Badass Baritone: Par the course for Colossians.
Badass Longcoat: It’s made out of chainmail and somewhat looks like something a sea captain/pirate would wear.
Badass Normal: She is not of the Blooded, fortunately for her enemies who find her tough enough as it is.
Blind Weaponmaster: Despite being blind, Usken has pinpoint accuracy.
Crippling Overspecialization: Although her shots are devastating, her blindness, size and bum leg render her more or less immobile in battle. For example, she could not get out of the way of a charging bear fast enough.
Deaf Composer: A blind ranger.
Disability Superpower: Her senses other than her (non-existent) vision have become more sensitive to compensate, notably her hearing.
Disabled Snarker: Usken is quite the good sport regarding her lack of eyesight and frequently pokes fun at herself.
Gentle Giant: She is very chill and laidback, taking whatever happens to her in stride.
Fingerless Gloves: Her gloves are fingerless so that she can have protection on her hands, but be capable of feeling things with her fingers to guide herself around, not to mention it allows easier handling of her crossbow.
Handicapped Badass: She is blind. She has a damaged leg that forces her to limp around. One of her fingers is amputated. And yet she is a better shot than any of the Kollagskaren and can inflict far worse injuries to her opponents.
Happily Married: With Nor. Well, the equivalent of marriage for Colossians, at least
Nerves of Steel: She takes being mauled by an Undead bear surprisingly calmly.
Only Known By Their Nickname: She is referred to as “Usken” so often that people forget it isn’t her full name. (It’s Uskengraav.)

Weapon Twirling: She occasionally twirls her crossbow’s harpoon when bored.

24-Hour Armor: She's aware that she can take her smithing apron off (and her work gloves, for that matter), but she rarely ever does remove it. She keeps it on just about everywhere she goes. She pretty much only takes it off before going to bed.

Icy Blue Eyes: A frost giant whose eyes are blue.
Names to Run Away From: Her axe's name, "Frykte", translates to "fear".
Neck Lift: When her axe hand is busy, she will use her other hand to push and shove her foes. Among such moves is lifting up her foes by the neck and throwing them.
Neck Snap: Another move she might pull if her axe hand is occupied, and that in fact she has done in CC. A slap of her paw can practically send her opponents’ heads looking at every direction they should not.
Pregnant Badass: Her intro literally has her completely destroy a band of undead sea vikings, including chokeslamming one of them through a spear. While heavily pregnant.

Strong and Skilled: She trains with every weapon she knows how to make, though mostly with her axe.
Super Strength: Her parents were both uncommonly strong among their species, which in itself is already known to be monstrously powerful.
Terse Talker: When she does speak, her sentences rarely exceed five words.
The Quiet One: Far more prone to answering with nods and grunts than with actual words.
Utility Weapon: Her axe can be used to climb and chop wood, or to bring objects towards her.

Action Mom: Still thrashed foes of her village after having cubs.
An Ice Person: Being a waterbender means she can also control ice.

Badass Arm Fold: Prone to this, often with a mean smirk accompanying it.

Badass: Recognized for her arsewhooping skills, especially in northern Bjornskar.

Boisterous Bruiser: She is loud and strong.
Break the Badass: The loss of her cubs and mate was a big hit to her.

Eyepatch of Power: Over her missing eye.
Fire-Forged Friends: With Korraz and (to a lesser extent) Gaiyan.

Good is not Nice: She is rough, though she is gentle towards parents and cubs.
Hair-Trigger Temper: It takes very little to get her to apply her hammer or fist to someone’s face.

I call it “Vera”: Her hammer is called “Forstein”, meaning “petrified”, as are the enemies when they see it – petrified in fear.
Icy Blue Eyes: A somewhat dark ice blue, but still ice blue, and it matches with her powers.
It was a Gift: Her hammer was made for her by her mate as a token of his love.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She is typically rough, if not downright rude at times, but she has a good heart.
Kick the Dog: Korraz never did anything to her, yet Glaxion dismissed her constantly due to her reluctance, if not outright refusal, to use violence.
Large Ham: She is rather loud.
Made of Iron: She walks around with a broken arm for a while and seems none the worse for wear. She also tends to laugh off wounds and keep going despite being injured.
Making a Splash: She is a waterbender.
Mama Bear: Those who threaten cubs in her presence end up in an even worse state than the Skallbor warriors she destroys.
Mundane Utility: She sometimes uses her hammer as a cane.
One-Handed Zweihander: Her hammer is about her height when she puts it down, but she is strong enough to swing it fluidly with a single hand.
Outliving One's Offspring: Both of her cubs are dead.
Power Fist: Her left arm is covered in ice, and her fist hits harder because of it.

