A DnD character I created and am hoping to play in the near future, Amira R'vavenngshl, or just "Ammy" for short. (Don't attempt to pronounce her last name, you can't do it without a forked tongue)

She's a dragonborn warlord currently working for the militia of a human state.

Her clan of dragonborn held a small farming and hunting town in what was literally the middle of nowhere. In time, a kingdom of humans grew nearby and gradually expanded into their territory. While the rights to their territory was always something of a touchy issue between the two cultures, neither was particularily interested in conflict and eventually the humans and dragonborn settled into a very awkward trading relationship.

However, one day the dragonborn town came under seige by an uppity goblin tribe desperate for resources and food, and attempted to raid the community, hoping that the much more powerful human militia would not interfere.

They were wrong.

The humans, although not formally allied with the dragonborn, did send aide to the dragonborn as they struggled to defend their home. And while the humans responded quickly to the threat, the dragonborn casualties were already heavy, and by the time the humans and dragonborn had routed the entire goblin colony from their burrows, there was little left of the dragonborn's town. The survivors have since mostly relocated to the human kingdom, and Ammy now serves in the Human militia, to honour the humans who came to the aid of her people in their time of need.
