Tenarhik-ga-Rovhtark. Child number four out of five, she was born in a household of chaos, her father was a thief and highwayman working in and around Stilben. With that lifestyle, it was expected that, one day, the father might not return at all. After a month of no word or sign, Tena’s mother took to running a brothel (after conning the previous establishment out, with the help of the two elder sons). With a business on her hand, and no spouse to help raising the young ones, all but Tena’s younger brother, had to leave the home.
Tena had always been the “black sheep”, where her brothers and sister all were pretty short and slim, for Half-Orcs, Tena was at age 10 the tallest in the house. Half-Orcs often test their strength through wrestling and fist-fights, which typically ended with Tena as the victor. And when her brothers decided to run away from the beatings, she would throw smaller stones (or other available objects) at them, developing a very sharp eye and a means of defending herself at range. Despite numerous fights and wrestles, Tena was closer to her siblings than to her father, who was barely ever home, and a mother too busy with conning and stealing to make ends meet.
After the father’s disappearance, the two elder brothers got hired as bouncers by their mother, and her older sister hitched a ride with a merchant going west. Finally her youngest brother, too young to wander the world, too scrawny to work as a bouncer. He was however the fastest to be able to write and read, helping his mother keeping a business ledger. Not interested in staying around the brothel, there clients asking if she was “available”. Instead Tena decided to try her luck, wander the world, maybe something would feel like home and feel right, somewhere out there.
However, her tall frame, muscled arms and chest, and the general dislike of Half-Orcs made life hard. A couple of shady persons would hire her as bodyguard, but Tena was determined to not follow in her father’s unfortunate footsteps. Finding instead, the serenity of nature, the marshlands near Stilben became her home, using her accuracy to hunt frogs and other small critters for food.
She is naive, from not having been in contact with many people, often leading her to bad decisions and contracts.
