Appearance

Sava is a lean wood elf with weather-browned skin, close-cropped dark hair, and a long, practical braid tied with a strip of faded red cloth. She dresses for movement in patched leather armor beneath a gray-green cloak, with a longbow kept within easy reach and a pair of worn shortswords at her hips. Her most distinctive feature is her attention. Within moments of meeting someone, she has quietly noted every door, window, weapon, and empty chair in the room. Her voice is low and dry, with a faintly lilting cadence, but when danger approaches her speech becomes clipped and nearly breathless. When rattled, she stops breathing for a heartbeat before speaking, as if waiting for the world to settle into a firing line.

Mannerisms

She checks the nearest exit before sitting, rests two fingers against her bowstring when thinking, and repeats the final word of a person's sentence under her breath when deciding whether to trust them. Before a fight, she exhales slowly through her nose. If she cannot hear that breath, she considers herself too angry to act.

Personality

Sava is observant, economical, and outwardly unimpressed by heroics. She treats competence as a form of kindness and distrusts anyone who describes a dangerous plan as easy. Around tired soldiers, teamsters, and other working people, she becomes unexpectedly warm, sharing food and dry jokes without making a performance of generosity. She rarely raises her voice. The quieter she becomes, the more serious the situation usually is.

Ideals

A contract is a promise made in public. If the powerful can break promises without consequence, then the only honest currency left is the protection we give one another.

Bonds

The surviving veterans of the Red Kestrel Company are her family. She keeps their names in a small ledger and sends a portion of every payment to those who cannot work.

Flaws

She assumes every employer is lying about one important part of the job, and she is usually right just often enough to make the habit impossible to break. She can abandon a cause without warning if she believes its leaders have spent the lives of others carelessly. When frightened for someone she loves, she becomes controlling, cold, and brutally practical.

Quirks

She names every horse she travels with after a type of weather.
She refuses to sit with her back to a window, even in friendly homes.
She keeps spent arrowheads from contracts that ended badly.
She can identify several mercenary companies by the stitching pattern on their uniforms.
She pays children to deliver harmless messages so they learn to read contracts and recognize official seals.

Background

Sava Kerek grew up among the border roads where caravans, armies, and thieves all used the same bridges. Her mother kept accounts for a traveling trade company, while her father repaired bowstrings and wagon harnesses. Sava learned early that a contract was only as good as the person standing beside you when the rain came down and the arrows started. She joined the Red Kestrel Company at nineteen, not from love of war, but because it paid on time and had a reputation for bringing its people home. The company eventually took a contract protecting a noble convoy through a disputed forest. Their employer altered the terms after the first ambush, sending the Kestrels into a fight they had not been paid or equipped to handle. Sava survived by leading six exhausted soldiers through a flooded ravine while the rest of the company held the road. She returned to find the employer had blamed the dead for the failure and withheld their wages. Sava took the contract ledger, burned the noble's seal, and walked away with the surviving veterans. Now she works as a ranger-for-hire, choosing contracts carefully and charging more for promises than for blood. She still searches for the scattered members of the Red Kestrel Company, especially those who may have believed she abandoned them.
