Dobrynya
Once upon a time, on a frosty winter night… a man got lost in the mountains. And he would have frozen if he hadn't met a Volota-woman. And he wouldn't have survived then if he hadn't been pleasant-looking, if she hadn't been kind-hearted. So they lived through the winter and beyond, into the summer. But as summer was ending, she became pregnant, but there were no words exchanged between the parents, only affection. And then a daughter was born, half her father's height; the father was filled with pride! But the mother was in tears she couldn't explain in the Noriko language.
And the Volota-mother led her husband and daughter from the mountain to the village of Yasny, and the father settled there.
And they would have lived there to this day, and the people of Yasny loved them—how could they not, after she drove away the wolves and the troublemakers—but now, rumors say that an evil presence wanders in nearby Alexandrovka. A sorcerer animates the dead! The people pleaded, "Help us, Dobrynya, save us, defeat the sorcerer!"
Well, she took a club, a spear, and a shield, and Dobrynya set off after the sorcerer. After meeting the group who had fought off the sorcerer's influence in Aleksandrovka, she joined them for a while, but then broke off when they announced their intention to leave the area.
Enormous, muscled (like a weightlifter, not bodybuilder) woman who easily passes/is mistaken for a man. She has fair hair and often holds a nervous expression around strangers, but is calm in a fight. She carries a large (for ordinary folks) shield, a spear, and an enormous club that she wields in one hand.
