She is a symbol of Kaien strength, as all paladins are seen as legends to the people of their great nation, she embodies this well as she displays silent and noble elegance through her actions and decisions on a daily basis. She is a hardened girl, like most paladins she has trained from her childhood onward and was sent to the battlefield the moment her superiors her and her partner were ready. On a good day, Vera could be seen with a blank expression that shows neither anger nor happiness. On these days, she'll often patrol lower-class city streets as peacekeeping is a hobby she has taken a liking to. And when she's not placing drunken thugs in their place, or scolding children, Vera can be found near her partner's side, making sure he doesn't get into trouble. On a bad day, Vera's face shows is only distinguishable by a small pout. When in combat, Vera takes a slow pace about everything, being extremely defensive and rarely being the one to go take the first initiative in battle. Though, in retrospect she is extremely protective of her comrades regardless of their name or status. Her paladin title "The Handmaiden" was earned due to her loyalty to the people, her tendency to do what she is asked, and even her strong bond with the local children of Kaien.[/i] ---- [u]Combat Details[/u] [b]Equipment:[/b] [i]Enyo, is the Aureolin family sword passed down from leader-to-leader until it finally landed in the hands of Vera. It holds three magical traits which embody; strife, dread, and fear. The blade is of hardened mithril and is used as the medium for Vera to cast her spells, it is always sheathed at her side and is known to be dear to her as a gift from her father.[/i] [b]Spells:[/b] [i]Unyielding Phalanx is Vera's signature defensive spell, by expelling hardened mana from her body she can create a mobile barrier with a two-foot radius around herself. This barrier's small range is not to be underestimated, the shield is dense enough to take on large amounts of damage from various sources. The downside to this ability is it's strenuous use of mana, and increasing drain of the caster's stamina and can cause Vera to pass out from exhaustion if it is used for more than a minute. Symbol of Sacrifice is a blessing spell that places a rune on a particular person, for the duration of the rune's effect said person's damage will be transferred to Vera rather than the target. She will continue to take this person's wounds upon herself until they are nearly fatal, once it reaches this point the rune will expel itself and the effects will cease to take place. In addition to these notable spells, Vera is equipped with a wide array of healing magic.[/i] [b]Physical Techniques[/b] [i][u]Executionary Accolade[/u] is the style of combat Vera has become most proficient at, it involves keeping a solid defensive state for an extended period of time so that the user may take the time to discover the enemy's weakness. However long this may take, Vera will continue to make no effort to attack until this has been discovered. Once this weakness has been found, she will do everything in her power to finish the battle with a single blow. [u]Mana-Reinforced Swordsmanship[/u], Vera's skill with a sword is incredible to say the least, in addition to this mana is forced into her arms and the blade itself to further strengthen the force of her sword and the speed she is able to strike with it. While this is common for Paladins, Vera's ability to utilize it is what makes her so unique.[/i] ---- [b]Strengths[/b] [i]† Strong body despite her looks, she's hard to kill. † † Strong willed, Vera has never surrendered in battle.
