Description: This woman is very fat, and wears skinny pants and wears a black and white robe with the hood down. Her scarlet crest is smooth and relatively long. Her fierce red eyes like to dwell on things.

Personality: She believes mankind has become decadent and spoiled by the march of civilization and an end should come to life as we know it. She is a bit of a macho woman and will challenge people to random contests of strength and skill, and invite them to random hunting and fishing trip.

History: Raised by wardens she was only a novice when dire rats swooped upon their monastery and killed most of the order. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the plains to a summer home near a ruined castle. She would wander through that ruined castle and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and she was stranded inside. Her family spent the next few days looking for her, and could only assume she was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the plains due to the painful memories there. Farideh took refuge in the ruined castle and found the beat up club and armor she uses now. She bought a club and has really upped her game hunting, due to her understanding of decoy and ambush.
