BIO
• Edana was born in winter, in the northern reaches of Ferox. Her family's home was old, and had difficulty heating, meaning that she spent much of her early life in the bitter cold. She very quickly learned to adapt to it, to the point where she's now uncomfortable wearing heavy (or even full, sometimes) clothes in any sort of warmer weather. She had two brothers, one older, one younger, but only the older brother and her managed to survive their first few years in the harsh winters.
• She started practicing with weapons from a very early age, as soon as she could hold one. Her parents, both former soldiers, trained her, while her brother served as her practice partner. After several bouts of easily getting knocked down (or out) by her more experienced brother, she became determined to beat him at a disadvantage to prove herself to better. So, since he was most comfortable with a sword, she tried to learn axes. Although she was forced to use cheap hatchets and wooden training weapons at first, she was determined to gain the strength to wield bigger weapons.
• It wasn't until her teenage years before she made much progress. But when she did, she started going after the biggest and heaviest weapons she could find. If it was too heavy for her, it was an obstacle to be overcome, rather than a limitation.
• Once she was old enough, she and her brother joined the Feroxi military. But while her brother took well to it, Edana was a brash young woman with no concept of politeness and very little of obedience. She quickly found herself having and getting into trouble, and after a couple of fruitless years, she was kicked out for being unmanageable. With no skills other than fighting and basic survival skills, she soon resorted to banditry.
• She made a name for herself as a brigand for five years, regarded by her victims and crew alike as a terrifying woman with a gigantic axe who could swing it with alarming speed. Though she joined up with her crew for the money, she soon found herself enjoying the inevitable fights more than the pillaging and burning. During raids, she would end up seeking out the strongest defenders and challenging them, while her fellow rogues did their thing with less resistance.
• This came to its logical conclusion when she ran into someone she couldn't beat: a fellow axewoman named Freja. She appeared out of nowhere to defend a town Edana's crew targeted, and Edana fought her alone to cover her allies' escape. But while neither of them died in the battle, Edana was gravely wounded and faced with the prospect of being killed if she tried to return.
• Freja, having apparently noticed Edana's interest in fighting the strong, suggested that she try her luck in the arena once she recovered. With nothing left to do with herself, Edana took her up on it. Then, once she had recovered and whipped herself back into fighting shape, she showed up in a nearby city's arena with her oversized axe and stole the show.
• For awhile after, she continued to challenge what strong opponents she could find, both in and out of the arena, and searched around for what little legitimate work she could find with her skillset in the meantime. Soon, however, she started desiring more interesting battles with more at stake, and went seeking the Khans' so-called champions. She soon met with and battled the West Khan's champion and, before an audience of the Khan, several of her soldiers, and a few hopefuls she'd defeated to get that far, defeated the champion. Edana was offered his place as a reward and, deciding that it would give her a little more purpose than her life so far, accepted.
