Lina Stein

"Do not fight the enemies of past. Fight only the enemies of the here and now."

Lina Stein was a Shifter Ranger played by Naomi.

Pre-Inquisition
Very little is known about her life before the Inquisition other than she had no surviving family and wandered around Svarland as a Ranger of the North, protecting villages and towns from whatever horrors came too close.

Lycanthropy
Lina's first meeting with Klemens Vollmacht, while he was still an initiate, involved her saving him from a werewolf. This incident left her infected with Lycanthropy. Johanna Loche took Lina to an isolated temple that sanctified Lina and purged her off all but a few taints of the curse. After Loche's disappearance, Klemens offered her a position in his new Inquisition team and she accepted.

Appearance
A powerfully built woman towering over most at 6'3", Lina was extremely northern in both appearance and demeanour. She had long pale blond hair that was tied back out of her face and dark brown eyes. Typically, she was dressed in battered but warm travelling clothes with a huge furred cloak that she occasionally leant to others.

Personality
Though rather standoffish at first, Lina slowly warmed up to the people around her and became an extremely loyal friend. Extremely honourable, she had a poor view of unnecessary lies.

Klemens Vollmacht
Lina was extremely loyal to Klemens though she regularly questioned both his secrecy and initial arrogance when dealing with new people.

Clara Edelweiss
Though at first sceptical of Clara's involvement, Lina quickly began to respect Clara's abilities as a healer. She was also one of the few people who took Clara's reveal as a changeling well.

Lothar Hermann
The two had a very good relationship with them regularly competing in arm wrestling and drinking contests. As the joint front line of the team, they found how to work well together in battle and compliment each other's strengths.

Hedwig von Henneburg
Though their relationship was initially fairly good after Lina revealed her true nature it took a turn for the worse. It had only just begun recovering at the time of Lina's death.

Unnamed Sister
Lina had a younger sister who had previously passed away. On the girl's birthday, Lina requested the morning off and got drunk in the park.
