Background:
Generations ago, her ancestors fled Irrisen and the tyranny of the ice witches. Perhaps they had a little... outside help with it, perhaps they didn't. What is certain is that seventeen years ago Inga Einarsdottir birthed a demonic-looking child. Her Taldorian husband snatched the babe from the midwife and strode out of the door, his boots crunching on the freshly-fallen snow. Weak from childbirth and blood loss, Inga tried to crawl after him, but only managed a few paces before losing consciousness. When she awoke, it was too late. The babe was gone, left in the depth of the forest to die of exposure.

But it did not die. The hag Mahb found it a few days later while foraging for herbs, purple with cold but still alive. On an impulse, she took it back to her cave. It was a close thing, but the child lived. Mahb fed it donkey milk until it was old enough to eat solids, then switched it to a diet of mushrooms and grubs. She named the girl (for it was a girl) something that sounded strange to Taldan ears, but to Mahb it reminded her of her long-lost home.

The girl was not stupid, so Mahb taught her a few things: herbs and berries, mushrooms and flowers, mixing this and that to make a cure or a poison, even a spell or two. What Mahb didn't teach her, didn't have to, was that she was different. They were both different. Heldren was a small place, with small-minded people. The girl could see how they shunned Mahb in the daylight, while at night they came furtively to ask for help with this or that problem. And Mahb had painted a vivid picture of what the villagers would do if they ever saw Yrja - mothers snatching their children away when she approached, the children themselves throwing rocks and sticks at her, dogs barking like mad. It made her sad, but what could you do?

Appearance, Personality and Quirks:
Yrja sees herself as ugly and deformed, which is a source of constant anguish for someone who finds such joy in beauty. The faint purple cast to her skin and the blackened lips and fingernails make her look like she's suffering from permanent frostbite and her pale blue, almost white irises contribute to that impression. Two small, sharp horns sprout from her forehead and she has a bony ridge above her eyes which make her look angry, although she seldom is. The severe exposure immediately after her birth and years of malnutrition have made her physically frail. She is quite short and very thin, her shoulders hunched forward as if she expects to be hit (or perhaps unconsciously imitating Mahb). Unlike Mahb, however, she takes good care of herself. She bathes daily, even in mid-winter, and the chill of the water doesn't seem to bother her. Yrja's black-and-red hair is always brushed and she keeps it neatly in place with strips of fabric or deft braids. Not content to wear rags, she has learned to use needle and thread to fashion herself clothes in pleasingly matched colours and patterns.

Personality and quirks:

  • - Yrja is quite awkward in social situations, as she was raised in isolation (if one doesn't count Mahb). She rarely understands humour, but has a decent sense for sarcasm (although she doesn't use it herself). Her vocabulary contains a surprising amount of curses and profanities, but she's not completely aware of their meaning and sometimes (mis)uses them casually in conversation.
  • - She considers her tiefling features as deformities and tries her best to conceal them. One time when she was six she spent four days wearing a mud mask to try and hide the unusual hue of her skin. She also tried to cut off her horns, but the pain was so great that she passed out. One of her horns bears a scratch from that attempt.
  • - Raised by a grouchy, sometimes overbearing old woman, she is shy and insecure. She hesitates to speak unless spoken to and is quite timid around people.
  • She is distrustful of written words. Mahb has taught her how to read and write, but just barely. She can read Common with difficulty and her writing is like a 7 year old's, but she does have a talent for spoken languages and knows no less than six.

Goals and Connections:
  • - Yrja's ultimate goal is to build a good reputation for herself and be judged on her own merits and not based on her heritage.
  • - She is also curious about her human roots and what caused the taint in her blood; she knows the identity of her parents and that her mother's family came to Heldren from the far north, just like Mahb. One day she would like to see those lands.
