She is bristling with hidden weapons, mostly falchions and halberds. Her hair, while still mostly chestnut, has prominent grey streaks. Her amber eyes are slightly larger than normal.

Personality: She is overprotective of those who hire her services. Her home and work are filled with various knick knacks she has acquired through the years. She cares a great deal for her adopted teenage son.

History: She was a bastard born out of an affair, and her mother always resented and mistreated her for it out of spite. Her parents died when she was young, and she was unceremoniously dumped in the city orphanage. Ekk grew up in the orphanage, tormented by the older kids and famished from lack of food. To avoid death by starvation, most orphans take to a life of crime or prostitution (often both), and so did Ekk. She was betrayed by a partner and left for dead, teaching her a humbling lesson in trusting others.
