Background
Hidden: show
Born in the Utter East, Jana at first had a dual nationality with her father born in Konigheim and her mother in Edenvale. She was raised on the border of both kingdoms, but eventually leaned more towards the monarchy of Edenvale, and she followed her mother’s footsteps as a scout who was a border warden. She got to know both the kingdom and Edenvale Castle rather well, and during an event was recruited to join the kingdom’s armed forces. She was seventeen at the time.
Quickly it became clear her talents lie in the strategic development of the army, more specifically through performing reconnaissance, gathering intelligence, and securing resources. Only rarely she engaged in light combat, mostly to prevent enemy scouts from discovering too much of her kingdom’s army strength.
Jana has been nominated to become part of the Royal Scouts, a very small elite force operating at the utmost and anomalous borders with Konigheim. A group which also attempts to map magical gateways linking Edenvale and Konigheim with places beyond the World Pillar Mountains. This group also takes high interest in the Phantom Pass. These scouts answer to the Queen and the Queen only, and once chosen they are considered to be on par with nobility within their society.
Jana is also a fervent supporter of Queen Rosalind. Operating by the thought “Wind knows the truth before the Court”, Jana’s goal is to become such a good scout that said thought can be reversed.
She however still has a long path to go before earning the famous silver feather clasp. In order to be chosen she must refine her skills and talents, hence a few special training courses outside the kingdom, under all sorts of circumstances. Her first stop, the region of Baldur’s Gate.

At first glance
Hidden: show
Jana is a charming young female and she comes across as a bright appearance. Although such may have something to do with the orange color of her hair, it was more than that. People can quickly learn Jana is drawn to the land, and genuinely enjoys the extensive palette of sighseeings nature has to offer. She is very friendly and looks like a blank slate when it comes to Baldur’s policies and lore. Her outfit is simple, but for those who recognize, she also wears the colors of Edenvale on her.
Current status abilities (without gear)
Hidden: show
Strength 15 = Jana is a tad stronger than she looks like, well capable of wielding dual swords, and she can carry a full scouting pack for days. She is by far no brute as her strength is rather a practical wilderness strength.
Dexterity 14 = She has an excellent balance on rough terrain, is a steady archer and quick with physical reactions. She is not an acrobat or a lightning-fast duelist. Her dexterity comes from experience, but not from formal combat training.
Constitution 14 = Jana is tough and rather enduring. She is well able to perform lengthy marches, and enduring cold nights up in the mountains. Exhaustion she can overcome but extreme hardship (serious injuries, desert starvation) will challenge her.
Intelligence 14 = Jana remembers landscapes very well. After walking a road once, she can recall the bends in the trail, the water sources, potential hidden vantage points as well as ambush spots. She tends to learn new things rather fast without being scholarly academic, and picks up languages or unfamiliar dialects fairly okay.
Wisdom 8 = She is still inexperienced when it comes to dealing with ‘life’. Depending on the situation she can be overly trusting, or naive with people. For her it’s hard to read people who seem very confident, and it’s clear her focus is on the land and on facts, not always on motives. Jana may be smart, but sometimes just misjudges certain people.
Charisma 16 = It’s almost as if her real strength is her appearance, this rather natural presence. There seems zero courtly manipulation on her, just this honest magnetism. She may come across as very confident and trustworthy while she carries herself with quiet pride and a warm smile. She may be trusted quickly, and older soldiers may respect her even when she is still so young. And by the looks of it, she doesn't always seem to realize the effect she may have.
