Personality: She is overprotective of those who hire her services. 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: When she was but 3 years old her parents immigrated from the west. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the island to a summer home near a large cave. She would wander through that large cave 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 island due to the painful memories there. Vapula took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up hand crossbow and armor she uses now. She bought a hand crossbow and has really upped her game hunting, due to her understanding of decoy and ambush.
