*History and Experiences Which have Affected Character Greatly: Born of a curious Nordic shepherdess and a horny Unicorn that didn't leave a name. She was distrusted in the tight farming community, but the Tor Priest called her a blessing, so she was tolerated.</P><P>She quickly drifted away from the village on adulthood. They had taken up Viking, and they felt bad.She fell in with an old hedge witch that taught her the art. She took to it easily due to her nature. Later about 1080 she encountered Merlin in the guise he used at the time. They became friends, both long lived creatures out of time. He taught her the art of the magician. Along the way she learned to fight, more of necessity than desire. The greedy rich and powerful wanted her as a possession, not a friend. She took to hiding.</P><P>Gróður drifted east across the mass of Asia and found things no different. The Chinese Emperors if anything were worse than their western counterparts.</P><P>Around 1600 she crossed the Bering Sea and drifted south into the pacific northwest. She found comfort in the temperate rain forest. The natives more or less left her alone. She continued to wander up and down the length of the Western Mountains.</P><P>Then she found the Paladin. No shining armor, and he packed a six gun, but he put the good before all else. Sadly Parker Ashby's enemies, and a man that will uphold the law in the west gained many, found her. They shot her to spite him. The wound was above her ability to heal herself, she could keep up with it, but not win. The pain was to great to use her spells. She used her ace in the hole and called an old friend, Merlin.</P><P>Merlin's spell set was of little help. He threw a hail Mary in setting her up in stasis, with Parker making arrangements to contact the future, when Merlin knew there would be more magic, but not how, or exactly when. If nothing else, better medicine.</P><P>Then Steven Ashby got the letter....</P><P>Gróður and the resurrected Parker are living in the Ashby circle while they get their feet under them. They are not broke as Parker had several hundred in Silver Morgan dollars, and that went for about 70 bucks each. So worth several hundred dollars in real money. Each was also given $70,000 as time refugees.</P><P>Gróður has gotten work in child care and Parker is doing security at the WDP to mainly have something to do. He is also picking up a rapid education from the Ane around the place.
