Jaina

 is a human were-bear living on Rumblecusp. As an NPC, is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Jaina is a half-elf female, muscular and built like a barrel or a keg. She has patches of hair across her body amongst tattered leathers, a pair of nice, standard tailored pants that are torn and dirty, and muttonchops that come down to the edge of her chin.

Personality
Jaina appeared to be the leader of her hunting party with Pono.

Background
Pono has no memory of his life before arriving on Rumblecusp, saying that he's lived there as long as he can remember, but everything led to bringing him there. He bears a tattoo of the Clasp, suggesting he was a member at some time in his past. When questioned about whether he had always been a were-bear, Pono indicated some scars on his shoulder, commenting that "some circumstance got out of hand." Jaina later said that she'd gotten into a "bit of a tussle with [him], but he's taken good care of it."

Jaina leaped out of the jungle in bear form to attack one of the several displacer beasts that had surrounded the Mighty Nein. She and Pono then befriended the party and escorted them back to the village. Notably, neither she nor Pono had any clear idea of where they had come from before arriving on Rumblecusp some unknown number of years earlier.

Relationships
Jaina is one of the villagers the Mighty Nein encountered on Rumblecusp.
