Rica Brosca

Rica Brosca is the sister of the Warden in the Dwarf Commoner Origin, and daughter of Kalah Brosca. Like the Warden, she is under the thumb of the crime lord Beraht.

Background
Beraht considers Rica one of his many "investments", as he is paying for her education, clothing, make-up, dental work, speech lessons, and the like. Beraht impatiently expects her to attract a Noble-caste patron and bear him a son. If she does this she will be elevated to the caste of her patron's house, and Beraht intends to claim her as a family member, thus enjoying elevation in caste himself.

Involvement
Rica will appear in both the Dwarf Commoner and Dwarf Noble Origin. She is currently trying to conceive a male child for a noble, which will be to Beraht's benefit, as well as her own. Under the dwarven caste system, a child inherits the caste of its same-gender parent. A male child fathered by a noble would be of the noble caste and it is customary for the family of the child's mother (including "Uncle" Beraht) to be brought into the noble's household.
