Description: This woman likes to wear darkened spectacles and heavy clothing, no matter the weather. She is muscular with a powerful set of arms. She has slicked back golden hair. She was beautiful and young once, which still shows through her age, but it is a faded beauty.

Personality: She is intelligent and cunning, but she will too often allow her rage to get the better of her. She will lose her cool and rely on brute force to carry the day. She lacks restraint and is impulsive. She jumps in and acts without thinking all too often.

History: Her mother raised her in a mountain cabin. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the plains to a summer home near a ruined castle. She would wander through that ruined castle 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 plains due to the painful memories there. Althaea took refuge in the ruined castle and found the beat up pickaxe and armor she uses now. She bought a pickaxe and has really upped her game hunting, due to her understanding of decoy and ambush.
