Appearance:

Aella is a tall, amazon-like woman with a broad, stocky build. Her coarse golden-brown hair falls in unkempt spirals down her back, and her pale green eyes are flecked with golden-yellow specks. Her piercing gaze matches the adamantine (quartz crystal) armor she wears.

Interaction:

Aella is not fond of authority and often replies to questions with sarcasm or an honest-to-goodness answer that flummoxes the questioner. Though she has a short temper and a strong will, she is not an evil person by nature and has no problem giving help to those in need so long as they do not deserve it.

Background:

Formerly a guard captain of Sasserine, Aella left her post when her lord ordered her to stop helping a pair of half-elves on their way to their homeland in the Mwangi Expanse. She hunted down the lord and killed him, then went into hiding for several months. When the lord’s replacement demanded to know his whereabouts, Aella concocted a story where he was slain by a rakshasa and his corpse taken to the water supply. After that, she simply left. Aella is a simple person who has never been able to settle in one place for long. She enjoys travelling and seeing new places, though the dark events of her past sometimes plague her mind, even though she knows well that not everyone can be saved. She is not an evil person, but is often feared or mistaken as such because of her size and looks. She wears adamantine (quartz crystal) armor to show how strong she is and to prove that she can bring down whatever comes her way. The eyepatch she wears is filled with a yellow liquid that she puts on her eyes when she needs to go into battle. The yellow liquid enhances her eyesight so she can see better and adds to her natural half-giant powers.

Combat / Skills:

Aella fights with her gaunted mace and adamantine (quartz crystal) shield, using her size and strength to her advantage in combat. She uses the yellow liquid from her eyepatch to enhance her vision, making her keen senses become more effective. While fighting, she tends to say things such as “"I got this."" or "Watch this!" in excitement.

Equipment:

Aella wears adamantine (quartz crystal) armor worth 8,000 gold pieces. She carries a gaunted +2 adamantine (quartz crystal) mace. She also carries a large adamantine (quartz crystal) shield emblazoned with a crest that is dyed gold. Aella takes care of all her belongings and will only expend them when it is important to do so. She always has some sort of backup plan should anything go wrong.
