Yasha Nydoorin

Yasha is an aasimar barbarian. She is played by Ashley Johnson.

Appearance
Yasha is a tall woman with very, very pale skin. Her hair is black and starts to turn white as it gets longer. Her hair is matted, dreaded, and braided. Her clothes are a bit tattered and she is a bit of a mess. She has two different-colored eyes: one of them is a sort of light greenish-blue and the other is violet. She worships and wears a symbol of The Stormlord on her waist.

Personality
Yasha is very standoffish. To the outside world, she seems to be cold-hearted and lacking empathy, however she does show kindness from time to time. She is shown to-for an unknown reason-not like traveling in groups, having a preference to be alone. She's recently been seen to be socially awkward around others.

Pre-Stream
Ashley Johnson did not have a pre-stream session due to her work in Blindspot

Chapter 9
Yasha tried to make a run for it after the incident at the Traveling Tent of Curiosities. However, she didn't make it far, and she was arrested by the Crownsguard.

She reunited with the rest of the party at their trial before the town's Lawmaster. After being acquitted of their charges, Yasha decided to remain in Trostenwald. She needed to converse with someone for unknown reasons. All she would reveal is that, while she was aware that she wasn't beholden to Gustav anymore, Gustav wasn't the only person she owed debts to. She promised to meet the rest of the party in Zadash at some point.

Mollymauk Tealeaf
Molly and Yasha seem to be well acquainted from working with the Carnival of Curiosities. Molly appears to have met Yasha when she joined the Carnival a few months ago.

Yasha knows about as much as Molly when it comes to Molly's past.

Beauregard
Yasha and Beau seem to be hitting it off very well. When Yasha asked Beauregard to hand Yasha all of her weapons she asked if she could keep her walking stick. Yasha declined but instead carried Beau to her seat. When they got there, Beau asked Yasha to hold her through the show. Yasha asked for several gold to do this but seemed to take the request as a compliment.
