Alva Brightwood
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Alva is pale to the point of sickness and has lost some weight in recent years, making her very slim and almost gaunt.
Identifying Characteristics
She has long scars on her face, going over her right eye, which is blind.
Apparel & Accessories
When working in the tavern she wears simple but sturdy, nature-toned clothing. Although not actively participating in fights anymore, she still keeps her sword close and her gambeson and plate mail battle-ready.
Specialized Equipment
Alva always wears a simple amulet around her neck. The amulet was forged from silver and has a glass bead, made by mixing molten glass with her husband's ashes, set into it.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Alva used to actively fight against the armies of the Necromancer Tyrant with her Alathar Brightwood until he got killed and was raised as a minion to the Necromancers army. She ended up killing her raised partner and burning his body. At the behest of her sister, she has since stopped participating in skirmishes.
Employment
Together with her sister Isabelle, she runs The Dancing Damsels Inn in Moorbrook. Alva is one of the key figures of the resistance, providing a safe haven and a place to gather recourses for other members of the Resistance.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
She is still suffering from the loss of her husband and Thiramin, and as a consequence, she is very protective of those she loves, while having little regard for her own survival and well-being. She is always busy doing something or another for The Resistance, mostly to keep herself occupied and distracted from her loss.
Vices & Personality flaws
Alva blames herself for Alathar's death. He died by protecting her from an arrow that most likely would have killed her. She believes that it should have been her who died in that battle.
Personality Quirks
As a result of the death of her Thiramin, she gets cold really easily and occasionally starts randomly shivering.
