[Reworking. Ventyri is a mercenary and pitfighter, and the stoic muscle of the group.]

Stern, fierce, and forward. These are words to describe her. She's gone by several names, but the drowic 'Ventyri' is the most frequent. Also known as 'The Iron Scorpion' towards the west, she apparently gained a reputation as a pitfighter, and has shown no sign of pursuing anything but aggression.

However aggression is far from her default setting. At rest she is quiet, selectively conversational, and has a reserved but wry sense of humor. She takes all things in stride, ever planning ahead. Daily training is her ritual, and if she cannot be challenged in something on a weekly basis, she considers the time wasted.

Although she is not particularly artistic, she has a healthy appreciation for Jyridak's paintings and the girls' crafts. She considers each of them her responsibility, particularly the 'soft' ones.

The 'edgier' ones are regarded more as equals. Nemicus earns a kind of mutual respect as a fellow vampire, but their relationship is very cool. She gets on decently with Tart and Garox, who are fierce in their own right, and come from combat and strategy. As for Vesper, Ventyri appreciates her brazen but manipulative nature. They have very different ways of getting what they want, but the same analytical perspective.

Llewyr is a direct rival, having been hired to replace her after she defected from her original contract.

Of all the party, Ventyri connects with Paladin best personality-wise due to their mutual pessimistic and skeptical nature. Both believe in remaining several steps beyond, expecting the worst, and questioning everything. She is one of the few to tolerate his endless griping, and take his advanced machinations seriously. In turn, he offers her more than just his baseline respect.

Tank tops, belts, close-fitting clothes that allow good movement. Leather.  As a mercenary, she must keep both motion and protection in mind, always. You will seldom see her in truly casual clothing.
