Thrargobela Kragmane, or 'Bella', as she is known to her confidantes and allies, is a fierce warrior and skilled performer. Although her family was initially confused by her new identity, they came to cherish her as one of their finest defenders, and one that brought them much prestige due to her continued performance in the Fighting Pits. Her victories over rival gladiators, captive beasts, and mechanical traps there brought the Kragmane family great honour. Although she still enjoys her pre-fighting career of smithing, she loves to sit with her friends and embroider or practice courtly dance.
Bella is a heavily-muscled dwarf woman who bears a neatly-braided beard and a tracery of fine crawling vine tattoos crossing her cheeks and the bridge of her nose. She wears finely-made clothing with heavy leather panels sewn in, covered in heavy embroidery and polished steel beads. In combat, she bears a greatsword with hooked ends, and moves with a speed and grace unexpected for a stolid dwarven frame. Her exposed skin glistens with a network of old scars, long since healed. Those who cheer for her in the arena chant her family name- "Kragmane!".

How you can use Thrargobela Kragmane in your games: - Bella may be a childhood friend or relative of a Dwarven PC, and if she can help out in a combat, in between her arena fights, her skillsare likely to be appreciated. However, she has many obligations, and will not be able to babysit the group forever. Her involvement might be a gateway to adventures in or around the Dwarven Fighting Pits. - Bella might be able to help a PC fight an Honour Duel in the Fighting Pits, or might request the aid of the PCs if she has somehow been pulled in to something beyond her capability or understanding- pledging to help a friend who then turns out to be guilty, or becoming entangled in criminal activity. - If the ancient enemies of her family declare a vendetta and somehow eliminate the rest of her family, Bella's sweet nature may turn to violent retribution. In this instance, she may seek out old friends and allies to help her discover those responsible for the attack, and to assist her in her quest for vengeance.
