โ Basic Information
Name: Una Gyles
Age: 19
Sex: Female
Race: Human
Height: 5'4
Status: Unmarried
Hair/Eye Color: Ashen grey / green
Complexion/Body type: Olive/Toned
Scars: Over left brow and cheek, across the bridge of her nose and various others upon her arms and hands.
Profession: Apprentice Blacksmith and vendor
Residence: City of Geneheim, valley of the fallen star.
Living Relatives: Symond Gyles (Father)
Preferred Weapon(s): Sword or sledgehammer
Favorites: Enjoys the taste of crisp green apples, usually acquired by trade or bargain at the market since the fruit does not grow anywhere near Geneheim. Una adores live music but refuses to dance. Cooking for her father is routine but finds that his compliments, as exaggerated as they are, makes her happy. Lastly, Una loves spectating tournaments. Seeing the potential of the Forge's creations shine through in competitive sparring leaves her with an aching face from smiling so much.
โ Appearance and Personality
As is expected with her boyish nature, Una's ashen grey locks feather outward from the haphazard attempts to tie it back. Her muscular build is often flaunted through short sleeved tunics, skin-tight leggings and her leather apron. The odor wafting from her skin is a concoction of charred wood, steel and sweat. Una only speaks Common but does so with a rustic accent (ex. m'lady, m'lord, ye, yer).

โ Geneheim's Finest
Granted that Symond yearned for a son, the death of his wife and devotion to their love had ended his pursuits in fulfilling that desire. He sought none other to bed and was responsible for raising the only kin he had, his daughter Una. His shop, the Forge of Geneheim, catered to the old ways of bladesmithing. He scoffed at the idea of magic and enchantments tainting his weapons. This significantly impacted the demand for his services and Una's pleas to accept the new trend moved him not an inch from his reservations.
While Symond is away on his deliveries or prepping for the local tourney, Una is left to work the forge and act as its vendor. Unbeknownst to Symond, the Forge closes earlier than scheduled, his only kin mingling with the local enchanter with coin purse in hand.
โ Additional Lore
Tournament of Might: Geneheim takes pride in providing the traditional entertainment of a tourney. There are two categories โโ jousting and melee. Each participant is to partake in one. There are two victors per tourney. Each earn five hundred gold and the right to brag.
Eve of Starfall: Once a year, typically before Summer Solstice, a meteor shower is predicted to pass over the skies of Geneheim. Citizens gather at the market square for live music, a feast, and other festivities. Around midnight, the lights of Geneheim grow dim to allow for a clear sight of the stars. It is said, the birth of the prosperous city was thanks to a star crashing near the mountain. It formed a valley which provided an abundance of resources to the first settlers; witnesses to the crash itself.
PERSEUS: A Shire Horse with coat of ebony and scattered spots of white. Percy, as he tends to be called, is under the employ of the Forge as a drafthorse. When not on delivery routes, he is often seen in the lone stall upon the Forge's property.
