Helayne
Hunter of the Wilds
![]() |
||||||||||||||
Helayne's build is one on the average side. She is taller than most women, her body lean but muscular. Years of physical labor and poverty have made her strong. Her skin seems to hold a permanent tan from long hours outside, a light dusting of sun painted freckles adorn the bridge of her nose and under her cheeks. Helia bears brilliant blue eyes, a marker of her father and her family line. Her face is lean and narrow, generally baring a stoic expression. Long blonde hair, near white, falls to just about her waist. It often has some sort of braidwork. Standing out against the slender lines of her throat is a striking intricate black ink tattoo. Down her slender forearms are similarly made tattoos. Hel is often found in clothing meant more function then flair, with little adornment to them. Her only requirement is they must hide the risen scars along her back created by the lashings of a whip, and marring the dark ink of a previous tattoo. Her only consistent accessories are a rather old but beautiful bow and quiver pair that belonged to her father and a silver half moon around her neck. Despite her status as a traveler and hunter, she rarely is found wearing shoes since she has left the colder lands of the north where she was born. Though rarely worn, she does have a few traditional pieces of jewelry that belonged to her mother.
Helia is a strong minded and determined young woman. She is steadfast in her beliefs, but open to challenging them when necessary. She has shown immense bravery in her past, not without fear, but with an ability to overcome and continue to push on even in the face of the most extreme circumstances. Helia grew up without her father, and thus knows him only through stories and legends told to her by her mother and older brothers. She grew up idolizing him, determined to seek justice for his murder and to somehow make him proud. She has been known to have a rather barbed tongue at times, easily speaking her mind and standing up for those she feels are not being treated fairly. Things hidden can often be a source of unease for her. She has a thirst for knowledge and learning. She has a severe distrust to those who seem they have things to hide. She is very fact based, strategic, and almost painfully realistic.
Mostly some notes for myself ^^ Halfdan: An old blacksmith of the settlement, still alive due to traveling at the time of the attack. A peg leg and a massive scar across his right eye, resulting in blindness and a moon eye. The other is blue. Dark black hair and tan skin. Missing a couple fingers. Was her father's closest friend and watched over the Ilirium kiddos after his death. He currently lives and works as a blacksmith in Kaisermont. Helayne regularly takes animals hides and dried meat to him to both gift and also for him to sell. Henry: A boy she escaped with as a captive. They were separated almost immediately after and she's never found him again. Kerigan: A boy her mother tried to betroth her to, especially after the death of her father. Strong and bold, he was kind but overly confident. Brown hair and dark eyes. They'd been close as children and shared a romp or two as young lovers, but she'd not dared to think of him as more then that. Died bravely in the second attack on their village, trying to protect Hel and her mother. Freya: a dapple bay mare with a rather aggressive temperament. Her father was known for breeding horses and she is one of the last of his line. A gift from her brother as a foal. Sif: A silver hawk, mild tempered, who follows Hel since they saved one another. Ghost: A white direwolf. Highly prophetic from her past, a direwolf chooses it's master they believed, a gift of the goddess. When chosen, the bond is unbreakable. He is a loyal companion, protector and friend. Heimdall - Oldest brother Bjorn - second eldest brother Eskel - Third oldest brother Leif - fourth oldest brother. |
