Medium height, long brown hair, grey-green eyes.
Attire: Usually wears plain blouse and skirt, leather surcoat to protect clothes from work hazards
Weapons and Armour: Proficient with slingshot, but doesn't usually carry one. Typically has a few knives somewhere on the premises. No armor except for surcoat - has survived a few street fights and theft attempts, but no fighting experience beyond that.
Personality: Optimistic, but used to taking the rough with the smooth. Normally quiet, but self-confident, finding more value in actions than in words.
History: Rothana is the eldest in a family of five children. She informally apprenticed herself to her father, a blacksmith, having a definite interest in his trade. This was extremely fortunate, as her father died when she was seventeen. Since then, she has helped to support her family by working as a silversmith and light blacksmith, although the occupation is unusual for one of her gender. Most of her work is with jewelry, housewares, hardware, and horse tack, but in her spare time, she has been experimenting with new steel preparation techniques. This has produced most of the knives she carries on her person. Since her younger brother is now able to support the family, she volunteered for the north country expedition, hoping to begin a new life where one of her trade would be more needed - and less frowned upon.
