History: Her father has one of the holy knights of Valis, and died in the War of Heroes when she was 5 years old. This could be one reason for her strange facination with the ways of war. Her mother’s family is quite distinguished and well-known in many areas of Lodoss. “Rhan” is her mother’s family name. The Rhan family is known for its long line of prists and priestesses. Their extended family is spread throught the countries of Lodoss and through ties with royaly and family ties with each other, they try to influence peace between the countries. When the holy nation of Valis was established, her grandfather was one of the priests who established the shrine to Myrii there in Roid. Luda herself found that she was most attuned to the powers of Myrii, the war god, and though most women of her family serve Marfa, she chose to become a priestess of Myrii like her grandfather. She was the only female in her area in the training of Myrii, but proved herself to be able of the task by keeping up with and sometimes defeating the priests in training. Finally, she became a priestess and set out to serve rightous warriors. She is pleased to accompany small groups of crusaders and adventures setting out from Valis. Luda is facinated with war and the neverending wars of Lodoss. She offeres her services at very low requests, usually just meals and a place to sleep for the duration of the quest. She hopes to become a priestess in the castle of one of the kingdoms of Lodoss someday and be set out on missions of great importance by kings and queens. This is because she is not content doing small works, not because she has a desire to be famous or powerful. Her skills make her a desirable companion for a quest and she often teams up with mercenaries and knights. And so, at the age of 21, Luda has seen a few battles and though she is inexperienced as all young people are, she is not completely green when it comes to fighting. She was away on one of her missions when Roid was overun and has been wandering about ever since, looking for what became of her family. She heard that there were refugees from Roid and headed out to see if she could find them. She found them, having lost their home, but safe and sound. She then decided to join Zira’s group to better serve Myrii. Luda has met her cousin Luria once, but remembers her only because it was the first time she had ever seen a elf and a half-elf. It is amazing she remembers that much, because at the time she was only 5 years old and her father had just died. Luria’s family had come to offer their condolence to Luda’s widowed mother. Luda has also met Ardyn before, on a mercenary mission. He did not give her his name, but she remembers his face. She does not know what drives him to stay by her side, but she is appreciative of his company. Personality: Luda is always serious and cool-headed. Though at heart she is a kind person, she rarely shows her emotions and can seem cold at times. Her face is always in a calm, calculating, almost forlorn expression, hardly ever frowning or smiling. Few people can make her laugh or get angry or break out of character. People who are very perceptive can feel a deep sadness and loneliness in her. When something tragic happens or someone is hurt or in danger, she is the one who remains calm and indiferent for the good of the fight. When others are celebrating, she is the one who continues to look out for danger. She is mysterious and has an eloquent way of speaking. She would rather sit quietly and sip a cup of tea than dance and drink wine. Luda is also a writer of poems and songs, though she hardly ever reveals them to others. Her favorite writing subects are her comerades and their experiences. She has a quiet obsession with war and seeks out war-torn places and heroes. Sometimes her interest in violence or her placid summaries of terrible experiences can make people think she is cruel or unfeeling. Despite her oddities, she’s very kind and humble-- a good person to be around. She cares deeply for many people around her, though she would never show it.
