Haldegard

Name: Haldegard

Species: Aphriq

Age: Young enough to cause trouble, old enough to know better (about equivalent of mid-30s)

Abilities: Nothing supernatural. She can hold her own in a brawl and keep her crew out of the law's arms, though.

Genre: Science fiction

Story Form: Novel

Profile Pic: [I can't get it to upload one, but I do have art of her. In essence, a tall being with a bipedal body plan, heavyset, and covered in dark grey fur. This fur gets thicker and longer around her neck to form a ruff, and is cut scruffily around her face. She has six dark eyes and four mandibles.]

Brief Bio: Haldegard wasn't meant to grow up into a cargo ship captain, but that's what she did anyways. Her family, after all, did expect her to grow into her twin's opposite, and how does one become more opposite of charming, refined-but-casual, social-media-perfect Inrai than a rowdy, hard-talking spacefarer with an all-alien crew? Whatever they thought opposite meant wasn't far-reaching enough for Haldegard. But, in her opinion, it worked out anyways. She loves her crew, she loves her ship, she loves seeing the galaxy.

If only there weren't an ongoing war against a species hell-bent on genocide for anyone who isn't them.
