## == History ==

As a newborn she was dropped on the doorstep of retired adventurer and renowned Runesmith, and aptly named, Rurik Goldforge and his wife Rundona. Never having children of their own do to Rurik's adventuring career Rundona was more than excited to take care of the small golden skinned babe. She grew up in the blink of an eye to her adoptive parents given how long it takes for dwarves to mature, and by the time she was only four seasons old she was as tall as Rurik! She showed an interest and an aptitude for her father's work and by the age of seven began training to be a smith. However at the age of nine tragedy struck when she stumbled while carrying a crucible of molten steel, it sloshed on to her face destroying her nose and part of her left cheek. Undaunted the disfigured girl, while being embarrassed about her appearance, continued to strive for excellence in the forge her face being a reminder of how a simple mistake can cause major complications. The years passed and as Gullna continued to grow Rurik and Rundona remodeled their home and workshop to accommodate the young girl that now towered over them at a height of over seven feet. Shortly after the renovations were completed she became frustrated at a project that just wasn't turning out right and in her angered state struck the horn of an anvil causing it to crack. She was mortified by what she had just done. However being raised in the the teachings of the great Torag she confessed to her father what she had done in her fit of rage. Ready and reticent to be punished for her misbehavior she was shocked when her father burst out laughing. Not only was he not mad he was overjoyed that the wee little gold nugget he took in had grown into such a fine strong young woman. In honor of her feat he gave her the name Anvilcracker. A moniker that she carries proudly to this day. After turning 16 she eagerly awaits the day that she can undergo the mentor ritual so that she can become an adventurer just like her beloved father!

## == Appearance ==

Gullna being of the Aphorite has dazzling golden skin and hair like silver silk. Somewhere in her lineage perhaps her mother, grandmother or even far beyond that Oni blood was introduced by one of her ancestors. This fact is all but a given due to her physical characteristics. She bares all the hallmarks of her monster-girl heritage with her horns, sharp teeth and imposing muscular frame standing at the towering height of seven feet nine inches. (Not counting her horns if you ask) She would be quite beautiful if not for the fact that her nose and most of her left cheek are missing due to an unfortunate childhood accident. This however doesn't take away from her intelligent and piercing platinum gaze. When she's not in her forge clothes she prefers to dress in loos flowing clothes that secure around the ankles and wrists. However unless she's eating she constantly wears the face covering that her father made for her hiding her missing nose and damaged cheek.

## == Personality ==

Cautious and reserved due to her appearance she strives for perfection in everything she does. This pursuit of perfection however is a double edged sword and has led her to intrinsically distrust equipment that she herself hasn't crafted. It also extends itself to her behaviors as well having learned early in life that not only is she a terrible liar but it almost sickens her to speak falsehoods, this being the case she is honest to a fault and always strives to do the right thing. She has a deep love and admiration for her adopted parents, especially her Paipai Rurik. Not really a fan of vegetables she adores meat, especially pork! Her Dede says thats probably because her teeth are all pointy like they are, a fact that she used to proudly display.

## == Fears ==

Despite continuing to work the forge she has never forgotten the pain of her accident and is constantly reminded every time she sees herself in the mirror what failure looks like.

## == Hobbies ==

List some of your character's Hobbies in life like: They have the hobby of going around the poor parts of town and throwing coins at the poor people to vent aggression and at the same time doing good.

## == Family ==

Gullna happily lives with her one legged Paipai Rurik and her plump Dede Rundona. An elderly dwarven couple who took her in when she was just an infant.

## == Friends ==

Shy and disfigured she doesn't really have any friends because she keeps to herself, however this doesn't stop her from being polite to everyone!

## == Enemies ==

The closest thing to to an enemy she has would most likely be the dwarf boy Malvli who desperately wants to become an apprentice to Rurik but has been turned down for years.
