nobleman, was born and raised in the capital where his family was tied to Solstal and its steel production. Her mother, Erin Eniisa, came from Faarin where her family had been living for centuries and making their living by hunting, fishing and crafting. During the last decades crafting of the finer clothing had become more of their trade. Where Indeholm made the tougher outerwear, the Eniisa family had dedicated themselves to things which were slowly becoming liked by the Nordenfiir and were less usable for battle. This business, however, suffered a hard blow during the reign of Borvenir when the appreciation for finer things plummeted. This forced the family to return to their old ways and for now they have decided to keep it at that because of the war and the following tragedy caused by the mysterious portal. Basic needs have to be satisfied before one can think of the pretty things.
Having returned from a trip to Faarin before history took a turn for the worse, Mikaela had decided to leave in order to Take the Path after a short stay at the capital. Wandering into the unknown lands at the age of 15 the cub turned out to be too young to find her Svalen. While the journey had helped to hone her survival skills and had even given her a bit more muscles, the bitter taste of disappointment still lingered when she decided that it was time to head back home. There was a feeling that was calling for her to return, a dreadful feeling telling her that something bad had happened. Whether it was simply her mind playing games because of her fruitless journey or her intuition being right was yet to be seen.
