Maja was born amongst halflings who made their home on a river. Literally. Maja was from a group of riverfolk that lived on houseboats in the Jalen River, along the border between Geoff, Sterich, and Keoland. They lived off forage, fish, and trade, finding a comfortable place to stay for a season before moving on in pursuit of new grounds. While they had claim to any particular place, they were also generally undisturbed as they plied a living in these borderlands.

While most of her kin were content to stay on the river, Maja always sought to explore further. As a child, that meant exploring the waters. And as she grew up, that meant joining every foraging party or trade mission she could in order to learn more about the world she was in. She found her place as a guard and a scout, fearlessly leading the way and warning her fellow halflings of any dangers along their travels. She was really quite useful in this regard to her fellow halflings, and as a result, many people in her community were appreciative.

Her parents, though, were getting worried. They wanted Maja to settle down, find a nice boy, build a houseboat, and have children. Maja was not yet ready for that life. "Haven't you wondered where this river goes? They say that at the end of the river is a sea, where the water stretches as far as the eye can see!"

Fortunately, one of the village elders had her back. And one day, Old Bramble made an announcement. "The elders have spoken, and we've decided that in these troubled times, our people have need of a spokesperson who will spread a message of peace and goodwill to all civilized tribes in these lands. We are proud to name Maja as our first ever ambassador!"

Privately, Maja had some inkling that she was being given cover to live her life of adventure. She needed to pay her own way, after all, and that meant putting her fighting and scouting talents to good use. But Maja took her calling seriously. She explored the lands by the Jalen River and represented her people in word and deed, drifting ever southward in the quest to see where the river she called home finds its end. Now, as she finds herself by the Hool Marshes, she cannot help but be drawn to the opportunity that has seemingly fallen out of the sky.

Maja loves excitement and novelty, driven most of all by an intense curiosity about both the lands and the peoples around her. She has a knack for making fast friends and contacts. Despite being an adventurer, her country values cause her to see the world simply, in terms of good and evil, right and wrong, though she may have a tendency to justify the occasional lie or act of mischief as for the greater good. She is generally cheerful and eager to be of service, optimistic to the point of excess. She is quite sure that whatever misadventure she pursues next will go swimmingly, even though she is more likely to improvise than put together a specific plan.
