SUMMARY
Appearance
Standing at six feet six inches, Ragnild is more a stout orc than a tall one, her body having decided to concentrate on growing out instead of up. Thick muscles wrap about body, more bulging and practical than chiseled and shapely; they're clearly visible on what muddy green swampwater-colored skin's exposed on her body. Like any orcess, she sports a pair of small tusks jutting up from her lower jaw, peeking out from her hard black lips, and slightly tapered ears that are partially hidden under her grey hair; she's done it up in a high ponytail to keep it out of the way at work, while her face is framed by twin locks that brush against her cheeks. Her face is less squarish and her chin more pointed than one might expect of the average Kervus orcess; along with her muddy skin color, it suggests mixed heritage of some sort, perhaps some ancestry from the heartland tribes.
Though most of Ragnild's front is covered by a thick leather apron, her furs clothe her considerably less from the back and sides, leaving little doubt as to her feminine curves. Weighty, dense D-cups sit on her chest, bordering on DDs — she's clearly the kind of girl who goes for density and gravitas over simple size. Brown-black, coin-sized areolae surround equally dark, perky nipples that push against her furs, belieing a raw, powerful sensuality fitting of a powerful woman.
Ragnild's defined abs stand out from the contours of her midriff, the result of a lifetime of heavy lifting coupled with evenings spent with Hretha and tea instead of feasting and drinking. She doesn't have the speed that would be expected of a proper orc warrior, but speed isn't what's required for her job, anyway.
Moving down, flared, motherly hips and muscled thighs fight for dominance on her frame — with how thick she is, Ragnild gives the impression that she could easily crush skulls between her legs and not even notice. Her entire front is covered by a long, thick leather apron, and her hands are protected from the forge by thick, elbow-length leather gloves. Even so, there're a number of burn scars on her upper arms, reminders of youthful mishaps learning the trade at her father's feet. Thick-soled shoes protect her feet from any inadvertent mishaps and sharp edges accidentally strewn on the ground.
The centerpiece of Ragnild's work ensemble is a stylised bronze mask shaped to resemble a ferocious sabretooth tiger, its mouth open and snarling, its eyes set with dark tinted glass. It's meant to protect her from the heat and light of the forge while working, but the amount of effort and fine detail that's gone into the piece makes it look more ceremonial than practical. Knowing her, though, she wouldn't wear it on the job if it didn't serve any actual purpose.
All in all, Ragnild's a honest example of stolid hard-working orcish womanhood. Not much for the battlefield like Arona is, nor sexy and mystical like her friend Hretha... instead, she's the quiet, solid backbone that keeps orc society in running order, inasmuch as it runs at all.

Interactions
First Encounter
The Champion will first encounter Ragnild upon returning to the Kervus Warcamp after the events of Right of Conquest (Arona Warchief conclusion) where they will be meet by the sight of about a hundred Kervus Tribe orcs making their way to the warcamp. As the Champion starts to move towards the camp, Ragnild puts a hand on their shoulder and notes that:
- If the Champion is an Orc; the Champion is not an orc from her tribe and questions what the Champion is doing here.
- If the Champion is not an Orc; the Champion doesn't look like a slave and that they are pretty brazen to be out in the open in front of an entire warcamp of orcs.
Arona will come up, having finished a cursory inspection of the laden carts brought by the group, and will introduce the Champion to Ragnild. When Ragnild asks about Argoth, Arona will inform her of the fight that went down during the Right of Conquest, including the Champion's contribution. As Ragnild starts to mention Pavo, Arona states that he'd been sent back to the slave pens for failing the tribe for the last time (or for betraying the tribe for a good cocksucking is the Champion gave him some Oral Service). She thanks the warchief for personally greeting her and informs that she'll get her things set up and then settle down for some tea with Hretha.
First Visit
The Champion will be able to find Ragnild at the armorer's hut, where Pavo could be found during Right of Conquest. Upon entering the hut, the Champion will note that:
- If the Champion had met Pavo before; the dark atmosphere of the hut has been replaced with light from a large open window and the generic works of Pavo have been replaced with pieces that posses a far more orcish character.
- If the Champion had not met Pavo; the definite atmosphere and there's plenty amount of light for a hut that wasn't made for such as well as the pieces on the racks and walls having a very orcish character to them.
Ragnild herself is bent over an anvil, hammering a good temper into an orc-sized cleaver. When the Champion gets her attention, she sets sword bland on a bench and turns towards them. Instead of being greeted by Ragnild's orcish face, the Champion is greeted by a heavy bronze mask shaped like a sabertooth cat. This sudden revelation causes the Champion to instinctively take a step back. Ragnild apologies and goes to joke about her father's forge-mask was that of a boar to be more hideous and ferocious than hers, which was said to remind him of her mother on a bad day.
When the Champion remarks that Ragnild is quite busy, she goes on to explain that Pavo had made a mess of things, now she's the one left holding the bag and Arona probably expects her to fix everything. Ragnild goes on to mention that the Champion can get outfitted during the hut's operating hours of dawn to dusk and come in the evening if the Champion wants to be social. When asked why she doesn't join the other orcs in the warriors lodge, she states that she's grown to prefer tea with Hretha.
