Name meaning: Cynebur (literally it means Kin of Boar, one that has Boar quality within, in symbolism of the Maerc, boars are fierce family animals, able to defend and they posed as killers of the unwise hunters)

Appearance

Tall woman with hair in colors of ripe wheat, darker at root and lighter as goes to ends of her  long hair, of pale skin decorated with many freckles. Big round eyes, clear-blue, are crowned with long eyelashes in colors of ripe wheat. Noble nose, sets upon wide lips with upward corners, that ends her appearance of kind person. With ages that pass she gathered wrinkles around corner of her eyes that give her more serious and mature tone of woman in her best years. Strong, wide shouldered with muscular arms and long legs  represents typical mounted fighter.

This woman was never or rarely ever seen in dress, nor braiding her hair in beautiful ways. She would smell of simple soap, but more often on horse, sweat and dirt, wearing simple hauberks with wide silver casted belt and overcoat, padded leather armor with overlayer of skirt that went to her knees. She could be seen in colors of dirt, clay and dark burgundy, that is most often dye made around Forlaw. It was made from roots of Blotlyge, that many gathered in wilds.

Armour and armwear 

She is proficient with axe, sword, spear and javelin, and always bearing round shield. Her favored shield is Torsne (Snow-tower) made of iron and hardwood, heavy on her hand and with emblem of horse head. She is natural light horseback fighter, using javelins for ranged attack with a strong throw that pierces trough weaker iron armor or chain mail.

In close combat she used her shield Torsne with long sword Wyot (Wigheard), or dagger Deorcblot (Dark-dry-blood) that she only unsheats to face her nemesis - wargs. After warg from Misty Mountains mauled her right arm above elbow and below shoulder, it  was not clear will she ever recover again. But hard work at family crofts, strengthened the grasp, reinvigorated the lazy muscles. Scars are still deep and constant reminder.

Ubbe is a grey with rust brown mane horse with dense rounded body with a broad back, strong loins, powerful hind-quarters, and long legs with dense bones.  It is a massive animal measuring in excess of 24 hands tall. And he is sixth horse she rode in eored, loosing one recently.

Perks of character: Trustworthy and Intelligent, skilled with blade and coin

Flaws of character: Lacks warmth, cold as Forlaw winter at most, hiding her thoughts and pains, and tends to be unforgiving to herself and others.

Disability: Her right arm below elbow toward the hand was mauled by warg,  Temporary she has lost feel in the hand and cant move the elbow and hand well, though she can move her shoulder. It cost her life in saddle as a shieldmaiden. After many months and year her arm regained almost all of its previous strength and agility, though it does know to hurt her if she holds heavy shield too long or before the weather change.

Thank you Eohilda for wonderful banner! <3

 

Background

She was one of the riders, of noble family from Forlaw, shining gem of the green plains, daughter of Riddermark.


Time brought troubles, tests she didnt pass or understand, false heroes she looked up to, estranged from her former life she wanders, listens and tells tales of old. Her sword is sharpened to cut trough lies and deceptions, and shield polished even old to hide the gaze of untempered wrath behind it.

 

Aeschegen, the gray cloaked one, is the name she gives, and nothing more, as her story is better to be left in dark deeps of her memory, uninvited to the light of the sun.