Put The Laughter in Slaughter: She has a pretty good Viking laugh.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red to Korraz and Gaiyan’s Blue.
Reforged Blade: Or rather, reforged hammer. Her hammer gets broken in half, but since she happens to have a friend who is a blacksmith...
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: She got revenge on the Skallbor that killed her cubs and mate, to a point where they dare not approach her home village anymore.

Took a Level in Kindness: Although she first dislikes Korraz for her pacifism, she changes her tune when she learns exactly why Korraz is so bitter against violence and after the big girl repairs her hammer and saves her life.
Weapon Twirling: She might twirl her hammer with her fingers, both when bored and to intimidate foes by showing off.
Weapon of Choice: She is a brash warrior who uses a big hammer.
Wrecked Weapon: Her hammer gets snapped in half, which in turn snaps Glaxion’s mood in half, but Korraz (who is a blacksmith) repairs it for her.

Action Mom: The progenitor of the entire Beast race and mother of Olghjortur. It never stopped her from mauling stuff dead.
Anthropomorphic Personification: An physical embodiment of the beast world - all flesh and blood and strength.
Ascended to a Higher Plane of Existence: Once a nature spirit, now an aspect of nature.
Bloody Murder: She can bend her own blood like water.
Did you just Punch out C’Thulhu: She punched Odar The All-Maker in the face.
Fertile Blood: Her Blood has the properties of life-creation, spawning Beasts from it.

Healing Factor: She can regenerate from even a single drop of blood.
Hot-Blooded: She is very wild and passionate.
Made of Iron: She completely ignores even the most horrific wounds on herself.
Mama Bear: To say the absolute least.
Physical God: She is an Aspect of Nature.
Pregnant Badass: Ah yes, more aggressiveness is just what would make Ristaang less dangerous.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: She is extremely dangerous and possesses eyes that glow like embers.
Super Strength: She tore in half a planet infested by the Unaturlig and hurled it throughout the cosmos.
Superhuman Transfusion: Drinking her Blood gives one a beasty body and monstrous strength and durability.
The Ageless: As an Aspect of nature, she has no real age and is effectively immortal.
The Berserker: Very much so.
Title Drop: Her blood is the eponymous Beast Blood.
Unstoppable Rage: It’s either her foes die or she does. No in-betweens.

