Rian Frostdottir
Appearance
Upon first glance sharp blue eyes are what stand out most about Rian. Short black hair frames her pale and angular features. She stands tall and strong, her years as a craftsman giving her a cutting physique.
Rarely is Rian seen out of her fur-trimmed, dark leather armor and her faithful gray breastplate. She carries many items upon her person, as told by the amount of bags and pouches that crowd her belt.

Skills and Abilities
Love of the hunt has lead Rian to favor the bow and spear, the latter being her main weapon of choice. Consistent and heavy use of both have given her a proficient understanding of their function in combat.
Skilled in the art of leather working and minor weaponsmithing, Rian is adept at turning the hides of boars into protection befitting even a high-ranking soldier. She also dabbles in both ivory and wood carving. The taming of metal she finds to be a difficult task, but she is capable of crafting simple weapons.
Minor Rune magic finds its way into some parts of life, whether reinforcing a piece of leather or imbuing a quiver to bear heartier arrows.

Personality
The daughter of frost is arrogant, finding little importance in those weaker than Norden-kind. Having no one to show her love as a child, charity does not come naturally for the woman, and her pride is her most valued possession.
Suspicious of other's intentions and wary of their judgement Rian savors seclusion, but ironically tolerates the presence of non-Norden over that of her own kin.
If broken, what's found under that icy exterior is someone who is uncertain, alienated, and afraid of being labeled weak.

Biography & Lore
Rian's birth ended in a rare event of complications that lead to her mother's death. The last to be born of twins, the struggle and end result of her delivery was deemed a bad omen, leading for the child to be left in the elements to die. But despite the odds Rian's survival was miraculous. Afraid of incurring the wrath of whatever kept the girl alive the midwife returned her to the father, but he wished nothing to do with the babe.
Fostered by different homes she carried only the name of Frostdottir, the description which the midwife gave her.
Once she was seventeen years of age she sent herself on the journey to find her birthright, her Svalen, and never returned to Kiringssal. She carved out a place for herself on the outskirts of Indeholm, that which she sardonically dubbed her "little kingdom," and gave herself the name of Rian.
