Personality: This woman loves painting and to teach people painting more than just about anything.

History: Trym was born in the south. At a young age she loved to build and create. Ostracized due to the psionic powers of her oldest brother, she and her siblings struck out on their own.

Motivation: She will attempt to ambush and attack anyone she thinks she can take on alone and try to knock them out with non-lethal damage. If successful, she will try to sell them to her slave-trader contact.
