So, in the Spelljammer game, I sometimes delegate naming of characters to my players cause we are all creative folk, and if it gives them a bit of an inclusive feeling in the creativity I'm all for that. So the players are solving a series of murders in a pirate city (on the back of a gammeroid, the city is named Penyu). The murders are of the few dedicated clergy of gods and goddesses that might have followers amongst pirates (Celestian, Besmara, Umberlee, etc). So a cleric of Celestian hears the players are working the case and shows up because a fellow traveller of celestian has disappeared. So I delegated naming, and she was named Cydonia, but then the player went a step further and said she was a firbolg. Ugh. I really don't like the 5e firbolg... I'm not usually a grognard, but in this case I embrace it. Well, in my spelljammer game I am using a LOT of 2e lore (and some Spider Moon/3e lore) so I decided she was a firbolg from an earlier edition. So she's not a cross between a sheep and a gnome, but a wild haired red head leader of the fey hunt. I am really enjoying her characterization cause she's not a gentle giant but an acerbic wise cracker. I'm very happy with her. So, here she is (the blue celtic paint comes form the Pathfinder version that specifically mentioned the celtic war paint).

Anyway, she's a star druid/cleric of Celestian.

I don't know about 5e version, but previous versions specifically mention that the firbolg while still medium sized (even at their height) could use weapons sized for large creatures. Hence the cutlass as tall as she is.
