## Biography

### Early Life

The woman who would one day become Bertha the Barbarian was born in a tribe of bandits in the northern islands that Berk was said to be among. In the time since Berk's fall, multiple tribes inhabited the islands, isolated from the rest of the world and yet fought off the Grimm for centuries. Bertha was the daughter of the chief of her tribe and she learned how to fight at a very young age, raised with survivalist mentality: the strong live and the weak die which she understood and lived by. One day her tribe was destroyed by an unknown enemy with her as the only survivor, having been sent out on a raid.

With the death of her tribe and family Bertha vowed to become stronger, leaving her home to travel the world. She learned about the Hunters and wanted to become strong enough to fight and even kill them, seeking out only the strongest to fight against. One day she met a man dressed in red who challenged her with the condition if she lost she would join his group. Believing she would die before losing she accepted but even for all her strength and skill she lost to this man who was more powerful than anyone she had ever met.

Coming to believe she was weak and yet was bound by her word she joined this man, becoming a member of the Injustice Friends and soon found what she had been looking for. She fought against the Justice Friends and their allies, finding the strong opponents she had wanted to fight. Bertha the Barbarian is one of the strongest warriors in the world and lives for battle.
