Origin Night huntress of the Skaldfell glaciers

Quessa tracked white stags across the polar nights of Skaldfell, where glacier moonlight was the last light anyone could hunt by for free. Ordered to lead the Red Huntsman's packs against her cousin Gunnhild's clan, she put an arrow through his messenger's throat and walked into the drift. He set his hound Rhask on the clan's cradle instead; Rhask turned. Quessa owes him every child in it, and sleeps with her short birch bow strung near him. She hunts by moonlight: arrows that skip from foe to foe, a silver shaft that puts a beast to sleep. Her destined office is the Hunt. She and Bramm will kill the Huntsman first and settle his horn after; she will not wait.

The moon guides every shaft. The night forgives nothing.

Quessa learned to walk unseen across open ice fields while trailing glacier beasts beneath the polar winter sky. Touching the silver crescent clasp at her throat, she blends into the cold blue shadows and slips through the moonlight. She reappears yards away with silent grace in her white fur boots, her short birch bow already raised and ready to draw.

She learned to soothe raging predators from the beast-tamers of Skaldfell who calmed wild winter wolves without shedding blood. Quessa draws a white-feathered arrow from her fur-lined quiver, nocking its polished silver head to her pale birch bow. She looses the shaft with a soft hum of bowstring, striking the strongest foe and weaving cool silver-blue mist that lulls them into deep slumber.

Tracking stags alongside Rhask across vast snowdrifts taught her how the crisp polar air reveals every distant movement. Quessa's keen silver-grey eyes pierce through blinding flurries, projecting a soft silver-blue aura over ranged allies at her side. Under this guiding gleam, companions steady their aim and draw their bowstrings with fluid speed to loose shafts across greater distances.

She invented this ricochet technique while hunting packs of ice wolves that scattered across frozen lake surfaces. Quessa draws her recurved birch bow to full stretch and looses an arrow tipped with a gleaming silver blade. Upon piercing the initial foe, the shaft refracts like a shard of pure moonlight, skipping in bright silver-blue arcs between nearby enemies.

She called down this flash the night she shot the Red Huntsman's messenger and fled into the blinding drifts. Quessa raises her short birch bow toward the night sky, catching the pale winter beam upon the silver crescent set at its leather grip. A blinding flare of silver-blue moonlight crashes down upon the target, bursting into radiant frost that chills and slows all who linger within.

She pledged this fatal shot when Rhask defended the cradle of Gunnhild's clan from the Huntsman's slaughtering packs. Drawing the silver-grey bark limbs of her short birch bow to their utmost limit, Quessa channels the unforgiving chill of the polar dark into a single gleaming silver shaft. The arrow streaks forward as a piercing beam of glacial moonlight, spearing through enemy lines and stunning everyone caught in its path.

Appearance

Quessa is a lean, light-footed woman in her mid twenties with a pale narrow face and keen silver-grey eyes and long white-blond hair in a thick braid ending in a single silver bead. She dresses as a Skaldfell night huntress: a fitted hooded parka of white stag hide trimmed with grey fox fur, a dark blue wool tunic beneath, soft white boots for silent snow and a silver crescent clasp at her throat. Her weapon is a short birch bow about half her height, its limbs of pale white birch with the bark left in thin silver-grey bands, recurved at the tips, its grip wrapped in blue leather with a small silver crescent moon set at the centre. Her white-feathered arrows have heads of polished silver and ride in a fur-lined quiver at her hip. Palette: snow white, silver, night blue. Silhouette hook: a hooded white huntress with a small curved bow and a crescent at her throat.
