ROLE
Shaper
Appearance
Agleth stands at 5'5", and is a very stocky woman. She appears as if she could wrestle down most men in the village with her thick but muscly physique, notably big boned and bulky making some refer to her as a small bear or equally terrifying beasts. She has dark hair that curls as it grows out, and to keep it from being messy or getting into her face as she works, she keeps it very short. Above her large brown-colored eyes lay two thick eyebrows that help express her emotions, her face having a slight meaty chubbiness to it like a babyface except constantly covered in dirt or something else equally filthy. She has a small nose and similar lips, freckles dotting her chestnut-colored face. Agleth prefers to make her own attire, but usually just goes for something that is a bit bigger than she is for comfort. Anyone that wants to fight her on her using supplies this way definitely can.
PERSONALITY
Agleth isn't a bad woman persay; She's usually pretty chummy if not a tad on the free-speaking side. She's the type that doesn't have a filter, tends to say what she wants, and then will happily fight you if you get upset about it. Years of being judged by her own father for not being a man and treating her poorly for it has led her down a rather aggressive and tempermental path: Making demands of her is the easiest way to attract her anger and she'll relentlessly snarl and lecture until she thinks you've heard enough.
Agleth is an extremely protective person; Of her friends, but especially her blood. Her daughter is a prized jewel in the tribe in her eyes, and while she isn't safe from lectures, they come less out of actual anger and more out of fear for her safety. She isn't afraid to interrogate the youths too close to her daughter for the sake of wanting her safe; But knows that she can take care of herself and has to make her own judgement on individuals. Anyone who dares to cross boundaries and cause harm can expect Agleth to legitimately attempt to snap them in half; The woman relentlessly violent in retort to threats to her tribe as she takes no nonsense from outsiders.
That part of her terrifies even the men in the tribe; Knowing that if Agleth says something, she's willing to go through with it. Surprisingly blunt yet enthusiastic, you can't ever tell if she's joking or partially serious until it's too late. Most would decide it's best to leave the woman be; Let her work, let her keep to herself. But anyone who doesn't deserve trouble usually won't find themselves falling victim of her wrath. Unless a certain little girl starts lying.
SPECIAL SKILLS
Agleth is a shaper for a reason: She took the profession as a form of stress relief as she likes spending time working and having a reason to not be bothered. Be it a tool, a new home, or just some fancy accessory, Agleth is very crafty and can get the job done. To the surprise of some, she also has impressive trading skills: Her more fancy accessories attracting the simple-minded and allowing her to get better trade for her value. She's observant to the point of knowing when a scam was going on, and carries skepticism with every potential trade encounter with other tribes.
Other than that, Agleth is notably good at hand-to-hand combat. She has one of the strongest grips the village has ever seen; Once she grabs you, you aren't going anywhere. She'll snap limbs if necessary, showing immense brutality when threatened though is more merciful on her own tribe, insisting on knocking them out cold instead. She's also not afraid to headbutt, bite. or use dirty shots to get an advantage: Honor is a weakness in a fight, it's life or death, not some children's game.
HISTORY
Agleth was assumed male at birth: At least by her father and his eagerness to raise a son in the way of a shaper apprentice. When she was revealed to be female, he felt a ping of irritation and became more distant, leaving the girl in the care of her mother and the firetenders. She was a dependable individual; Perhaps a bit easy to anger but she got along with others quite well. Despite her younger years being distanced from her father, she still admired his building skills. While she was perfectly capable of being a hunter if she so chose, she insisted on learning to be a shaper.
This lead her to a bit of a reluctant apprenticeship with her father. He was rough on her; Insisted she toughen up more, and scolded her harshly over any small mistake while barely praising her success. This made Agleth more cold, but she learned and focused on her duties regardless. At this point in her life she was distant from most of the tribe; She felt hurt emotionally and a bit numb. At least until a boy came along.
He sat next to her while she was practicing her carving. Asked what she was trying to make. She said a stake to jab in his chest to try and get him to leave, but he laughed instead at her brutish comment. He said she was free to try, but all she'd be doing is losing a friend. She retorted they weren't friends: But he then reached out towards the carving she was surprisingly not ruining out of frustration, and he complemented her craftsmanship. She didn't respond to that, at least for a few minutes.
Eventually she thanked him, and he said their appreciation of eachother made them friends. This was gross to Agleth but she decided to tolerate and keep him around. He was a hunter apprentice by the name of Rinn, and kind of funny. As they grew up together they became better and better friends. The only person Agleth really liked being around, until he pulled her out of her shell and she got more social. As they both became full-fledged adults, they began to learn more about eachother than just friendship. They were close; Very close. And eventually, they decided to bond forever, exchanging their totems and partaking in the process of marriage.
At age 23, Agleth gave birth to a daughter. She cherished the baby girl, as did Rinn. But they both had to return to their duties and allow the young girl, named Thrinn, to be cared for by the firetenders. Things went smoothly for awhile: Both Agleth and Rinn loved to check in on their daughter and see how she was growing. It would be unfortunate that at the age of 28 Rinn had died in the wilds; Having been overcome by what could only be assumed was a vicious dire wolf, or perhaps even a pack of them. This left Agleth heartbroken, and she craved the blood of the creature that murdered her love: But never went out to seek the creature as she needed to be with the tribe for the sake of her daughter, and to provide her services to the tribe as a whole.
Ever since, she's tried to keep her positive attitude, but tends to spend time alone. She cherishes time she spends with Thrinn, and does interact with the tribe, however a looming cloud over her head keeps her down quite often, though she doesn't show it to anybody. Despite the time that had passed, she still hadn't grieved nearly enough. All she could do is carry on his will to raise a beautiful and healthy daughter, and to keep herself safe. For the sake of all he did for her, she tries her best to keep the gifts he gave to her. Especially the friendship that caused her to be the woman she is today, instead of the absolute loner she had at one point been burdened with being.
