Personality: To most, Venua comes across as a rather cold person. Her strange getup along with face paint and equally strange hairstyle(long waist-length dreadlocks) not doing her any favours. However, she is not as cold as she may seem, as she gets friendlier to those she is familiar with. Highly cynical of the world with plenty of distrustful people around, she is not one to trust anyone lightly, but she will be loyal, however once her trust has been gained. Not one to take things lightly, she is serious and calm. She has a tendency to place greed over morals which does places a pretty big dent in the trustworthy department.
Venua is incredibly daring and fearless, always stepping in the face of danger, taking up new challenges along the way. She may be daring, but she is not reckless or impulsive. She knows how much to push, and how much would be too much. Intimidation is not something new to her when she has been exposed to it for more than half of her life so far. She faces her problems head on, usually resorting to violence instead of words. She sees someone who shirks their responsibilities and combat as weak and ill-willed. When it comes to intimate relationships, Venua is inexperienced, not having the chance to be in one so far.

Childhood: Born as Uthgardt barbarians in the Black Raven tribe, she grew up to a life of hunting and traditions. Venua learnt to hunt, to fish and anything else she needed to survive in the wilds. When she was twelve, she snuck onboard her parent's raiding vessel. Not surprisingly, they were not pleased, but they were too far out at sea to turn back now. Their plans for the raid failed when they discovered that their victims must have gotten sick of losing their things and had fortified their settlements with walls and a large army. They were prepared for them and the barbarian raiders failed miserably and were slaughtered. She saw her parents die just like the rest of the tribe present and was about to follow their fate when fate intervened.
The leader of the victorious army saw that she was different from the rest, and merely a child, compared to the rest of the adults. He decided to spare her life and keep her as a slave instead. So began the second chapter of Venua's life as a slave. She desired vengeance and would have it one day. When she reached sixteen, He sold her to a recruiter who was roaming for slaves to be trained as gladiators, after a sackful of gold. Girls strong enough to fight in the arenas were rare and highly sought after. Thus began her third chapter.
Adulthood:Venua grew up into a fierce young woman. Her unrelenting spirit and perseverance has borne ample fruit as she rose from nothing into one of the arena's best gladiators. She was a natural with the longsword, and equally proficient with the use of her shield. She won match after match, be it beast or man. Fame and Infamy were born earned as she rose through the ranks. She became to be known as 'The Painted One', a nickname given because of the war paint she always has on her. After fighting her way to freedom, she swore never to be bound by such constraints ever again. Independence never felt sweeter.
Special Moments:The victorious fight where she earned her nickname after slaying an ogre at the young age of eighteen. The burst of euphoria after the fight of her life which had earned her freedom.
Current Events:Life after the arena has been blissful and free. No longer constrained by gladiatorial life, Venua joined a group of bandits for a period of time, trying out something new, but eventually getting boring of the lifestyle, she has taken to adventuring and exploring and has never felt better.
