Description: Rosary is a petite yet striking kobold, her obsidian-black scales gleaming with a faint, venomous sheen. Intricate emerald markings curl along her limbs, tail, and face, resembling the twisting vines of a toxic bloom. Her sharp, piercing green eyes hold an ever-watchful glint, betraying the keen intelligence and predatory instincts lurking beneath her graceful exterior.

Unlike many of her kin, Rosary’s physique is built for agility and precision, favoring speed over raw strength. Her slender frame moves with the fluid grace of a seasoned assassin, each step light and calculated. Her claws, coated in a natural venom, add to her deadly efficiency, making even the lightest scratch a potential death sentence.

Her most distinctive feature is the pair of soft, curved horns atop her head—not truly her own, but a trait of her unique kobold subspecies. While they lack the hardness of traditional horns, they remain sensitive, often shifting subtly in response to her emotions or surroundings.

Rosary’s venom and acid-based abilities originate from specialized glands within her long, flexible tail. This tail serves as both a reservoir and a weapon, storing her lethal fluids for use in combat. However, her supply is finite—once depleted, she must allow time for her body to replenish its deadly reserves.

Despite her lethality, Rosary carries herself with an almost playful confidence, her movements fluid and deliberate. Whether draped in elegant silks or clad in more practical attire, she exudes a presence that is both alluring and dangerous—a walking paradox of beauty and death.

Rosary is fiercely determined to prove her worth, a trait rooted in generations of kobolds being dismissed as tricksters, thieves, or simply useless. She refuses to let those claims define her, honing herself into one of the finest assassins her kingdom has ever known. Her skills quickly caught the attention of her rulers, who sent her in search of greater challenges.

Again and again, Rosary has proven her favorite saying true: “Don’t underestimate me because I am small—even the smallest rose has its thorns.”

However, her determination sometimes crosses into recklessness. This was most evident when she learned of bandits stealing unhatched kobold eggs to sell on the black market. Unable to stand by while families lost their young, she launched a solo raid against them. Though her intentions were noble, she was ultimately captured—until Empress Kialä and her cobras came to her rescue.

Since that day, Rosary has sworn unwavering loyalty to Kialä, serving as her hidden blade while also protecting the interests of her own people. Armed with her deadly skills and a special katar, she stands fearless against any enemy, no matter their size or strength.

Training: Rosary’s training was overseen by none other than her kingdom’s tribal war chief. Under his rigorous guidance, she mastered a wide range of skills, from the art of assassination in even the most crowded areas to the subtle craft of subterfuge. She learned to navigate the shadows, lifting information without a trace, and when stealth failed, she honed her ability to fight head-to-head.

Rosary absorbed every lesson with relentless dedication, determined to become a force no one could underestimate. Whether slipping through enemy lines or eliminating a target with deadly precision, she stands as a testament to her war chief’s teachings—and to her own unyielding will.

Katar of the earth god: Rosary generally dislikes relying on weapons, preferring her claws and venomous techniques to get the job done. However, she has reluctantly taken up a single weapon—a specially crafted katar imbued with the power of the earth itself.

The weapon is designed for both offense and defense, featuring a spiked knuckle guard that protects her hand while doubling as a brutal tool for knocking out opponents. The main blade follows the triangular design of a traditional katar, but with an added twist—two smaller, curved side blades crafted specifically for disarming foes or inflicting additional wounds.

What makes this katar truly formidable, however, is its connection to powerful earth magic. It can summon localized tremors, carve deep fissures into the ground, and even create minor earthquakes. Its most devastating ability is a spell Rosary calls “Volcanic Charge.” When she slams the katar into the earth, it triggers a small explosion followed by a surge of molten magma.

Despite its destructive potential, Rosary knows she must wield this weapon with extreme caution. While she can summon magma, she is not fireproof—meaning one misstep could put her in as much danger as her enemies.

The killing instinct: Beneath Rosary’s calm and collected exterior lurks something far more dangerous—her killing instinct. When pushed beyond her limits or forced into a true fight for survival, she surrenders to a primal state of fury and bloodlust.

In this heightened state, Rosary’s strength, agility, and durability skyrocket, making her appear nearly untouchable in combat. She moves with lethal precision, every action driven by an overwhelming urge to kill or be killed. However, while the killing instinct makes her a terrifying force of nature, it also comes at a great cost.

Despite the immense power it grants her, this state leaves Rosary more vulnerable than ever. A skilled and intelligent opponent can take advantage of her tunnel vision, luring her into traps or exploiting her reckless aggression.

Beyond the physical toll, the killing instinct also ravages her mind. When it takes hold, she loses all sense of self, becoming nothing more than a weapon of destruction. Once the battle ends, the only way for Rosary to regain control is to force herself out of it—or drown the memories in drink. This struggle is why she fights so hard to maintain her usual composure, fearing what might happen if she ever lost control completely.

Mountain kingdom of the silent mountain: Nestled within the jagged peaks and hidden paths, the Mountain Kingdom of the Silent Mountain is the homeland of Rosary and her kin. Cloaked in ancient stone and whispered legends, this kingdom is anything but silent—it’s alive with the bustling energy of kobold tribes, ancient machinery, and unshakable traditions.

