Volga Fjorgan
MajorA 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, the towering yet tender-hearted Obsidian from Iron Gold, emerges as a formidable yet emotionally vulnerable force in the Red Rising Saga, her puppyish gentleness clashing with her immense physical power. Debuting as a stealthy guardian in a world of betrayal, she forms an unbreakable bond with Ephraim ti Horn, enduring his cruelties with unwavering loyalty that tests the limits of friendship amid moral chasms. Though her arc is nascent in the series, Volga's silent strength and tear-swollen eyes hint at a profound evolution from shadowed companion to potential bulwark in the escalating war.
