Agnieszka Kaczmarek has come a long way. Once, she was the ungrateful, obnoxious girl leeching off her long-suffering relatives, getting in trouble every which way with the sword she always carried around. Now, she's someone to admire -- someone who wanted and worked hard enough to make the impossible happen -- turning an insolent farmgirl into the Chairwoman of the Myrken Wood Defense Committee, the only woman to hold civic office in the province.
Nevertheless, Agnie has a tendency, like many her age, towards angst and overconfidence. Calling her hot-headed is a mistake; she's merely as stubborn as a mule and as driven as a con artist with a quota. This was tempered, for a while, by being married to the scholar-knight Aleksei River, who encouraged her to actually look at situations for what they truly are before using violence, but after his death some of her old tendencies began to re-emerge. She has also been quieted a little by her experiences as a member of the King's Own in Razasan, an experience she rarely talks about.
She spent much of her short life living in the same little sharecropper's hovel on the same little farm in the same little corner of Myrken Wood with the same seven members of her boisterious, foul-mouthed, slightly-criminal immigrant family. Like many of her peers, she had cultivated a healthy mistrust of the aristocracy and of the military; this is tempered a little with Glenn Burnie, whom she holds a distinct loyalty to and whom she considers one of her best friends, and with the commander of the King's Own, Constantine Kostroma. She does not trust anyone from Thessilane; that comes from the betrayal and demon-possession of Aeryn Karolinger, the death of Kerrak al'Nerun and her own ideas of what freedom should look like.
Agnieszka is more literate than she was, having been taught her letters by Aeryn Karolinger and Aleksei River, but she talks like a brassy, well-wrought auctioneer. She is canny, bony, and black-haired, loyal where life calls for loyalty, and hopelessly hopeful. The Broken Dagger has been a revelation for the young farmhand: from her first exposure to Myrken's movers and shakers, she's hung around the place attempting to cobble a better life for herself out of their scraps, leavings, and occasional generous offers.
Things have recently changed for Agnieszka. After a year's training with the King's Own in Razasan, she married Aleksei River in 213. Less than a year later, she became a widow when Aleksei drowned in a sea battle outside Orvere while he was in Thessilane on business for Governor Burnie.
She wears black gloves at all times.
Currently
Agnieszka has married Aleksei River and is currently taken up with fortifying the Ringwall against what she sees as a possible Thessilanean advance.
