Edwina Icehause

Her Ladyship Edwina Icehause (a.k.a. Roxy Blades)

Edwina, aka Roxy, isn’t much to look at. She is, however, rather clever. More bookish than worldly wise, she can be annoying to her action-first peers. She dreams of being a famous Relic Hunter like Buck Bushmaster. Edwina changed her name to Roxy Blades and wears spectacles as part of her costume, trying to appear the part of a serious scholar.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

She has medium length, dusty-brown hair, unremarkable brown eyes. Shorter than average height with and boyish build. Delicate to the point of being frail/fragile.

Body Features

In a word: Scrawny

Facial Features

Her face is oval with an unfortunate weak chin and a thin-lipped mouth that's really too large for her features. Her teeth, like her mouth are overly large, giving her a buck-toothed appearance. Her eyes are rather small and her nose has a particular unretirement though it's hardly remarkable enough to note.

Identifying Characteristics

Roxy has had in-depth arm repair on her right limb. While it works perfectly normal aside from mobility/weakness/pain issues. She keeps the arm from shoulder to fingers covered and gloved even in hot weather. It's unlikely she'll show it off but the skin of that limb is white, as though the surgeries are rejecting the grafting. There are minor scarring along the shoulder were the new flesh connects with her natural skin.

Physical quirks

Roxy favors her right arm and it seems to cause her pain at times, usually when the weather is cold. She's also not particularly strong. Sometimes the arm can appear clumsy or lack full range of motion.

Special abilities

Apparel & Accessories

Supple, doeskin gloves that extend to her upper arm.

Personal history

Second child to the Duke and Duchess of Zee on Drowsae, Edwina Icehause developed a hunger for ancient history when her great uncle introduced her to the book '200 Seraphim'. From that day on, she was hooked and dedicated to the discovery of missing pieces of history.
In school she studied and earned her degree in archeology and worked for a time at a small museum before setting off on her own to make a name for herself as a relic hunter.
She had some good luck early on with small jobs she secured via an investor she's never met.

Failures & Embarrassments

Roxy made a poor choice while collecting from a particularly risky and complicated tomb. This was the find of her lifetime and what she'd been searching for her whole life.
When she took up the eldimagus Telzen from it's resting place deep in a guarded tomb. Telzen is a Khopesh sword of legend that is reported to be made from the goddess earth Mimjun who was melted by the fire goddess Thymes. The earth goddeses death created the very rare materials that formed the fire+earth spell sword.
After being badly wounded, Reginald D. Duckworth took credit for the discovery. His victory was short lived, however, since all the relics vanished during transport. (slippery buggers)

Roxy took loosing her life's work pretty hard. She has retreated to Drifter's Rock to be with friends and re-think her life.

Social

Contacts & Relations

Younger (twin) brother: Dewayne Gaston Icehause, (but he prefers Gaston)
Mother: Julia Ambrosia Icehause - Duchess of Zhee. Tenth in line of the throne of Drowsae. Grand niece of Queen Thron. A little air-headed. Dabbles a bit much in the Dream worship. Pretty much assumes Gertrude is already in charge of things.
Father: Mixle (Lores) Icehause - A very pretty show piece, not very sharp though.
Elder sister: Gertrude Libby Icehause (Heir to the Duchy of Zhee). Rules with an iron fist. Zero tolerance for bullshit or Edwina’s shenanigans. Loves Gaston terribly and is always trying to convince him to come home and take a Thron-bride (She likes to play matchmaker). She must marry Tradio, Earl of Luxferd - Fop extraordinaire, and boyscout who couldn’t track to save his life.
Festus Icehause: Eccentric Great-Uncle (Mother’s side) who is a bit of a black sheep but also hugely influential and obscenely wealthy thanks to his uncanny business deals. Edwina is his favorite niece. He has spoiled her tremendously as he has no children or wife of his own.
Future brother-in-law: Tradio, Earl of Luxferd - Fop extraordinaire (Son of daddy’s best hunting buddy in Luxferd) Expert swordsman, but not a great hunter/tracker. Loves himself, mirrors and fashion.
Mentor at school: Odeza Darlark, an influential scholar from Aetego who tried to dissuade Edwina from her crazy research on the treasure.
Fiance #1: Hendrix Malphoi - Duke of Harmon, Gaston’s best friend. He finally told Edwina: ‘I’m sorry, Eddie, I’d feel like I was married to your brother. You are a great pal, but really, not the bloke for me, man.’ Fiance #2: Maklak Traum — Marquis of Essledale, Gaston’s good friend from childhood. Edwina courted him for several months but then he finally admitted: ‘You’re nothing like you’re brother, why would I want to spend my life with you? No parties, no hunts? Nothing?’ Fiance #3: Jurek Som’zae — Baron of Killcreek, accepted her proposal but after a few weeks said to her: ‘This isn’t going to work out, I didn’t realize how difficult being with an ugly girl would be.’ Fiance #4: Pretmo Fairweather — Earl of Bakont, When Edwina asked for his hand, he said: ‘Sure, this should be one heck of a lark, old-man.’ And then after a week of courtship, backed out of the deal when he realized Edwina wasn’t much like her brother at all. ‘Far too much reading for my concern. It can’t be good for a person.’
Norwarl-lake-beast: Epi (Epi’chigamar) He/Him - A sentient, Dream aspected, semi aquatic beastie that looks like a combination of a horned whale and octopus (or night terror if you’re not nice to him). Like an octopus it changes color and skin texture depending on mood. Speaks mentally and has a bond to the Icehause family since the original matriarch rescued him on one of her adventures. Probably the last of his race, but Edwina would like to try to find another of the same species. Epi has made it known specifically to her that he has reached maturity and would like to raise younglings.
Idol: Buck Bushmaster. Current popular Relic Hunter and Seizure Sensation. He is a very skilled Relic Hunter, but an even better showman. He’s all about the fame these days, mostly working on showing off how he makes the finds in a flashy, well produced show. Probably has groomed himself an Australian accent to sound really cool and mysterious.
Guy who cheated her out of her big find: Reginald D(onald) Duckworth (Reggie Donny) Cash poor guy, always looking for the next scam. Acts like he is uber wealthy. Over and over cheats people out of their finds, but still manages to twist the story so he’s able to make it look like them cheating him.
Angel Investor: Someone behind the scenes who has given her tips in the past and sometimes leaves her cash to fund her wild-eyed obsession, erm….project. Helped fund her book ‘Art of the Steal’. Goes by Mister Blackwater OOC: Angelo Blackwater - (And oh, boy, he is a Seraphim.)

Family Ties

Younger (twin) brother: Dewayne Gaston Icehause (Gaston) Mother: Julia Ambrosia Icehause - Duchess of Zhee. Father: Mixle (Lores) Icehause Elder sister: Gertrude Libby Icehause (Heir to the Duchy of Zhee). Festus Icehause: Eccentric Great-Uncle (Mother’s side)

Religious Views

Edwina is a faithful daughter of Traum’sae. She respects all of the usual tidings and rituals of the hunt and feast.
She has not taken any covenants, however.
Her interest in other gods and goddesses is mostly in an academic manner. Most of the gods/goddesses she has researched seem to be Dream aspected due to her fixation on particular studies.

Wealth & Financial state

It all belongs to her parents and her elder sister.

Born Edwina Icehause, Roxy Blades is a shy, soft spoken archeologist with dreams of fame and fortune. Speaks several languages, understands the archaic bonding rituals of the Norwarl-lake-beast, and social economic downfall of the Last Dragon Flights.
