Her green eyes are a washed out color, more reminiscent of dirty algae or moss than emeralds. Her brown hair is straight and thin. It is clean, but seems to be oily and a bit stringy. She often disguises herself as a man, complete with a fake beard.

Sweet Talker Je'daa has a silvered tongue. She often uses words, wit and wiliness to worm her way into and out of tricky situations.
Bookish Much to the surprise of those around her, Je'daa is well read. She loves books and collecting new songs and stories from around the world.
Wanderer The open road and new skies constantly call to Je'daa. She is constantly searching for new things, places and people to interact with.



Equipment / Abilities

 

Equipment

Stone Axe

A simple axe with a sharpened head made from brown spinel. The handle is made from carved bone. It is well balanced and can be used in melee or for throwing. It is also practical as it can be used as a tool as well.

Story Book

Je'daa keeps a book where she writes down the stories she has heard and those she has written. The book itself is bound with soft russet leather and well cared for.

Song Book

Like the story book she keeps, Je'daa keeps a song book as well where she records songs she has written and heard. The book is bound with hard green leather and clasps shut with a simple leather slip clasp.

Spell Book

This is a small book with a silver cover and locking clasp that contains a number of spells that Je'daa has copied from various texts on her journeys.

Traveling Cloths

Je'daa wears simple traveling clothes. A pair of comfortable, blue wool pants with a white multi-layered white muslin shirt. Her robe is a washed out greenish-brown color- much like the color of her eyes. She wears a simple leather belt that holds her axe and a ruck sack over her shoulder carrying the rest of her supplies.

Performing Cloths (Armor)

As a secondary outfit, Je'daa has fancy performing clothes. These clothes actually double as padded armor. The tunic is made from a nice cloth of bright yellow with red threading and embroidery. The pants are made from a dark blue cloth with matching red embroidery. The cloak weaves all of the colors together into a geometric pattern of blue, yellow and red.

Disguise Kit

A kit with various materials for disguise, including false hair and skin coloration makeup.

 

 

Abilities

Storyteller

Je'daa is a collector of stories, myths and legends from around the world. She is quite adept at spinning a tale of her own or embellishing on existing stories she has heard, giving them all flair she can call her own.

Singer

Je'daa has a lovely singing voice. She is a contra-alto. She often uses voice to tell her tales, spinning them into song.

Sing Spell

Je'daa uses her storytelling and singing skills to weave arcane magic. She has studied hard in the Arcane Arts and has blended her bardic skills with her magical skills.

Disguise

The troll song singer likes to dress up as a man. At first it was for practical purposes, now it is just for comfort.

 



History


Childhood

Je'daa was born the fourth child of an ever growing trollish family. Her mother had little time for her and her father was always off fighting in some new glorious battle. Despite this, her childhood was pretty normal and she had no real trauma or exciting events save for the time she fell into a ditch and chipped her horn.

Middling Years

Je'daa was never formally educated. Instead, she took it upon herself to learn things. She taught herself to read and write by studying music and songs. Since then, she has devoured books.

Adulthood

As soon as she was old enough, Je'daa said goodbye to her hometown and set off into the world. She has been wandering from town to town ever since. She enjoys meeting new people. Soon out of money on her travels, she put her knowledge of stories to good use and started telling them in taverns and pubs and on the street for a few extra coins. Soon, she started weaving her own tales and songs and was earning even more coin. She traveled far and wide learning more tales and stories and songs to add to her collection. Along the way, she started studying the Arcane Arts as well, picking up a bit here and there from various interesting people and friends.

Current

This troll has styled herself a bard. She uses music and magic as one, though often tries not to resort to using the Arcane Arts, instead relying on her wit and charm and words.
