This is the first playable character I am focusing my attention on. A little girl (currently named Ndiliswa) was shorter than her peers, so she kept eating, hoping she would grow, but she only grew rounder. She dreamt of being the strongest hero, the one to save everyone. When we are introduced to her in the script, she is defending a little girl from some bullies. She distracts them long enough for their poor victim to get away. Subsequently, they turn on our hero.


When she is imbued with magic, she becomes big and strong, relying on physical strength over everything else, her ideal of a great warrior. Soon, of course, she grows over-confident, and when that confidence takes a knock, she crumbles.



She is based on the Jungian Hero Archetype, so it's important to her that she is the one to save the day, and she is prone to arrogance.

Gameplay wise she is large and powerful, wielding double-handed bludgeoning weapons.
