Rosina

She started carrying supplies up the mountain with her father at seventeen and later became one of the few female guides there, reaching the summit over a hundred times a year. Long black hair braided into a thick plait, wheat-colored skin, striking eyebrows and eyes, an athletic build, and a hearty laugh. A string of colorful beads from her hometown hangs on her backpack.

Personality. Cheerful, decisive, and astonishingly strong. On the mountain, her word is law; off it, she loves to have fun. She has infinite patience for hikers who fall behind, encouraging them with Kadazan legends about the sacred mountain. She dislikes being treated like a "girl" who needs care. Loud voice.
