Name: Eris Blackthorne, also known as Giant Killer or The Axe Woman.
Age: 20
Race: Human, though it is questionable where she gets her strength.
Physical Description: Eris is a tall girl, 5'10" with an hourglass figure. Though not exactly 'exotic' looking, many have referenced her to amazon women. Her muscle tone is lean, flexing mostly in the arms, though they aren't bulging. Her skin is fair, but can become a nice tan color when she spends long days traveling. Her hair is dark, and her eyes can change from emerald green to a hazel depending on the light. She is pretty, though most people become so intimidated by her style that they can overlook it.
Personality: She's a tomboy; earthy, adventurous, tough... but she has a certain charm about her that can only come from a woman. Sweet, gentle and considerate, Eris can come as a bit of a shock when you see her wield her giant axe. She is loyal and just, and she will see a journey through to the end. If you aid her, she will defend you for life, and a friend in her is a friend until death. She can also be refreshingly sexy, though never in a lewd way.
History: Eris has a past that is fairly generic. Her parents owned a ranch in which she worked at a young age. When she lifted her first cow cleanly above her head was when they first realized she was special. Soon she was set to more difficult tasks... like lifting boulders blocking roads and furniture where her mother needed to sweep. She was well loved in her hometown, and her first heroic endeavor consisted of saving a man from drowning in the river rapids. Since then, it was clear to her that she needed to seek broader horizons. She needed to discover herself, and perhaps find out why she was gifted with such power.
Eris left home at 17, and half a year of traveling lead her to giant caves. The monsters had been harassing a nearby village, and the young girl knew she could take on their strength. After a bloody battle, they were overcome, and from their spoils came her weapon of choice; Arch Devon, the giants axe. Standing two heads over 6 feet, it is a mighty blow which she carries around effortlessly.
Since then, Eris has been journeying on her own, helping where she can.
