Description
Of modest height and plain features, this woman's only claim to remarkability is the steely regard that permeates her being. She displays an assuredness and composure ill-suited to common blood, the resulting solemnity complemented by warm brown eyes. Her hair, muted gold, has been kept a feminine length but is usually bound in a braid, bun, or other confinement to keep secure and out of the way. Her frame exhibits a nimble strength, shoulders broadened and limbs made sinewy by labor.
Personality
Determined, stoic, dour, ruthless. Any of these might describe the quiet woman, raised by the Inquisition's Master of Questions. Confronted early with the fear that came from being seen as part of that organization, Faye learned to give away little and ever watch the disposition of others. That upbringing instilled a conviction that sacrifices, no matter how brutal, must be accepted to ensure the wellbeing of the innocent - and as she grew older, she trained to accomplish that through martial skill. She accepts responsibility for her actions and is rarely given to complaint, willingly shouldering any guilt incurred along the way.
The course of Faye's life has not left her bitter, and with friends she shows a sense of humor, dry and acidic but lighthearted. She exhibits a blunt honesty and levels the same demands upon them that she does upon herself, though certain associations have gifted her deep reserves of patience.
Background
Despite growing up a commoner, Faye Ruger was treated with a degree of respect and even fear that she never could grow accustomed to. The daughter of the previous Master of Questions of the Inquisition, her father was responsible for ferreting out the threats to the Compact and bringing the enemies of the Crown to justice, and Faye quickly learned as a child just how feared the Inquisition truly was. It pained her to see innocent men and women legitimately afraid of the institution, and deeply offended her that some would imagine that her good and honorable father would be capable of the kind of arbitrary maliciousness that some ascribe to the Crown's investigative arm. Certainly the Inquisition has to make difficult, even cruel choices at times for the good of everyone, but she never saw her father be capricious or unjust, and she grew up expecting to follow in his footsteps to safeguard the Realm. Her father Berthold Ruger's death a decade ago solidified that vague expectation into a burning desire, and there's perhaps no more dedicated investigator inside the entire Inquisition.
Certainly that's what her partner and constant companion Prince Laric Grayson feels about her, with his freewheeling and imaginative nature a perfect match for her dedicated, calculating resolve. It's not easy, and she's had to do plenty of things to protect the realm that can make one lose sleep at night, but this is what she was born to do.
