[hider=The past][img]http://i742.photobucket.com/albums/xx61/xGabrielxArt/Knight%20and%20bodyguard/Knight_zps030c5165.jpg[/img] Once captain of the guard she wore the finest arms and armor that the kingdom could afford... Those days are long past. [/hider][/hider] [u][b]Name:[/b][/u] [indent] Alexandra ??? [/indent] [u][b]Age:[/b][/u] [indent] 58 [/indent] [u][b]Race:[/b][/u] [indent] Human - Lycanthrope [/indent] [u][b]Appearance:[/b][/u] [indent] Long locks of wild ash blond hair flow down to the middle of Alex's back, her bangs barely cover her deep crimson eyes that seem to hold great wisdom and at the same time great loss. Standing at 5'6" she is far from the most impressive looking fighter with her rather feminine features, however on closer inspection one would see that she is rather toned and not one piece of her body was wasted on anything else other than training for combat. Combined with her sharp red eyes and natural threatening demeanor she can be rather intimidating when she needs to be, but often covers up as much as possible with the use of simple travelers clothes in black and brown, the only things standing out being the royal crest on the sword scabbard by her side. [/indent] [u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] [indent]Alex has become very laid back in her 'old age' taking things as they come with a dry wit, maintaining many subtle mannerisms of her past station and animal like nature, such as being rather accepting of certain people with a kindly aura about them, being able to judge people at just a glance. Within combat she will show herself to be a no-nonsense warrior who carries herself with grace and dignity. However, she has deep seeded regret, blaming herself for being unable to stop it all that happened in the past despite how big the event was. [/indent] [u][b]Morality / Religion:[/b][/u] [indent]She despises the gods, blaming them even more so than herself for what transpired, tho she considers those that still hold faith fools she wont openly state such. Once she wanted to be a hero, someone of noble intentions and strong will and though she did not consider herself as such she still maintained a code of never killing a surrendered enemy herself, or putting her blade to a unarmed enemy, no matter who or what.[/indent] [u][b]Biography:[/b][/u][indent]A baby left on the stairs of the castle, a common sight to say the least; the poor always hoped that they would bring up the child instead of sending it to the poor house, but it was never too be... Until a single rainy night when the servants of the castle brought in a baby from the rain, a ashen blonde baby wrapped in the finest of weaved cotton. However what gave them pause was the babies pure blood red eyes, a sight that made them call the master of the house. It was the uniqueness of the baby that saved it as it was brought into the house to be raised alongside Prince Elrin. When the boy grew into both king and man, so did the girl come to be a women and known throughout the land as the royal guard captain to King Elrin himself, a place of respect and power. How she became the kings right hand was never truly known to the public, neither were her unique powers, but her loyalty to him was unmistakable. She remained by his side, even during the Decent of the world, she was willing to face gods and worse to keep him safe but... Now she comes to this city, looking for answers and maybe a new start, and maybe even a little bit of hope?
