Name: Bartha Rumold

Background: surface dwarf

Age: 23

Class: rogue

Gender: female

 

Appearance: Long dark blond hair with several small braids, a round face with freckles and green eyes. Not overly handsome, but not bad-looking either. Her clothes are mostly practical, although she does her best to stand out from any regular tugs. (Kinda like  this (minus the weapon… and beard))

 

Bartha is the younger sister of a merchant family and was born on the surface. For most of the year the family would travel around to buy and sell their wares, but during the winter, when the cold would be asking too much of the little ones, they would stay around Redcliffe.

 

She is easy going and in for some fun. She doesn’t know that much about mages, elves… but she would like to know more. Just don’t bother her with the religious stuff… she doesn’t care about that. She prefers to keep things light when it comes to conversations. She’ll hardly ever mention her last name, as she does not really care about the whole houses-system of the dwarves. Besides, they are surface dwarves, so it is not like their name matters (in her opinion)

 

Growing up with two older brothers learned her to stand up for herself. Although not going heads first when things get out of hand (she prefers a more subtle approach), she won’t flee from battles either. When she was at the age of ten, she once gave the middle brother a black eye when he tried to bully her for some of mothers cookies.  

 

Learning the art of bartering from young age, she got hooked to the game of buying things and selling them for a good profit. She will not bluntly lie, but it surely won’t harm to not mention certain details if they don’t ask about it?

 

She is not too fond of heights, so climbing rooftops… not if there are alternatives! Animals are also not really her thing: if they are useful, sure! But why do some humans insist to keeping those furry, stinky balls of hair as ‘pets’? 

 

Edited for adding Bface's great version of Bartha

[Lorien19]

A female dwarf Yay!!!!!!!!!

[berelinde]

I wasn't going to pressure Mahumia one way or another, but I was secretly hoping for a female.

[mysteriouspast]

Awesome! I wanna see a pic!!

[ChachiBobinks]

Yay, a female dwarf!!

[Mahumia]

But... female dwarves are awesome! 

 

And Solaas, there is a pic linked in the description It's not my own though, but I could try to make one too (although it will not be near as good as the one from deviantart)

1.What colour best represents them?

 

Blue: independent, cautious with letting people in closely, a bit selfish at times, angsty

  

2.If they were an animal, which would they be?

 

A brown (mother) bear. Brave and very caring for those she loves. But you don't want to get her angry

  

3.Which music genre would best describe your Inquisitor?

 

Folk metal. The song that reminds me of her is In Extremo - Wind. Also because at first it was planned that Dwarfs should get a German accent

 

Here you can find a translation, by the way

Spoiler

Do you feel how the wind brings sensuality?
Do you feel how the blood runs through the veins?
Do you feel how it sings?
The wind knows who I am.
The wind takes me there.
The wind stays on my mind.
The wind knows who I am.
Do you hear how the nightingale sings?
Do you hear the wild song from the Fall of Man?
Do you feel how it sounds?
The wind knows who I am.
The wind takes me there.
The wind stays on my mind.
The wind knows who I am.
Then when the cold storms come
To sweep away the leaves and snow,
And before the winter hibernation,
Only one more shot, straight toward the mark.
What is more beautiful than being in the light of the fire,
Becoming one with love?

  

4.What season reflects their personality best?

 

Autumn: both beautiful and stormy

  

5.If your Inquisitor was a force of nature, what kind would they be? (hurricane, earthquake, etc.)

 

A river: calm (still waters run deep), could be a source for supplies, but in a blink of an eye she can also turn wild.

  

6.What’s their alignment? 

 

Not really sure... either neutral good or chaotic good

  

7.Which element best describes them?

 

(adaptable) water

  

8.What scent would they be associated with, if any?

 

Leather and lavender (she still loves her bath...)

  

9.Are they better with children, animals, or neither?

 

As she is horrible with animals, it has to be children.

  

10.What’s the Inquisitor’s favourite food?

 

Some good roast, accompanied by a good ale or wine.

  

11.Can they cook?

 

Don't expect anything culinary, but she can cook.

  

12.Do they have any hobbies?

 

Bartering, but otherwise just hanging out with people and have a good time.

  

13.Are they very fashion-conscious or more practical?

 

Mostly practical, but it won't hurt if it looks good too.

  

14.Are they neat or unorganised?

 

Mostly neat.

  

19. What’s your Inquisitor’s opinion on each of the various races, if any?

 

No strong opinion regarding any of the races. She tends to be more cautious with other dwarves, but it's the individual that counts. Hasn't got much knowledge or experience with elves (both city and dalish).

 

Never met a Qunari, but she thinks they are scary (going on the few stories she's heard about them)

[BFace]

Well, it seems that Bartha is *me*. LOL (Only I am probably taller. *grin*)

[Mahumia]

Lol! Well, Bartha is definately not *me* XD Well, maybe size-wise...

 

*checks the little petting zoo that is her household*... yup, I'm not Bartha

[berelinde]

She is awesome, though, and very loveable!

[Mahumia]

Thanks!

[BFace]

She is awesome, though, and very loveable!

Yes she is.

[berelinde]

I've been on a Loreena McKennitt kick lately, and I think I've found a song for Bartha. It isn't her future. It's her present, and it's what her friends might say if they knew about her struggles. Don't look into the darkness; it's only lies. Look in your heart for the truth.

I've been playing around with the character creator today, so to give you an idea of what Bartha's family members look like (pfff, what a disaster... the game crashed twice due to alt-tabbing out of it and printscreen didn't work half of the time):

 

Bartha's mother, Ginbi

 

 

Bartha's father, Harkin

 

 

Bartha's elder brother, Boran

 

 

Bartha's middle brother, Lorim

 

 

 

[TreeHuggerHannah]

It is very cool to get to "meet" the Bartha family!
