Astrid Dragonheart

Born a peasant in remote mountain village. Astrid Dragonheart learned to survive. When raiders attacked her home, she defended it with blacksmith's hammer, catching the eye of a passing knight. Taken under his wing, she trained relentlessly, rising through the ranks with courage and skill. Mocked for her birth and gender. Astrid silenced her critics on the battlefield. Now the King most trusted guard, she wears her scars as proof that honor and strength are forged- not inheritied.
