Appearance¶
Physical Description¶
Marnfrid is a slender dwarf standing 125 cm (4'1") tall with rich pink skin and light gray eyes.
Her light red hair, now almost entirely gray, is kept cropped and braided in practical fashion. Despite the graying of her hair, there is little about her demeanor that suggests old age. She moves with energy and confidence and possesses the quick hands of a lifelong craftswoman.
Her expressive face and easy smile make her seem approachable, and she often carries herself with the theatrical flair of someone who enjoys being around people.
Clothing and Equipment¶
Marnfrid's clothing usually bears the marks of her trade: soot stains, bits of metal dust, and burn marks from countless hours spent at the forge.
She favors practical work aprons with numerous pockets and wears several pieces of jewelry crafted from unusual metals, each one a demonstration of her skill.
Relationships¶
Thororn Mountainguard¶
Marnfrid's boyfriend and a local butcher.
She is openly affectionate toward him and has never been particularly shy about expressing her feelings.
Groir Mountainguard¶
Her youngest child, still only ten years old.
Marnfrid can be surprisingly protective of Groir and occasionally worries that she is spoiling him.
Therser Mountainguard¶
Her eldest daughter and a carpenter.
The two often exchange professional advice and occasionally debate craftsmanship and design.
Lifdrid Mountainguard¶
A laborer and one of Marnfrid's daughters.
Though their professions differ, Marnfrid admires Lifdrid's work ethic.
Marnthel Mountainguard¶
A shop assistant and another of her daughters.
Marnfrid often visits Marnthel's workplace simply to chat.
Doros Bhubalmath¶
A close friend and trusted confidant.
The two enjoy discussing local gossip, art, and the latest happenings around the city.
Personality¶
Marnfrid is energetic, sociable, and possesses a vivid imagination.
She enjoys meeting new people and is often willing to try new experiences or entertain unusual ideas.
Though she appreciates order and organization, she is not particularly rigid and can become distracted by new projects or interesting conversations.
She is empathetic and genuinely interested in the people around her, often going out of her way to help others when she can.
Marnfrid also tends to become stressed fairly easily and occasionally worries about matters beyond her control.
One of her more notable traits is her tendency to flirt openly with those she finds attractive, much to the amusement—or embarrassment—of those around her.
Interests¶
Theatre¶
Marnfrid adores the theatre.
She attends performances whenever possible and has an encyclopedic knowledge of local plays, actors, and famous performances.
Craftsmanship¶
She believes weapons should be both functional and beautiful and often approaches her work as a form of artistic expression.
History¶
Born and raised in Agrovionimb, Marnfrid apprenticed as a smith while still young by dwarven standards.
Over the decades she developed a reputation as one of the city's finest weapon makers and eventually established her own smithy, The Intelligent Weapon Maker.
Though best known for crafting and repairing weapons, Marnfrid possesses an unusually broad understanding of rare materials and unusual construction techniques.
This expertise brought her briefly into contact with the Swamp Survivors when Corq and Anchor sought someone knowledgeable about unusual woods and metals. After examining Anchor for nearly an hour and a half, she concluded that his body was constructed from feywood, adamantine, and steel—an extraordinary combination of materials.
Her findings raised more questions than they answered.
To this day, she likely has no idea that her casual observations may prove critical to understanding the origins of one of the city's most unusual residents.
