Appearance
Abzug's build is amazonian, simultaneously muscular and lithe, more akin to one of the great predator cats than a bear. Her skin is green, she has undercuts on both sides of her head. The hair that remains is a lustrous black mane, worn long in a pair of loose braids that end in iron rings. Abzug also has matching black tattoos with a sleeve-like design that covers her biceps, with a bear paw on her shoulders. She tends to wear sleeveless clothes that leave these tattoos on display, preferring practical clothing that allows for ease of movement. She can't remember the last time she wore a skirt, generally preferring breeches.

10 Minute Background:
Five Things:
• Abzug is descended from orks reject worship of the gods, claiming to have killed the orcish gods that created them to be slaves in a war against the gods of the humans and other demihuman races.
• Abzug prefers to communicate through actions and deeds rather than words, and so prefers messages that are easier to communicate with actions and deeds.
• Abzug is proud of her ork heritage. She is unapologetic and unashamed of being an ork, and sees no contradiction between this and maintaining cordial relations with races that, on other worlds, might consider orcs natural enemies.
• Abzug is adopted. Her heritage can be traced back to the Shadow Steppers tribe, but her adopted father, Balthor, an ork preacher of the godless gospel of pain and freedom to orcs from across other Material Planes, is from the Guile of Khusmet tribe.
• Despite her disdain for divinities themselves, Abzug tries (though does not always succeed) to judging mortal servants of the divine by their actions and not their beliefs, just as she hopes that those of other races will judge her not by her race but by her actions.

Two Goals:
• Abzug wants to convince her father that her approach to spreading the ideas of rejecting ork gods in favor of freedom is valid (not necessarily superior, but valid) and when she dies, to leave both orcs across the planes, the ork race, and Hyraeatan better than when she came into the world.
• For Abzug to obtain an orc hornbow worthy of becoming a legendary item.

Two Secrets:
• Abzug has kept knowledge of the Telesma secret from all but Illyat, fearing that if her father were to know she is in possession of a direct link to the progenitor of her Shadow Stepper heritage, it might strain their relationship beyond hope of repair.
• When the progenitor of the Shadow Steppers tribe, Tuvanka, murdered Shuvalah, the trickster god of the orc pantheon, and ate his heart, she gained his powers, but also inherited the dark bargain Shuvalah had made with dark things to make his power. This dark bargain hangs over all Shadow Steppers, a dark secret they keep form the other tribes. (See Illyat, under People for more.)

Three People:
• Balthor, Abzug's foster father, is an ork of the Guile of Khusmet Tribe and a preacher of the godless gospel of pain and freedom to orcs from across other Material Planes. He and Abzug love one another, but do not see eye to eye on how to spread the word to orcs of other worlds, with Abzug favoring spreading word by action rather than her father's methods.
• L'Kor, a brewkeeper devotee of Cayden Cailean who runs Abzug's favorite bar. Despite their differences of opinion, Abzug respects that on any given day, it's a coin toss which one of them drinks the other under the table. It doesn't hurt that whenever he comes up with a wild, new concoction, he'll give her a free sample in exchange for her feedback.
• "Illyat"/??? the gavah, the blood shaman, of orkish Guile of Khusmet tribe located in Hyraeatan is, in fact, Abzug's birth mother. Having recognized her daughter's potential at birth, the Shadow Stepper master of disguise has spent the years since Abzug's birth grooming her birth daughter as a sacrifice to those dark things, pushing Abzug to her full potential, much like fattening a calf.

Memories:
• Abzug strongly remembers her father's participation in defending Hyraeatan against the Lightbringer Incursion, fighting alongside him to protect their adopted home.
• Similarly, she remembers how viciously she and her father fought when he decided after the end of the Incursion that rather than continue spreading word of the orks by example and deed, he instead returned to his preaching across the Material planes using Hyraeatan as his base of operations.
• The first time her father took her with him to a Material plane, realizing how large the world outside Hyraeatan itself was, how radically different as she stared up into a wide blue sky, awestruck by the infinite possibilities of the planes. One thing she misses most about no longer accompanying him and acting as his bodyguard is that she no longer travels as widely nor sees as many worlds anymore.
