She prefers to wear fine silks, though has several suits of combat armor for her hunting needs. Her silver hair is cut short. She is baby faced.

Personality: She seems absolutely devoid of it. She stares off into space and will respond with overly literal and minimalist answers to questions.

Though less modest and more hasty in her reactions to snap at those who irritate her, Virra is combative with any and all who dare try her patience in the slightest.

History: Her history is one of pain. She was disowned by both parents and raised among the slaves her parents kept. Ostracized due to the arcane powers of her oldest brother, she and her siblings struck out on their own. In the process these unassuming Gnomes became a terror of the countryside. She was granted arcane powers by her dying brother.
