Physical Description
Joanna is about average height, with a broad-shouldered and hard-muscled build. She has blonde hair, usually tied back in a ponytail, and deep-set blue eyes. She smiles more often than not, although they tend to be lopsided smiles. A white scar splits her left eyebrow in two and runs up to disappear under her hairline.
She wears no ostentatious jewelry, favors simple clothes in leather or fabric, dark colours, and wraps her hands in linen strips, as if she's expecting a fistfight to break out at any moment. Wherever it's allowed, she carries a curved sword on her hip.
Personality
As you'd expect from her claimed occupation, Joanna is a risk-taker and wanderer who seems to like physical things, especially battle and exercise. Although not an exceptionally bright or wise person, she's well-centered and quick on the uptake, if a little predisposed towards throwing herself into potentially dangerous situations. She does not seem to overly mind the occasional resulting injuries.
For somebody who can crack a walnut in a bare hand, Joanna is perhaps suprisingly friendly and skilled with people. She's down to earth and friendly by default, and has enough backbone to not be a pushover, in turn tempered by enough diplomatic skill to squelch conflicts and smooth out ruffled feelings before they even take root. Her inexperience means she makes the occasional naive mistake, but she hasn't let it drag her down into cynicism.
History
Joanna has shared little of her history beyond a few basic points. Apparently she was born in the Outlands, in a village in Tir na Og, and has recently completed an long apprenticeship to a wandering swordsman named Munisai.
She must take debts of honor very seriously, because she claims that after this she has ventured out to Sigil to serve as an aide to Alea Arthyr, as repayment of some form of life debt for the elven priestess having saved her and her family's lives several years back.
