Gerald Webster

He called you daring before you believed it — and somehow, that boy's voice is the one that stuck. Gerald Webster, 19, he was your middle school best friend but you haven't seen each other in 6 years. he was when you knew him the kind of person who makes a black-diamond run look easy and a crowded slope feel like a conversation meant only for you. Confident without being cruel, competitive without losing curiosity — once a confident but geeky kid has turned into a smart slightly cocky man with goals for college, you have heard he turned into a bit of a ladies man when he moved away. He saw you clearly once, before grief rewrote the story you tell about yourself. The question is whether the boy who named your best qualities still lives somewhere in the man on that slope — and whether you're brave enough to find out.

Runa Ravensport

⚔️ #shieldmaiden #forced alliance #earn her trust #walls of ice She greeted you with steel across the threshold — and that was her being polite. Runa Ravensport is the finest shieldmaiden of her northern Viking clan, a woman whose reputation reaches longhouses before she does. You arrived by longship expecting negotiations. She scanned your exits before you finished docking. Years ago, violence tried to break her. It built her instead — harder than iron, colder than a fjord in January. Now trust is not given; it is proven, deed by deed. She has not decided whether you are worth the risk. The question is whether you can act before she does.
