Major Arcana: Chariot

Song: Queen - Don't Stop me now
"Why would I need a legacy? My battle is far from done."
Raqua, former soldier of the Elven Kingdom of Stonehearth is an aberration of an elf. Her physique is more muscular than most. She possesses several husbands and despite the natural Elven low birth rates, has a child from each one. Even so it wasn't her pregnancy nor parenting that stole her from the battlefield and her self made battalion. Betrayal and abandonment behind enemy lines lead Raqua's riders to their fate, causing her to be dismissed in dishonor. In this dark hour, she was reborn. Becoming a mercenary, she was given freedom and her family a new purpose; to define their own legacies.
In her free time, Raqua can be found tending to her beloved mount, Shelby. The enchanted mount has carried her across more miles than most could imagine. The rest of her time can be found in her children. Whether advising, sparring or even just listening, her horde of children are her pride and joy. The children number currently fourteen across varying ages.
Professionally, Raqua is thorough, methodical and efficient commander. She is known as a demanding boss but recognizes those who excel. As second in command, she oversees distribution of the company's forces and takes field command if Ru'Sala is preoccupied. It is an open secret that the Commander is the better tactician while Raqua's strategic genius and organizational skills are superior. That being said, the secondary role allows her to dump work on Ru'Sala and enjoy her life freely when it suits her.
