GENERAL BACKGROUND: Sehrra was born to Heltrin of Nahsan Hold and Beltrina of Dragon’s Rock Hold. Neither parent was an heir and so she enjoyed an unusually free childhood. Her parents, loyal to their Holds, served as troubleshooters for their parents, and then siblings. They'd spend half the turn at Nahsan and half the turn at Dragon’s Rock, serving the Lord Holders as was best needed. When her parents died en route to Nahsan in a renegade attack, Sehrra was fourteen turns old. She had ignored her parent's orders to hide and joined the fighting. Her first opponent, as one would expect, was her last. She can't remember what happened, exactly. All she knows is that one second she was facing a man, and the next she was waking up in the middle of the carnage as night was falling. Her parents were dead, as was everyone else. Nahsan was a day's ride away, and Sehrra walked it.
After she recovered, she continued her parents' habit of splitting their time between the two Holds and serving each where they were needed. It was her Uncle Veshin, now Lord of Dragon’s Rock, who first noted her interest and aptitude in the skills necessary for a Lord or Lady Holder. He and his niece shared much in common and he undertook training her as though she were his heir. Sehrra excelled at the lessons and never seemed to really mind that it was assumed she would never attain the rank that her training prepared her for. Unfortunately, mischance and ill luck plagued her family at Nahsan and when her grandfather died, only Sehrra was of close Blood to him. She was Confirmed as Lady Holder in turn 23.
PERSONALITY TRAITS: Sehrra is a politician. Her loyalty is to Nahsan Hold. To her, the good of her Hold has an over-riding priority, and she will do anything to safeguard her people. She can be kind and warm and caring, or as cold and cruel as an arctic winter -- and just as merciless. She cares deeply about people, and will do everything in her power to provide for and protect those she calls her own. This is a good thing, since it helps temper and control another facet of her that is less worthy. She's a predator, and if you hurt one of her people, she will track you down and kill you without blinking.
On a daily basis, Sehrra is a pleasant, polite young woman who manages to be friendly and open with her subordinates. However, she is the Lady Holder and that is a lonely thing. She maintains a distance from her people that is necessary to be able to keep the balance between Lady Holder and holder. Being overly familiar with her holders will only hurt her ability to command and guide them. She is fair and just, but she is Lady Holder and her word is law.
Sehrra has a deep, abiding hatred of renegades. She considers all who live holdless part of that group. She doesn't like them, doesn't trust them, and actively looks for reasons to get rid of them. There is no reasoning with her on this subject and only the bitter knowledge that caravanners are too important too ban from Nahsan keeps her from doing just that.
Sehrra has an affinity for runners. She's a skilled trainer in her own right, and a breeder. She can be found in the stables in her free time (what little there is of it) and takes a close, personal interest in all that happens in her stables.
Sehrra is also a very physically active person. After the attack by the renegades, she learned both unarmed combat and a rather dirty form of knife fighting. She can't compete with a man in strength, size, and reach (although she is much stronger than she looks), so she uses her dexterity, speed, and agility to off set that.
