Miriam 'Ma' Baker is a powerfully built hobgoblin with grey-green skin that looks weathered like old slate after rain. Her small tusks are capped and scarred from old bites, and her face is dominated by one cruel yellow eye with a serpentine, unblinking stare and one violet eye ringed by heavy scar tissue that makes her seem half-cindered and half-regal. She wears layered armor stitched from cured wolf fur and plated with purple wyvern scales that still flash a living sheen when she moves. Over baggy cargo pants and worn jackboots she keeps a filthy vest packed with maps, bolts, and trophies. Her green pixie-cut hair sticks out in bristling clumps, and her ears are pierced over and over with bone rings, brass hoops, and little war-tags. Dog tags clatter at her neck. She moves with a predator's economy, but sometimes pauses to smooth the fur on her collar as if she were already someone else's grandmother. The contradiction makes her unsettling and strangely comforting at the same time.
