BACKGROUND:
There sits a cave in the craggy hills that hug the village of Black Tarn in the Ironbound Isles. And in this rough cave with its equally rough-hewn, heavy timbered door, sits a foul-looking and foul-tempered hag named Zarzanna. "The Crone" (as the locals call Zarzanna when they are feeling charitable) is irascible and unfriendly at the best of times. So it came as a surprise to the town when the hag was suddenly seen with an infant. Was the child hers? A foundling? Some distant kin that she had to take in?
Those questions, and more beside, would go unanswered for the next score of years as Zarzanna raised the girl named Rikka. What none of the townsfolk could imagine was that Rikka had the same questions for Zarzanna and received no answers either. What Rikka did receive, on a daily basis, was grueling labor, back-breaking chores, mind-strangling questions that led to occult lessons, and calculated cruelty from the hag. She was under-clothed, under-fed, and overworked. Rikka's days were filled working outdoors - winter or summer - in a thin woolen shift. Her life was a constant struggle against unrelenting cold and deprivation but it toughened her. (Northern Ancestry) She grew used to it all: Used to living and working while half-frozen. Used to working through hunger. And used to working magic and answering the hag's incessant questions while frozen, tired, or hurt. (Focused Mind) RACE:
Female Human (Ulfen)
Size: Medium, 5'4", 130 lbs Type: Humanoid (Human) Lang: Common, Draconic, Skald Move: 30 ft. APPEARANCE & PERSONALITY:
Rikka is a slightly built Ulfen woman with a barely controlled mane of dishwater blond hair and curiously grey eyes. Her clothes are strictly utilitarian. Beneath them, if one were given the opportunity to see, she is decorated with tattoos. The most prominent is a stylized, sinuouns dragon whose tail starts at one ankle. The gold-flecked wyrm winds up and around her leg, across her rear, and up her body - terminating in a snarling head and flexing claws at her chest and shoulder. Leaping along her back, with its ears up the back of her neck and into her hairline, is a stylized line tattoo in black and white of an arctic fox. Other tattoos are liberally placed across her arms and her other leg. They are single runes or bands of linked runes - each one a word or phrase of power.
The hag has trained, honed, and forged Rikka as a weapon, not a woman. Though she is small, the sorceress is hardy and tough - physically and mentally. She considers herself the equal of any warrior and where she might not be able to beat a man physically, she is ready to out-magic or outsmart one at every turn. Due to her strange up-bringing and foster-mother, she never learned to be tactful and diplomatic. She speaks her mind, sometimes colorfully, and a bit too candidly. Rikka is loyal to her friends, fierce in battle, and prone to bouts of grimness. She has the tenacity of a war wolf. It took many years for Rikka to realise that Zarzanna's cruelty had a purpose - to train the sorceress to be ready to fulfill a destiny of which the Hag would never speak. Those years and Zarzanna's lessons left a wound. Rikka, despite being grateful for the training and the 'home' (such as it was), nevertheless harbors a deep distrust of witches and hags. She cannot help but question their motives - even when they seem completely benign.
Being raised by the most feared woman in Black Tarn left Rikka a social pariah. Add to that her foster-mother's poor social skills... and Rikka finds herself getting into trouble in social situations.
Years of Zarzanna's systematic abuse has left her with vast amounts of self-control.
After years of working along and relying only on herself, Rikka likes working with others.
