Wow, a lot of activity in just one day! Here is the submission for Evelyn Clay.

Wibeke was born in the distant Lands of the Linnorm Kings, in a small community just outside Kalsgard on the shores of the Steaming Sea. The daughter of carpenters, her childhood is filled with memories of construction, warehouses, and close-knit family. Her large stature and quick reflexes led them to believe she was destined to be a warrior in the service of clan and kin. And for the most part, they were right.
The trouble began with her sixteenth birthday. Typicaly seen as the transition into adulthood among the Ulfen, a loud and prolonged argument ensued concerning Wibeke's future in the family business when she announced that she was intent on finding fortune on the high seas. It ended with Wibeke storming out of her clan house, craving space and isolation from the pressures of home. She began with enlisting with the first mercenary company she came across. In her haste, she signed for a tour of duty with a marines company based out of Riddleport that protected merchant shipping on the long route to Korvosa and beyond. Despite a rough start, and the inevitable jokes concerning a barbarian woman on a boat, she quickly adapted to life on the seas. Her acrobatics, sharp senses, and skill in close-quarters combat made her a fine shipboard combatant. After several successful tours of duty, she was promoted to sergeant and given command of her own platoon of marines. Her latest assignment is aboard the Jenivere, bound for distant Eleder.

Normally a friendly but disciplined woman, most note her for her firm fairness in directing her men and lack of guile in her dealings. The rest note her for the fierce temper that flares whenever she is provoked, changing her normally friendly demeanor disturbingly quickly. She finds great satisfaction in maintaining security on-board and secretly looks forward to taking the fight to pirates, though she would never admit that to others.
