Bali isn't the prettiest Dwarf, but wouldn't be mistaken for a male Dwarf either. Her brown hair dangles around her face and down her royal blue cape, hiding little of her face and less of the menacing Longhammer and Greatsword strapped to her back. She does not boast of her battle prowess, but few would question it. Born in a time where the Dwarves were in decline, her parents started her training for war at a very early age. Constant exercise and a meager study routine kept Bali busy as a youth, preparing her for what was hoped to be either the Dwarves return to their rightful place among the races of the world, or their glorious last stand.
Bali was a favorite niece of Magnar Tharnhammer. Her adeptness in battle earned her the name Tharnhammer when her parents were slain by Drow using their cowardly ways. Though captured and enslaved for a time, Bali never relented and eventually escaped, nearly unheard of for a Drow's slave. Bali Tharnhammer swore revenge and was given the Tharnhammer Longhammer, an instrument of war she wields with a fiery passion, when she returned to the Dwarves.
Bali respects all her elders, but Magnar holds a special place in her heart for what he did for her when her parents died. She is quick to order others in battle, however, emulating her father. If an elder would simply ignore her in such a case, she would likely lose her inhibitions and charge head long into the heart of the battle to prove that she is a force to be reckoned with, as well as someone worthy of a leadership position.
Bali represents the change that the Dwarves must make to survive, and takes pride in her brashness in battle.

Relationships:
Grimdahl 95 (Druid) - Cousin by Bali's adoption, Bali regards Grimdahl with strange admiration, remembering him as a jovial, brother like friend. Now Grimdahl, returned from an inexplicable absence, is a Druid. Confused, but curious, Bali can't wait to get to know him better.
Ingrid 70's (Warpriest) - Bali doesn't know whether to pity or envy Ingrid. In such a short period, Ingrid was scared for life by the hated Drow, yet Bali, having been held captive and enslaved for years, bore nothing more to show for it than a furious hatred for them. Bali respects Ingrid greatly for being able to go on, though. Bali wants to find a kinship in Ingrid, but fears it will be difficult because of Ingrid's disposition towards the Tharnhammer name.
Kalderin 60 (Bard) - Bali has heard the rumors surrounding Kalderin's heritage, but can only surmise that this Dwarf is unlike those spoken of in such rumors. Still, Bali would keep an eye on Kalderin, hoping that her instincts are wrong.
Nurin ?? (Magus) - Bali, not sure of what oath Nurin spoke of the first time they met, assumes that Nurin's family was some sort of ceremonial guard for the Tharnhammers, perhaps fallen into disgrace. She generally likes his attitude, though, and finds him an admirable Dwarf, even if his battle prowess might rely on magics she doesn't understand.
Pravic 49 (Paladin) - Obviously proud and cunning, Bali has the utmost respect for Pravic and his station, and would likely be willing to die defending the Dwarf given the chance.
Reginald 260 (Wizard.Conj) - Keenly aware of his superior age, Bali finds Reginald to be a likely source of knowledge and leadership. Especially in her kin's heritage. Bali, not certain where she falls in Reginald's view of her, doesn't want to upset the old one. Though, from what she has seem of him, that would likely not happen anyways. Maybe one day, in the halls of Dammerhall, others will look to Bali in the same, inspiring light.
Knivey Ivy (Ivy) - Svirfneblin Gnome found in tunnel leading to Fasturvault. Friendly.
Scorpions - Why would they attack us? They've made the list...
Campaign Notes - People:
Geiri, son of Guide. Deceased: Lord of Fasturvault, is a friend of Dwarves. We should obtain help in the form of a guide from him.
Zaraketh - A great Mithral mine suspected of containing a seventh entrance to Dammerhall.
Campaign Notes - Locations:
Fungal Jungle - We need to return here to gather spores for the defense of our stronghold.
