Personality: She trusts no one. She is not readily capable for forgiveness and her ire never leaves her. The war was a terrible time for her, and Hadwisa does not often speak of it. When she does, she does so with a strained expression and tears in her eyes.

History: Hadwisa was born into a poor family. Growing up, she dreamt of becoming a Paladin, to bring honor to her family’s name. When she came of age, she applied for a position with her town's local guard, looking to work her way up via merit and eventually become a Paladin in service of a powerful lord somewhere. She was an adventurer many years ago and she formed a blood bond with her Human companion (her 'brother'). During her travels, Hadwisa and her party rested in a cavern that was (unknown to them) infused with powerful dark magic. Upon awakening, Hadwisa discovered the rest of her party dead, transformed into horrible, mindless undead versions of their former selves. Hadwisa fled the cavern, stopping for breath at a small pool, and only then realizing her own horrible transformation.
