She seems to care very little for birth, or status and instead focuses heavily on deeds, actions, and the value one can put in those instead. A farmer who fights hard to protect his family is worth just as much as the noble who does nothing, if not more. She understands that there is a way that things should work, but equally understands that it is not always the right way to go about things. For every law that protects and preserves, there is a law that hinders and stifles. Her trials and tribulations with her birthright are perhaps the source of this slightly-less-than-lawful approach to what is Good and Right. Gronnin sees herself as a source of Lathander's greater qualities: That being her vigor and vitality, her athleticism, and self-betterment, and she longs to one day prove herself worthy of her Father's namesake.<br/><br/><em><strong>Biography</strong></em>: Born the bastard daughter of Lord Crownbrow of Baldur's Gate, and one of his bodyguards, Gronnin grew up with a rather tumultuous upbringing. The Half-Orc mother was set on having her daughter grow up to be able to embrace her culture; an attempt to strengthen her against the cruelties almost inevitable for her race, and her Human father wanted his daughter to grow up knowing some of the luxuries that his wealth could afford to dote upon a child. It was hardly a bad problem to have, but it left Gronnin in the middle of warring parents over what was best for her.<br/><br/>As she grew up though, Gronnin started to show she was her own person, and not just a copy of either parent. She adored her own strength, and enjoyed running, playing, and pretending to fight - Actions more befitting her mother's teachings - but was equally infused with learning, reading, and study - as her father longed to impart upon her. At the age of Eleven, she made her desire to become a Knight known to both parents, and sure enough she was squired to a Dwarven Paladin who was part of the Flaming Fists. She encountered her Faith here, but didn't fully imbibe the ideas of a Paladin, instead focusing on Martial prowess.<br/><br/>With her training completed now, Gronnin worked for a time as part of the Flaming Fists. She wasn't much interested in the idea at first, but her father convinced her that it was worth getting some training and practice in before she went out to become a travelling knight. Truth be told however, it was of course a father's ploy to keep his daughter safe. She knew that it would look poor if she was knighted by her Father, or by any of the many Baldur's Gate nobility. She would brooch no insult upon her Knightly honour if she ever became a true Knight, so decided to set upon the world at large; intent on earning a reputation and a place in the world first as an Adventurer, then as someone worthy of truly becoming a Knight.<br/><br/>Things went...poorly at the start. People were suspicious of the well-groomed travelling Half-Orc in rather well-made armour, and most thought she was a particularly lucky bandit. It's only now, upon hearing about the rumours and call for heroes to protect a place of faith that Groninn plans to make her way forward; and hopefully unto glory.
