Background
Miss Surtr was originally an ordinary person before awakening as Surtr, a flame-wielding Sarkaz swordswoman with memories, experiences, knowledge, and lives from multiple sources. Five years had passed since she arrived on Terra and “became herself.” 1
Her power was developed through both Surtr’s body and Laevateinn, as well as years of training and research informed by knowledge gathered across dream worlds. In those worlds, her will enters secondary bodies while her true body remains on Terra. 6 20
Her closest encounter with death came in a battle against Persephone at the latter’s peak. The two subsequently became allies and rivals capable of trusting, supporting, and occasionally betraying one another. 23
During the Chernobog crisis, Surtr aided Yelena and the Reunion Movement’s Infected by directing them toward Rhodes Island treatment. She later helped secure Catastrophe shelters by eliminating the forces obstructing civilian evacuation. 5 40
Appearance
Surtr is a flame-haired Sarkaz girl with a fair complexion, cold expression, indifferent eyes, and black horns extending behind her ears like blades. 1
- Long, fair hands with clean, lustrous nails. 1
- Golden-red hair that moves vividly in strong winds. 1
- Black Sarkaz horns in her Terra body. 1
- Dream-realm bodies retain her familiar face but lack Sarkaz horns. 6 110
- Frequently carries or is accompanied by the floating red-and-black flame sword Laevateinn. 24
Personality
Surtr is blunt, self-possessed, and impatient with posturing. She commonly evaluates opponents in direct terms and has little interest in reputation, ceremony, or authority for its own sake. 23 40 173
Despite her detached exterior, she repeatedly acts to protect others: arranging treatment for the Infected, assisting Chernobog’s evacuation, crafting gifts for companions, and refusing to permanently kill the Undead Legion despite their attacks. 5 40 155 301 302
She is capable of severe introspection. After recognizing her lack of emotional response toward Persephone and recalling people important to her, Surtr resolved to change rather than remain emotionally stagnant. 46
Surtr also has a playful, teasing side, particularly around people she finds interesting. She teases Mona, Kal'tsit, and Warfarin, though she is often slow to recognize the emotional implications of others’ behavior toward her. 119 253 287 308
