Appearance
Vrazka is a tall, broad-shouldered gnoll with ochre-brown fur marked by black along her muzzle, spine, and forearms. Her left ear is notched from a clan trial, and several flat iron rings hang from her mane. Her amber eyes are bright and restless, and her jaws show filed lower canines. She wears a salt-stiffened red sash bearing the bone-and-scale mark of the Bloodscale Omen, layered hide armor, and a necklace made from the knuckles of defeated brawlers.
Mannerisms
Vrazka leans forward when listening, ears twitching toward every voice in the room. She sniffs food before eating it, taps her greataxe against the deck when impatient, and smiles without showing her teeth when she is genuinely pleased.
Personality
Vrazka is boisterous, intensely observant, and quick to laugh at danger. She treats every confrontation as a contest that should end with someone grinning, even if that someone is missing a tooth. Beneath her violent reputation, she is fiercely attentive to the vulnerable, especially cabin boys, new deckhands, and anyone too frightened to stand up for themselves.
Ideals
Strength should shelter the hungry. A leader who takes the first share and gives nothing back is merely a well-fed parasite.
Bonds
The Bloodscale Omen is the first crew that treated Vrazka as more than a weapon. She will defend its captain, sailors, and vessel with terrifying devotion. She also carries the broken jawbone of her predecessor as Rage Lord, and refuses to let the Boneclaw clan forget the debt owed to the crew that helped her claim the title.
Flaws
Vrazka mistakes restraint for cowardice and often escalates a disagreement before she understands what it is about. She is possessive of food, weapons, and leadership, and her pride makes it difficult for her to admit when a younger or weaker person has a better plan.
Quirks
Background
Vrazka Blackmaw was born beneath a red moon in a salt-marsh den claimed by the Boneclaw clan. Her people taught her that hunger was not shameful, but weakness was, and that every fear had to be answered with motion. She became a runner, raider, and eventually a clan enforcer, learning to read shifting crowds as easily as she read tracks in mud. Her first command came during a famine, when she led a desperate hunting party through a rival pack's territory and returned with enough meat for both sides. The victory earned her a place among the clan's decision-makers, but it also taught her that leadership meant deciding who would go hungry when there was not enough to share.
