Thus there is a tentative peace, until a party of southern raiders disguise themselves and take an entire household of northern native women hostage. Their goal: the highly valuable dragon scales that are common in the north-lands but inaccessible to most southerners. Thus with her family held hostage, the eldest daughter of the house must venture out into the night to find more dragon scales. In the process she and others will find out the secrets of the goblins, the southern empire, and spirit of protection that presides over all these woods. And this is only the beginning.
(first comic)
Kelu
Our heroine, Kelu, is a young woman who is ready to the see the rest of the world but got more than she bargained for. Although she is only eighteen, she is already the aunt of at least five nieces and nephews, whom she often looks after and does her best to keep out of danger. At one point she punched a dragon in the face because it was threatening one of her nieces. She responsible, determined, clever, and highly protective about those she cares about.
Also while not always apparent she is also incredibly tall, as the average height for a north-land woman is about six and a half feet (or about 200cm). And while of course the cold weather of a snowy winter doesn't exactly lend itself to a lot of moments outside of warm boots, there are a few delightful scenes where Kelu does go shoeless.
