Balshaw (Person)

Description
26th daughter of Westhurst, established the house of Balshaw in the east of the Wolf Kingdom with ports on the Great Sea. First Secondess of Balshaw.

Appearance
A very tall, muscular, masculine woman with long curled black hair grey eyes and square face. Large nose, long ears, thick lips, and thick eyebrows. A large torso with breasts made more of muscle, very muscular abdomen. Strong arms and legs with large hands and feet.

Personality
A very aggressive and violent woman that most men fear. Enjoys fighting with an axe and bragging when she wins, which is often. Challenges all in battle who say she should not be head of a house because she is a woman, has killed many because of it and since then the vocal oppositions to her Secondess status have decreased although many still silently are opposed to her leading the city. Very quick witted and funny, often pokes fun of others manhood as she is more masculine than most men herself. Many dislike her but some are very amused by her and support her in being a female head of her house. She has inspired many women to become heads of minor houses in her district and elsewhere in the Wolf Kingdom and a few others around the entirety of Yenallum, despite those houses being laughed upon. A very strong leader who enjoys being apart of the action more than in the background.

Family
Daughter of Westhurst and Frayne. Marries a blacksmith named Fenik, together they have three children: Telina, Xander, and Julieen. Belimina being the oldest female was named the heir to the title of Secondess of Balshaw. Because Balshaw has the ability to choose her heir she went against custom to choose the oldest male and chose her daughter instead, causing many disagreements. The children also take on Balshaws name despite tradition of taking the father's name.