24-Hour Armor: She absolutely never takes her mask off and her coat only leaves her person momentarily when she cleans it or takes it off to use it as a blanket, to say nothing of her gloves and feet’s armor that also never come off.
Action Mom: She has two cubs - her son Kovrald and her daughter Skovska.
Adorkable: She is rather slow-moving and cumbersome due to her size, and has no clue whatsoever how to approach her dear friend the blacksmith of Kollagskar.
Afraid of Her Own Strength: She is hesitant to pick up smaller creatures in her arms from fear of hurting them with her might. She knows what her power is capable of and dreads having to apply it to a living thing.
Badass Arm Fold: If her hands aren’t in her pockets or holding a cup of tea, her arms will be folded.
Badass Beard: All Borskall have natural facial hair, but Korraz takes it a step further by having a metal beard thanks to her mask.
Badass Longcoat: She wears what appears to be a near-black chainmail duster coat that conducts electricity, reflects projectiles, deflects weapons, is waterproof, unharmed by heat and is super comfy. It also has Tron Lines.
Badass Pacifist: She’s won many battles without at all raising a finger against her opponents. She just lets them try to hurt her until they fall from exhaustion. Less so in RPG settings, where she does have to fight.
Badass: She could utterly stomp anyone and anything that isn’t a Beast if she wanted to, so good thing she doesn’t want to.
Berserk Button: Insulting her late little sister will make her completely and utterly furious.
Beware the Nice Ones: Essentially a personification of this. Although she is a big ol’ teddybear, her size and strength makes her inherently intimidating, which turns out to be even more justified when her buttons are pressed. Most Beasts’ rages are actually rather awesome to watch. Korraz’s are not. For her friends especially, they’re horrifying. They lead to everything around her being hurt, be it friend or foe. Especially distressing for her friends the first time they saw her fly into a blind rage, as they had no idea she could even be like this and had no idea how to calm her down.
Big Eater: Well, she did not get this big by coincidence.
Big Fun: A stocky, friendly giant - big muscles, big belly and a big heart.
Blow You Away: She's learned a bit of wind magic from the shaman of her home, who taught her how to amplify her voice with airbending to knock her foes off their feet. Having since lost her voice, she can no longer perform this move, but can still “bark”, blasting air out of her maw like a wall of force, though it’s nothing nearly as powerful as her ability formerly was.
Bruiser with a Soft Center: Looks tough, acts cute.
Conspicuous Gloves: She never takes her gloves off. They not only protect her hands, but also hide the fact that her hands are burned and scarred.
Cool Big Sis: Commonly seen as such a figure. Her actual sister also thought she was cool.
Cool Mask: She wears a spiked metal mask that she never takes off.
Cute Giant: She is big, even by Borskall standards, and quite affable.
Dark and Troubled Past: Almost everything bad that could happen to her did happen. Poor girl’s lost everything.
Death Glare: Since she has no voice to warn opponents with, she’ll threaten them with hard, stern glares and loud Bison Snorts.
Determinator: No matter what happens to her, she’ll tough through it.
Does not Know her own Strength: More like forgets her own strength, especially when she’s happy or excited. She’ll crush her friends with bear hugs.
Dramatic Unmask: She does take off her mask at some point to show her actual face, which is disfigured and horribly scarred.
Elemental Eye Color: Her eyes are yellow and she happens to be able to control electricity. The electricity she uses is blue, though.
Empowered Badass Normal: She already was a tough cookie before joining the Blooded and gaining electric and magnetic powers.
Expressive Mask: The metal plates of her mask moves when she does, allowing her facial expressions to show.
Eye Scream: Her left eye is blind due to being seared by the heat of a molten weapon slicing across her brow. The pupil is completely white and misty.
Facial Horror: Beneath her mask.
Genius Bruiser: She is quite smart, unlike the Beast she serves.
Gentle Giant: She is huge and immensely muscular, but dislikes violence and is very friendly.
Glowing Eyes: Her eyes glow in the dark.
Hand Signals: Her main method of communication, along with mouthing words, nodding, shaking her head, etc.
Handicapped Badass: She is mute and blind in one eye, but she is in no way weak because of it.
Happily Married: To Sirmaq the Blacksmith.
Heavy Sleeper: She can be very hard to wake from slumber, especially if it’s sleep induced from accidentally drinking mead. The latter will usually cause her to doze off then and there and block whatever area she currently is in.
Heroic BSOD: Banging a weapon against a shield in her presence will cause her to immediately fall on the floor in a seizure, totally disabling her for a few moments.
It’s All My Fault: She blames herself for the death of her sister and the downfall of her home village.
Iron Woobie: Poor, poor Koko.
Last of her Kind: She is the only surviving Borskall of Fredelig. Though he was not actually born in Fredelig, her son Kovrald is technically Fredeligen by blood.
Made of Iron: There simply is nothing that pauses her for more than a few moments, including being impaled through the chest with giant weapons, losing an arm, or being skewered by hundreds of arrows.
Mama Bear: Laidback as she is, she’ll quickly shove her pacifism aside if it means protecting a cub from harm.
Mighty Glacier: She has extreme strength and toughness, but is also extremely slow.
Mundane Utility: She uses her magnetic abilities to bring random objects towards her far more often than she uses it to fight. Notably, she has been seen attaching her blacksmithing tools to her coat via magnets.
Mysterious Past: The only things her friends know about her is that she is mute and likes tea, and that her favorite color is blue - whatever happened to her in the past, it led to her being quite roughed up, with gruesome scars to show for it.
Nerves of Steel: She is extremely calm and rarely fazed by just about anything.
Nice Girl: She is a genuinely good-natured and chill Borskall.
One Man Army: She can defeat whole armies of enemies by herself, and has successfully done just that over her 300+ years of age.
Outliving One’s Offspring: Her first cub died at birth. He only came back because the Olgfolk took pity on Korraz’s seemingly never-ending string of bad luck and rezzed him, which she was not aware of until a while later.
Power Fist: Given that she is monstrously strong and wears metal gloves, punches from her hurt.
Pregnant Badass: It's tradition that Beasts become a thousand times more terrifying when they're having cubs. Korraz, for herself, solo'd a Hvalhaj because she was worried it would threaten the village's cubs, including her own. It must run in the family, because her daughter, when grown-up and having a cub of her own, did such things as power-bombing enemies through spears while heavily pregnant.
Real Men Wear Pink: She is a huge wall of muscle that loves to eat cookies and cuddle stuffed toys. Outside of combat, she'll usually be seen sipping tea or rolling around on her back in the snow or grass.
Red Baron: “Korraz the Mountain”.
Reluctant Warrior: Korraz never fights because she wants to, only because she has to.
Rugged Scar: Lots of them, including the gruesome scars on her throat and face, a notched ear and a blind eye with a grisly scar across it.
Shell-Shocked Veteran: She is 350-ish years old and has spent nearly all those years fighting to protect her home. She is very bitter at the idea of war and violence.
Shock and Awe: Can control electricity and magnetism/electromagnetism.
Silent Snarker: Occasionally, in retort to Glaxion’s antics.
Stout Strength: She is a mountain of fat and muscle, with the former helping the latter by giving her energy to perform heavy lifting and other feats of strength for long periods of time.
Super Strength: By far the most powerful of the Blooded physically. Her fellow Borskall and bigger opponents are nothing but stuffed toys for her to lift and toss around with zero effort whatsoever.
Super Toughness: She can literally just stand there and let enemies tire themselves trying to take her down.
The Big Gal: The largest and tallest of the Blooded, and also physically the most powerful.
The Blacksmith: She used to work as a blacksmith back in the day. She picks it back up in Kollagskar.
The Voiceless: Once had a deep, powerful voice, but has been rendered completely mute.
Tummy Cushion: Very often uses her belly as a shelf and enjoys having smaller animals, cubs or friends sleep against (or directly onto) it.
Trademark Favorite Food: Tea, as well as any sweets she might come across.
Tron Lines: Her coat has patterns similar to these.
Unstoppable Rage: Seriously. The only things known to calm her from her berserking is to wait for it to end on its own, her death, or the sound of a cub in distress.
Up to Eleven: She is a giant among giants, whose physical strength and durability far dwarfs even theirs.
War is Hell: Unlike Glaxion, Korraz sees war as this. She believes there is no such thing as “glory” in war.
Weaksauce Weakness: Although she does have “greater” weaknesses such as poison and death magic, her biggest weakness is the fact that hearing a weapon banging against a shield will completely disable her for a bit. Several Borskall villages had to tell their warriors to not do it to stop Korraz from seizing up helplessly on the floor whenever she visits such villages. Justified due to it relating to a traumatic event in her past, however. On a more comical note, she can stare down eldritch abominations in the face without blinking, but is quite shy around a certain Kollagskaren blacksmith.
Zen Survivor: She's a quite a bit wiser than Glaxion gives her credit for.

