History: She grew up in a lower middle class home, but living comfortably wasn't enough. Kabbarg liked to wander the woods near her home when she was young, something she still likes to do at least once a week. She never liked modest clothing or shoes, so she would wander the woods barefoot and lightly dressed, and she developed a good sense of balance and learned how to climb and swim well.

Personality: She never swears and excessively uses polite adverbs when speaking. She pushes her goals aggressively. She is also a coward if confronted.

History: She was born blind and as such lacked many opportunities for work. While she appears to be a normal Half-Orc, she's... not quite right.
