Personality and Appearance
To describe Rusilka as "ladylike" would be an overstatement, even among her own kind. Always available for a fun night, and not shy of giving personal details about herself after a few drinks, she is as rowdy and feisty in the way her people might enjoy, but her regular drinking and burping make her an acquired taste to the senses of non-dwarves. She's a built and stocky lass, heavy-chested, and as powerful as dwarves come. She appears every bit the firecracker: redhaired, freckled, and ruddy from intemperance, taken to wearing a wily grin in pleasant conversation, and smelling of inebriation. She likes to wear fine clothing, dressing in earthy tones and in a style which hints at the fashion of the well-off folks of Janderhoff, going for "functional" only when donning her armor.
Basic Knowledge Check (Background)
In recent memory, it has often been said of the Stoutbreaths that they have old souls, and seek to restore the glory of eons past to the Holtaksen people. Rusilka is not a black sheep in this regard. She has tutored in combat fought in narrow spaces, studied the fortifications of dwarven citadels, and even gone to the surface to borrow ideas from other nations. One might falsely attribute her courage, and regular drinking and philandering - even tangling with the rare elf, to the dismay of many - to veneration of the Drunken God; but truly, as she clarifies, it is her devotion to the Father of Creation that is her sole reason for traveling on the surface of Varisia, taking notes on other nations' designs of metalwork and masonry for her own purposes. She doesn't drink to a stupor, not since an intense blackout which lingers to this day. Her quest for knowledge led her to Audrahni's mission in the ruins of Thassilon, at the beginning of our tale.
