Born in Belkzen to a human father (a captured Shoanti) and orcish mother, Zeljka Gakki was raised as a typical orcish girl until the age of ten, when she managed to escape into the Cinderlands. Miraculously, she survived the long, slow trek south, avoiding Shoanti tribes and monsters all the while until she arrived in Korvosa, where a strange and mildly crazy man took her under his wing as an adopted daughter.
Timmin Tommen Ternaldo was a hedge mage with a few screws loose, but he taught Zeljka (whom he called "Treo" for reasons only known to him) magic when she displayed a sharp mind, and found a tutor in the ways of combat so she could defend herself from the criminals so prevalent in Old Korvosa. Using her nickname full-time six years later, Zeljka entered the mercenary business, using her natural orcish heritage to its advantage. After making a name for herself in Korvosa, she struck out into the wider world, finding no shortage of work and fun, and sometimes even people who didn't give her the stink-eye when they saw her tusks. Her hard early life and natural talents led her into a number of jobs she'd rather not remember, and in recent years she's made an effort not to take on distasteful jobs anymore unless she's got no other choice. Despite that, criminal enterprise keeps calling on her thanks to a reputation she'd like to leave behind. Content to travel and see new places and magic things every day, Zeljka doesn't intend to settle down until she's dead, and maybe not even then. Personality spoiler:
Zeljka grew up amongst the poor, the criminal, the immigrants and the strange (also the mildly insane if you include her family), and learned quickly that simple pleasures are, for her at least, the best ones. She enjoys putting up her feet with a good drink in one hand and a good man on the other arm more than just about anything else.
Zeljka doesn't hide her opinions on anything, and while she understands why people need subtlety sometimes, it's not for her, and so she's never really subtle about anything (any man she's got an eye on gets propositioned in minutes, usually). She's loud, proud, and not afraid to go for the goal right from the start. While she's got a soft spot for the poor, she's not a philanthropist. She'll help people out, but almost never for free (she's gotta eat too!). If she needs information, she asks straight out. If you're reticent about giving information up, she's the bad cop and she's not afraid to beat it out of you if necessary, damn the consequences. She hates traitors, liars, and con-men of all stripes, but appreciates the skill it takes to be a really GOOD thief. She'll carouse, but if she wakes up next to you after a barely remembered night of drunken debauchery, she'll probably hit you for her mistake. Zeljka is self-reliant but open to a helping hand, and headstrong but can take suggestion if badgered enough. All in all, a strong woman who stands strong on her own two feet, sometimes too much for her own good. Appearance spoiler:
"Zeljka" stands a full six feet in height, but sometimes seems bigger, mostly when she's angry. Deep green-hued skin contrasts with the strawberry-blonde hair she inherited from her birth father, its color exaggerated by some sort of stain or dye. Said hair is tied into two smalls braids at the nape of her neck, bangs forcibly parted with steel clips at the forelock, with the rest of her head left an untamed wild mane that echoes Zeljka's boisterous personality.
A life of combat training and athletics gives her a well-defined musculature that manages to retain some feminine curves thanks to Zeljka's demanding sweet-tooth and a habit of boozing and comfort food. She keeps her bosom bound in combat situations, because really, they'd get in the way! Two amber colored eyes stare out from a well-framed face that echoes her human side more than orc, but still retains a certain animalistic cast that puts off the weak-tempered. Her jaw doesn't just out like so many half-orcs, but in trade her tusks seem to be pointed rather forward, not upward like the average member of her race. In her own words "Makes kissin' pretty damn hard." She could be considered pretty, if she weren't covered with mud and blood so often. She carries herself with poise and a small measure of grace, but mostly with danger ready to spring to the fore should it be necessary or desired. |
