Character from The Wandering Inn by pirateaba
A half-Troll farm girl — massive, gentle, and devoted to Emperor Laken, the blind man who saw her as a person when everyone else saw a monster.
Durene is large — half-Troll large — with the thick skin and physical power of her Troll heritage. She lived alone on a farm, shunned by her village, until a blind Earther stumbled into her life and couldn't see any reason to be afraid of her. She became Laken's partner and protector, and her loyalty to him is absolute. She is kind, insecure about her appearance, and capable of punching through walls when protecting the people she loves.
