Personal information
Personality:
{childish}-{kind}-{resourceful}-{hardworking}-{eager}-{sarcastic}-{impatient}-{snappy}-{restless}-{lost}
Throughout her vagabond life, Ragna didn't socialise much with others - she only really had the company of her parents, and occasionally Skeldr town, whenever she was sent off to get groceries. Most of the time, unfortunately, it happened to be by stealing. Ragna very much does regret it to this day, knowing it was wrong, but also knowing that it was the only way for her at the time. Of course she'd have money some of the time. Since she's gotten to the Heidrgarde, she's gotten more childish. Not that she's acting like a whiny brat all the time, but if she doesn't get what she want, she might pout or whine - instead of getting angry or acting more mature. However Ragna does have a kind heart, which she shows whenever she can. It's mostly shown by helping out in the clan, with whatever she can, or by taking care of the younger members.
Even though Ragna is relatively young, she's learnt a lot from the books she stole stole. Gathering information from other's she's met, as well as the books she's read, she's become rather resourceful for her age. She's brought other skills with her as well, from being a vagabond. Although she still has a lot to learn, she's not hopeless. Trying to prove herself to the others, she's very hardworking, eager to learn more about her craft. She finds it interesting, and as she's still young, there's a lot more for her to learn!
Despite being hardworking, Ragna does not.. have the longest attention span. Already being a bit childish, she can definitely get impatient if she's waiting for someone and they're slow. Same if she's trying to learn something hard, she might get impatient and angry about it, causing her to get snappy until she's calmed down. She means well, but if she's gotten frustrated, she'll have few days of being impatient and snappy, causing her to be sarcastic to others if they try to joke with her. She'll calm down eventually, all children calm down at some point.
As time passes in the clan, Ragna feels more and more out of place. She longs for a sense of belonging, something to cling onto or for something to claim her, so she knows there's something out there. A God, a proper calling, anything.
History:
“high voltage”
Ragna was born in the woods west of Skeldr town. Born to two vagabond parents, she grew up being careful with where she went and never left the woods, unless absolute necessary. Her mother Edie is a hedgewitch and Lucian, her father, is... well, Ragna never really figured out. Part time thief, part time... mercenary. In any case, he didn't really care much about her, but rather cared more about Edie. In a way, Ragna didn't mind it all that much - he wasn't there all of the time. Edie did her best to take care of Ragna, but if Lucian was around, he'd rather have Ragna stay away, so he could be alone with Edie. In the times where Ragna and Edie did interact, she passed down her knowledge about herbs and plants - and their uses. Ragna quickly took an interest in witchcraft, finding it fascinating how you could read the sky, foresee the future and heal another horse.
“lies greed misery”
As time went by, Ragna grew more distant from her family. As she got older, she learned to stay away from the city unless necessary, since vagabonds in Onea was far from accepted. While being ushered away from her mom, by her father, Ragna took time to study witchcraft, reading the few books her mother owned. To study further, the youngster went to Skeldr town alone. Posing as a medic in training, unsure whether it would work or not, Ragna went into town to buy a notebook to document her studies. The notebook was cheap, luckily for her. Whenever she could get to it, she had tried to get some money from her mother. That way, she could buy things for her studies, should she ever wish to get out in the world and use her knowledge. However, on her way there, she meets a stallion by the name Johannes. He's kind and offers her company on her way. The two talk, get to know each other and get along well.
Johannes, as it turns out, is from a clan in the North-East of Onea. Secluded, but a tight knit community. However, for the time being, the older stallion lives in Skeldr town, offering his serivces as a raider and protector. Meanwhile, Ragna spends her time as an assistant to the medics in the town, learning more and gathering skills that'd be necessary, whenever she was on her own. While in Skeldr, she talks more and more with Johannes, and the two start to see each other as best friends or siblings.
Some years go by and Johannes meets up with Ragna, to give her an offer. Come back to his clan and live there, instead of as a Vagabond. Have a more secure life, become a weather witch with skills in medicine. The only catch is, that she would need to pose as his husband, since that's something the clan requires in a sense. Johannes knows that the two would never become lovers, he knows Ragna is gay. Besides, both of them view each other as best friends.
Ragna takes him up on the offer, seeing nothing wrong in going with him. She'd feel more stable and secure with a clan, than living as a rogue vagabond in Skeldr town, lying her way through becoming an assistant and learning from the inhabitants. The clan welcomes them with open arms, and the two get married quickly. Johannes respects Ragna and the two pose as partners in front of the clan. The clan is very private when it comes to others' love lives, and Johannes is very protective of Ragna, so no problems arise.

Chapter 5-7:
Nope. Nothing. Just chilled in the clan, feeling a lil lost.
Meets Ayleth, a kirin. They travel to Aodh and back, form a bond and depart when they meet Gosslyn, who takes Ayleth under their wing and offers them a home
Gets blessed by Alya and gets a gf too - what a deal, huh?
Quirks, habits and favourite things:
- Likes the sea, but hates living at the northern shore - it's cold, dark and ruthless as opposed to the softer waves down south
Patron Gods:
Familiars:
Snowy Owl
Ragna somehow bonded with a Snowy Owl, who she called Boe, while looking for herbs one day. Boe now helps Ragna out, when she looks for herbs - in return he can hunt and do pretty much whatever he wants.
Relationships
Romantic orientation: Homoromantic
Sexual orientation: Homosexual
Partners:
- Johannes , "husband" (NPC)
- Ragna is married to Johannes, however the two are like siblings, so this is just a ruse, for Ragna to stay with the clan and live a more stable life

Others:
Thormod , Travelling Merchant, War-Forged
A travelling merchant Ragna keeps her eye out for to stock up on supplies whenever he's around. Although he isn't cheap, Ragna enjoys seeing his face around, since she doesn't have much of a chance to mingle with others. Usually she invites him to the clan to stay before he has to go again - she always hopes to get news of the world around her and learn more about what is happening! And since Thormod seems to experienced with life - or at least older than Ragna - it's even better.
Morrigan, Valkyrie, War-Forged
The most terrifying Valkyrie Ragna has ever met, even though it's the only one. Ragna accidentally ran into her, quite literally, while searching for herbs on a nomadic trip from one camp to another. Needless to say, Morrigan didn't quite act with kindness upon this first meeting. After that, Ragna tried to look out for the winged Valkyrie. However, it seems like the Valkyrie frequents the same parts as Ragna, and she keeps stumbling into Morrigan. Maybe one day they'll actually talk together, once Ragna gets less terrified.
Ayleth , Outcast, War-Forged
The two met when the Kirin exploded into existence before Ragna's very eyes. Ragna was quick to take the confused, yet reserved, kirin under her (metaphorical) wings. The two have since travelled to Aodh and back, accompanied by Johannes, since he refused to let her go alone. A "work trip" to gather supplies and money, that's what they told the clan. In reality, it was half a year of searching around, to find Aodh and bring the kirin back to her supposed home. That is, until Ayleth suddenly got her memories back and vowed to not return to this "King Soleil". However, they continued their journey, getting Ayleth a prosthetic and returned to Onea once more. Once back in Onea, they meet Gosslyn, who offers Ayleth a home.
The two grew rather close over this whole ordeal, and Ragna learned a lot more about the world (and the old one) as well as who the Kirins were and this "King Soleil". More is going on than she thought, and she's not excited to see what Soleil is planning.
