Saehildr the Uncouth Brute

| Outward Appearance | Where a gentleman might say "An ill-mannered lady", an honest farmhand may say, "A brutish knave". To describe Saehildr in flattering terms would be an accomplishment in itself: at a height of 5'11ft. she could be called a giant, and her wide, stocky frame gives the impression of an unyielding stubborn gate. Her amber-brown eyes and tanned skin add to the assumption that she might be from Bree, but at the same time she doesn't quite look the part of a local, as her manner of speech is surprisingly understandable and void of any bothersome accents. Reinforced chainmail and fur-lined armour serve to hide and simultaneously emphasize her lack of curvature and add to her foreign and grizzled image which, when combined with the other unsavory aspects of her appearance, make for a very unpleasant description; Tall as trees, wide as gates, clean as brutes, vicious as dogs.
Her face can't quite be called a saving grace either; Simply put, there is nothing to make it even remotely beautiful or attractive. Her poor dental hygiene manifests itself in crooked yellow teeth, her amber eyes are too uncannily alike to the vicious, predatory gaze of a wolf, her lips are dry and chapped, and her hair is a tangled, oily mess hastily combed to the side - half of it has even been (perhaps forcibly) shaved away, leaving a multitude of scars, most of them gashes, hints of healed scabs, and burns, plain for the eye to see. Despite this, however, she wears a pair of silver earrings and steel rings on each middle finger, the only redeeming features to her otherwise abhorrent appearance. |

Background
Saehildr, as the name suggests, hails from the northern parts of Wilderland, up in the dwellings of the Northmen of Rhovanion and Woodsmen of Mirkwood. Why she crossed the Hithaeglir and came to Bree is a mystery in itself - when questioned about it, she tends to divert the subject away from herself and to more idle banter.
It becomes extremely apparent upon getting to know her, however, that she may be one of slightly more dubious origins - In spite of, or perhaps because of her larger-than-life personality and ability to empathize with most people, she is quick to laugh at the misfortune of others, delights in violence and meals fit for the largest of men and women, and holds a callous disregard for authority, measuring a person's worth through their deeds, strength, and their individuality, rather than words and meaningless flattery.
| Friends | Unknown |
|---|---|
| Relatives | None west of the Misty Mountains |
| Rivals/Enemies | The line between Enemy and Friend is a line oft blurred for her. |

|---|---|
