Race: Human
Nationality: Avaar
Mage?: No
Age: 35
Affiliation: Talonhold

Goal: Partly to test if she might work as a full character, but also to have someone with some interesting mechanics (not being able to actively speak) alongside being able to get involved in things that are not quite as battle-shy as Sidony is as an untrained healer.

About:

Tofa is the sister of former Riftwatch member Magni (shared mother, separate fathers). She was raised as a ranger and scout for Talonhold. She is adept with hand to hand combat and has mostly done whatever was asked of her when it was asked of her; that was her role and she was content with it. She is very much the 'take orders first, ask questions if it becomes important' sort of person, especially if it means protecting/taking care of her family and the people she cares most about.

During a raid about ten years previous, Tofa was organising her people and taking point to rally the warriors and fighters, as well as doing quite a lot of war-crying. As a result of this she was attacked and had her tongue mostly cut off, leaving her incapable of proper speech. She can still eat (mostly, when things are mushed up or liquid) but she can't talk, so her communication is focussed on her own, made up hand signals (familiar to anyone from Talonhold/anyone who wants to practice it with her) and writing notes and letters to people if they want to communicate with her.

Tofa is a quiet and intense person. She puts all her energy into her work and is devoted to her family. She originally came to Riftwatch to support her sister and help investigate it for the purposes of making sure it was a safe place, but with the changes in the world she is now far more interested in making sure bad things stop and good things continue, in whatever way that might be.

She also wants to learn more about fighting. All kinds of fighting.
