Velfreyja

Velfreyja is a member of The Party and current Captain of the Waverazor, after formerly serving as Quartermaster. She also serves as a source of information for the Party, utilizing her archaeological expertise to help inform the group's decisions and keep them out of danger during expeditions.

Appearance
Velfreyja is tall, standing well over 6 feet tall, with an athletic build and strong shoulders. She has very dark charcoal gray skin, bright purple eyes, and waist-length, shimmering white hair that she keeps pulled back in a complex arrangement of slender braids. Later on, when her hair is grown out by Aakeira, she trims it back to the original length and keeps it pulled back, but only redoes some of the braids, while the rest of it remains loose.

She tends to wear comfortable and practical clothing, even when summoned to a formal dinner with The Prince of Tolvera. In addition to well-worn cargo pants and brightly colored blouses, she wears a black vest covered in numerous pockets and a long white coat with a tall collar and large, exaggerated cuffs heavily embroidered in silver.

After becoming Captain of the Waverazor, she uses some of the versilk that she acquired in the Ancient Facility to make a uniform for herself based on the designs that were originally proposed for the crew, presumably retrieved from the ship's archives. This outfit features a white coat similar to her original one, with red and black shirt, vest, and pants, all embroidered in gold scrollwork. So far, she has only worn the captain's uniform while onboard the ship, preferring her usual garb for on-shore excursions.

Background
Born in an undisclosed location, Velfreyja is an only child who was raised in a group home run by the Artificers after her parents had their minds wiped by a person abusing a mind-altering artifact when she was 10 years old. It was there that she met and befriended Athvari, with whom she was very close, before eventually parting ways with him and, eventually, meeting and joining the Party.

As a member of the Artificers, Velfreyja hunts down artifacts and people who abuse their power in order to take the artifacts into custody. The purpose of this is twofold: first, to keep artifacts out of the wrong hands, and second, to allow the Artificers to study them.

Trivia

 * Velfreyja's pocket-covered vest is based on a travel vest Kerry wore on a trip to Ireland. She was so enamored with the vest's utility that she decided Velfreyja would absolutely have one.
