Mental characteristics

Personal history

Bee spent most of her life being prepared to take her mother's title as Baroness, and as such, she quickly learned how to hold her own in battle and in conversation. In her earlier years, she was well-behaved and worked hard on her studies, wanting to bring worth to her name through her achievements. However, her attitude shifted at age thirteen, after losing a portion of her family. Bee began to rebel and to question what she was taught through Orc society, which was only accelerated once she took possession of the hammer meant for her eldest brother. Due to this behavior, her mother kept Bee inside for five tears, continuing her social training at home while Bee "mourned". However, Bee refused to continue her battle training without her brother present. This would last until Bee obtained an application for Rampart Academy, submitting it in secret. Once accepted to the school, Bee confronted her mother with the choice and left for Rampart.

Education

Bee has received basic tutoring and battle training since she was young. She has little to no knowledge of magic, despite her father being a Gaiamancer, due to her mother's extreme distaste for magic.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Bee has currently completed a total of 6 Celebrations:

• The choosing of her Fake Name (Liså Njeukårr)
• The full growth of her Tusks
• First unrivaled victory in combat
• First social victory
• Surviving her first major battle
• The (controversial) choosing of her new Fake Name (Benætha Læk)

Mental Trauma

At age 13, Bee was on her way to bring her eldest brother, Sigurd, to his new home on Gröntfält, when their path between Vatteneik and Dromoga was blocked off by the aberrations inhabiting Dromoga. This caused the ships to reroute their journey to pass between Dromoga and Någon, where they were attacked by the aberrations. The Njeukårr ships were be victorious against the ships sent by Dromoga, but would not hold out versus the harsh winds of the Everstorm. Bee, her father, her brother Olin would be fished out of the sea by the aberrations, now stained blue from the harsh waters of the storm. Her other three family members were no where to be found. Bee and her remaining family were held on the island by the aberrations until her mother came to retrieve them. When finding that half of her family was missing, Baroness Ownka would launch an attack on Dromoga's second largest settlement in retaliation.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

To give Sigurd back his hammer.

Likes & Dislikes

Likes books, fighting, and learning about others.
Dislikes being forced to do things and people assuming things about her.

Social

Family Ties

Bee is the sign of political marriage between her parents for the islands of Vatteneik and Gröntfält. Though this deal has fallen through with the disappearance of her brother, her mother and father have remained together. They are the Crown Family for Vatteneik.

Religious Views

Believes the Everstorm is a sentient force of nature

Social Aptitude

Due to her current disregard for social skills, Bee comes off as blunt and abrasive. In the past five years, her sense of manners have crumbled. Though she is not socially adept anymore, she does enjoy spending time with people.

Speech

Speaks bluntly and to the point, not afraid to state facts. Will preface before she states an opinion.

History

Bee and Øwnka have had a rocky relationship since the incident, as Bee refuses to believe that her family is actually dead and Øwnka has been attempting to move her past it all. Øwnka sees Bee's rebellion as mourning, and has "granted" her 10 years to properly mourn before Bee must move forward.

History

Nicknames & Petnames

"Girlfriend" is more of a petname than an actual representation of their relationship, as both have agreed that going by societal labels for their feelings towards each other is stupid and confusing. They are 100% dating, yes, but they just say "girlfriend" when talking about each other to denote that to the rest of the world-- to one another, the 'title' itself means nothing.

Relationship Reasoning

They ground each other and get along without needing to try. Most of their free time during school is spent together. Being together is a lot like breathing for them-- something they do without needing to think about it. Overall, they just get each other.

Commonalities & Shared Interests

Sparring, walking, cuddling, getting work done, calling each other by their true names when alone

Shared Secrets

Bee's true name and reading habits; Grim's numerous war crimes
