Name: Salene Eridana
Date Of Birth and/or Age: 25 years old
Appearance: Salene is somewhat short in stature, standing about 5'2", and sturdily built. She has very dark brown eyes and blonde hair, which she typically keeps pulled back with a ribbon so it doesn't interfere with her vision in battle. She is typically found dressed in clothing that is practical for whatever situation she is in, perhaps light armor but usually nothing more than chail mail. Strapped to her body are various weapons, mostly small in size. Among them are a few throwing knives and daggers kept on a belt, a satchel full of blow darts and a hollow reed, and a gladius kept in a sheath attached to her left leg.
Family:
Father- Takken Eridana
Mother- Elani Eridana
Brother- Trok Eridana, deceased at 28
Personality: Salene has a very serious personality to most people, especially when she first meets them. She might occasionally lose this air around people she is close with, or when she finds herself in a situation in which it is appropriate (which is rare). She is quite stubborn and set in her ways, and sometimes likes to show off.
Likes: Battle, honor, throwing knifes and any longer distance weapon other than bow and arrow that requires aim. She's also adept at close range sword fighting with a gladius, a short, wide sword perfect for someone of her build. She also enjoys tinkering and attempting to discover new technology (though she normally fails), and fiddling with the properties of various plants, whether as medicine or poison. She enjoys any food available, with a very un-feminine appetite.
Dislikes: Dishonorable or despicable behavior, disrespect, irrational behavior, whiny people, and not being taken seriously.
History: A daughter of a warrior (Takken) and a Mercenary (Elani), Salene was born into fighting. She spent most of her early childhood playing with wooden training swords like most girls would play with dolls. Her older brother was a very talented swordsman, and his constant practicing and obsession made a massive impact on Salene's decision to continue with the family profession.
So, from early childhood, Salene was honed into an extremely talented warrior, excelling in sword-play as well as the use of throwing knives and darts. As well, she was very intelligent, and educated herself in military strategy, as well as the history of Adunasir.
When she was 18, her older brother was killed in a skirmish between two men at a tavern. He was stabbed in the side while trying to intervene, and died the next day when the infection and bloodloss became too much for the human form to survive. The circumstance of his death inspired Salene to follow a very strict personal honor code.
Other information: Salene is an extremely dangerous fighter, and is not someone to not take seriously on the basis of her size or gender. She tends to travel from place to place as opposed to settling down.
