Britta and Krista

Britta and Krista are Warmaidens of Armedia. Twin sisters, they are a rare exception to the rule that infantry sever family ties. Steadfast and stubborn, with a reputation for violent brawling, it may have proved too much trouble to separate them.

Possibly owing to their close affinity and ability to meld their tactics, the two are rarely seen apart from each other and are often dispatched as a pair on missions.

They are not fond of the Ritterstorm, and reserve particular venom for Vanessa Redstorm. Who also owes them a sizable sum of money for gambling debts. They delight in any opportunity to mock, deride, or humiliate Vanessa Redstorm, going so far as to buy a wheezing, broken-down old nag in the town of Sundsfar after discovering the renowned cavalry rider had found herself temporarily between horses, parading about on it.

Britta
Of the two, neither of which would be reckoned as especially charming, Britta is the least personable. Sarcastic, dismissive, and prone to invective she is easily aroused to anger. Even her manner of speech is acidic, biting off each word with bitter disdain - even if she holds the unfortunate recipient in genuine esteem.

During the Battle of Fenwick's Farm, when the town of Everwater rallied behind newly-appointed Sherrif Hamfist "Goblincrusher" Took to defeat The Terror, Britta was knocked down and nearly melted by the creature's acidic breath. In an unlikely turn of events, she was saved by the Malvernan Justicar, Marcus Gideon. Granting him rare respect, and some burgeoning affection, she agreed to work with Justicar Gideon as an equal in helping administer Everwater's security after Hamfist and his Heroic Friends left to find out who had unleashed The Terror against the town.

Krista
Krista is the softer-spoken, more reasonable of the pair. In contrast to Britta's harsh, clipped speech, Krista speaks with almost sinister inflection. It is, in fact, a manner of speaking she practices frequently in an effort to imitate what she believes is "diplomatic and charming". To date her efforts at etiquette have only succeeded in making her slightly less awful to deal with.

Krista harbours a special fondness for the swashbuckler Tairon Two-River, something of which Britta sternly disapproves as a "useless distraction". In an effort to attract his affection, she has paid Stella Stumpstead a considerable sum for lessons in the art of love.

She remains as yet unaware that both Vanessa Redstorm and Mia Heartstorm also vie for the affections of said swashbuckler.
