Viking Name: Eykatla Ægleifsdottir. She goes by Katla. Age: 24 Gender: Female Preferred Weapon: Katla own and use a spear, a light javelin, a round wooded shield and a bearded axe. (I guess you could also count her rune pouch in here if you wish to be really technical about it.) Quick Background: Katla was born in what would later become Gotland, to a family that had gotten exceedingly wealthy from trade. Her father, who had wished for a son to represent the family for many years, gave up on his wish as Katla became his no less than seventh daughter, instead raising her as he would've raised a boy. With six older sisters, she didn't have to worry about any political marriages, and was raised to be as adept with the axe and shield as she was in strategy, trade, and traditional woman tasks - and that in addition to the craft of magic, which, being a woman, she could practice without being socially frowned upon. It was a disciplined upbringing, and she was raised not to be somebodys future wife, but the head of the family once her father had passed into old age. Her sisters had no quarrels with that, given that their childhoods had been groomed into a very different direction from Katlas. For several years now, Katla have traveled back and forth to her home in Visby and faraway in between, having covered much of western Europe on her fathers order, as Ægleif wishes her to see the real price of trade which is paid not in gold but in bloodshed and political squabbles. Before very long, she is expected to return to Gotland to take up her fathers duties, and she suspects this might be the last time she ever sails if she is to obey her fathers wishes. Not entirely sure what to think of that, katla have decided to simply enjoy the raid and make the most of it as long as she can.
