Brynja Holt
Silver Rank — Great Axe & Shield
🪓
Twenty-eight, tall, and built from years of genuinely hard, honest labor — felling trees and hauling logs will do that. Lives in a cabin she built herself, a solid few hours' walk into the woods outside Duskport, and wouldn't trade the quiet for a closer room in the city at any price.
Fights with a great axe nearly her own height — the same one she uses to cut firewood — and a shield built to take a real beating. No finesse to speak of, just overwhelming, protective strength, planting herself between danger and anyone she's decided to look after. The soft, easy warmth she carries everywhere else disappears completely the moment a fight actually starts.
Gentle, unhurried, and about as honest as a person can be — she doesn't really understand the appeal of hiding things, and it shows in how plainly she says what she means. Deeply fond of animals, wild or tame, without a shred of self-consciousness about it.
Happiest with a hard day's work behind her, plain food in front of her, and no city noise anywhere nearby. Has no patience at all for needless cruelty or for wasting good wood, good food, or good effort.
