name: Tera Greenwood

age: 15

physical description: 5'1, petite with light brown hair and hazel eyes.

race: human

occupation: daughter of a blacksmith

strengths/talents: When her mother was still alive, she taught Tera the womanly arts but, since she died, Tera mostly helps her father, manning the bellows and fetching buckets, the small tasks of a smithy. She also makes arrows from her father's arrowhead which are in wide demand in these troubled times. She hunts when she can get away with it.

history: Until recently, she was a simple girl, helping her mother out ith the knitting and cooking. Her father was a blacksmith and had an apprentice. Even in these bad times, people still need ploughshares. A few years ago, her mother died of a virulant fever. Tera tried to continue with the knitting but it fell to the wayside and was abandoned entirely when her father's apprentice left to join some army or the other. slowly, Tera began taking over what duties she could, though she could do none of the actual smithing with her light frame. She did, however, have a hand for fletching arrows which came in handy.

She had been a mediocre hunter until recently, being taught by her father since she had no brothers. Recently, she has taken over what hunting she can as well and has improved tremendously. Hunting is the only time she feels truly at peace and one with the world.
