Vikings-Lowki559

A massive and scarred direbear standing 6 feet tall at the shoulder and nearly 12 feet tall when rearing up. Her thick, obsidian-black fur is matted with battle-worn patches and streaks of gray. Her pale white orbs are milky and unseeing, yet she senses movement, fear, and intent. A jagged trio of claw scars slash diagonally across her snout and over her left eye, and her chipped stone blade-like claws and yellowed fangs add to her fearsome presence.

Loyal to Bjornulf the Bear-Son and only Bjornulf, Hel is Bjornulf's family, guardian, and equal. She moves with a calm, deliberate weight, but when enraged, her fury shakes the ground. Hyper-aware of her surroundings, her instincts are sharper than most druids’ senses. She feels the tension in the air, hears the heartbeat of prey, and knows when it’s time to kill. She is blind but has blindsight up to 60 feet and tremor sense up to 30 feet.

Hel was once the runt of her direbear litter — cast aside and left for dead during a brutal winter. But she survived. Blinded by Corg in a territorial battle over The Untamed Wilds, she fled to die alone… but found something else. She found Bjornulf the Bear-Son at 6 years old. Since then, she has become his only family — the one who taught him how to move in the snow, how to feel instead of see, how to endure. Bjornulf the Bear-Son protected her when she was weak. Now she protects him. Together, they are an unstoppable force of beast and man, forged in the ice. Corg is her mortal enemy.