All-Loving Hero: Is rarely even mean to her enemies. She’ll even keep smirking at them.
Badass Baritone: She speaks with a rather deep voice.
Beware the Nice Ones: She very rarely becomes frustrated at something and even more rarely becomes actually angry, but everyone knows they messed up when she does get annoyed.
Color-Coded for your Convenience: A healer with a green thumb who has green “fur”.
Combat Medic: She may be chiefly a healer, but she has fangs as well.
Deadly Doctor: The same knowledge she uses to heal can easily be used to hurt as well.
Elemental Eye Color: While the sclera of her eyes are red, her actual irises are brown - for a being with earth-related powers.
Feels No Pain: Being severely burned in the past rendered her practically nerve-dead in that regard.
For Happiness: She wants nothing more than everyone around her to be healthy and happy.
Forced Sleep: She can put others to sleep with a mere touch of her hand, useful to calm violent creatures and to put patients under anesthesia.
Friend to All Living Things: Even predatory animals never attack her and will actually come to her aid when called.
Gentle Giant: She is one of the absolute nicest characters around.
Good is Not Soft: Can still pack a punch if cornered, though she far prefers healing over hurting.
Green Thumb: She possesses plant-based powers.
Healing Factor: She can regenerate from just about any wound.
Healing Hands: She can heal with her hands, but it leaves her so weak that she only uses it for urgent occasions.
Healing Herb: Commonly uses those as part of her traditional medicine.
Kindly Vet: Not only takes care of wounded Bjornskaren, but of animals as well.
Magical Flutist: Her flute can summon animals to her side.
Nerves of Steel: Can keep her cool in the worst situations, allowing her to work efficiently and quickly.
Nice Girl: She is a caring, patient, warm and welcoming Borskall.
Perpetual Smiler: Smiles/grins/smirks seemingly all the time, even to her enemies.
Power Fist: She wears armored gloves.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: Averted. She’s very friendly.
Shipper on Deck: She immediately picked up on Korraz and Sirmaq’s affection for each other and was the main one to nudge them together. To Gaiyan’s satisfaction, they are now happy mates and have two cubs.
Team Mom: Naturally acts motherly towards anyone younger than she is, but also with Glaxion and Korraz, who are both older than she is. She is also seen as the leader of their group.
The Beastmaster: “Hor meg!”
The Empath: She can feel the emotions of those around her, which can actually get overwhelming when she is surrounded with mourning or otherwise pained people.
The Face: The most outgoing and talkative member of the Blooded.
The Matchmaker: Could tell Korraz and Sirmaq liked each other from miles away. She also was the main one who nudged them together.
The Medic: The healer of the Blooded, though she will stop along the way to take care of wounded that are not part of the group.
The Pollyanna: She may show sadness, but never for long.
