Description: This slender woman stands about 5'2". She is bundled in multiple layers and is prepared for a desert trek wearing a turban that covers her face most of the time. She sports silver long hair. Judging by the bloodshot nature of her eyes and the massive bags underneath them one would imagine she has not slept for days.

Personality: Aggressive, abrasive, and angry, Tawar embodies much of what other species detest in the Half-Orcs. The occasional robbery is her preferred attention getting crime, but she mainly uses her means for meeting her own perverse desires.

History: From birth she was tutored by a cruel and relentless mentor. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the desert 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 desert due to the painful memories there. Tawar took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up kukri and armor she uses now. She was betrayed by a partner and left for dead, teaching her a humbling lesson in trusting others.
