Eira is typical Nord commoner stock and rather unexceptional in appearance; pretty without being beautiful, tall without being a giantess, pleasingly built without being ‘curvy’ nor ‘buxom’ on the one hand nor ‘lithe’ or ‘skinny’ on the other. She spent her entire life (until recently) on a farm. Her hands are rough; her limbs are strong; she has good, solid common sense; and she brooks no bullsh*t. Her voice, perhaps, is her most ‘fetching’ feature which is most apparent when she sings. She sings rarely.
Until a few short years ago Eira was a simple Nord farm wife, never realizing she wanted anything more from life. But then, one day, Eira’s husband died in a hunting accident and his brother took claim of her husband’s land, and took claim of her. When later she learned the man engineered the ‘accident,’ to lay claim to her and her husband’s lands, she kills him, reclaims her husband’s axe and shield, and goes on the lamb, learning to survive as she goes.
She carries her husband’s shield and axe proudly, thereby honoring his name and his memory, and dresses in leather and scale mail. Her long golden tresses are usually ratty when they are not tied in a bun. She doesn’t pay to much mind to her appearance as she has bigger fish to fry.

(Think of Eira as a little bit more of a 'Plain Jane" version of Katheryn Winnick as Lagertha in "Vikings")

It’s awesome to see new “faces”. Welcome to the site. I like steady characters that don’t need to stand out as paragons of beauty or strengh. Maybe some of the Cats will see her around at some point? You added some parts to your character description that are part of her history. You should actually take that part to the character history section and if ever you feel the inspiration you could always tell us more. Personally I love reading stories. I’m hoping you -will- write more but that’s up to you. Eira Frostcaller. Delicious, exquisite name!
