Kyra Korsem
Kyra Korsem is a selfish bandit currently operating alone in the Outer City of Belgrath. She specifically chose to wield a large greatsword in order to better intimidate lone travelers into handing over their valuables. In case a fight breaks out, she wears scale mail to protect herself and has a longbow for distant encounters.
Appearance
As a lone bandit struggling to make ends meet, Kyra is rather lanky and scrawny, though this isn't always obvious given the bulky scale mail she usually keeps equipped. Her dark brown hair is always unkempt, and the dark eyes on her normally dirty face are permanently narrowed as if she's constantly scanning for threats. Although she spends most of her time within the mountains, her complexion signals her family's roots to a land far from her current home in Belgrath.
Skills and Abilities
- Fighting (2/5, Capable): Although she avoids fights when possible, Kyra knows how to use her weapons to defend herself. However, she has less experience in combat than the average bandit.
- Survival (3/5, Intermediate): Kyra has lived alone for most of her life in the dilapidated Outer City of Belgrath and has survived for long periods of time without seeing other people. Although she lacks experience in other environments, she is no stranger to living in tough conditions.
- Intimidation (2/5, Capable): As a bandit, Kyra makes enough money to buy what she needs by mugging lone travelers. However, the fact that she sneaks up on people and surprises them with her wicked looking greatsword is the main reason she can routinely pull this off.
- Stealth (2/5, Capable): Kyra is capable of stalking unaware travelers for long distances before ambushing them in their sleep, but she is very selective with her targets and picks people who don't look like seasoned adventurers.

Personality
Having chosen the life of a solitary bandit at a young age, nearly everything Kyra does is in her own best interests. Although she has no problem with threatening people to mug them or otherwise get what she wants, she has so far refused to kill anyone mostly because she doesn't want to be the reason others have had their families taken from them. With that being said, she also will not risk her life to save another person's life and is one of the first to run when trouble starts brewing. While she justifies her selfishness and cowardice to herself as necessary for survival, she struggles with shame and regret more each day. This combined with a life mostly lived in solitude and a desire to keep her life as a bandit secret makes her quiet and reserved in conversations, especially when talking to people she thinks have a good heart.
