ESSENTIALS - Name: Solveig Putzer (Solveig meaning "sun's strength, Putzer means mender)
Nickname: Sola
Age: 20
Social Class: Peasant
Occupation: Farmer
APPEARANCE
Sturdy, muscular, but not particularly heavy, an impressive 5,7" in height, Sola looks like a girl who can stand for herself in a fight, and her strong arms and heavy punches stand testament to that fact. Her long, pale(near white in color with tints of honey)braid is her most distinctive feature, and is the only "womanly" feature of herself that she cares about. Her face is, in theory, quite feminine, but she chooses to ignore the callings of beauty, and as such it has over the years attained a rough, seemingly gender-neutral tone. Her lips are often chapped and her hands are calloused from the work out in the cold. Her eyes are a steel grey with small tints of blue, contrasting with her pale skin and reflecting her no-nonsense attitude.
She wears long, water-proof Svhel-furred pants and thick boots covered with Skhal skins and scales to prevent leaking from when she wades into the icy water. Her upper body is covered with layer upon layer of furs that allow her to stay warm while in frigid conditions. Overall, without the aforementioned braid Sola can easily be mistaken for a male, which does not bother her in the slightest. Practicality is key, and as long as the giggles of other girls don't affect her work, Sola is perfectly fine with losing face.
PERSONALITY
Sola was raised by a blacksmith, and adopted his pragmatic attitude before he passed on. People are judged on their character and attitude towards work, not their appearance, and a hard-working peasant will be welcome to spend a night in her house, while a pampered Noble will be greeted with distaste, if accepted because of their social standing. For this very same reason Sola is not afraid to wade out into the water: being able to work at a job that she finds interesting and challenging is worth the relatively small risk of being Touched.
Sola can easily be identified as a tenacious workaholic, and can sometimes forget to sleep while out in the deep caves, searching out Creeping Vines. She prefers silence, and is generally uncomfortable talking to her peers, but she will gladly point out the shortest route to another farmer or offer a few words of support to a familiar trader. If asked, she will be happy to help fix a broken wheel or patch some torn pants, but if you engage her in a lengthy conversation she will try her best to slip away. She does not mind talking to Hunters as much, however, as they are often cut from the same cloth as her: they tend to be straightforward and to the point, which suits Sola just fine.
Sola has only two true dreams: One is to obtain a Wulfkind, whose strength and loyalty she has admired from childhood. Such a companion would be most welcome in her occupation, and Sola stares longingly at postal Wulfkinds carrying messages through the city, hoping that one day she, too, will walk proudly with a devoted friend at her side. The second is much harder to achieve and is more of a fantasy than anything: to own a coat made from a Marwyn's pelt. In her most beautiful dreams Sola wears this lavish, impossibly soft fortune, and, sometimes, when the chatter of the crowd gets into her head and makes her ears ring, she wonders about becoming a Hunter and hunting down the most majestic and dangerous of beasts...
ABILITIES
Sola has a very good "sense" for searching out... Well, anything. She can spot a Sweetberry in the dim light faster than another man can adjust to the dark, or find a lost hammer by looking in the one place everyone else forgot. It never takes her more than an hour to find a particular bar or tavern, even when all the instructions she has is "It's somewhere around the lower side of the Artisan district," Pair that with her unyielding attitude towards achieving her goals or paying her debts, and you find that she makes a perfect Harvester.
She has a knack for patching things up, as well: coats, boots, hats, wheels - you name it, anything to save a coin. She has a very weak education, however, and can - at most - read shop signs and scrawl her name. Social norms, politics, lies, charisma - Sola simply cannot figure them out. Facing obstacles of the straightforward kind - breaking up a bar fight, finding a Sweetwater, fixing her coat - is Sola's strong suit.
Another noteworthy ability is her resistance towards sickness in general. Spending days wading in frigid water with only a water proof layer of Svhel fur between her and the cold has built up her immunity considerably, and it is rare for her to even catch a cold.
HOBBIES
Making friends with Wulfkinds from around the city, Listening to tales about the Marwyn in taverns, Watching blacksmiths work, Admiring weaponry.
