II. PERSONA
A friendly disposition and a strong sense of gemeinschaft made Yunyuq a darling within her community. She is the type of person that prefers to be around other people most of the time, and who finds comfort to be among those whom she considers to be family or friends, though in goblin society their respective definitions differ somewhat from those that humans employ.
Another adjective that people would often use to describe her is "crafty": this is a source of endless frustration for her, as the word carries two different connotations and with them a level of plausible deniability for some people – almost always the humans – to employ whenever they want to say out loud what they really think of the likes of her. Instead, she would rather that those who speak in good faith use much more unequivocal words such as "dexterous" or "adroit", for that is what her "craftiness" is really all about: if it requires the use of one's hands and some tools, chances are that Yunyuq is either reasonably skilled at it or able to acquire said skill quite quickly if she puts her mind into it. In fact, her father would describe her with a proud smile as a born tinkerer.
On account of the many historical problems in goblin-human relations, Yunyuq tends to wear concealing clothes whenever she walks in broad daylight, with her face carefully hidden from judgemental eyes. Although she finds Zephon to be generally more hospitable than the world where she comes from, she has yet to discard this habit fully, though she did cut some holes for her ears in some of her cloaks. The bandages, however, will always stay.
III. BACKGROUND
Yunyuq is naturally nimble and she knows it. She is also just as well aware of the fact that her small frame does not belie much of anything in terms of raw physical might and she is not going to win any serious arm-wrestling contest anytime soon. As a result, she prefers a hit-and-run fighting style based on quick and precise strikes followed and occasionally preceded by highly acrobatic, yet carefully calculated evasive maneuvers. She is, in other words, a Ninja first and foremost.
While on her journey, she also got the chance to learn even more about the natural world and its mysteries, which allowed her to considerably improve her skills as a Chemist to bring relief to her comrades – sans Mikkel, but she would like to figure something out for even him one day – and the people they ended up supporting even outside of battle.
Finally, although she despises admitting to it, life as a goblin tends to make the acquisition of certain skills normally possessed by Thieves a necessity. That is not to say she is especially adept at stealing from others: on the contrary, even putting aside the ethical factor for a moment, she does not see herself as particularly talented at it. However, she did learn to watch her back as well as other people's, as well as finding ways to escape from danger whenever she needs to.
IV. HISTORY
Goblin settlements do not quite resemble human villages and cities. For one, they rarely have a name, with goblins usually referring to them through circumlocutions and periphrases – most frequently by using the closest major landmark instead, or by mentioning somebody who famously lives there, or again through some activity that is closely associated to that place, whatever its nature.
Another major difference is that most goblin settlements are not found above the ground. Of course, any traveller has a chance to run into a goblin encampment from time to time, but those are not the real heart of goblinhood. In fact, much like dwarves, they live underground, in caves both natural and goblin-made, all interconnected by extraordinarily intricate systems of tunnels and galleries.
Yunuukseyuq of Tunnels Newly Dug was born in one such underground settlement the access to which can be found on the side of one of the hills east of the city of Walse, from a family whose role in the community was to open up new galleries and ensure that they were safe for everybody to use – hence her moniker.
As she grew up, she quickly became a skilled and versatile enough chemist to garner the attention of the elders at first and, eventually, even the wider goblin community. Soon, it was thought, she might become good enough to become a new Doyenne of the Arts, and talks of having her study under the tutelage of one of the current ones sprouted...
...and withered only a few weeks later, when news of the disappearance into thin air of a goblin settlement in the north reached their ears. It could not possibly be a human attack: the entire mountain seemed to have disappeared into thin air, leaving behind nothing but a vast chasm. One witness said that the only thing he saw was a huge dragon.
Rescuers were dispatched to look for survivors as elders from many communities gather to discuss the situation. Two days later, it was instead a human city that was swallowed into the Void. On the third day, her community's seer announced that the World was in danger, and that one of their own would be among the very "Choosers of the World" who would save it from ruin. Then he raised his hand, and pointed at Yunyuq.
