Marjaana is an average sized woman of her people, although compared to some of the southern races of man that might still be short.  A woman well knowledgeable of snow and the cold, she has never experienced hot climates.  Her life has always been surrounded by snow only ever traveling southward once a year in the wintertime and otherwise staying in her home in the frozen north.  Often when she travels she often accompanies by her father, especially now as he begins to blind, to help him trade the toys they made in their town.  Every year she loads the sleigh, attaches a reindeer, bundles off, and travels south and returns home with plants that could not otherwise grow in her frozen homeland and tools that her people did not possess otherwise.  

For the rest of the year Marjaana is a skilled trapper, although she leaves that task up to her elder brother most days.  She prefers sewing the furs into clothes for her kin and small, soft toys.  She does have some skill in woodworking and occasionally carves a toy with her father, but it is not as fun in her opinion as stretching the hides, tanning them, and sewing the leathers together.
