Personality: Her tongue was cut out and she uses sign language. The war was a terrible time for her, and Shava does not often speak of it. When she does, she does so with a strained expression and tears in her eyes.

History: Trained by her mother for as long as she can remember she had it drilled in her head that it was her duty to serve her country. From there she went from mercenary job to mercenary job. During her travels, Shava and her party rested in a cavern that was (unknown to them) infused with powerful dark magic. Upon awakening, Shava discovered the rest of her party dead, transformed into horrible, mindless undead versions of their former selves.

Personality: A grumpy gal she will invite people to lunch so she can critique them. Yet she still seems generally likeable, like a lovable grump. She invites people to come help in her community garden.

History: She was a bastard born out of an affair, and her father always resented and mistreated her for it out of spite.
