Friederike Kim Bähr – "Stop fighting and get out of my way!"

Backstory

She grew up in a small village in a farmer family in the Wische königreich.
She was very close with her brother, who was just slightly younger than him. Together, they'd conquer the world. Or let's say, their farmland?
Every now and then, her mother, despite her father (who soon died in the war) being against it, would offer travelers their barn to sleep, since everyone in Eisen knows how rough the cold nights can be.
So there once was a very interesting, mysteriously wise stranger, and he the kids have learned many lessons from him and the basics of defending oneself.
In a terrible raid during that particular strangers visit, the brother, encouraged to stand up for his family, faced the raiders, and the Hero had no other option to stand beside him and fight with him. Obviously, the kids would stand no chance, and they took her beloved brother with them as a price.
Just before they were able to get their hands on the Hero, the stranger stepped in out of nowhere, fought back and chased the raiders away, but unable to rescue the brother from the pack.
Eventually, she was alone, wanting so desperately to get her brother back.

With that, she decided to train hard, get stronger, and never loose someone to evil forces ever agian.
Eventually, she would leave her village, to train her skills, make money to send it to her aching, widowed mother, on the journey to find her brother.

In her adolesence, just like every capable fighter in the lands of Eisen, she had no choice but to fight in the war. She has learned lots of lessons about the nature of war and that ultimately, whether good or evil, everybody will lose as a result. But she has the burning question, if she will ever be able to see her brother again.
So now she is roaming the lands of Montaigne, following the bits of traces her brother left her, seemingly surviving, and sending excess money to her mother.
Inspired by that stranger, who selflessly risked his own life to save some kids, she wants to protect everybody she meets and works towards ending the wars, so that noone has to suffer again.

What makes your character a hero?

She is a selfless fighter. She wants to end the suffering of the people, all the wars, especially the ones in her home country. She will never give up, to live up to her ideals and visions of a brighter future, even in such dark places like her home country Eisen.
Ultimately, her goal is to see her brother again and face the raiders and bring them justice.


Who or what will oppose your character?

People will try to use her good will. She will have a hard time figuring out "who/what" is good, and "who/what" is evil for her ideals.
People, who rob, torture, torment especially the simple folk oppose her and her ideal of justice and peace. She will stand up to bandits and monsters, especially the ones that harm the defenseless.

How will your character die?

She was taught to pick the fights wisely, by the stranger who saved her life. But she didn't learn it, and that in fact, she knows. She faced the raiders in the past, and failed to protect her brother. It will happen many times. Some call it foolishness, but it is her way of not giving up.

Finally, that will be her ultimate death, probably on the path of searching for her brother. She will pick a fight against an evil force she has been chasing after, using her last strength, she will deliver the final blow, dying on the spot from the aftermath of her wounds, assured that she has at least made an impact in the world by crossing the plans of a destructive mind.
