The next is the stark contrast it holds with the fariness of her skin and the vibrant blue of her eyes. Her features are soft and feminine, though her face tends to hold a stern look, though she is known to relax in her down time.<br/><br/>The rest of her can be hard to discern given her tendancy to be wearing fairly obscuring armor. If someone was to see her without her armor, they would see she most certainy has the body of a warrior. She still retains the curves of a woman, particularly on her chest; but the rest of her body is toned and fit. They don't bulge from her form, but its clear she has well-trained muscles.<br/><br/><strong>Bio:</strong>Adelise was born the bastard child of the Garess family, of course, she didn't learn of this for many years. It was a dark shameful secret never spoken of, and she was given away to be raised by some of the serving staff. She grew up a restless child, and got in a lot of trouble. When simply never seemed suited to the life given to her. When she was finally old enough, her adoptive father was growing ill, his wife having passed years ago, he decided in his last days to confide to Adelise, the truth of who she was. She didn't know how to react, but she felt others needed to know this, and she went out and demanded recognition of her bloodline, but all she recieved was scorn and laughter. Eventually, when she was but fifteen, she fled her home and vowed to train hard and become a great hero, so she could rub all their faces in her newfound glory.<br/><br/>What she found instead was purpose and honor. She saw the suffering and plight of the weak and helpless, saw how hard their lives were, and how little was done to help them. She was surprised by how much more desperate many of their lives were than even the meager life she had known. She vowed to do all she could to change that. She sought out the Order of the Shield and became a Cavalier. She traveled far and trained in the sword and shield as well as mounted combat. She found her chosen mount by chance one day. A stable she visited had troubles with a horse bred to pull carriages, a strong, sturdy horse. It simply was not content to be bridled up and push some cart along, and it lashed out. Adelise understood the horse's plight. She managed to calm the creature, and asked the owner of the stable if she could buy the horse. She lacked the money, but he relented, reasoning the horse was pretty much useless if it couldn't do its job. Over time, the two have formed a strong bond, and Adelise named her new steed, "Memento".<br/><br/>When the call was made to reclaim the Stolen Lands, to establish a new kingdom, she couldn't resist. She saddled up Memento and made way to meet with her companions in this endeavor.<br/><br/><strong>Persona:</strong>Adelise is a woman with a strong moral center. She does all in her power to prevent harm from befalling the helpless and the innocent. She has taken it upon herself to protect the weak, and she holds strongly to that vow. She is not on to tolerate cruelty or injustice, and acts swiftly and harsly against such intent. Still, she is not completely a stick in the mud. She has dedicated much of her life to her knightly vows, so she has not been able to go out and have fun much since she took up her quest. That said, she does enjoy having it, when she can. When stopping at a tavern she is quick to point out that she has taken no vows against drinking, though she usually tries to avoid getting TOO drunk if they have something they need to do the next morning.<br/><br/>She seems to be wise beyond her years. She is tempered and calm, even in the face of danger, and it takes more to frighten her than the average person. She stands firm in her resolves and charges into whatever danger may stand between her and her purpose. And yet, that isn't all she is. She is still a woman, with desires and fears and regrets and hopes, but she pushes that back, a distraction she doesn't need in the heat of the moment.
