Clothesline

 is a tabaxi fighter. She was played by Ashly Burch in.

Appearance
Clothesline is a tall, female humanoid with rippling biceps and long whiskers. She has a feline face and is covered with tan and orange fur. Her face, when we first saw her, was bandaged, and she had an imposing posture that said, “don’t fuck with me.”

Personality
She tends to get in fights. Where she comes from, people are named for their favorite thing to do, and hers is to clothesline people. She also had a general distrust of magic-users, who she considered 'freaky'.

Background
Clothesline comes from the same hometown as Jayne, who in the recent past saved her life. Clothesline considered it as a significant favor from Jayne, which she must repay in the future. As a child, she loved to clothesline other children. She eventually graduated to clotheslining adults. Before the beginning of the one-shot, Clothesline got into a fight in which she killed several people but injured her head. She came in the Ass Sailor at Jayne request to fulfill the favor, waiting her signal to start a bar fight.

Clothesline was a regular at the Ass Sailor in Jorenn Village. She took an immediate dislike to Gryffin and punched Kingston for ineptly hitting on her, as he had done many times before. When Jayne signalled her, she suddenly attacked Gryffin and started a bar brawl. In the ensuing fight she shrugged off Gryffin's magic and the occasional attacks of other patrons and bar staff. She was shocked, however, when Jayne turned on her and tried to kill her with a spell; before she could retaliate, a strange man abducted Holly and descended by trapdoor into the basement.

Clothesline (who cared very little about Holly) tagged along with the rest of the party as they explored the basement because she was hoping to get even with Jayne, who she managed to corner in the bar's store-room. When she grabbed Jayne by the throat and demanded answers, the death cleric instead nearly killed her with an Inflict Wounds spell. As Clothesline lay badly wounded on the floor, Jayne revealed that she was a cultist of the Chained Oblivion and demanded that Clothesline assist her in exchange for getting to live.

During the fight with the salamander 'Garello', Clothesline was knocked out; when Kingston (hoping perhaps to win her affections) healed her, she came round to find Jayne attempting to finish her off. She attacked Jayne and brutally injured her with her signature Double Clothesline Combo, but was unable to stop the cleric from fleeing the scene. Immediately after Garello was defeated, Clothesline and the rest of the party were arrested.

Jayne
The cleric once saved Clothesline's life, for which Clothesline owed her a favor.

Clothesline received a lot of unwanted romantic attention from Kingston.
