Mette Wendler

Mette Wendler is an elf ranger played by Cassandra

Early Life
Mette was born in Eldertown, Oldenstadt. At age 19 she joined the Imperial Army.

Army
Mette served well for a number of years, quickly shaping into a skilled and disciplined soldier. She rose to the rank of sergeant and was up for consideration to be an ashcloak.

In 1139PL she was assigned internally to a fort in Ostburg where she started a relationship with a human officer. The relationship was discovered and the two faced a disciplinary hearing. He was demoted and Mette dishonorably discharged. After her hearing she was attacked by another group of soldiers.

Oldenstadt
In Oldenstadt she worked as a courier for the Granitehelm clan, during which her friend Sybille was murdered.

Appearance
Mette is rather short, at only 5 foot 2, and has a skinny physique. Her hair is black, bushy and unkempt, secured at the base of her neck by one shoulder - this leaves one ear exposed and one hidden. Her skin is slightly tanned and her eyes are a deep, dark brown. She wears old army leathers with the ranks removed and scruffy clothes underneath. Her fingers are decorated with tattoos of weaving vines. She has a small, faint scar on one cheek.

Personality
Mette is aggressive and confrontational, prone to lashing out at people and hard to get along with. While not good at keeping her expressions off her face she makes effort to keep her nasty comments to herself. She is distrustful of both humans and authority figures and when fighting these she is prone to blood lust.

Klemens Vollmacht
While Mette believes that Klemens' heart is in the right place, she views him as irritating and naive and he frequently rubs her the wrong way. She puts in a lot of effort to tiptoe around him emotionally, mostly out of fear of his response if she were to go too far, and the knowledge that he can hold her past above her head.

Lothar Hermann
While at first Mette was hopeful that Lothar was another elf she could relate to, she was disappointed to realise that not only was he a half elf but also a knight. Ever since then Lothar has lost her favour, as she views him as another rich human with just pointier ears.

Juliane Retter
Mette hates Juli, viewing her as a person who completely represents the worst of the church and the inquisition - both of which she already hates. Now that Mette knows that Juli knows about her past, she hates her even more, and is really hoping for the opportunity to kill her.

Eiko Horst
Mette considers Eiko to be the closest she has to a friend (outside of Elsa), as they are both outsiders to the inquisition and the most normal people in their group. She appreciates his companionable silence and their silent mutual agreement to not ask prying questions.

Klaus Katzmann
She thinks he has poor taste and is rather flamboyant but has no particular issues with him.

Clara Edelweiss
Mette isn't sure so far what to make of her, but she thinks of her as more tolerable than some people she's worked with before.
