Mental characteristics
Personal history
Having grown up in the age of growth for Oakenshield lands, Tordrid was brought up with all the resources she would ever need to succeed. She would advance through several military and some scholarly schooling before entering into the Oakenshield City Guard. It would not take her long to assume the position as captain of the guard. In her time as captain she would keep the city safe, and occasionally be drafted into the service of larger military movements.
Education
Private tutelage, the best her mother could afford to teach her the ways of nobility and military tactics.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Early in her career as captain of the guard, she defended House Oakenshield from a surprise attack by a small army of hobgoblins. She also served as one of the head commanders in the taking of Hawk Island.
Failures & Embarrassments
She has never been known to be ladylike, one night in particular she became roaring drunk at a social gala put on by her mother. It ended with several tabled being smashed in two, several injured party guests, and a silent guarantee that her future would not be in politics.
Morality & Philosophy
Believes in leading by example. True leadership isn't done from battle maps at camp, it's done in the fray with those you lead.
Taboos
Her battle horn was her most prized piece of equipment. It would never leave her side, not on or off the battlefield.
