Heidi of Gatteby

Lunatics of Lunarath (formerly)

The Volsung

**Heidi of Gatteby** is a human Volsung from Gatteby. From working for her King as a monster hunter, to traveling with the Lunatics of Lunarath, Heidi prefers life on the dirt path. She is a follower of Dragos, and often seeks her out through prayer, to get advice on a tough situation.

## **Description**

### **Appearance**

Heidi is a 191cm tall woman with pale skin, and curly red hair that falls down on her shoulders. Her eyes reflect the Moons of Dragos, leaving them to look like a starry purple sky. Small scars are present everywhere on her body, most noticeably a very large scar is present on both her back and stomach, from a deadly strike that was dealt under The Orc Attack (name will come).

She wears armour in the style of her home, Gatteby and the larger Gateru pact. It features both leather and chain-mail blended into a fashionable design, that proudly shows off her roots. On her back, a shield is strapped up ready to be taken into hand. Under the shield she has a nicely crafted sheathe for her sword, that isn't troubled by the removal of the shield. On her hip she has a special sheathe for her iconic Hammer.

### **Personality**

Heidi does her best to keep her conscience clear, and her morale high. She values trust and respect above all else, and has a hard time dealing with people who shows no signs of these traits. Having been raised in a royal environment, Heidi has a sense for keeping things classy, as well as knowing how people of higher standings act.

She is also a firm believer of giving people second chances, having done so herself many times. She does her best to be there for the little man or woman, and other. She is not searching for glory or fame, when she does a good deed, she would rather just have the coin than be well known.

Also, being from Gatteby has raised her with a warrior spirit. She was once more brawn than brain, yet following her initiation in the Volsung, she has gained a heightened sense of wisdom and her senses were sharply increased. This has resulted in her giving up her former aggressive fighting methods, for a more sophisticated spellcaster route.

### **Weaponry**

Heidi was gifted with a powerful hammer by the church of Dragos in Gatteby, following her effort in a conflict that rose. Since then, the hammer has become her favorite weapon. Faithkeeper, the hammer is called. A fitting name for the purpose it is used for. Additionally, she has a master-crafted silvered sword, which was looted of off Kohrovan, following the elimination of the Brotherhood.

## **Biography**

### **Early Life**

Heidi grew up at an orphanage in Gatteby, where she spent the first 10 years of her life. When she turned 10, things changed. She was brought before the king, who deemed her to be a possible valuable asset. From there on Heidi trained day in, day out. She was trained in the way of the sword, hammer and archery. When she wasn't training, she read up on the different kinds of monsters the world could throw at her. For 9 long years, she trained to become the royal monster hunter.

She took down her first monster at the age of 16, and didn't stop there. Slaying foes by delivering hefty blows, Heidi cemented herself as a valuable asset to The Throne of Gatteby.

### **Hatred of Orcs**

Following an attempted attack by orcs, Heidi has been left with a deep hatred for the species as an entirety. She has had many altercations with orcs, at one point saving a bard Braier, who would go on to write songs about his life being saved by Heidi. The defining moment of both her career and the moment that made her hate orcs completely, was The Orc Attack (name will come).

She had been assigned a battalion of men, who she would lead into battle. Her and her army was supported by the powerful bard, Nymeria Harper.

### **Finding Allies**

Heidi had been tasked with finding information about Iaxylx, The Venom Bane, who had recently attacked the city of Kaldakvisl. She decided to go to Ystrehgar, for she had heard it was a free city, and it was outside the jurisdiction of The Summerfall Empire. Upon her arrival, she was met by trouble at an instant. Walking down the streets, she heard.

### **Return to Gatteby**

After the failed attempt at infiltrating the Brotherhood of Eldjakaar, Heidi had been marked by Kohrovan. She decided to rush home, in hope of getting rid of her fiendish mark, and

### **Fighting the Gith**

As a result of the Firewall Incident, Heidi and her party engaged in war with the powerful Githyankies.

### **Leaving the Party**

After the dust had settled, Heidi decided to confront the party about some feelings she had carried for a while. From her distrust in Jarro, to her concerns about working with Ash'air, Heidi decided to train for the Dragon with the Volsung, a group she had recently become a member of. She bid her farewell to the party, giving Jarro her magical gloves as a last laugh at his nickname, glove guy, before riding off on her horse, Ingolf.
