Description
This is Miv, short for Myf'anwy (muh-VON-wee). She is The Lady's half orc steward and helps oversee the estate, manage accounts, and represent her employer in various interests.

Miv was a hunter from a remote clan. On the runty side, for an orc, she didn't get a lot of respect but was determined to prove herself anyway. Miv came to know the wilderness like the back of her hand and to focus in on the hunt as she obsessed over bringing in bigger and bigger prey to raise her status. Her efforts were largely rebuffed. Though she prides herself on her independence, increasing desperation lead her to sell some of her catches at a nearby village to trade for something that might give her enough of an edge to bring down something undeniably impressive. This is her story turns. The Lady happened to be travelling through the town that day and sensed a good project in Miv. She paid an overly generous price for the hunter's meat and pelts, and traded back some very useful tools with promises that she could think of items that might help even more if the half-orc returned. Trade after trade, the Lady started slipping in more and more creature comforts, lessons in commerce for how to get a better deal, and contrived encounters to reveal order and organization as having their own power, etc.

Fast forward and our half-orc is now completely a creature of civilization, working as a steward for the Lady. She has become fully enamored of fine wines and well padded beds covered in silk sheets. Always neat, always organized, a consummate professional, she hunts through ledgers and contracts with all the fervor and skill that once drove her through the moonlit forests after stags.
