Editing Of Iron Hearts/Derwyn

== DERWYN the Hunter ==
'''Name:''' Derwyn (she/her)

'''Appearance:''' Derwyn is a big woman with dusky-dark skin marked by numerous scars small and large and obvious, well-developed muscles. Her nose has been broken and reset numerous times. She lets her dark hair grow too long and braids it into dreadlocks, that she then simply pulls back with a rough clasp during a fight. Her eyes are dark and glittering and her gaze is frank and rebellious. Her skin is dotted with numerous pictures of different beasts; a canine paw on her left knee, a rearing bear on the right side of her back, a stooping bird of prey on her left shoulder blade, a lindwurm curling around her left arm and taking up the entire thing. They're of varying quality and fidelity. She dresses well but is hard on her clothes, so while she wears velvet coats and leather pants they're often ripped and patched. When out on a job she favors a long spear of flexible, stained wood with a steel head and a thick crossbar partway down. She's usually accompanied by a golden-eyed hawk.

Mia is Aehlid and Derwyn and Caldas's wife. She's mute, apparently from birth, and communicates by various hand signals and facial expressions. She's a small woman and doesn't like drawing attention to herself; when asked where she's from Derwyn claims she won the other woman in a dice game.

'''Caldas''' is Ahelid and Derwyn and Caldas's husband. He's a tall man with a heavy frame who spends most of his time unloading barges down by the river docks. He's native to Shieldbridge and the most gregarious and well-liked of the family.

Derwyn's '''hawk''' is a brown-feathered raptor that she's never bothered to give a name to. Regardless, the pair obviously care for each other and they work closely together.

'''Reva''' was the hunter who Derwyn apprenticed under. Reva took Derwyn from a life of confinement and drudgery and expanded her horizons, in more ways than one. They parted harshly years ago, but Derwyn still finds herself drawn to memories of those times -- and news of the senior hunter's deeds.

'''Aehlid''' is Caldas and Derwyn and Mia's wife. She is the granddaughter of the head of Shieldbridge, though currently officially estranged. She grew up in Shieldbridge but no longer has a place there. She's most notable for her bravery and her skill with a sword, as well as carrying a pair of blades.

== Personal Vow ==
Derwyn still holds a flame for Reva, the first woman she ever laid with and the first hunter she ever trained under. Thought they haven't spoken or even seen each other in years, Derwyn holds a ridiculous hope that they can still be reconciled.

Derwyn has sworn to return to the village where she met Mia, and steal back the woman's voice from the head priest that took it away from her.

Derwyn has sworn to find a new, safe settlement for her, Aehlid, Caldas, and Mia to live in.
