Description: A moderately attractive woman, she dresses well, typically a more casual-formal manner. Her hair, while still mostly auburn, has prominent grey streaks. She has a very pronounced jaw and large eyebrows. She wears rectangular glasses with silver brims.

Personality: She can speak with the dead, and doesn't see much difference between the living and dead. She has the money to obtain near anything and knows that if you pay a woman enough she will sell her own mother. Money is her most trusted friend.

History: Born in a small village she learned the ways of the warrior from her father. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the island to a summer home near a old dungeon. She would wander through that old dungeon 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 island due to the painful memories there. Bardryn took refuge in the old dungeon and found the beat up greataxe and armor she uses now. She was granted martial powers by her dying brother.
