Patti / Yrsa

Yrsa, Wife of Oleg

Of indeterminate race and indiscriminate inclination, this lusty wench’s
wild youth was spent as a camp follower. Age has slowed her a little and
Yrsa has survived to settle into relatively quiet domesticity as the camp
cook and wife of Merchant Oleg. Though not a fighter, she has faced down
many a bar room brawler and is not a woman to be trifled with.

She cooks, sews, embroiders, enjoys reading and craftwork of many varieties, and will set her hand to any task required with a willing spirit, if not so able a body. She makes and plays board games and enjoys teaching them to others: She must teach well since learners usually beat her at these games! She enjoys sharing tales around the fire and laughing heartily at the boasting of the fighting men.

Her closing remark? “Never trust a skinny cook!”
