Tova

Tova is a dwarven blood hunter and a were-bear. She is played by Noelle Stevenson.

Appearance
Tova has dark auburn hair with a shock of white-gray in it and is shaved on the sides of her head. Her left ear is torn to shreds and she has multiple claw marks across her face.

Background
Tova came to the Nine Hells with a group of friends, most of whom were killed. Tova and her two surviving companions were imprisoned in Mentiri, the underground prison in the City of Dis. One of those friends had made a contract with a devil at some point, which Tova thought was a very bad idea. She was eventually purchased from the prison by the pit fiend Utugash, who took her to his stronghold and proceeded to torture her in an attempt to corrupt her soul.

The party finds Tova shackled to a table when they infiltrate the stronghold. They free and heal her and she joins them in the fight against the devils. She shifts into a bear.
