## Biography

### The Joining

Pym is brought before the Red Spear when she is caught sneaking onto the Red Spear's Viking ship. The Red Spear wants Pym killed immediately, as she correctly believes Pym to be Fey and is wary of Fey-folk. However, one of her sailors, Dof, comments that the Fey folk are healers and they could use a new healer. Pym is therefore allowed to join the vessel's crew as a healer.

### Bring Us In Good Ale

The Red Spear comes to Pym, telling her that she's been caught by a villager's ax and ordering her to stitch up her wound. While Pym tries to do so, she rages about how nobody on Beggar's Coast has any money and orders that the crew set sail for Black Chain instead. Pym is upset by this, as she wants to remain on Beggar's Coast to try to find her friend Nimue, but the Red Spear comments that she mistakes her for someone who gives a shit. Pym then manages to talk her into remaining on Beggar's Coast by telling her that she's been stealing from the twice-robbed. She says that they should be stealing from the Red Paladins, who are the ones who have been terrorizing the countryside and therefore have all the riches. The Red Spear stands, calling Pym a lousy healer, but then orders her crew to remain on Beggar's Coast. Later, as the crew goes out on a raid, she hands Pym an axe, telling her that they need a healer onsite and she's to go with Dof and his team.

### The Sacrifice

The Red Spear and her forces join with the Fey in their battle against Cumber the Ice King as they try to escape to the sea on ships provided by King Uther Pendragon. Riding a white horse, she orders her forces to kill all of Cumber's raiders, but to leave Dagmar to her. She races into battle, killing many, eventually catching up with Dagmar and telling her that Cumber can't protect her. The two fight, and she gets an assist from Arthur, who downs Dagmar with an arrow to the back. She then stabs Dagmar in the heart, telling her that the Ice King's throne will be hers and to tell her sister Eydis that she's next.

## Personality

She is a fearsome raider captain and often has a short temper. Despite this, she is not stupid and is willing to listen to reason. She is also willing to make allies, even with those she may have feared before, if she believes it will help her cause.

## Relationships

### Fey Kind

The Red Spear made peace and ally with Fey kind when the Ice Kingdom attacked them.

### Pym

She enlisted Pym as a healer on her vessel. She did not think much of her skills, but nevertheless had no choice due to the death of her previous healer. Pym convinced her to remain on Beggar's Coast, as she had been "stealing from the twice-robbed" and it was a smart idea to steal from the Red Paladins, who were on Beggar's Coast and had been the ones doing the stealing.

### Arthur

She saved his life and Arthur saved hers while battling the Ice King's army.
