Mental characteristics

Personal history

It is said that some people enter into history with violence, for this is a violent world. Few people make their way into the fabled tales of history and legend without being able to cut down those who would oppose them. Such is the tale of the woman who's name is only known as Scarlet Tanya. It is said that she was the daughter of nobility, some even saying a link to the royal line of Bolsilva itself. Regardless, she was forced to run away after her family was killed due to a power grab by political rivals, being just 7 winters old when she was forced to flee. She wandered into the wild and after that not much is known. However it is said years later, after barely surviving in the wild, she would fall into a tomb that housed a great blade in it. She had been hunted by bandits for some time, and was close to death when she fell, however, a voice would come before her. This voice was from a strange goddess of far ancient Bolsilva known as Polentsa. She did tell Scarlet Tanya to take up the blade before her, and let no man ever stand in your way, and right the wrongs of the world.
Thus she did take up the blade, The Blade of Amarn, and would cut down the bandits with the power that Polentsa gave her. Since that day, she has declared herself the worthiest blade in all of Nilush, and has since then wandered the land fighting those who cross her path. She has fought warlords, tyrants, and vile men in the world. She has even fought great beasts such as dragons, chimeras, giants, and even great demons. Even though she was given power by her goddess, it is her skill alone that has seen her become a great slayer of those that stand in her way. She has saved many from the yoke of evil, protected villages against barbarian orc hordes, and has met some of the greatest men and women across the land, even crossing paths and working with Vharri the Bloody, Vharri being one of the few able to match her in combat. She is whispered as almost a mythical warrior woman wandering the land, but she is entirely real to those that come across her. She searches the land for worthy battle and good drink, and mercy be unto those that stand in her way.
