Thraxa au Telemanus
MajorThraxa bursts with wild-haired energy, her freckled face alight with a laugh that booms like thunder. There's a squat sturdiness to her that promises unyielding loyalty and fun. Her finger-to-lips wink hints at secrets and schemes yet to unfold.
Thraxa au Telemanus begins in Morning Star as a young freckled prankster embodying the Telemanus clan's boisterous loyalty, participating in ritual chains that bind her family to Darrow's cause and signaling the next generation's fierce commitment amid the Rising. By Iron Gold she has matured into a battle-scarred veteran in her mid-thirties, earning the moniker "the Hammer" after losing her left arm to a razor and replacing it with a Sun Industries prosthetic while wielding a massive pulseHammer. In Dark Age she looms as a towering warrior with a warhawk-shaved head, both arms restored to flesh, and her signature warhammer Wee Lass, sustaining burns and armor damage yet radiating unyielding power on the battlefield. Across Light Bringer she remains a steadfast, aggressive ally whose physical might and bold personality anchor shifting alliances and critical combats.
Physical Description
Squat and sturdy, she sports a freckle-faced visage framed by wild, unruly hair that defies taming. Her eyes sparkle with mischief, often punctuated by a finger pressed to lips in playful conspiracy. Clad in ritual chains over practical attire, her presence carries her father's hearty laugh in every grin. A powerful Gold woman in her mid-thirties with a stout muscular build and thighs as thick as water drums stands ready for war, her fair freckled skin giving her a bluff face that breaks easily into a wide grin. Wild gold hair flows behind her head, intertwined with white feathers given by Obsidian admirers, framing her strong features. Her left arm is a prototype metal prosthetic from Sun Industries, replacing the one lost to a razor, and she wears tight scarabSkin armor with a massive pulseHammer coupled magnetically to a holster on her back, radiating the resilient strength of a veteran warrior known as the Hammer. Thraxa au Telemanus is a towering Gold warrior with a massive, muscular build, broad shoulders that loom over Gray, Gold, and Red commanders, a thigh-thick neck, and a giant head featuring a warhawk design shaved into her hair with a razor. Her face is covered in freckles forming a distinct mask, and both arms are flesh, ending in large hands compared to elephant feet yet capable of tenderness. She appears in full-charged wargear with a fox warhelm, a wolfcloak that shifts colors to match the desert, and carries her massive warhammer Wee Lass, which she slams down to leave deep divots in the deck, embodying the raw power of a sunblood stallion even when sustaining temporary burns or armor damage. She is a large muscular woman with prodigious thighs and a metal hand replacement. Her demeanor is bellicose, often marked by a mad grin or fierce anger, and she wears field chest armor while carrying her razor Bad Lass.
