Race:

Human, Rashemon (female)

Alignment:

LN

Mercenary Company Name:

Midwinter's Mark

Physical Description:

Veiled, favoring loose clothing of blues and grays. Average height, average build - more specific physical characteristics are difficult to pin down as she is rarely seen unveiled.  Her hair is dark and wirey, but most often worn in a braid.  Behind her mask the only true look most catch of her features are her piercing green eyes.

In conversation she can be perceived as terse, formal and commanding; she often is difficult to read (sense motive, etc.) as often negotiators can only see her eyes, and not the remainder of her face.

Background:

Though quiet and reserved now, young Tashia was a fiery hellion birthed to Mulsantir some 35 years past. From a proud family lineage including Hathran on each side, there were high hopes and expecations for the Rashemi child - she showed promise. A tulmutuous youth saw her excel at whatever tasks she truly bent her will ... but those were few and far between. More often she could be found not focusing on what she should have been doing and instead playing or raising a havoc. Her parents resigned themselves to the fact that their daughter must have had too much of the berserker and not enough of the scholar to continue in the proud Hatran tradition.

This feeling carred into her young adult years. She had some magical talet, to be sure, but lacked focus. Eventually Tashia settled down, got married and began her own life as a mother to a willful daughter, Quinnth. She moved to a small village outside of Mulsantir and spent a few brief years in bliss.

The events that followed are shrouded in mystery; few survived that can recall the specific details and Tachia prefers not to speak of that day. An errant Thayan raiding party sacked and razed her village one dark and cold winter's night ... years past the nation had ceased whole-scale aggression but from time to time such skirmishes still occurred. Tachia defender her family and the village with the rest of the miliat as best as she could, but ultimately both her husband and daughter perished.

Tashia now approaches life with a new focus. In the past years she has honed her martial arcane arts. People need help. People need her help. Not every town or village or cause has the skill to defend themselves properly ... but if she can help, she will. Her first priority is the defense of her homeland, but when there is no immediate need she can be found at the head of the Winter's Mark mercenary company ... practicing and refining her skills.
