Outward Appearance

Even though this young woman walks in an armour, with a shield over her back and an axe at her side, she does not look all that intimidating,  In her well cared armour that covers her yet not fully formed female curves, she would look like a big boy in arms. Under that horned helmet of hers, hides an innocent sunkissed face, with red cheeks and a pair of good willed and trusting eyes, that are often heavy with sleep. Niehstu was not born into the life of a warrior nor was she ever prepared for it up to now. Thus her recent training is often exhausting to her to the point that she'd be falling asleep the first chance she gets. even though she does her best to prove worthy of her pledge and oaths, she struggles hard most of the time to keep up with the rest and as a result she's often left with less important tasks. She does not complain though nor takes it to heart, able to keep her smile on as a result of been raised in a loving and happy home.

 

Background

Father: Winfred son of Ealdread, a veteran warrior now a breeder of horses, in his fifties
Mother: Mildryd, early fourties
Older brother: Coenred, 19 years old
Older sister: Hege, 18 years old
Older sister: Fridwyn, 17 years old
Grandfather: Ealdraed, elderly

Rumor: Niehstu was sent to serve the  Aethelwigend as weregild,  a penalty for the murder of one of the Reeve Harding's warriors during a feast at his Meadhall

Mount: (Haelcole- lost in the battle of Stangard) she managed to befriend a white wild horse, an achievement that was thought of as a good omen by her fellow warriors.

Update: She serves now as a folawigend in Helm's Deep. Those who knew her can see she has  grown in height, strength and confidence though her heart's softness will keep her from ever becoming a great warrior.
