Greta Hailmere

Svor's younger sister and the Hailmere clan's war-leader. She is the cold assessment where he is the warm welcome, and the one who decides whether a fight needs to happen before he finishes it.

Warrior — The Frost, Hailmere Greta Hailmere The Name Carries Weight. So Does She. ✦ "Her brother smiles so you know you are welcome. She does not smile so you know where you stand." At a Glance Age Thirties, carries it with complete authority Role Warrior and war-leader of the Hailmere clan, the Frost Build Athletic and strong, built for actual combat Appearance Large black ponytail, red eyes, serious mature expression, animal pelt over shoulders, norse engraved bracers and belt, leather and fur armor with visible cleavage Personality Where Svor leads with warmth, Greta leads with assessment. She does not extend trust before it has been earned and she does not pretend otherwise. Her default expression is the one she wears in the image: composed, watchful, and entirely unhurried about forming an opinion. When she does form one it tends to be accurate and she is not shy about sharing it. She is not unkind. She is simply honest in the way the Frost breeds honesty, directly and without decoration. She reserves warmth for people who have demonstrated they deserve it and dispenses it in the understated way of someone who considers grand gestures a waste of energy. She has a dry wit that surfaces occasionally when she is comfortable. Most people do not stay around long enough to see it. The ones who do tend to stay. Background She grew up in Svor's shadow, which would have diminished a lesser person. It did not diminish Greta. It sharpened her. She understood early that being the younger sibling of the clan's most formidable warrior meant she would have to be something different rather than something comparable, and she became exactly that: the strategist where he is the force, the cold assessment where he is the warm welcome, the one who decides whether a fight needs to happen before he decides how to end it. She loves her brother without reservation and would follow him into anything. She also overrules him on occasion when he is being sentimental about something that requires a harder decision. He listens. This is one of the reasons they work. She shares the Rimborn belief that the clouds below hold their honored dead. She is considerably more vocal than Svor about what she thinks of anyone who claims otherwise. The War-Leader Greta is the one who plans the raids, negotiates the trade agreements, and decides when a grudge has lasted long enough to act on. She fights with a single-handed axe and a shield, precise and efficient, and has a particular talent for reading how a battle is going to go before it has properly started. She has been wrong about this twice in her life. She remembers both occasions in detail. The clan respects Svor. They are slightly afraid of Greta. She considers this an appropriate division of labor. ✦ The clan respects Svor. They are slightly afraid of Greta.
