Description: This woman does not wear sleeves and tends to eschew shirts when she can avoid it. She is muscular with a powerful set of arms. She has red hair. Her voice is smooth and creepy, always level, but somehow just slightly unnerving.

Personality: She is a woman who does what she needs to. She will acquiesce to black mail and extortion to avoid trouble. Her respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to her, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, she tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in her reactions to snap at those who irritate her, Vanchu is combative with any and all who dare try her patience in the slightest.

History: Sold as a small child to a slaver, Vanchu was an assistant, and all too frequently test subject. She eventually earned her freedom when her former master disappeared. Vanchu liked to wander the woods near her home when she was young, something she still likes to do at least once a week. She never liked modest clothing or shoes, so she would wander the woods barefoot and lightly dressed, and she developed a good sense of balance and learned how to climb and swim well. Recently she has begun working with bootleggers and crooks.
