Being from the cold north she is used to cold weather and knows how to dress accordingly. She has green eyes, black hair which come down to her shoulders. She stands at 5'6", weights around 140lbs. Eira has a few small scars across her face which she got from a wolf while out hunting. She has quite the average build, but somewhat stocky because of her training with the bow. She has not adapted Broacien customs and dresscodes, prefering her trusty leather and hide over fancy clothes. She does not wear the clothes that her "noble" status asks for, instead wears common clothes that fit comfortably. She looks rugged on the outside, weathered and worn from raising a child while providing for her family despite her husband's objections.

She has been tasked with foraging for now along with advance scout. [/i][/indent] [hr] 【[U]Personality[/U]】 [indent][i]Eira is a down to earth person which is content with her everyday life. Even if it isn't glamorous or what her dream life would be, it's good enough. She is cautious towards new people because of her tribe's constant "arguments" with a nearby tribe. While she herself isn't interested in fighting, she has had to kill before, something she still remembers in horror. If possible she prefers to keep her mark alive, questioning rather than slaying. Cheerful if you break down her ice wall of cold and sarcastic comments.[/i][/indent] 【[U]History[/U]】 [indent][i]Eira was born in a small village in the more northern parts of the continent. Her village is part of a larger confederacy of villages and tribes called Norsca. Norsca is pretty savage and feral, beasts roam the lands, making hunting quite dangerous, thus the tribe fights other tribes over hunting grounds. She married at the normal age of 14, had a child at the age of 15, and then a pair of twins two years later. She cherishes her children and wishes them all the well in the world, even if they don't get why she has to be so far away. Her husband is loving and caring, taking care of the children in her stead when she had to leave the village. She thinks about him sometimes, but more about her kids. While in the service of her tribe she acted as a fronter scout, reporting on movements and camp sites more than actual fighting. She detests war and fighting in general after she killed her first man at a young age in self-defence. She keeps thinking that her son would grow up to be a fighter, die and leave her behind, and that fills her with dread. When the call for able bodied troops came, she joined up against the promise that her tribe would be taken care of and protected against their rivals (against the objections of her husband) and she set out towards the capital of Broacien which the recruiter had directed her towards. [/i][/indent] 【[U]Dreams, short term goals, and fears.[/U]】 [indent][i]Eira's dreams would be to find her true love, even if she does not know this fact herself. She wishes to make her tribe stand out amongst the northerners to make it a better home for her son and daughters. She fears for her village and her children, hoping that the Broacian kingdom lives up to their promise of protection for the trade of manpower. [/i][/indent] [hr] 【[U]Skills[/U]】 [indent][i]She is quite an adapt tanner and skinner along with tracking from her hunter profession.[/i][/indent] 【[U]Martial prowess[/U]】 [indent][i]Eira is quite capable when it comes to archery and stealth. Being relied on as a scout for her tribe before. While she loathes to kill, she will in dire situations. While she is accurate in archery, she is quite the let down in close combat. She more relies on running away than standing her ground and fighting if the enemy comes too close. [/i][/indent] 【[U]Weaponry[/U]】 [indent][i]Eira carries a longbow which she herself made and a spear along with a skinning dagger.[/i][/indent] 【[U]Armor[/U]】 [indent][i]She wears hide and leather armour along with warm and thick clothes despite being further south.[/i][/indent][/indent][/hider]
