Few have seen her in 'casual' clothing, not even the Prince, as she is on the job nigh on 24/7.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">The Story</span></strong><br/><strong>Likes:</strong>Her bay charger named Bad Horse, a strong drink next to a warm fire, a good battle.<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>Weakness of any kind, arrogance, blind stupidity. Loud mouths.<br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Zalania, rarely speaks. Her only call in life is to protect the Prince, and she does this job with every fiber of her being. She seems cold and without humor, but if any are able to breach her defenses, they would find her actually warm within, a good listener, and one able to give good advice. She wants to find love, wants to find a man that would woo her out of love, not for the fact that she is a beautiful woman, but find most men crass and too full of themselves.(The Prince is the only one who has managed to get to the inner woman somewhat, as she is his shadow, and they are together more often then not.)<br/><strong>Habits:</strong>Talking to her horse like he's human. Reminding the Prince that he's not immortal.<br/><strong>Skills:</strong>Blade mastery, both double edge sword and knives. She is a Master swordsman, and is able to use the spring loaded knives she has in her wrist sheathes with deadly accuracy. She is fast, ambidextrous, and tends to wield her blades in a deadly dance, one that has any who has witnessed her in battle awed with her technique.<br/><strong>History:</strong>Born the daughter of a prominent royal guard, though a commoner this gave her a bit more privilege in life then many other peasants. Her father adored her, and with her mother dying at an early age, and he never re-marrying as he loved his wife that much, he raised her as only a man in the Guard could. She was raised knowing about fighting, and it soon became evident that swords and knives were her speciality. She has been in two short relationships, both failing as most men would rather have their women subservient and silent, a mother and housekeeper. SO not her forte.<br/><br/>As soon as she heard the Prince was seeking people to join his ranks of Bloody Ravens, she was the first to show, and she was his first pick. It wasn't long before he saw her for her capabilities, made her his personal bodyguard, and Knighted her, making her Dame.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Stats</strong></span></span><br/><strong>Sword fighting:</strong>4/10<br/><strong>Archery:</strong>3/10<br/><strong>Heavy Weapons:</strong>0/10<br/><strong>Exotic Weapons:</strong>1/10<br/><strong>Dagger/ Knife:</strong>7/10<br/><strong>Strength:</strong>4/10<br/><strong>Endurance:</strong>5/10<br/><strong>Speed:</strong>5/10<br/><strong>Acrobatics:</strong>3/10<br/><strong>Stealth:</strong>3/10<br/><strong>Grace:</strong>2/10<br/><strong>Horsemanship:</strong>4/10
