Appearance
A broad-shouldered dwarven woman with dark copper hair braided close to the scalp and a square, weathered face. Her beard is absent, as is typical among many dwarven women, but she wears two short copper braids at her jaw as a family mark. Her gray-green eyes brighten with faint amber sparks when her sorcery stirs. She favors practical charcoal robes beneath a leather scholar's coat, with chalk dust on the cuffs and a polished iron focus hanging at her throat.
Mannerisms
Brunna taps the edge of her thumb against her forefinger while thinking, as though counting invisible runes. She lowers her voice when discussing anything dangerous, even in an empty room, and habitually checks the nearest stonework for cracks before sitting down.
Personality
Brunna is patient with honest ignorance but sharply impatient with intellectual laziness. She listens closely, asks precise questions, and treats even humble local customs as evidence worth preserving. Though reserved among strangers, she becomes unexpectedly warm when discussing old masonry, lost languages, or the practical uses of magic.
Ideals
Knowledge should serve the living. A discovery has no value if it cannot be used to prevent suffering or protect the vulnerable.
Bonds
I carry Master Odrin Pell's last letter and will find out what happened to him, no matter who tries to bury the truth.
Flaws
I become so absorbed in a mystery that I neglect immediate dangers, social obligations, and sometimes the people standing beside me.
Quirks
Background
Brunna Gleddvar was raised in a deep dwarven hold where every clan had a trade, every corridor had a history, and every stone was expected to remember its place. Her family maintained the hold's records, copying mining ledgers, ancestral oaths, and old maps into iron-bound volumes. Brunna proved an unusually gifted scholar, especially with ancient languages and the magical patterns hidden in engineering diagrams. During an excavation beneath a sealed observatory, she touched a rune that answered with a pulse of blue-white fire. The power did not burn her. It settled into her bones, then woke again whenever she spoke certain forgotten words. The hold's elders considered her magic both dangerous and sacred, so Brunna was sent to study among surface sages rather than be confined as an omen. She became a tireless researcher, tracing the origin of her sorcery through fragments of draconic inscriptions, elven star charts, and dwarven accounts of primordial flame. Her mentor, Master Odrin Pell, vanished while investigating the same mystery, leaving Brunna a final letter that warned her not to trust any scholar who claimed the old observatory was empty. Now she travels as both archivist and adventurer, seeking the truth behind her bloodline while using her strange power to protect people who would otherwise be overlooked by the great and learned.
