Fearonuh

Fearonuh is a 60 yo female full blooded orc, with dark green skin and short grey hair. She walks with a hunched back but refuses to use a cane. Her posture gives off a weak and gentle appearance, but when she speaks her voice is deep and rugged. Fearonuh has very obviously seen war in her life; she has a face full of scars, one cloudy white eye, and some of her tusks look to have been broken off. Despite her rougher appearance, Fearonuh is always decked out in head-to-toe in beautiful hand-made traditional jewelry. She has been living and working as a jewelry saleswoman in the Trades Ward in Waterdeep for 10 years. Fearonuh is so strong that she can forcefully bend metal around gems with her bare hands. 

Fearonuh has told her friends and neighbors that she escaped to Waterdeep after evacuating her home in The Kingdom of Many-Arrows due to a civil war between her clan, and the clan from The Savage North. Her mother was killed at the start of the war when she was only 5 years old (1437). When she was 18 (1450) she married another orphan Shurek, and quickly had a daughter Dawnkee. Sadly her husband and only daughter were killed by the enemy horde (1480). The rebels kept her alive as a slave for 10 years, but she was eventually able to escape by using her jewelry-making skills to make a shiv, and kill a prison guard. She wore his armor out of the prison, stole a horse, and rode for as long as she could, eventually arriving at Waterdeep(1490). She made her way to the Trades Ward, befriended the local orc community, and worked for other merchants until she saved enough to open her own jewelry shop. By the time our story starts (1492), Fearonuh is an established and experienced saleswoman, who's known and liked hroughout the local trades community.

Eagle

Fearonuh has the action Eagle: While you are raging and aren't wearing heavy armor, other creatures have a disadvantage on opportunity attack rolls against you, and you can use the Dash action as a bonus action on your turn. 

Fearonuh was bestowed the Eagle as her spirit guide by the elders in her tribe when she was a child. The reason for the eagle being her totem is due to her strong intuition and sense of awareness. She may be a larger orc, but she surely is swift compared to her counterparts. Her movements both on and off the battlefield have been described as precise dash-like movements, with the intent behind each step, kind of like when an eagle soars around water, before diving head first in to catch a fish. Even though Fearonuh is a brute force, she is very calculated and doesn't make a move without having thought it out first.

Fearonuh is not just spiritually connected to the eagle, but very much so physically as well.  Since Fearonuh also can Speak with Animals and has Beast Sense, she can communicate with real eagles, and if the majestic beasts let her pet them (which they often do) she can use her Beast Sense to see through their eyes, and hear what they hear. Friends and customers have been known to comment on the fact that real-life eagles tend to find themselves soaring, landing, and nesting near Fearnouh wherever she stays. I wouldn't be surprised if, in the coming weeks/months, an eagle's nest appears on the roof of our tavern. 

Tiger

At 6th level, Fearonuh gains a magical benefit based on the totem animal of your choice. You can choose the same animal you selected at 3rd level or a different one. Level 3 I chose Eagle, and at level 6 I chose Tiger. This gives me proficiencies in Athletics and Acrobatics. 


Orcs being such massive creatures don't tend your typical house pets like cats or dogs; they tend to be creatures that match their size, like tigers and wolves. Fearonuh remembers less and less about her mother's physical appearance as the years go on,  but she'll never forget her mother's voice when telling a story. The one story that always sticks out in Fearonuhs mind as she lays in bed at night is about her mother's travels as a teenager, with her familiar and best friend, Shera, a beautiful all-white female tiger. 

I wonder if this memory has any deeper connection as to why Fearonuhs powers manifested in the beast form of TIGER.
