 ===== Background =====
-Iona Lynge’s early years aboard the Last Frontier ended abruptly with the crash landing on VOI 700 D. Settling in Hope, she worked the geothermal farms but discovered her true calling in the brutal spectacle of the Old Netter’s Rest central Brawl Ring. There, she amassed an unprecedented 158 consecutive victories—earning both prize wealth and a fearsome reputation.
+Iona Lynge grew up aboard the Last Frontier where, as a child, she towered over her peers — taller and broader than most, especially the girls. Cruel teasing and physical bullying from other children marked her early years, until she discovered that her very size and strength were basically her greatest assets …
-After the Great War and the rise of [[communardism|Communardism]], GAIA assigned Iona in 2631 as doorwoman to the newly re-opened Saloon Gloria. Paired with Federal Host Trixi Da Vinci, she enforces the strict Gamma Age limits on patrons and quashes disturbances with unflinching efficiency.
+After the crash landing on [[the_planet_voi_700_d|VOI 700 D]], Iona Lynge first made her living in Hope’s agricultural industry but soon realized her true calling lay in the brutal spectacle of the Old Netter’s Rest central Brawl Ring. There, she amassed an unprecedented 158 consecutive victories — earning both prize wealth and a fearsome reputation.
+Despite her harsh appearance, she also has a gentle side: she rescued an injured [[flutterwing|Flutterwing]] after a brawl in Hope, nursed it back to health, and nicknamed it “Bert the Bird.” Bert perches on her shoulder or nestles in her pocket, a constant companion.
+After the[[great_war| Great War]] and the rise of [[communardism|Communardism]], [[gaia|GAIA]] tapped Iona in 2631 to serve as doorwoman for the newly re-opened [[saloon_gloria|Saloon Gloria]]. Paired with Federal Hostess [[trixi_da_vinci|Trixi Da Vinci]], she quashes disturbances with unflinching efficiency — always with Bert close at hand.
+Though members of the [[jane_bold_gang|Jane Mendoza Gang]] operate within the saloon, Iona remains politically neutral; her only allegiance is to Trixi’s leadership and the order she upholds.

   * **Unyielding Guard:** When defending a doorway or chokepoint, Iona gains +2 to AC and saving throws vs. being moved or knocked prone.
   * **Champion’s Endurance:** Once per long rest, when reduced to 0 HP, immediately drop to 1 HP and gain temporary HP equal to her Constitution modifier.
+  * **Bert’s Homing Flight:** Iona’s flutterwing, Bert the Bird, can deliver messages reliably and always return home (e.g. Saloon Gloria in the Gamma Age). As an action, Iona can attach a written note (up to 50 g) to Bert and release him.
