Physical Description

Zarra is smaller than most half-orcs. Without the powerful frame of her orc heritage she learned to survive by reaction speed, precise movement. Her olive-green skin carries faint scars earned through a lifetime of adventure. Dark hair is usually pulled back high or braided tightly to keep it out of her eyes, though it has a habit of escaping in loose strands. Small tusks peek over her lower lip when she smirks, which is often.

Her armor is fitted leather, worn for mobility rather than modesty, hugging her strong build without restricting her range of motion. Twin daggers rest at her hips, balanced perfectly for either hand. She moves like someone completely at home in tight spaces and dim corridors.

Background

Zarra grew up where strength mattered, but her lack of it taught her that subtlety kept you alive longer. Too small and clever to be muscle, too physical to be ignored, she learned early how to navigate expectations. She discovered she had a knack for slipping through places others couldn’t and spotting what others missed. She fell into adventuring not out of noble calling, but because it paid and it suited her. She prefers work where she can take the lead in unfamiliar spaces like ruins, crypts, and dungeons where others hesitate.

Personality Notes

• Uses humor to control situations.
• Teases when tension rises.
• Comfortable with physicality, less so with emotional exposure.
• Enjoys making others flustered… less prepared when it happens to her.
• Zarra believes she cannot be manipulated if she sees it coming.
