Liza Fox
The human highlanders of Khymeria rarely make the trip to Shimmer City for supplies, as they never receive a warm welcome by the Order of the Silver Shield. It is therefore difficult to say how a young lady of the archers has found her way into the ranks of the Moxian Gladiator camp. Even more strange is the fact that Liza Fox fights not for the Life Splinter, but Death, hailing from Beluroc and renouncing her Khymian heritage completely.
Liza is no pushover. She learned to defend herself at a very young age, when she was constantly bullied by the other children in her clan for a severe speech impediment. When she could not take anymore, Liza lashed out at her bullies with all the fury of a grown warrior, even throwing one of the boys from the cliffs to the jagged rocks far below. They did not mock her anymore after that, and once she had gotten a taste for battle, she could not be without it. Liza has been a fighter ever since. She was never the most accurate or strong of the Highland archers, but she could draw a bowstring and loose arrows faster than anyone else in the land. Since moving to Beluroc, Liza Fox has learned many impressive skills of close-range combat, always fighting with a dagger in one hand and a long spear in the other, which she can throw with deadly accuracy.
The Highlanders are a generally peaceful people, so Liza got into trouble every time she brought violence into their community. This is both why she decided to leave and why the rest of the clan was happy to see her go. Most of the Moxian Gladiators fight for their own people, but Liza has felt that she truly belongs “at death's door” in Beluroc, choosing to view her clan of origin as a pack of cowards. She will find the fortune and glory promised by the Gloridax recruiters, and she will be remembered as a proud resident of Mortis, not Khymeria. She may even sign the dark contract and enlist her spirit to the dark eternity, which to her sounds like a wondrous place. She has not yet decided, but she is still young and there is plenty of time.
Liza Fox is a short woman, but very muscular. Her hair is tied tightly into a single braid that falls to the middle of her back. Weapons that she carries include many blades, a hefty quiver of arrows, bow on her back and crossbow pistol on her hip. Her only companion is her horse, a beautiful black mare named Speah. At the Gladiator camp, she misses not the meadows of the Khymerian Highlands, but the open fields of the Beluroc Valley, where black jagged mountains loom overhead and dark spirits float on the breeze. It is there that Liza will one day return a champion after her time as a Gladiator is done.
