Character from A Practical Guide to Evil by ErraticErrata
The Ranger — a half-elf who hunts worthy opponents for sport, arguably the single deadliest individual combatant on Calernia, who left the man she loved because he chose his vision over her.
Hye Su is the Ranger. She hunts those worth hunting. That's not a philosophy — it's a compulsion enforced by a Name that has existed for centuries. Her Aspects — Learn, Perfect, Transcend — mean she can pick up any technique she sees, execute it flawlessly, then surpass the original master. She has infiltrated the Dead King's fortress of Keter four times. For fun. Warlock and Black Knight once did an exercise: 'How would you fight Ranger?' The answer they agreed on was 'don't.' She's killed elves a thousand years old. She's faced gods. She created Refuge as a training ground for five apprentices, of whom Indrani was the strongest. She left Amadeus when he chose his political vision over their relationship. She does not care about Good or Evil, Praes or Callow, the Game of Gods or the fate of Calernia. She cares about the fight. Everything else is noise.
Tall, honey-coloured skin, pointed ears from her elven heritage, dark brown eyes, long hair, sharply angled face with high cheekbones. Burns across her face from fighting the Summer Queen. Wears a distinctive hooded cloak. She moves like a predator that hasn't decided if you're prey yet.
