About Tuva HalgraDescription:
Image
Age: 15; Height: 6'4"; Weight: 250 lbs At first glance she looks human. But she is not beautiful by any standard. She looks too big. She is too strong. Her face is too rough. She grew up too fast. But she seems human nevertheless. Her voice, maybe a little too coarse, is undeniably feminine. But she is HUGE for a girl. Much more if you know she is only 15 years old. I mean, she looks young, specially her eyes, betraying some youthful innocence, but that can't hide the fact that she is bigger and stronger than most fully grown man. Her factions are hard, her hair black and coarse, but even so she has no body hair at all (a fact a learned person would identify as a sign of her Orc parentage). She tries, maybe too hard, to be feminine, and human. But she can't avoid the allure of working outside, and do physical intensive activities. And now she is enjoying more and more the thrill of combat, the ecstasy of letting all of her pretensions and lies go away, rage, and fight with abandon, letting a previously dormant part of herself explode in a storm of strength and fury. When you see her arrive you have to imagine she is a very strong girl, carrying all of her weapons, greatsword and throwing axe at the waist, lance on her back, a sling tied up on her left forearm, hopeknife proudly shown on her breast, while moving with grace and speed, as if all that metal is nothing. Her dress is very humble, just normal peasant clothes, covered by a used and somewhat ill fitting chain shirt armor. She normally covers her hair with a varisian scarve, but tied up in a Ulfen cold weather way. Biography:
Daughter of Halgra of the Blackened Blades, another of her numerous descendants, she is by far the biggest and strongest of them, both male and female.
If you are not from Trunau you would think she is a human girl, even if unblessed by beauty, but huge and strong. But the locals residents know she is really a Half Orc, even if, by the will of the Gods, she looks very much like her mother, and nothing like the orc father she never knew. She normally works in Trunau as a Blacksmith, as she has done for several years. But she is starting to spend more time with the militia, fighting alongside Patrol Captains Kurst and Rodrik Grath (and developing a crush on them both). She has learned to use her new puberty-appearing rage to become a fierce warrior, invaluable in their fight against orcs and other menaces to town. Internally she is ashamed she is half orc. A creature. A wolf in sheep clothing. She cries frequently, at night, invaded by big melancholies, fearing no one will never love her. GM Information:
Tuva Halgra is a Half-Orc trying too hard to pass as human. She has the Pass as Human Feat (which greatly helps her maintain the illusion she is a normal human girl), the Almost Human Trait (further helping her Disguise) and finally many Alternate Racial Traits (which take away the Darkvision, Ferocity and Weapon familiarity normal or Orcs).
She is a Trunau Native (Trait), and I took the liberty of making her one of the multiple daughters of Halgra, some of which are mentioned to be Half-Orcs. One Close Friend: Ruperta Sloboda, an orphan Varisian girl, feminine and charming, the role model for Tuva on what being a "normal" human girl really is. Ruperta likes to hang out with Tuva, and learned to appreciate her less beautiful friend, and they have both grown to thrust and love each other, promising to be best friends forever. Ruperta is growing at a slower pace than her friend, and has no interest on joining the Patrol (which Tuva is growing to like more and more). Ruperta is becoming a very beautiful woman, and without Tuva's protection would be an easy prey for many a man in town. Tuva Halgra
