Arkana was originally a female member of the Voroshk Clan and a wizard who though originally a hostage later became a member of the Black Company. She is later adopted by Croaker and Lady alongside Shukrat.
Appearance
Arkana is described as being a mid-teen with blonde-haired, blue eyed, and fair skinned like the rest of the Voroshk clan, as well like the rest of the female Voroshk as being curvaceous, long-legged, and gorgeous. She is known to scowl often.
Personality
Like all of the Voroshk children captured by the Black Company, Arkana demonstrates an aloof demeanor around her captors and earns the ice queen moniker by persisting in it long after the others have started to warm up to the Company. After being raped by pursuing brother's during Gromovol's escape attempt, Arkana withdraws into herself, but eventually opens up under Croaker's care, slowly coming to take part in the activities of the Company. From this point on, she starts to relate more and more to Croaker, who becomes a bit of a protector and father figure for her. Arkana has been noted as being the smartest of the Voroshk of the Company and is not afraid to be sneaky and manipulative when it suits her.
Background
Born and raised in the Voroshk Clan who ruled their entire world Arkana knew a fairly easy life growing up. She didn't have much of a relationship with her real father and didn't really like a relative of hers named Shukrat.
Plot
When the Black Company enters the Voroshk homeworld Arkana and two other Voroshk children are send to deal with the trespassers though two of them are quickly subdued and the last flees. Arkana and another girl who was possibly her sister are treated by Croaker and she is taken captive and her Rheitgeistiden and shefsepoke are confiscated.
Arkana is kept with the Company when the Voroshk Leaders accidentally destroy their own Shadowgate while trying to kill the Company with her as collateral damage. She is later joined by fellow Voroshk children Shukrat, Sedvod, Magadan, and Gromovol when they plan to join up with Company to escape the Killing Shadows that are invading their world without the Shadowgate to hold them back. They are forced to hand over their Rheitgeistiden (flying post) and shefsepoke (Magic armor). Crossing the Plain of Glittering Stone they are introduced to Tobo who assigns a group of soldiers to watch and teach them language, local culture, and local religions before they arrive in a new world. Not long after Sedvod falls into what appears to be a coma and later dies. She begins to alongside Shukrat borrow her post to Tobo in an attempt to get close and manipulate him.
Yet to be finished.
