My name? Lennjar Ingstat.
What you can see behind me is my ship Aegir… dedicated to my late son Aegir Lennjasson. He fell in the fight against these nasty centaurs. The only thing that still reminds me of him are my memories and his self-forged battle axe. After hearing about the death of my son, I decided to leave my old world behind me to find a new one.
So I gathered my faithful crew and stuck on the vast, seemingly endless sea.
Our target? Cantha!
We knew that Zhaitan and his followers of undead were supposed to block the way for hundreds of years, but we ignored such rumors and for this shall be our fate.
The undead suddenly surprised us on the stormy sea. We tried to throw this horrible pack overboard, but we lost control of our ship and crashed into huge rocks. Once again, I lost my son, in the sense of the ship Aegir, as well as my crew. All that remained were boards and crates floating on the sea, the ship destroyed… and also my broken will.
Caught on an island full of undead, I already gave up my life. What should I do? Everything I loved was lost. Only broken fragments and smashed pieces were left.
On one of those sorrowful nights, as always, I was sitting alone on the beach, looking at the sea. But something unremarkable managed to shine through the black depths of the water. Carefully I went took a closer look, who knows what danger would wait for me there. But what I discovered was anything but dangerous for me. The self-forged battle axe.
When I grabbed it, a strange, strong feeling pierced through my heart. It hurt, at the same time it was facilitating. It seemed as if my son was talking to me ... as if he was whispering to me through the mild winds that I should not give up. I am a strong Norn but prior to that, a strong mother. My tears streamed down my cheeks, the last time I had the feeling holding Aegir in my arms once more.
I realized at that time that I was not allowed to give up! Exchanged, I was going to the fragments of my shattered ship and searched for usable materials. It was possible for me to build a small shelter on the beach and I began to live again, with lots of ideas and plans.
My goal was to build a new ship to escape from this forsaken place.
And who knows ... Maybe I'll try going to Cantha again one day.
But what I know is that one day I will see my dear Aegir again.

You know what?? I can't absolutely wait for the day Cantha comes ingame as an expansion, and you remake Lennja there and the follow up of her legend!
Onto the criticism...there's not much to say, because this is one of the most excellent first uploads I've seen, top to bottom! :3 U had me sold just on the screenshots but then i read the description! Her appearance is as norn'ish as it is pirate and that mash up is just delicious! I just wish you would have posted the login screenshots, there's no rule on weather they should be in here, but they help to visualize the armor better...other than that have a gold, and a follower, can't wait to see more from you!

I really like your overall character, she looks very special on both face and hair and very believable overall
The armour mix indeed looks more like medium armour and I always love seeing this kind of little tricks!
The only thing that could be slightly improved on are the dyes imo; while I like the overall feel, the brown is overall a bit too dominant for me and some other hue would be nice for a little bit of breakup
But still a really convincing character with an extraordinary presentation and a gold from me!
