Wears weather-stained leathers, a green-gray cloak, and carries a longbow with worn fletchings. A faint scar cuts across her jaw. #### **Personality & Traits** - **Personality Summary:** Forthright and unsparing, Tamsen doesn’t mince words or tolerate wasted time. She has a quick wit sharpened by hardship and a code of brutal honesty that can catch others off-guard. Loyal once earned, but never blindly. - **Strengths & Skills:** Deadeye aim, battlefield tactics, morale enforcement, veteran of multiple border raids. Excellent at reading the emotional “temperature” of a unit. - **Weaknesses & Flaws:** Has little patience for idealism or vague promises. Distrusts political structures and noble rhetoric. Tends to challenge authority early—and often. - **Mannerisms & Speech Patterns:** Speaks plainly, often with dry sarcasm. Her voice carries the edge of someone used to being obeyed in camp, not coddled in court. #### **Background & Story Role** - **Backstory Summary:** Once a scout-archer on the Brevic frontier, Tamsen earned her name for the way she dressed down a cowardly lieutenant mid-battle. Fought alongside [[Brinnard Whitewood]] during the Blackthorn Retreat. She stayed with his forces longer than most, unofficial but indispensable. - **Current Motivations:** She wants to build something _real_—a force with backbone, not ceremony. She's watching to see if Rivermarch is honest about what it's becoming. - **Connections & Relationships:** Loyal to [[Brinnard Whitewood]] - **Factions or Allegiances:** Formerly Whitewood Company. No current formal allegiance. - **Notable Items or Equipment:** Longbow inherited from a fallen comrade, reinforced travel cloak with personal sigil stitched into the lining. #### **Additional Notes** - **Recurring Themes:** Trust earned through confrontation, forging strength from friction, female mentorship or rivalries. - **Player/GM Notes:** Tamsen respects bluntness and hates posturing. Her loyalty is a slow-burn—hard-won, but deep once established.
