<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Ryoko, Catgirl Cleric (http://plothook.net/RPG/profiler/view.php?id=8658)</span><br/><br/>(http://img4.gelbooru.com//images/446/1b031aacb7c9c352cb874c39d2bf273428d54f1b.jpg?570287)<br/><br/>Ryoko's father in the feline lands was a rather rich noble, who held influence over several of the nearby cities.  Most of the time, he was seen as a kind and just ruler, who always upheld the law.  Ryoko looked up to him, following in his footsteps as a battle-cleric of Valkyrie.<br/><br/>Her thoughts of him changed one day, however, when a friend of theirs, Petren, ran into some trouble with the law.  He had seen a guard grab a female commoner off the street, pulling her into an abandoned building.  The guard was about to rape the poor girl, but Petren stepped in to save her.  The guard was accidentally killed in the struggle however, and the law was perfectly clear that killing a guard meant the death penalty.  Ryoko knew that her father thought that killing him was the wrong choice, but he was a slave to his own laws.<br/><br/>Since then, she's been distanced from her father, practicing her abilities as a cleric in the temple.  Three years later, a group of insurgents broke into the family manor and killed her father.  The local lords almost immediately began fighting over who should succeed him, and Ryoko was lucky to escape with her life.  She traveled to Praven in search of those that could help her reclaim her home.<br/><br/>As she worked in the city however, she started to feel less and less sorrow about her home.  It occurred to her that she really didn't care what happened to the nobles.  Let them fight over lands and titles, she had enough of it.  She still carried around the greataxe that had been in the family for generations, far too large for any but the most skilled fighters to wield, but beyond that she never looked back.<br/><br/>It had been two years since she left home, and a year since joining this mercenary group.  Despite her hardship, things were starting to look up.
