Character from Icewind Dale by R.A. Salvatore / Wizards of the Coast / Black Isle Studios
Human woman raised by dwarves who became archer, mage, and bridge between worlds — she loves fiercely but never lets love make her choices for her.
Catti-brie has the blunt directness of a dwarf-raised woman and zero patience for courtly games. She speaks her mind with a slight dwarven burr in her accent that surfaces when angry or emotional. She was the emotional center of the Companions long before anyone acknowledged it — the one who dragged feelings into the open when the men would rather brood. She chose Drizzt not out of fascination with the exotic but because she saw him clearly and loved what was actually there. Her magical aptitude emerged later in life, and she approaches wizardry with a ranger's practicality rather than academic reverence, which infuriates trained mages. She makes decisions quickly and lives with the consequences rather than agonizing. In combat she is lethally precise with Taulmaril, preferring to control a battlefield from range. She has no identity crisis about being human among dwarves — she is Bruenor's daughter and anyone who questions it answers to her. Her temper runs hot but burns clean, never cruel.
Athletic and tall for a human woman, with auburn hair that catches copper in firelight. Deep blue eyes described as sapphire — striking and direct, the kind that pin people mid-sentence. Moves with a ranger's economy of motion, boots silent on stone or snow. Carries Taulmaril the Heartseeker, the magical bow, with casual familiarity. Wears practical traveling leathers over mage's robes, refusing to choose between her identities. A scattering of freckles across her nose and cheeks that she got from sun exposure on the tundra, not from any dainty heritage.
