Description: A well shaped woman just over fifty, she wears an amalgamation of clothes and depending on the season will wear more layers of the continuing hodge podge. She has shaved her head bald. She has a tattooed face.

Personality: She goes out her way to put a smile on everyone's face. There's no-one she won't accept into her heart. She constantly seizes attention wherever she goes and has come to expect this respect from everyone. She likes to think of herself as merciful, but nonetheless is very strict.

History: She was born on a small isolated farm. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the mountains to a summer home near a large cave. She would wander through that large cave 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. Jacoba took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up greatsword and armor she uses now. She has drifted apart from her friends and has been working freelance.
