Goliath
Appearance
Tora Storm-Breaker is a towering goliath woman whose presence seems to occupy more space than her body. Her pale grey skin is patterned with slate-colored markings like riverstones beneath winter water, and the markings appear darker along her knuckles, shoulders, and jaw. Her short-cropped dark hair lies flat except for one stubborn ridge above her left temple. Intense amber eyes flash beneath a heavy brow, while broad square teeth show whenever she gives an order, chews dried meat, or erupts into laughter. The first thing people notice is not her size but the sound before she speaks: a slow intake through her nose, followed by a low throat-clearing like a stone dragged across a gate. She moves with startling economy for someone so massive, pivoting on the balls of her feet and keeping her hammer close to her ribs. The unexpected contradiction is her hands, which are enormous and callused but remarkably gentle when fastening a frightened recruit's cloak or repairing a child's toy.
“A gravel-heavy alto preceded by a slow nasal intake and a stone-dry throat-clearing. Tora speaks in clipped commands during danger, quiet practical reassurance around recruits, and ceremonially polite sarcasm around officers.”

Distinguishing Features
Slate-colored riverstone markings form a near-perfect ring around her wrists.
Her lower canines protrude slightly over her lower lip, making her grin look both fierce and strangely warm.
She clears her throat like grinding stone before speaking, especially when suppressing anger.
The wolf-fur mantle is sewn with dozens of tiny brass recruit tags, each engraved with a name.
Despite her intimidating size, she hums children's counting songs while checking weapons and medical kits.
Voice
“A deep, gravelly alto with the resonance of a bell struck inside a stone tunnel. Her commands crack sharply, while her rare words of comfort are low enough that frightened recruits must lean closer to hear them.”
Clothing
Heavy dented plate armor scavenged from official garrison surplus, patched with mismatched rivets and marked with faded inventory numbers. A thick wolf-fur mantle hangs over one shoulder, secured by a bronze buckle shaped like a closed fist. Beneath the armor she wears a dark red drill coat, reinforced trousers, mud-stained wraps, and soft-soled boots for moving quietly through extraction routes.
Body Language
Tora stands with her feet planted wide and her shoulders slightly forward, as if bracing against an unseen impact. During drills, she circles rather than paces. When angry, she becomes unnervingly still, resting both hands on the hammer's pommel. Around frightened civilians, she lowers herself to one knee and turns her armored torso sideways to appear less like a wall and more like a shelter.
