CH. I – Painting a Portrait
Wild hair covers the head of this brave knight.  She's forgone the popular long length for a practical cut, and while it's sloppy (often from being done by her own hand) it gets the job done. Her eyes are narrow and small, and lips thin. Her nose is a little large for her face, but she has more important things to worry about than her appearance.

She has the body of a knight, strong for her appearance, with a square jaw that seems quite unfeminine.  There is very little concern in her gaze as to the opinions of others, but there is a powerful beauty about her, even if it is hard to find.

+ NOTABLE MARKS +
Adrienn has her fair share of scars and bruises accrued from her training.  Among them is a half-severed pinky on her left hand.  A strange birth mark appears on the right side of her torso that looks like a burn, spread from beneath her armpit, her shoulder blade, and just beneath her right breast.

CH II – Mental Make-up
A woman of few words, Adrienn knows how to listen better than she does to hear the sound of her own voice.  Her intellect is made presence in the sting of sharps words, but action has always been more potent in her mind. She's stern and practical and has little in the way of humor. She can't find it in herself to suffer fools lightly, and will demonstrate her independence to any whom she feels simply weigh her down.

+ FAITH +
She's practical in her faith in Kia. She prays for luck, health, wellness, and survival in battle, but doesn't lean on religion as a crutch. It won't solve all of your problems, if you're not willing to do anything to help yourself.

+ HABITS +
Pragmatic to a fault, and with little interest in alcohol or herbal addictives.

CH III – Social

+ RELATIONSHIPS +
She has her colleagues, fellow knights, but few friends.  And many enemies.

CH IV – Abilities / Skills
+ KNIGHT +
Being a knight is really all that gives purpose to Adrienn's life. She's knows little in the way of anything else. Being taken in as a squire allowed her to be educated, conditioned, and trained. She strove to be stronger, better, faster than others.  She didn't have the parentage that would have paid for it otherwise. She's dutiful to her status, and well-trained. She is most proficient with sword and shield fighting, although she may also use a longsword and dagger, as well as a spear.

While she is Serenian by birth, she finds she does not share the same aversion to iron. She also possesses a strange magic that seems to manifest only subconsciously or when under duress.  Among them are the ability to reverse death if it has happened swiftly, or project her spiritual energy to push against, or negate the energy or others. Magic has little effect on her as a result of this.  She has no real control over her abilities, nor does she fully understand them.

CH V – Gear / Equipment
+ RISE +
A long sword given to her by the widow of the knight she served under.  It's a well-crafted blade of steel, with a wrapped, hilt, worn etched blade, and a fishtail pommel.

CH VI – Reflections of the Past
An orphan given to a small chapel in Reichsgard, Darken Vei, Adrienn grew up knowing she was different. She was raised a young kit in the church of Kia for many years until she was nine years old. The children in the orphanage were often separated from her, thinking her strange and dangerous.  She revived a bird from death once, not with any healing magic they'd ever seen, reasserting the poor creature's broken neck anew.

The nuns that ran the orphanage were eager to be rid of the strange child, and when she was 9, she was adopted by a knight and his wife. At first, not much was expected of her, for they were kind, but not doting.

Sir Edcar, as she had come to call him, saw potential in her when she managed to best his young son Oscar in a fight over who would clean the stables. She was made a squire, along with Oscar, although not much was expected of her. She was trained primarily to be Oscar's squire upon his knighting, but after years of cultivation, she was determined prove herself in her own right.

Oscar had never saw her as a sibling, just an outsider that had weaved her way into his family, but with time, grew his respect, and admiration. Their bonding grew both in competition, and in battle when Adrienn pulled Oscar from death when their village was attacked by a band of mercenaries. He was wounded severely in his side from a crossbow bolt. Though she saved him the fight, his wounds soon took him, and he died.

Sir Edcar was broken then, trying to piece himself together for his family. When he saw Adrienn's selflessness, he knew he loved her as his own, despite the gruff treatment he'd dealt her in youth. He knighted her and gave her his sword when he passed in the years that followed.

Adrienn didn't stay in Darken Vei for much longer, leaving behind the place she'd called home for years. Except it was only in name, and there was nothing left to keep her there.
