Description

Personality

Shnarail is driven, and is extremely wary. She cannot handle physical contact in any way that isn't nessecary for survival. Underneath, Shnarail is still hurting and in desperate need of comfort that she can't trust anyone to give. Her main goal at present is revenge.

Equipment

Shnarail doesn't have much, a tunic and loose trousers with wrapped hide boots that may have won a roughest clothing contest at some point, and her polearm. It's a shaft that stands to her height, with a wicked curved blade on one side and an axehead on the other. The butt of the shaft is weighted and has a bright red and blue bundle of feathers tied to the end. When weilding the weapon, which her people call a Thudac, the feathers create a blurr that distracts the opponent's eyes from the live end of the weapon.
Otherwise, Shnarail has nothing else of her own.

History

Shnarail was the eldest daughter of her mother, which made her royalty in her homelands of the marshes. The local tribes are Matriarchal, worshiping their Goddesses. They have a magic that is considered non-existant by others because it's a subtle magic that not just anyone can see, and is only weilded by their shaman preistesses. Shnarail was captured by a martial organization that though recognising her as a royal member and valuable, couldn't discern which tribe she was from. As such, she was deemed useless and kept around as a slave. She was starved, beaten, and raped repeatedly. Shnarail was also breifly pregnant but lost the baby, breaking her. Because of what she had suffered she was no longer royalty nor human to her tribe, so it didn't matter what she did next. Shnarail got lose one evening, and quietly, swiftly and viciously slaughtered the entire camp. She knows that the men had orders from somewhere and she wants reveng, for herself, for her family, and for her lost child she couldn't even send home properly. Because of this she believes her child to be one of the lost ghosts damned to wander the earth in torment until it is given a proper service. Shnarail speaks only broken Common though she understands more, but is fluent and eloquent in Swamp and other related dialects.
