CORE CONCEPTS:
Mike is serious and stoic like a typical dwarf.
Mike does not hold onto grudges like her fellows and recognizes how racist other dwarves are. While she will accidentally be racist she does not intend to be.
Mike’s clan was exiled when she was a baby, she’s gotten over it. But the rest of her family hasn’t.
Mike left her clan as soon as she came of age, stricken by a powerful wanderlust.
Soon after leaving her clan she drank to excess and after the subsequent blackout she found that she was an ordained priest of Cayden Cailean.

APPEARANCE and WRITING SAMPLE
A dwarf wearing the tan and silver vestments of Cayden Cailean enters the bar. She wears a warhammer at her hip and strokes her braided beard thoughtfully. Long locks of dark golden hair drape off of her head and nearly touch the floor. When a nearby roustabout petitions her with a drunken drawl she simply offers, while raising her hand, ”May you find wisdom in the bottom of a cup.” She cringes slightly when the man spills his drink on her, not because of the stain, which is easily fixed with a minor miracle, but because of the wasted drink.

Mike had come to Heldren through a meandering path through the now rhime coated Borderwoods and seen for herself the strange weather. She asked Cayden’s oracle, the barkeep, ”Alright you. What’s going on in this town? Clearly you need help.” Her tone was short and to the point, some might even say rude but she got a lead at least. ”Fine. I’ll go talk to this mercenary and see what he knows.”

She hadn’t chosen to wander into Heldren per se but was drawn to it for some reason. Exiting the tavern she beseeched her deity, ”What have you got me into now?”

Character Goals
Affected by a powerful wanderlust Mike wants to travel to distant lands
Not immune to the greed that curses most dwarves she wants to collect a number of precious gems and fine art worked from stone and metal.

Further Background
Mike is the granddaughter of master brewer, then Dentonet Dorndam, who frequently sold ale to a cabal of Caydenites. While this business of selling dwarven ale to humans was frowned upon it wasn’t until Dentonet sold a copy of the family recipe that she and her entire clan were exiled for treason. The family were stripped of their lands and wealth and forced to live in the wilderness. Mike was just a child.

Growing up Mike learned how to hunt and survive in the wilderness, she was also taught the secret of her family brew. But without the sophisticated equipment necessary she has yet to brew a true Dorndam ale. She often wondered what lay over the mountains and would frequently wander away, sometimes for weeks at a time, much to her worrisome father’s dismay.

On one of her walkabouts she came across a human settlement and proceeded to drink the local tavern dry. She blacked out and the next day found herself in the vestments of Cayden Cailean. She found that she was able to perform a number of miracles. After returning home she informed her parents, grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, and her brother that she was leaving the clan for good and to spread the word of the Lucky Drunk. They didn’t take it well but also could do nothing to convince her to stay.
