Name: Raethe Tefira Chala'an ne Halfmoon
Gender: Female
Age: Twenty-five
Race: Castrian (humanoid, related to the elven race; we'll call it "half-elven" for the purposes of this board)
Height: 5'9"
Appearance:Fairly tall, Raethe has a slight, but well-muscled frame. Although she's fair of skin, her hair is thick and raven-black, and it falls well past her shoulders when left loose (although often, when travelling, she will have it done up in a single braid). Like all of her race, her features have a distinctly elven cast, despite the absence of pointed ears (
), and Raethe's high cheekbones, almond-shaped green eyes, and delicate features make her seem a good deal younger than she really is.
Clothing: Because she's travelling more often than not, Raethe wears simple clothes, usually in darker colours; a long-sleeved shirt of fine-spun wool and form-fitting leather pants that are just loose enough to move around in, but not so much so that they would catch easily on anything during a fight. She wears no adornments other than three rings on a leather cord around her neck, which she keeps tucked under her shirt at all times.
Weapons: Raethe's main weapon is the hand-and-a-half sword (a type of bastard sword, for those of you who don't know) which is strapped to her back, and it's rare to see Raethe without the sword. She also has a few daggers secreted about her person, and though these are the only weapons she carries, she has been trained to decent proficiency in the basics of a few others.
Magics: Although well-schooled and fairly well practiced in the area of magic, particularly battle magic, Raethe tends not to use magic overmuch. When she does, her abilities tend more towards sorcery than wizardry (in the theory that I'm going by, there is a difference, but you really don't want me to get into that) although she does know a bit of the latter as well. The elements that she is most proficient in are earth and fire, and again, her usage of these mostly centers around offensive and defensive spells.
History: The eldest of five children, Raethe was the daughter of the king and queen of a powerful nation, and raised as a princess and the heir to the throne. Despite the death of her youngest sister, Cari Elysan, when she was no more than ten, she remained a sheltered, pampered and somewhat naive individual until she reached the age of sixteen. At that point, everything in her life came to an abrupt change as her nation was brutally attacked and eradicated by an alliance of many of the neighboring kingdoms. She, along with her remaining brother and sister, were forced to flee not only the kingdom but the world simply to survive. In the years since, Raethe has worked as everything from a barmaid waiting tables to a mercenary to earn her keep.
Personality: Raethe is a quietly confident individual with a mischevious sense of humor and a sharp tongue. Although almost always friendly, patient, and great for engaging in a casual conversation, she is incredibly closemouthed about anything even remotely personal; she will avoid awkward questions either with a flippant remark to subtly nudge the conversation in a different direction, or by simply not answering, and though she doesn't like doing so, she isn't above lying if she must. She doesn't trust easily, but once her trust is won she is a stoutly loyal friend.
