Race/Ethnicity: Dunlending
Date of Birth: N/A but is somewhere in early twenties
Name/s: Frontân is her common name though some friends or family may call her Coedwig. 
Skin Tone: Darker in hue and very course and rough.  Touching it would not show soft flesh but instead a hard skin that has been exposed to quite a bit of sun and weather.  
Height: Approximately 5'2"
Body Type: With a very athletic build, her body is slim but muscular.
Eye Color: A dark hue of brown with a shimmer of yellow. 
Hair:  Often seen tangled and somewhat matted, her hair is dark in colour. It, like her skin, is very course and due to extensive hours in the sun, has some what of a glimmer highlight despite its tangled appearance.  
Facial Structure: Her cheek bones are high but her face is filled out healthily.  Her lips are thin and often chapped while the skin around her eyes is a bit darker (often aided by paint) making the whites of her eyes shimmer out more intimidating.  Her nose is not very predominate of a feature as it often can be overlooked by the blue dying her skin. 
Education: She has learned how to fight with a crude axe from others and knows how to heal wounds which is what makes her most useful as an individual. 
Languages Spoken: Native language of the Dunlendings for the most part; however, she knows a handful of Westron words.  
Weapons: Often she only has her crude axe; however, sometimes will have a knife too. 
Special Abilities/Skills: Often a very good storyteller as well as skilled with herbs.  Much of her job revolved around stories of the past, herbs, and natural elements in which she used to try and heal her fellow kinsmen.  Now that her clan is dead,  she relies on a small collection of herbs and things such as rock, plant life, and water to heal them while Cadfardd often "speaks" with the spirits.  (Note: none of our characters use magic.  Most of this revolves around their own beliefs)
Tattoos, Injuries, etc.: It is hard to decipher what may be a tattoo or paint, but for the most part she is often covered with blue hues on her face and body.  Which she often can be seen with her upper torso exposed and adorned with paint. 

 

Background

Born under the name of Frontân, the young woman grew into independence among her mother and father.  Leading her with a harsh hand, they lead her to be a strong young woman as she specialised in following the lead of the elderly medicine woman in their clan (Turch-Luth).  She knew little of the politics of their clan and simply focused on the elements of the land, the stories of the elderly, and the world of herbs.  She always found a strong love towards the elderly medicine woman's head dressing adorned with horns of a ram and bones linked together and leathers stitched in to a detailed design.  Rarely did the woman ever let young Frontân touch her prized headpiece claiming the spirits did not allow children to touch such sacred objects. 

Growing up into a wild spirit like many of her people had, Frontân was given the nickname Coedwig from the elderly medicine woman which meant forest.  The elderly woman told Frontân she was as wild as the trees and the spirits who lived among them. This was true until the day the raiders came to Turch-Luth.  Everyone Frontân knew died that day save for the two she survived with.  The medicine woman in the final hours of her life passed on the headdress she held so dear to Frontân telling her the spirits finally deemed her worthy of survival.  

((Not mine))

Frontân was not the lone survivor after the death of her clan.  Along with her, the derudh Cadfardd and warrior Eilonnwy survived loosing their own family and livelihood as well.  Now the three wander freely through the lands of Dunland in attempts to find any remaining survivors of their clan as well as fighting enemies they find on their path. 

Friends
Cadfardd and Eilonnwy who are the only survivors she knows of from the Turch-Luth and the two people she is closest to
Relatives
Her husband, Cadfardd. She has some distant relatives in the Stag Clan, but none of them she knows personally. Otherwise, all her other family were killed killed when Turch-Luth was raided
Rivals/Enemies
She has many enemies. Often the Forgoils she and her friends attack, sometimes other Dunlenders who are not accepting of the three refugees
Loves
Her headpiece which is often something that soothes her, feathers, Cadfardd to her annoyance, and sleeping in warm huts
Hates
The men who killed her family, cold nights, being hungry, Forgoil (Rohirrim), the sound of wolves or wargs at night, and sometimes Cadfardd when he's being persistant
Motivation
Although she is not as set on revenge as some of her companions, it is one of her motivations to a degree. However, she prioritizes survival (of the group in all) above all else.
