Fantasy NPC
Ianna Sunderwolf
Dwarf Craftsman
“If you want strong steel, you need a hot fire, and I’ve never feared a bit of heat.”
Appearance: A young dwarven woman pauses from working at the forge to splash some water on her face. Her hair is a chaotic riot of disheveled blonde curls, her smile open and friendly. She nods at you, hefting the hammer onto her shoulder and stoking the coals beside her. She takes a moment to blow a stray bit of hair dangling in front of her eyes, before returning to the glowing metal held in her tongs.
​
Personality: Ianna Sunderwolf genuinely enjoys her life and prizes the freedom that striking out on her own has given her. She takes great pride in her creative work and pleasing the customers of The Golden Hoard, but her greatest joy is in helping her brother follow his dream of learning the secrets of magic.
​
Motivation: There’s so much possibility in the world, and I want to add to it as much as I can. If you want to thrive, you have to be true to yourself and fight for the things you believe in. It’s the only way.
​
Roleplaying Tips: Ianna is tender-hearted despite her strong exterior. She tries to see the good in everyone and is willing to extend second chances. Her massive curls seem to have a mind of their own.
​
Background: Ianna Sunderwolf is the daughter of Korbin Sunderwolf, owner and master smith of Sunderwolf and Son. Early on it was clear that Ianna was a prodigy at the forge and her father taught her everything he knew, grooming her to take over the business. When her father forbade her brother to learn magic, she broke away, and now crafts items to be enchanted at The Golden Hoard.
​
Traits: Craftsman, Good, Intelligent, Lawful, Resilient, and Strong
​
Dark Secret: Despite her father, Ianna is secretly funding her brother’s dream and arranged his ongoing arcane studies from her employer, Kaita Lacertainian. She hopes they will own their own shop one day.
