Vallana Merja
Giant Killer

Background

Vallana comes from a wealthy merchant family with an interest in several ventures. After apprenticing with the Bailiffs office, her interests turned towards practising law. She achieved a law degree from a very respectable college and has handled many legal affairs for her family.
 Vallana has taken a year off to enjoy her wealth and trained for several months with the Beillic mercenaries. The ancestral armour she wears was an expensive gift she purchased for herself after her training was complete. She is particularly adept with the morningstar.

Appearance

Vallana has long silky blonde hair, usually worn in braids and used to provide additional padding for her helmet. In less perilous moments she wears it loose or in a single braid down her back.
 She is usually found clad head to toe in ancestral Dwarven armour, with a sturdy metal shield on one arm and a vicious morningstar in her other hand.
 Pandora has blessed Vallana with a haunting beauty.
