Donatello was a bright, active lad, who enjoyed playing outside and pretending to be a hero. Unfortunately, as he grew to be a teenager and was introduced to his extended family, his parents discovered that he was Unbound, set outside the strands of Fate. Fearful for their son's safety at the hands of the witches who controlled Fate (and the men who controlled the witches), they sent him to live with relatives in the Lucani provinces, who were wealthy enough but hardly considered part of the Caligari noble family.<br/><br/>Here, he was raised as Angelina Caligari, the supposed daughter of the head of the household and his favoured courtesan. Donatello was said to have died in a tragic riding accident, removing the threat of an Unbound man from the family. Angelina was considered too unattractive to have any prospects as a courtesan, and in any event, the objective was to keep Donatello away from the noble halls where Fate Witches lurked. Therefore, Angelina was raised to be a ladies' maid, intending to serve the wives of merchants and minor nobles.<br/><br/>When Angelina was twenty and serving a kindly old merchant's wife, she caught the attention of Antonia, the Master Knight of Vodacce's only Chapter house of the Knights of the Rose and Cross. Antonia recognised Angelina's status as Unbound, and saw her potential as a worthy Knight, so arranged for her to serve in the Chapter house, first as a servant, then, once nobody cared about her movements anymore, as an Initiate. Antonia and the knights of her Chapter know that Angelina is a man, but they protect her secret as the Knights always protect each other. She chose the name Renata as her knightly name, but is still happy to go by Angelina for most purposes.<br/><br/>Once her training was complete, Angelina was sent to Montaigne in the company of a wealthy patron of the Knights, to whom she was assigned as both overt maid and covert bodyguard. She remained in Montaigne after this first mission, attaching herself to the much greater presence of the Knights in Montaigne, seeking out adventure and opportunities to defend the innocent. She usually travels in the guise of a maidservant, only acting independently when the situation calls for it.<br/><br/>Appearance:<br/><br/>Angelina is an unremarkable woman in her mid-twenties, slightly taller than most, with grey eyes and dark brown hair. She dresses very conservatively, and almost always wears a veil that blurs her face just a little. She is in very good physical condition, with perhaps more muscle definition than is entirely attractive in a woman. She carries no visible weapons, and appears to be a simple ladies' maid. When undisguised, Donatello is an exceptionally unremarkable man, and one who carries himself with a submissive air that would be deemed "unmanly" in most places.<br/><br/>Equipment:<br/><br/>Rapier (2k2)<br/>Main gauche (1k2)<br/>3 x Throwing Knives (1k1), concealed in her bodice, sash and hair<br/>6 guilders<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Starting cash</div><div class="spoiler_body">Roll Result: HopeFox rolled: 1d10, keeping 1 dice<br/>Comment: <br/>Result: 6, <br/>Total: 6<br/></div></div>
