Brunnhijld Ironbeard

Brunnhijld is a dwarven immigrant to Xi Fang. She is Barrack Leader at the Blue Heron Barracks. She regularly patrols with Bao Chen. She winds up supervising Reydi, Alissa, Ellywick, and later, Amie.

History
Brunnhijld never expected to be an adventurer. Raised by a family with very little wanderlust in their blood, she looked forward to a simple, domestic life: wedded to a hardworking dwarf, perhaps a smith or miner, and balancing obligations to coin and family thereafter. She started working at her brother's tavern at a young age, enjoying the bustle and industry of the place, despite her usually-shy nature. When she started having the dreams, she dismissed them as signs of an overactive imagination. The god that called her was not so easily deterred. Brunnhijld would not have considered herself particularly devout, but she followed the faiths, especially Moradin, like most dwarves in her home. The dreams increased, especially as the stars began to flee, but Brunnhijld did not heed them. When the calamity struck, it was exactly like in her visions. If she had listened, would she have been able to save anyone? With this guilt in mind, she finally heeds the wishes of the god who has chosen her, and sets out as a Paladin to redeem herself.

The visions send her to Xi Fang, where she applied to defend the city, giving her food and shelter while she waits to see what else her deity requires of her. Due to good work ethic, Brunnhijld became Barrack Leader—responsible for keeping things tidy, orderly, and otherwise neat. She was used to this kind of thing with her family back home and work in the tavern; the diminutive woman was an obvious choice. She's fairly well-liked, and it seems like she could be promoted if she continues to work hard. The missions that she had been sent on so far were simple and rather easy: scouting trips or inspecting and possibly increasing defenses around the town.

Although most unranked soldiers remain on foot, a particularly undersized warhorse became Brunnhijld's simply because she was the only one who could ride it.
