Uthgerd Lionhart

Uthgerd Lionhart is a fierce and tall traveler who travels around the world without care. She has sworn an oath to serve, protect, stick by, and fight with Fennix until the end of her days. Her father is Ser Daemon Lionhart, a Knight from Qhat.

Background
Uthgerd Lionhart grew up in Qhat with her father and spent most of her life wielding swords. She later met a knight who taught her how to wield an axe properly, and became an expert.

In her early childhood, she was the tallest one of all her friends and of most of the children in Qhat. Because of this, Uthgerd was teased, picked on, and even beaten on multiple occasions. In order to get revenge on the ones who hurt her, she taught herself how to wield weapons, and was later trained with an axe. Because of this, Uthgerd stood up to all the people who have downed her and they all feared her antagonizing looks. She was never bothered by her enemies in Qhat again.

Uthgerd eventually had her first kill in her early 30’s, as she had gotten in a fight and swung an axe into his face, slicing off most of his face, causing the man to bleed out. Because what she had done was supposedly illegal, Uthgerd left her home and never returned.

Somehow, after leaving Qhat, Uthgerd developed a drive for killing.

At some point, Uthgerd met Fennix and later sworn an oath to stick by his side. Since then, they have shown an presentable bond.
