NAME: Merdha

AGE: 52

RACE: Rohirric

GENDER: female

WEAPONS: broom and dustpan, Waggling Finger of Disappointment

APPEARANCE: around 5'8", golden hair that's going silver; stoutly built. An averagely pretty Rohirric lass back in the day, but the years and the child-bearing have caught up with her. She is huggably round with a lap that's simply made for small children to sit in. Clothed practically in skirt, blouse, apron. Hair braided singly and twisted into a knot at the base of her neck each day.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Merdha is the maternal sort and does not hesitate to lecture those of any station if she thinks that they haven't eaten enough or done their chores. She is especially good with children, but she is well liked by nearly all adults, too. Her presence is relaxing, even when she is cocking her head an looking at you in such a way as to ask "Now why haven't your chores been finished yet? Hm? Hop to it!" She puts up with no nonsense and has a weakness for both a good story (clever excuses have been known, if they are original and funny enough, to get their giver out of work) and a good slice of pie.

HISTORY: Merdha grew up in a traditional Rohirric household with traditional Rohirric values. She worked as a maid in her youth to bring extra money to her parents and married a horseherder. She happily raised the four of her seven children that made it out of the cradle and cared for other children as well until they were all old enough to tend for themselves. When her children grew into adolescence and adulthood and began to care for themselves, Merdha fell into a job as a maid and all around housekeeper for an elderly couple to bring in extra money to her household and to take up the time that her husband spent away from home. The couple have recently passed away and Merdha is looking for a new place of employment in which to do such things as light cleaning, bed making, and whatever else an aging grandmotherly sort can do that won't break her back.
