Half-Orc

Appearance

Grunha moves like an anchored wave — deliberate, heavy at the start, then suddenly driving forward with force. Her skin bears a pale green-gray wash, clay-streaked from riverbanks and sun-bleached from long days outdoors. Scars map across her forearms and left cheek: a jagged pale line that runs from temple to jaw and a crescent healed over her right eyebrow. She keeps a thick, dark braid threaded with river glass and the teeth of small fish; the braid swings like a pendulum when she walks. Her shoulders are wrapped in a patchwork leather cloak stitched with faded shipping marks; over the cloak she sometimes dons a child's, rusted iron pauldron — an oddity that seems both sentimental and impractical. When she stands still she seems too heavy for her frame; when she runs she becomes astonishingly light-footed, almost gliding over wet rocks. An unexpected detail: despite the hulking half-orc build, her fingernails are always trimmed and stained with blue dye — a sign of a craft she keeps private.

Direct and low-toned, with short, clear sentences. Uses river metaphors unconsciously ('let it eddie out', 'we must find the deeper channel').”

Distinguishing Features

Jagged scar from temple to jaw on left cheek

Thick braid threaded with river glass and fish teeth

Pale gold fleck in left iris

Child's rusted iron pauldron strapped oddly on one shoulder

Voice

Low, gravelly, and steady; when angered it becomes cold and clipped; laughter is rare but deep and surprising.

Clothing

Patchwork leather cloak lined with reeds for insulation, simple linen shirt, water-dark trousers, leather gaiters, a child's rusted iron pauldron strapped over her left shoulder, fingerless leather gloves, and a woven sash with small pouches of herbs and river charms.

Body Language

Leans sideways when listening as if matching the river's flow; will sit on the ground with her back to a post to feel the earth; hands often busy rearranging pebbles or adjusting her sash.
