Romilda Of Setessa

Romilda Of Setessa

Her name was Romilda. In wolf, that translates to grrrrrrr--arrghh- AWOOOo. She was not a warrior princess, at least not that she knew of. In saying that, she wasn't exactly left with a family tree when she was abandoned in the woods.

Personal history

Romilda was raised by wolves until she was 8 yrs old, when Nylea brought her to Setessa. She trained in the tower of Leina, and was often singled out as the ‘problem child’ due to her often unruly and somewhat savage nature.

 

She was on a mission outside the city when she was attacked by bandits. In a desperate moment, Nylea returned to her, granting her a boon in the form of a wolf-like form, though she struggles to see it as a blessing.

 

The years in the woods left her mind clouded and chaotic, with very little impulse control. This impulse control led to her being put in charge of guarding the sacred tree that would eventually give birth to Semestra as a form of punishment. The tree was the one place Romilda felt at peace, all wild, frantic thoughts quietened for the first time since she was brought to Setessa, and what was supposed to be something of a punishment, and a lesson in patience, became a refuge for her mind.

Because of this, she requested that she continue to watch over the tree, much to the surprise of her teachers. They agreed, and were somewhat relieved to not have to keep an eye on her every passing minute, as there were always other 'little bears' to worry about.

Sexuality

She doesn't think she has any interest in either men or women, and honestly even if she did there's a fear that she might lose control and pass on her curse by accident.

Mental Trauma

Abandoned by her family at a young age, and raised by wolves ('nuff said)

 

Show spoiler
Whilst on a scouting mission (likely another opportunity siezed by those in charge to get her out of their hair) Romilda and her companions were set upon by raiders. Unprepared, and wholly outnumbered the small group were no match for their attackers, and were quickly forced into submission. In a desperate moment, Romilda raised her voice to the heavens and begged Nylea to grant her the strength to defend herself and her squad. What happened next both amazed and terrified Romilda. She held no recollection of the bloodshed, but when she came to she was surrounded by the corpses of men who looked as though their bodies had been ravaged by beasts.

She has average intelligence, though relies more on her animal instincts in situations than her intellectual prowess.
