Role

Chapter 1

Droma was an ordinary svirfnebli woman living an ordinary life. She cooked,
she cleaned, she tended to her garden, she catered to the every whim of
her brood of nieces and nephews. She was not unattractive, yet she was
unmarried, unusual for a svirfnebli woman of breeding age, but not
completely out of the ordinary. However, she was content, and it didn't
bother her in the slightest by her lack of a husband. In fact, being
unmarried was a blessing for Droma - a husband would only mean more mess to
clean, more food to cook, and, in her mind, another big baby to take care of.
To top it off, she'd have to be subservient to this man-child, and the
thought of that disgusted her.

She was a strong, completely self-sufficient woman, and could not comprehend
how an adult male could not fend for himself. She firmly believed that if
not for having a wife or mother, the entire male gender of svirfnebli would
regress to become as unkemp and chaotic as the unruly Orc. Where was their
strength derived from, if not from their women-folk? If a man wasn't fed,
dressed, groomed, and had their ego's massaged by a woman, they could barely
function at all!

Being a woman with a very strong independent streak, and being unmarried and
having to tend to some "husbandly/provider" duties, she took strong offense
to being considered weaker or inferior to men. She tried hard, doubly hard,
really, to excel at all of the "male-oriented" duties of her culture -
hunting, mining, fighting, etc. And as she worked hard doing the duties of
both the male AND female, she began to grow stronger physically and mentally,
becoming more muscular and chiseled than most men and more astute at
managing her time as well.

Over time, she began to be considered "odd" by both the men AND women of
her kin - neither group was comfortable with the internal and external
changes she underwent. Her nature was no longer "feminine" and both
men and women alike were intimidated by her.

Character traits:
- No nonsense mentality - Droma is unconcerned with trivial things and
lame excuses.
- Hatred of sexual discrimination and inuendo. It is insulting to Droma.

Character development goals:
- Find characters willing to accept her for who she is and are not
intimidated by her.
- Change perception of how "females" should be viewed.
- Promote "strength" and how to reforge oneself - (Thror follower)