Though often dismissed by outsiders, the kobolds here have carved a deep, proud culture into the mountain’s heart—built on survival, craftsmanship, and resilience. It’s a realm that bred Rosary into the skilled warrior she is. Every crack in the stone and every flame of a forge reminds her where she came from—and what she fights to protect.

Trap creations: While Rosary is best known as a shadowy assassin and agile front-line fighter, her sharp mind and kobold heritage make her a master of traps as well. Drawing from generations of kobold ingenuity, she employs a wide variety of snares, ambush tools, and deadly mechanisms with ruthless creativity.

Her traps range from classic snap traps—mechanical jaws that slam shut with bone-crushing force—to poison dart rigs hidden behind near-invisible threads, ready to strike at the slightest misstep.

On more destructive days, Rosary isn’t above planting explosive traps—potent devices she trades for with the dwarves, who share the underground roots of her people. These rare tools are saved for high-value targets or when intimidation is as important as the kill.

But what truly sets Rosary apart is her adaptability. Whether crafting a trap from enchanted scrap, rare kobold tech, or weaving in ancient tribal magic, she’ll always find a way to turn the battlefield into a deadly puzzle no enemy walks away from easily.

To Rosary, anything can be a trap. The question is only whether the enemy will see it before it’s too late.

Human interaction: Rosary is often underestimated by humans due to her small size and the long-held stereotypes about kobolds being little more than dancers, servants, or sneaky thieves. But those who dismiss her soon find themselves regretting it. One such individual was King Alaric Thornecliff, a proud and arrogant ruler known for his disdain toward non-human races. Confident that kobolds held no true value in battle, he scoffed when Rosary challenged his strongest warrior to a duel.

The match was made a public spectacle, the humans eager to watch what they assumed would be an amusing defeat. But Rosary came armed with her Katar of the Earth God, and within seconds of the duel starting, she struck with the speed and precision of a viper. Her blows appeared light at first, until she stepped back with a faint smirk and whispered a phrase in her native tongue. The warrior’s body seized—each shallow cut she delivered igniting with venomous pain, paralyzing him.

King Alaric, enraged, ordered his knights to apprehend her. They didn’t last long—Rosary danced through their ranks with magic and steel, bringing them down with elegant ruthlessness. That day, she rewrote the human perception of kobolds, earning both fear and respect. Her message was clear: kobolds were not weak—and Rosary was proof they could be stronger than any human expected.

dwarf interaction: The kobolds of the Silent Mountain have long maintained a strong and cooperative relationship with the neighboring Dwarven Kingdom of the Slumbering Mountain. Built on mutual respect, trade, and the shared necessity of survival in harsh mountain terrain, this alliance has stood for generations. While kobolds excel in agility and cunning, dwarves offer unmatched craftsmanship and raw strength—together, their strengths complement each other.

Rosary herself has excellent rapport with the dwarves. She frequently trades for the explosives they produce, using them in her more destructive traps. It’s whispered among some that she even received guerrilla warfare training from a clan of dwarven tacticians, masters of ambush and tunnel warfare. Their teachings, paired with Rosary’s natural stealth and lethality, only sharpened her edge.

In times of crisis—whether it be orc invasions, undead incursions, or goblin raiders—the kobolds and dwarves fight side by side. Their bond is more than political; it’s personal, bound by a pact forged in the early days of both kingdoms. Rosary honors that pact with pride, viewing the dwarves not just as allies, but as essential partners in keeping their mountains secure.

Goblin interaction: the goblins are rosary and the kobold tribes sworn rivals and to a degree enemies they refuse to see Rosary’s people in a positive light considering them nothing but greedy little mountain lizards,

A claim that endlessly infuriates rosary she has tried countless times to strike a alliance with the goblins but each time one was agreed on the goblins betrays them at some point or another labeling them as untrustworthy which was ashamed in rosary’s eyes as she believes their engineering skills are better most of the other races,

But alas the kobolds and goblins remains at odds with each other perhaps one day they can learn to trust each other and work together instead of betrayal,


Resistance inspiration: To many kobolds, Rosary is more than just a fighter—she’s a symbol of resistance. Against stereotypes, oppression, and condescension, she’s the one who stood up and proved that kobolds are more than clever scavengers or overlooked pests. They are warriors. Survivors. Legends in the making.

Her story, victories, and the respect she’s earned from powerful rulers like Empress Kialä have become fuel for younger kobolds, especially those who dream of something greater. Whether they wield tools or weapons, Rosary’s message is clear: they matter, and their strength deserves to be seen.


Goal for kobold kind: Rosary’s greatest ambition isn’t just personal glory—it’s the future of kobold kind. She dreams of a day where kobolds no longer need to prove their worth, where they stand as respected equals among dwarves, humans, elves, and more. A future of unity, strength, and self-worth.

To achieve that, she’ll fight, climb, and bleed if she must. Whether it’s with poison in her tail or wisdom on her tongue, Rosary will carve a path forward—one that lifts her people from the shadows into the world’s light.

Secret: Beneath all her confidence, fire, and venom, Rosary carries a truth she rarely speaks:
She’s afraid of what she might become.

The killing instinct, her power, her rage—they terrify her. She’s not sure if she can always control it… or what would happen if she couldn’t. In the wrong moment, with the wrong trigger, she fears losing herself completely. That maybe, one day, she won’t come back from it.

And so, she keeps her smile sharp and her secrets closer. Because if she’s to lead her people, they need to see strength—not fear.
