Thora

Description:

Thora is a hardworking and strong-willed tavern maid in Graeton who brings a fierce determination and a no-nonsense attitude to everything she does. Standing out with her dark skin and caring personality, Thora is not just a capable server but also a formidable presence when trouble arises. Known for her reliability and resilience, Thora is deeply committed to her friends and the community, often going above and beyond her duties to protect those she cares about. Beneath her tough exterior, she harbors a deep sense of loyalty and compassion, especially towards those who have earned her trust.

Appearance:

Thora has a sturdy, muscular build, reflecting her demanding work at the tavern and her readiness to handle herself in a brawl. She has dark, expressive eyes that convey her strength and determination. Her hair is typically pulled back into a practical style to keep it out of the way while she works. Thora wears traditional green tavern attire, complete with an apron, which often shows signs of her busy day. Despite her muscular frame, she moves with a certain grace that reflects her competence and confidence in her role.

Personality:

Thora is strong, dependable, and fiercely protective of her friends, “father”, and the tavern she works at. She has a no-nonsense approach to life, preferring straightforwardness and honesty over sugar-coated words. Thora’s sense of justice is strong, and she is not afraid to step in when something seems wrong, often being the first to defend those who cannot defend themselves. Though she can come off as stern and unyielding, she has a softer side that reveals itself in moments of camaraderie or when she sees someone in genuine need. Thora values hard work and integrity and expects the same from those around her.

Backstory:

Thora grew up in a small village not far from Graeton, where she learned the value of hard work from her family, who were subfloure crafters. They would make various products from the energy crystals and sell them to surrounding kingdoms. From a young age, she helped with the business, learning how to harness the power of the strange crystals for the good of the people. When her parents were killed by Cosimir’s goons, Tobi found her and took her in. Over the years, she has become more than just a tavern maid; she’s a protector of the hearth and home she’s come to love, and the new father figure that was more than she could ask for given her sad situation. Thora sees the tavern as a place of refuge and community, and she takes great pride in keeping it running smoothly, even in the face of adversity.

  • Hospitality and Diplomacy: Thora’s years of serving at the tavern have made her adept at reading people and situations. She knows how to handle difficult customers and is often the first to sense trouble brewing. While not as charismatic as some, her straightforwardness earns her respect and trust.
