<strong>Olga Stormwynd</strong><br/>Human Priestess of Sun-goddess<br/><br/>Age: 17<br/>Height: 5' 11"<br/>Hair: Blonde<br/>Eyes: Blue<br/><br/>STR: 14    Hit: Nrm, Dam: None, WA: +200, OD: 1-2, BBLG: 7%<br/>INT: 10<br/>WIS: 16   MA Adj: +2, Spell Bonus: 2-1, 2-2, Fail %: 0%<br/>DEX: 8<br/>CON: 12<br/>CHA: 17  Max Hire: 10, Loyalty: +30%, RA: +30%<br/><br/>Weapons:<br/>Quarterstaff (melee)<br/>Sling (range)<br/><br/>Armor:<br/>Studded leather<br/><br/>Possessions:<br/>Holy Symbol<br/>Cloak (beige)<br/>Flint and Tinder<br/>7 days rations (dried)<br/>1 vial holy water<br/>2 waterskins<br/>20 sling bullets<br/>parchment and quill w/ink<br/>knife and sharpening-stone<br/>50' rope<br/>snares<br/>climbing hook<br/>mason's tools<br/><br/>Background: Born to an unpretentious family of craftspeople, Olga learned to work with her hands at a young age, showing an aptitude for all manner of manual work, especially masonry, carpentry and sewing.  She always had a hint of being a tomboy, but never to the point of compromising her core femininity.<br/><br/>However tolerant her parents were of her predilection for traditionally male arts, the community was less tolerant.  Olga often found herself mocked...never in her presence, but always behind her back, just out of hearing, the subject changed as soon as she walked into a room.  Friction built, with the reputation of her parents suffering...and when she reached the age of womanhood (15), she decided to end the problem.  She left early one morning, and showed up at the temple of the sun-goddess, asking to be taken in as an acolyte.<br/><br/>Her parents were livid...but there was nothing anyone could do.  Tradition and law alike were very clear: at the age of majority, a citizen of either gender was free to apply themselves to the temple of their choice, and if that temple's High Priest of Priestess accepted them for training, that was the end of the matter, and there was no recourse for anyone to stop them.<br/><br/>After two years of training, Olga has blossomed into a priestess, earning the respect of the elders of the temple and her peers alike with her wisdom and her leadership abilities.  The life she had chosen from sheer desperation turned out to be a rather good fit for her.  And when the call from the King was made for adventurers of stout heart and good spirit, she answered with her High Priestess's blessing.
