Description and Background
Description:
Gronda is not a pretty woman. In fact, she might be considered quite homely by most, but none are foolish enough to say that to her face. She has long dark hair and dark brown skin. Her body is covered in scars from years of physical abuse and the numerous fights she has been in. She has many dark tattoos of mystical designs and symbols adorning most of her exposed flesh. Some of the markings indicate her former status as a slave girl from years past.
She is a genuinely good person but looks much nicer than she acts. Her personality is somewhat abrasive because she demands respect from all those she meets. She isn’t much on first impressions but her loyalty to her friends is unprecedented.
Background:
Gronda was born into slavery and has fought her entire life to not only gain her freedom but also her dignity. Her mother was raped by a group of soldiers while she was being held as a slave. A few years after Gronda was born, her owner realized that she was not his child. So, he killed her poor mother right in front of her, intensifying the young girl’s hatred for her captor and all slave owners in general. Gronda spent the next several years of her childhood in misery.
She escaped the clutches of her evil master’s enslavement many times, only to be captured again and brutally beaten or tortured for her efforts. She began to believe that she would never have a life of her own. Eventually, when Gronda was 15 years old, her rapist master impregnated her. It was only after that she was allowed a few more of the freedoms that she never had as a working slave. She took full advantage and tried to escape again, knowing full well that her unborn child was already a lowly slave. She was of course captured again and beaten to the point of near death, also killing her unborn child.
She was so furious about losing her baby that when she finally recovered her strength, she attacked her master and killed him with her bare hands. That was the very last moment that she ever considered herself a slave. Knowing full well that she would never again be able to bare children or lead any semblance of a normal life, she fled the city for the wildlands as a fugitive. She has been living in the wild ever since. Stealing and scavaging in order to stay alive. She has taught herself to track and hunt for food. She also quickly learned how to fend for herself, and now seeks out adventure within the safety of a group to find her fame and fortune.
