Background/Personality:
Background/Personality
Even small towns boast a brothel. The madam of the Dancing Whip is an older woman now, but in her day they say she was the town's beauty, and even pushing fifty the men of Daggermark speak appreciatively of Verella's charms.
It's a damned pity her daughter didn't inherit a one of them, eh?
Most people are surprised indeed when they learn that the quiet, big girl who works at the Dancing Whip as bartender/bouncer/whatever else needs doing is the madam's daughter-- Zinny stands near six feet tall, and has been mistaken for a man by more than one patron, due to her brawny shoulders, plain face, and hands the size of dinner plates.
If she had been born a boy, perhaps life would have been simpler for her. As it is, she's grown up conscious that she entirely lacks the feminine grace her mother so easily wields-- as a result, she's shy, awkward, and nervous in most social situations. She has a habit of slouching to try and appear shorter, and of staring at her feet. She figures all she's good for is to draw the ale for the brothel's guests, haul the barrels up from the cellar, run errands for her mother, clean the brothel.... and throw those who misbehave out the front door.
In this latter task, she's assisted by a stout piece of oak (formerly a fence post that she wrenched out of the earth one day) that she uses as a club, should her scowl and big fists not convince an unruly patron to leave.
Every now and then that quiet and meek exterior dissolves into a yelling, table-flipping anger, usually when Zinny sees someone being bullied by someone stronger than they are, or one of the drunks pawing at the brothel girls. Zinny has a hard time standing up for herself, but she's also got a lifetime of repressed anger that will explode when she sees someone else, especially someone small or weak, being treated poorly. She is always quite mortified after any of these outbursts, and skulks around for a few days trying to be a church-mouse. Which is hard when you're six feet tall.
Zinny is very protective of the girls of the tavern (and other underdogs) and has a good heart. She just needs to find some courage and self-esteem to go with her decent impulses.
