Legends of Belariath

Hashmulan

Hashmulan was born Lily Gracious, a young sheltered girl who grew up under the watchful eye of her mother, Seras. Constantly warned about the dangers of men, and how horrible they were, she avoided them as much as possible... Until an event happened that she could not avoid. One night, as she was walking home, several men kidnapped her. After they savagely smashed her head in with a club, then smashed said head into the ground, she could do nothing but drool and watch as the men begin to beat her and rape for hours.. days.. months... she could not tell until they finally slit her throat, and left her to die...

Some time later, she awoke, but her body was tall and powerful, not the small woman's body she had before. As while she slept for a period of time, one not even that long, her body grew wildly with a growth spurt of one who had not yet reached full height, but the girl did not realize that. With that, she took a new guise, wanting to avoid the lecherous gaze of men by claiming to be one herself. She declared herself Hashmulan, and hid her gender as she began her training as a healer... her vow to defend all women fresh in her mind...

She arrived at the inn one day, and there, she became a darling of many women... and the enemy of many men. She collared the kitten Calena, and gained the love of the nymph Eustace... And more astonishingly, the heart of the swan may Isaura she stole. And even caught the eye of Catirena, and Adrienna... Who she is a bodyguard of.
