Volga Fjorgan
MajorAlso known as: Volga
A lean young Obsidian woman stands six and a half feet tall with a deceptively stunted build for her caste, featuring broad powerful shoulders, massive mitt-like hands, and an immense bulk that can eclipse light or haul grown adults like pillows. Her smooth unweathered face shows clear sloping cheekbones, big mopey eyes that swell with tears or darken with rage, a wide nose that flares in anger, full big lips, and a mangled smile of second-rate teeth, all conveying a puppyish gentleness beneath her giant frame. She wears black neoPlast suits for stealth or military chestplates and helmets for combat, moving silently despite her size whether hunching sheepishly in a booth, twirling an umbrella in massive fingers, or standing as an imposing bulwark with arms crossed like barricades.
Volga Fjorgan emerges in Iron Gold as a towering Obsidian woman whose gentle, almost puppyish demeanor belies her immense physical power, serving as the loyal companion to the morally conflicted Ephraim ti Horn. Across the Red Rising Saga, she evolves from a stealthy operative in neoPlast suits to a bear-like mercenary whose frazzled white hair and knotted-tree musculature mark her as both tragic and feral. Her unwavering loyalty to Ephraim remains constant even as their relationship shifts from deep personal bond to professional employer-employee dynamic, highlighting her capacity for surprising gentleness amid her role as an imposing bulwark in the escalating conflicts of the Solar Republic.

A towering woman of exceptional height, standing at least two hands taller than the tallest Gray, with a massively muscular build where her arms and legs look like knotted trees, her pale calves thicker than most thighs and corded with dense muscle and thin white hair. Her huge head of frazzled white hair looks one part tragic and one part feral, framing a face that can smile with surprising gentleness as she looks down at smaller companions. She moves with bear-like power and strength, able to lift men by the collar with one hand while holding a rifle like a pistol in the other, usually wearing a utilitarian jumpsuit that is often stretched or damaged from her immense frame.
