Hi, uh, sorry it took me this long to get back.

Um... avoiding that previous shitstorm, I was wondering if it would be possible for mercenary lady to join the order not as a full knight, but as a retainer of sorts to another knight? Part of a personal entourage, perhaps? Knightly orders historically wouldn't have been 100% full knights, there's a lot of support network required and such - and that's where she would come in. Instead of charging valiantly into battle to slay great foes, she's simply part of the personal guard of one of the knights of the order or somesuch - or simply a woman-at-arms kept around as extra muscle? Or, alternatively, would it perhaps be possible for her to be a "squire" or somesuch to a full knight, however reluctantly?

I can't think of how she would've earned knighthood, unfortunately, but it might be interesting to show the interactions between someone from the lower social order with those of the full knighthood?

Dunno really, but if you have any suggestions or feedback on the idea I'd be glad to listen!
