Signe Orkhammer
Signe Orkhammer, so named for her part in repelling a Blight Orc assault on Withereach just after she had finished her Svalen pilgrimage. In that assault, she saved the life of a Dwarven merchant, who thanked her with a customized suit of armor, which she now wears near constantly.
Signe has taken to life on the road, traveling from the Kingdom to make of life what she can. She dearly loves the ice and tundra of her home but also longs to see the world before deciding if she is going to become a sedentary Nordenfiir.
Appearance
Human Form
Signe is a tall, well-muscled Nordenfiir warrior woman. She can typically be seen wearing her Dwarf crafted armor and wielding her great bearded axe. Her hair can be let down to fall between the small of her back and her buttocks, though is most often braided and bound behind her head. Her eyes are the blue of a clear fjord, with flecks of amber within.
Svalen Form
In her Svalen form, Signe is a large, dark brown bear. She does not as of yet bear any scars in this form, having spent a fairly equal amount of time in Svalen and Human forms.
Skills and Abilities
Bear Shifting
Signe has gained her Svalen, and can easily shift into her bear form.
Melee Combat
Signe enjoys getting close and personal in her battles and has trained excessively to do so.
Hunter
Nearly every Nordenfiir is taught to hunt from an early age, and any who have succeeded in earning their Svalen has had to hunt and forage for themselves to some extent. Signe has taken to this quite well and is an accomplished hunter in many types of terrain.
Personality
Base
Signe Orkhammer comes off as a fairly taciturn individual. She prefers to observe people before deciding whether she is going to open up to them. This is not because she bears any great or terrible secrets, but rather because she does not want to waste time on those who prove to not be worth it. Her sense of people is not infallible, but she has a good track record of trusting the right people, and not trusting the ones who wrong.
Opened Up
Once Signe has opened up and taken people into her circle of confidence, she laughs easily, and smiles often. She enjoys humor of most types and will enjoy a night of drinking and carousing as much as the next being.
Battle
During battle, her face and demeanor become impassive. When in human form, she focuses on her enemy and the field of battle, and then where her friends are. She lets most other concerns become concerns for after the battle. When in svalen form, she becomes far more ferocious and has to hang on tightly to caring where her friends are against her instinct to finish off her enemies swiftly and violently.
Biography & Lore
Signe has traveled the world since leaving Faarin, though has yet to do much to make her name known very widely.
