Description: This northern woman's face is deformed and paralyzed on one side. As such, she slurs her words together. She tends to wear a heavy leather apron. Coupled with her rolled up shirt sleeves this gives her a very relaxed look. Her chestnut hair is cut short. Her eyes, though not visible through her cowl, are hazel.

Personality: The woman has a huge range of feeling. She will range from being happy and joking with the occasional self put down to crying stating how she will be a better person from this day on. She is often prim and proper but will on occasion tell either really disgusting or offensive jokes, which seem out of character.

History: When she was but 5 years old her parents immigrated from the north. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the mountains 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 mountains due to the painful memories there. Birel took refuge in the old dungeon and found the beat up morningstar and armor she uses now. She moves from town to town, unable to find a place to settle.

Motivation: She is wracked by social anxiety; and she is terrified, and will act out of fear
