Appearance
Ketta Grathik is a female dwarf with a round face, high cheekbones, and a square jaw. Her chestnut hair is tied in a loose braid that reaches past her shoulders. Dark brown eyes, sharp as flint, study the world with equal parts irritation and reluctant amusement. Her skin is darker than that of many city dwarves, carrying a warm olive undertone. She has a compact, powerfully built frame shaped by hard labor and military drilling. She usually wears practical clothing beneath her armor, including a deep-blue tunic, linen shirt, sturdy trousers, leather braces, and heavy boots. A brass ring adorns her right ear.
Mannerisms
Ketta squares her shoulders before answering difficult questions, taps two fingers against her shield when thinking, and gives orders in a calm voice that becomes more dangerous as it grows quieter. When amused, she exhales sharply through her nose instead of laughing.
Personality
Ketta is disciplined, observant, and bluntly protective. She has little patience for theatrical heroics, but a dry sense of humor emerges when someone manages to surprise her. She studies people the way she studies stonework, looking for hidden cracks, load-bearing strengths, and signs that something is about to collapse.
Ideals
Duty. A promise made in the presence of stone should outlast the person who made it. Ketta believes strength exists to hold the line for those who cannot.
Bonds
Her father's hold is more than a home, it is a promise she must someday be worthy to inherit. She carries the cracked brass badge of the soldier who first trusted her with command, and she will not let that soldier's sacrifice be forgotten.
Flaws
Ketta treats compromise as a synonym for cowardice until proven otherwise. She is slow to forgive betrayal, quicker than she should be to issue orders, and secretly terrified that her father's shadow is the only reason anyone ever followed her.
Quirks
Background
Ketta Grathik was born beneath the stone halls of a prosperous dwarf hold, the only child of its chief and the one everyone expected to inherit more than a name. Her father taught her the weight of a council chamber, but Ketta preferred the honest language of hammers, shield drills, and marching boots. She joined the hold's border guard before she was old enough to grow the beard her cousins insisted she would someday regret lacking, and quickly earned a reputation for keeping formation when everyone else broke it. Her practical intelligence and stubborn courage eventually carried her into command of a small tunnel-defense company.
