Thread: Viper's Character Journal

The Knight Name Sandra Ross Age 26 Gender Female Occupation Knight Orientation Homosexual Appearance Standing at a solid 5'8, Sandra is very easy to spot in a crowd. Her silver hair falls down to the middle of her back, She usually keeps it in a braid, but when she allows it to fall freely she is given a silver mane. Presently only one of her eyes may be seen, due to an injury sustained in battle, Her eyes are the clearest blue that one could find. Her skin is not without flaws, as she had numerous scars from battles, including one that is forming over her eye. Her torso is covered by a blue tinted steel platemail, Around her neck and shoulders runs a trail of wolf's fur. The gantlets of her armor do not connect with the body to allow her to keep her full range of motion. They were made in a staggered overlapping fashion to provide just that much more protection for her hands and arms. Moving down, around Sandra's waist is an armored belt that holds up several pieces of cloth to protect her modesty, hanging from the right side is even more wolf's fur. The greaves are made of steel and are not connected to the rest of the armor to continue allowing the range of motion. Despite her thin frame, Sandra is capable of delivering truly shocking blows to foes that underestimate her. With her training has also come a great deal of flexibility, allowing her to dodge blows that would otherwise be impossible. Armaments Twin Spears- Sandra's weapon of choice. Her spears have been with her since she left her grandparent's village. With each battle and reforging they have become a part of her. While they are no longer the basic spears that she had begun her journey with, they are no less fatal as they are distracting. Personality Sandra is usually calm and collected. When she meets someone for the first time, she is usually very polite until she learns of the person's true self, in which she will either consider the person to be an enemy or ally depending of what is revealed. In battle, Sandra will not give up until she is completely exhausted. Her trust is not something that is earned easily and once it is lost, it is nearly impossible to regain. But when it comes to protecting someone, Sandra will put her body on the line, regardless of how unimportant the person may be. History Born to a noble family, Sandra eventually dreamed of living and fighting as a knight, but not if her parents had anything to say about it . At the age of 10, Sandra was going to be married to the first noble family that met all of their request, When she found out Sandra fought to escape her family and make a name for herself. Leaving her hometown, Sandra made her way to her grandparents who took her in. Her grandfather had been a knight and could see the determination and the heart behind her. She stood for everything that a Knight should, at least that is what her grandfather saw. When her 11th birthday rolled around, Sandra had already started her on her path to knighthood. Everyone in her grandparent's village assisted her, through any means wither it included making training weapons and armor or helping her with the scholarly side of knighthood. Her abilities soon grew to surpass her grandfather's and even her father's. By the time she was 18, Sandra had become a knight for the village and during the celebration the villagers presented her with a set of twin spears and her very own armor. But the celebrations didn't last long as a band of knights rode into the village seeking her grandfather. They tried to persuade him to return to the king's service, but due to his age, he could not endure the travels anymore and gave his granddaughter the greatest recommendation that could be given. When they saw that the old knight was not joking, they gave in and took Sandra with them. It was the beginning of her story and of her nightmare. Over the course of 6 years, Sandra had started to fight in countless battles and made a name for herself. But she also noted the way her fellow knights held themselves when no one was watching. She also noticed this with the soldiers of the army as well, so instead of remaining with them, Sandra left the service of the king and now travels the land protecting those who need to be protected and punishing the evil.
