Nadja Petska
Only 26 years old, Nadja has already experienced a lifetime's worth of tragedy and hardshiop. Her husband, Hjalnek fell to an ice trol in the Hoarwood Forest a year ago. Since then, she has struggled to care for their children, and to provide for her family. She needs to rely on friends to look after her children while she travels. Shortly after her husband's death, she took up his trade as a food merchant and importer for the eastern reaches of the Hoarwood. Many people in the Hoarwood rely on her business, including the local Jadwiga aristocracy.
Last year, Nadja made contact with a tribe of Kellids near the border with the Realm of the Mammoth Lords. She now regularly trades with them for grain, raw meat, livestock, leather goods, and furs. She makes frequent multi-week runs through the forest and tundra. Because of the service she provides, she has become a trusted name in her home village of Waldsby. However, she still struggles to achieve much influence with the White Witch, Nazhena Vasilliovna, the ruler of Waldsby. While Nadja supplies Vasililiovna's Pale Tower, the witch's guards routinely commandeer Nadya's shipments rather than pay a fair price for them. In exchange, the people of Waldsby receive a little less harrassment when the soldiers visit the village.
Nadja is the mother of Sofia. The young girl insulted Nazhena, repeating language she had heard from Hatch. Nazhena took Sofia away, telling Nadja that she would hold her at the Pale Tower as assurance of Nadja's continued good behaviour. Nadja has only recently discovered that Nazhena lied and killed Sofia, placing the young girl's soul in guardian doll.
Nadja has two other children, 5-year-old twin boys named Orm and Mjoli. She will fight fiercely to protect them, and to her, that now means killing Nazhena Vasilliovna.
