Afia

Naya has dark, olive-brown skin with a faint green undertone and deep crimson eyes that seem to burn with intensity. Her long, jet-black hair is braided into thick plaits adorned with small silver beads. A jagged scar runs diagonally across her nose, hinting at a violent past. She wears sturdy, dark leather armor reinforced with steel plating, and her broad shoulders carry a massive greatsword sheathed on her back. Around her neck hangs a simple iron pendant shaped like a wolf's head, worn and scuffed from years of travel.

Naya is brash, unfiltered, and unafraid to speak her mind. She values strength above all else, viewing magic as a crutch for those too weak to rely on their own abilities. Despite her gruff demeanor, she has a deep sense of honor and loyalty—so long as those she works with prove themselves worthy of it. Naya enjoys a good fight and respects those who can match her in combat, often challenging strangers to friendly duels. However, she has little patience for politics or deceit, preferring direct action over scheming. Her chaotic nature makes her unpredictable, but it also makes her fiercely determined once she’s set her sights on a goal.

Born to a nomadic tribe that roamed the untamed wilds, Naya grew up learning the art of combat and survival. Her half-orc heritage often made her an outcast, but she found pride in her strength and resilience. After her tribe disbanded following a brutal raid, she struck out on her own, selling her blade to the highest bidder. Her travels have taken her far and wide, including Velarion, where she hopes to find a patron among the magically inclined elite. Though she scoffs at magic-users and their ways, she recognizes the power and coin they can offer, so long as it serves her own interests.
