There is no mistaking Kerta for anything other than female. Long, platinum blonde hair hits just above her tailbone and is always meticulously well kept. Her arms are lean and muscular from years of training with a bow, while the rest of her body is slim and toned. Light blue eyes sit below thick eyebrows and a beauty mark rests along her right cheekbone. She is usually dressed in hooded hunters robes that help her blend in to the night.

Kerta is not one for being pushed around or used as a doormat. She is quick to stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves, and is always outspoken and straight to the point. Having had a rough upbringing, she always opts to drink away her feelings, and is usually always drunk. Due to her past, she does not believe in a higher power and holds no respect for the churches. Her appearance is extremely important to her, so she is always well-maintained.
Born and raised in a small cabin in the Ondorro Forests, Kerta had an abusive father and a mute mother. Two younger brothers and one sister would come after her, but all had died in infancy. Her father would constantly blame the lack of food or coin on his wife and daughter, and would leave them alone for days when he decided to venture out for random jobs. Afraid to die of starvation, Kerta had taken one of her father's bows and had taught herself how to hunt.
Didn't take her long to master the skill out of necessity. However, it was not a skill that her father believed a woman should have. When Kerta became fourteen, her father sold her to a local brothel. As she continued to earn coins, she would hide a bit at a time for herself. She soon turned to ale to make herself numb to everything going on around her. When the news of her parents death reached her, Kerta escaped her employment. Taking the hidden coins, she was able to purchase a new bow and quiver, as well as her first hunting robe.
After a few years of just hunting for food, Kerta came upon a group of travelers who were being attacked by strange creatures. She was able to quickly kill the beings and the travelers rewarded her graciously for saving them. It was at that point that the woman decided to earn a living with her skill. Word soon reached the King regarding her ability to hide in the shadows and quickly take out the monster. It was at that time that Kerta was invited into the Hunter's Guild where she found her new family, and her voice. She has spent the last few years making a name for herself and moving up in the ranks of the Guild. Kerta refuses to speak of her past, and hopes that none of the men will recognize her.
