| Outward Appearance | As far as Breeish people go, she is not very special. The woman's face is beginning to show the first wrinkles of age, and her hair has a flash of silver just beginning to show. Granted, most of it is hidden under a crimson bandana that ties her hair out of her face, allowing for freedom to work or fight without the brown locks falling in her face. Her hands are worn from labor, and more recently, practice. Wooden hafts of shovels, picks, and spears, have left their mark on her strong grip.
The hardened figure is often clad in armors an effective, functional style. A shirt of scale mail, steel greaves and bracers, and a heavy shield complete her gear. Her shield, painted in black and white, bears the emblem of the Blackwatch, a pale boar across a blackened field. At her hip, the hilt of a blade protrudes from the scabbard hanging from her belt. Along with that, a set of long-bladed javelins rests across her back, expanding her arsenal to include thrown weapons. |

Background
The Blackwatch was formed by Myrana when the grave digger grew tired of burying the bodies of people who didn't deserve to be in the ground. Spiteful over the loss of a husband, and several friends, she petitioned the Watch for permission to create a militia made for combating the rising threat of outlaws and brigands.
Blackwatch is made up of several different kinds of people. Some are like Myrana, innocent of any crimes, but tired of putting up with illegal activity from those around them. More often than not, however, the recruits tend to be criminals shortening sentences by fighting for the Blackwatch, or soldiers with no other honorable places to use their skills.
Myrana herself was a gravedigger for years before creating Blackwatch. Her father owned a patch of land, selling out small lots as grave sites, providing headstones and digging out the holes for the dead. Myrana took up the same trade under him, and continued to work the land, up until the day she joined the Watch.
Though her experience is minimal with organized combat, Myrana's leadership is undeniable. Fueled by spite, she quickly climbed to the rank of Captain, when she requested to form her own militia under the authority of the Watch. A militia who would have no authority within Bree, and whose only role was to fight those who threatened the town.
