Cher

Backstory

Cher grew up in the shadow of Thornholt, daughter of a mountain guide who knew every hidden pass and treacherous trail in the Ironpeaks. When her father was pressed into service as a scout for the garrison five years ago, she followed his path—learning to read weather, track prey, and move unseen through snow and stone. She carries his worn compass and a quiet determination to prove herself worthy of his legacy. Now, with Thornholt under siege and her father likely among the starving defenders, Cher has returned to the borderlands as a freelance scout, hired by Aldenmere's crown to find a way through Kessian's lines. She is lean, weathered beyond her years, and speaks little—but her eyes miss nothing.
