Hira is simply an outgoing person. She is used to having to take care of her family sticking close to them and always has something to talk about. She admires and respects those similar to her and has no need to lie. She outright speaks her mind and will do as she sees fit, downright noisy and disorderly at times when she’s in the worst of moods. When it comes to directly plot harm to those she respects/family she will bear a grudge till the day she dies, it’s beyond rare for her to forgive.
History:
While their parents went to hunt, gather, or simply needed to work on the burrow her older brother, Halvard, only a few years older would watch over Hira and her twin. She spent hours roughhousing and playing various games with them. Some tailor to help with hunting when they were older. Day and night the three of them always had each other’s company within the pit house, hidden away, completely blending into the surroundings. When the season changed they moved. Occasionally meeting with other mustelids on the way trading goods with nomads and settlers alike. Hira would cling to her mother's back, her big brown eyes peering from behind. Her family was quite tall. Her father was practically a Halvard while her mother quite a bit smaller was still taller than others. Nonetheless, once the trade was done they’d be on their way.
When the leaves fell life got harder. creatures always went into hiding, snow covered every inch and the burrow was filled with the few animals they had. Which kept it warm but it smelled like a barn. Food was scarce, anything that wasn’t dried or preserved went first. If her parents went to hunt they were lucky to bring back small hares. The only thing that was occasionally fresh was fish. Since the burrow led to a frozen lake the adults or those who were simply old enough to hunt could still go fish. Though their time in the water was severely limited and didn’t always guarantee a catch. No one was allowed outside besides her parents, the long nights were filled with dangers not worth the risk. When the snow melted they would make a small terk back to the spring/summer den. Only patches of snow remained and everything came back to life. Hira would hop from patch to patch with Jarek close behind. In the springtime, Hira went swimming with her Father, Halvard, and Jarek often. The close age gap gave them the opportunity to learn how to hunt in the water with their older sibling. This pattern of moving each season, learning and growing continued on for years.
Hira and Halvard spent their time split between learning sigilmancy from their mother or hunting together with Jarek. Hunting came to her more naturally than sigilmancy. Most nights were filled with studying the same thing ad nauseam. It took years for her to truly grasp the most basic sigilmancy, nothing dramatic, very small things.
By 15 Hira, and her twin, could hunt on her own both on land and in the water. The trio worked well as a team, Halvard being the lead hunter while Hira and Jarek assumed various roles as needed. Not every hunt was successful. Halvard continued to push each himself and his siblings. Hira was always willing to accept his challenge. When they took on a challenge too large for them to handle Hira lost her arm and Jarek lost his leg, while Halvard managed to ward off the beast still came home unscathed now covered in deep slashes.
It took Hira months to recover and years to learn how to hold her weapon again. She could handle herself again with ease despite the lack of her arm and crude sigilmancy. Hira’s spent the 5years between home and exploring the area’s around it.
