Here is Pandora, a character to The Legend that was not introduced in the short story.
She is a warrior woman from the Zhalabar tribe, which was a tribe of noble and battle ready nords. These people trained for war their whole lives, it being part of their religion. Story goes, the founder of the tribe formed it on the strong belief that the world was going to end, and soon demons would rise and attack. He gathered people to prepare for the impending “underrealm and overrealm war”. That was 2,000 years before The Legend of Nym takes place. While their prophecy never came to pass, they did fall victim to a tragic Dragon Raid. The few that survived decided to disband the tribe and go off on their own, but they will forever have their homelands in their hearts.
One of the few survivors was Pandora. In the raid she lost everything, and has chosen to start a new. When she is wandering the country, she comes across Nym and his trio gains a member.
As a character, Pandora is quiet and serious, giving off the vibe of a brute with no brain, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. While she does lack the experience to have wisdom, Pandora is easily one of the most intelligent of the crew. She always makes decisions based on her logical thinking, and rarely takes action based on raw emotion. She has the mind of a battle strategist, always finding the best course to take, be it in an actual battle, or when she is trying to get Nym to cooperate (he is a very sassy young man). She is also quite the forester, and knows a whole bunch of extremely useful survival skills that the other three just don’t. And when something pops up that she doesn’t know how to do, she learns it. And quickly too.
Pandora is also one of the characters in the group who doesn’t use magic. She thinks that when a non-magic born learns the craft, it’s a form of cheating. She is very big on “everybody has a fixed fate” and stuff like that, therefore making her rare spiritual rants either very annoying or very inspiring.
She also has a heavy accent, so heavy in fact that when the trio first meets her, they misunderstand her and it almost leads to a (very onesided) fight.
