Agnieszka Kaczmarek
|
How you view eighteen-year-old Agnieszka Kaczmarek depends completely on which side of the civic spectrum you're on. Is she the ungrateful, unmarried, obnoxious girl leeching off her long-suffering relatives and getting in trouble with that sword she always carries around? Or, is she someone to admire, someone who wants and works hard enough to make the impossible happen -- in this case, turning an insolent farmgirl into a capable fighter and commander? Either way, people tend to decide within minutes of meeting the girl, who has a tendency, like many her age, towards angst and overconfidence. Calling her hot-headed is a mistake; she's merely as stubborn as a mule and as driven as a con artist with a quota. She has spent much of her short life living in the same little sharecropper's hovel on the same little farm in the same little corner of Myrken Wood with the same seven members of her boisterious, foul-mouthed, slightly-criminal immigrant family. Like many of her peers, she has cultivated a healthy mistrust of the aristocracy and of the military; it is only recently that she has struck up a slightly uneasy but quite loyal official affiliation to the current government after being named Captain of the Myrken Militia. Agnieszka is more literate than she was, having been taught basic letters by her lover Aeryn Karolinger, but she talks like a brassy, well-wrought auctioneer. She is canny, bony, and black-haired, loyal where life calls for loyalty, and hopelessly hopeful. The Broken Dagger has been a revelation for the young farmhand: from her first exposure to Myrken's movers and shakers, she's hung around the place attempting to cobble a better life for herself out of their scraps, leavings, and occasional generous offers. Growing up in Myrken Wood has prompted her to take what she can get, and usually, what she can get is quite a bit. Currently(To be written) |
... yes, it's an actress. I can't draw. |
