Introducing my 5E party of Heroes of the Arrow in the Knee, #3:
Shifting to a never-once-in-life considered Champion of Faith™ career is just one of the many disorienting things that Kali, novice cleric of the god of sky and storms Teylas, had to come up with lately.

Appearently she belongs to a tribe of nomad herders, hunters and raiders of the remote Taan steppe, and it's not yet clear how she ended up in the far west: given how she struggles with acclimation, though, it looks like her arrival has been quite recent, just like the strange leg injury which sometimes impairs her walking ability. She also appears to have some serious punch-drunk-fighter memory issues, so that she has to repeat introductions twice (not that she falls into the trope of the Amnesiac PC, anyway, as for each event in her life she has at least three equally likely memories: she jokes about that saying she has filled the stocking room of her brain so that she has to squeeze new things in).
Despite her being an half-elf, one of the most important figures of her upbringing was her dwarven master-at-arms, who was deeply committed to give her what he thought a 'good education' is: as a consequence, she has a peculiar way of mixing a weird spirit of sacrifice and an even weirder sense of etiquette with a set of manners that sometimes would fit for a pirate crew. She quickly befriended Ulfur, as he's the most familiar-looking guy around (besides from sharing many beliefs and the questionable sense of humour), but seems to look with suspect at both Ged and Ziedler. Some might even say that, also for her little confidence in her new powers, she seems to fear them.
As she’s coming from a poorer environment, her armor look quite battered, but according to how she wears it she probably believes it’s the Legendary Cuirass of Badassery. She fights with a peculiar horsehead-shaped battle hammer.

Fun fact: since I began writing the character sheet I wanted her to have some tatar-mongolian aestethic. I like hunnu rock.
So, as Ged, she has her personal theme.

The others:
