RE POST 6 FEMALE CHARACTERS BELOW are character OC bios accompanied by general background information that can be used towards a plotidea. It is important to note that these characters are FICTIONAL. Although characters are inspired by true history and folklore, I have taken many creative liberties. CLICK SPOILER LINK BELOW FOR BIOS See more Sun Slayer Name Sunniva Nick Name Sun, Sun Slayer Age 22-28 Status Dame, Knighthood Religion Christianity Short Bio Dame is an honorific title and the feminine form of address for the honor of knighthood in the British honors system and the systems of several other Commonwealth countries. The Order of the Ermine, founded by John V, Duke of Brittany in 1381, was the first order of chivalry to accept women however, female knights existed for centuries in many places in the world prior to this. Like their male counterparts, they were distinguished by the flying of colored banners and generally bore a coat of arms. Additionally, women adopted certain forms of regalia which became closely associated with the status of knighthood. Unlike the male knights, it was virtually unimaginable to see women taking part in medieval battles or commanding battalions of soldiers, but there are exceptions, Joan of Arc being the most famous. Some wore armor, others commanded troops, and some were members of an official order of chivalry. Sunniva is a titled Dame as part of the Knighthood of Britain. She is a descendant of the Norse people and has been described as inheriting the strong spirit of a Viking. Against backlash and surprise, she indeed does wear the coat of arms, including full knight armor and weaponry. She is most famous for fighting first-hand in battles and wars, giving her the nickname Sun Slayer by her respecting troops. Although a skilled combatant and soldier, her expertise and warfare talents are constantly undermined by male Knights and other citizens who do not believe she should be fighting nor in armor. Despite adversities, she has risen to high social status through her impeccable reputation on the battlefield and her quick wit. She does not hold her tongue, and is a vocal lady when it comes to expressing her opinion. Black Dahlia Name Dahlia Nick Name Black, Black Dahlia Age 19-23 Status Blacksmith, Bladesmith, Swordsmith Religion Christianity Short Bio Dahlia is one of the only known blacksmiths in all of Europe, having inherited her father's successful business when he became ill and passed. She was one of three children, the one daughter. However, her two brothers twins, and her mother all died from the Black Death plague. Only her and her father survived, forcing him to train Dahlia in the ways of forging in order to keep the business running after the death of his sons. She had a natural talent and soon became better at forging than he was. From that point on, he encouraged her and supported her passion to forge. Despite forging being an incredibly physical and masculine task, Dahlia ignored all social criticism and became known as one of the best swordsmiths in the entire country. The Gypsy Name Fifika Nick Name Fifi fee-fee Age 16-19 Status Outcast, Gypsy Religion Romani religion Mostly Hindu Short Bio Although Gypsy is a derogatory word in modern-day society, it was a commonly used term to refer to a band of nomadic travelers - the Romani people - who originated from North Indian and dispersed to Europe and later the Americas. The term Gypsy is coined from the word Egyptian as they were mistaken for having originated from Egypt Africa. They are a group of people who faced heavy slavery and racism throughout Europe and pretty much everywhere they went. They faced horrible discrimination and accusations of witchcraft throughout most of their history throughout Europe. Their race was often banned from countries, such as in 1530 in England, after the Egyptian Act 1530 was put in place. The Act accused Gypsies of using crafty and subtle devices to deceive people, notably by claiming to tell fortunes whilst also frequently committing felonies such as robbery. The statute forbade any more Gypsies from entering the realm and gave those already in England sixteen days' notice to depart from the realm. Goods which Gypsies had stolen were to be restored to their owners and property confiscated from Gypsies was to be divided between the Sovereign and the Justice of the Peace or another arresting officer. The 1530 act was not successful in its aim of expelling all Gypsies, for Mary I passed the Egyptians Act 1554, which complained that Egyptians were plying their devlish and naughty practices and devices. - Wikipedia. Fifika is a Roma Romani gypsy who lives in a society of outcasts. Her gypsy community has travelled Europe in their caravans and wagons, marked with the distinct Romani flag. Although proud of their faith and culture, they faced much discrimination and abuse at the hands of locals. In order to survive with such an unwanted status, they resorted to less than favourable means of salary, such as hard labour, fortune-telling, street performances, and theft. Despite efforts to cleanse the gypsy community, Fifika and her family have stayed strong and true to their roots. Additionally, Fifika is a talented dancer and singer and performs for loose coins. Syrena the Serpent Name Syrena Nick Name Sy, The Serpent, Syrpent Age 25-30 Status Outlaw, Pirate, Thief Religion Atheism, Piracy Short Bio Delicate Flower Name Fiorella Nick Name Fio, Ella Age 16-21 Status Princess Religion Roman Catholicism Short Bio Fiorella is a Princess. Female Robin Hood Name Unknown Nick Name Robin Age 20-25 Status Terrorist, Assassin, Mercenary Religion Atheist Anti-Religion Short Bio Robin Hood is a heroic outlaw in English folklore who, according to legend, was a highly skilled archer and swordsman. Traditionally depicted as being dressed in Lincoln green, he is often portrayed as robbing from the rich and giving to the poor alongside his band of Merry Men. Robin Hood became a popular folk figure in the late-medieval period, and continues to be widely represented in literature, films and television. - Wikipedia Robin Hood is an infamous thief known most for his code of stealing from the rich in order to givefeed the poor. Originally, his character is indeed a male archerthief, although I'd like to gender-switch this so that my character is FEMALE. If, however, you're interested in playing Robin Hood, and you'd like to pair up your character with a female character similar to his, I am also willing to play a Robin Hood impostor. Perhaps my character, a female thief, hears the many tales and stories of the infamous Robin Hood, and decides to dress up as him for whatever reason, could be for profit, for respect, to frame him for something, etc.. Your character, the REAL Robin Hood, would hear of an impostor and track her down. Bonus It'd be even better if he thought the impostor was a male, and would be surprised to see the skilled impostor is actually a woman. The Nightcrawler Name Fara Nick Name Nightcrawler Age 19-25 Status Terrorist, Anarchist Religion Atheist Anti-Religion Short Bio The Nightcrawler is a social-political terrorist who is against the state. This infamous anarchist dresses similarly to a Knight, and is known for riding an all-black stallion. Additional to this, heshe's identity is unknown. Because of this, the terrorist is presumed male, therefore everyone refers to the Nightcrawler as he or simply by his title. In reality, the Nightcrawler is a female noblewoman who started a militia against the King and his empire. Although small, her militia was powerful in their tactics - using small acts of terrorism as a weapon against the King and his army. Her masked-militia became widely known as The Antichrists, as they used local displays of terrorism to place fear in the public, and often used sacrilegious, blasphemous, and unholy acts to deface God and Christianity as a whole. Because they littered the streets with anti-God blood-smeared messages, they were banished from the lands, and a high-value reward was set for all of their heads. Despite efforts to stop The Antichrists, their latest attack lead the city and public to lose faith in their King, causing the beginning of a revolt. The Antichrists are most well known for a quote made famous by their leader Believe in no God, only simply in the madness of man. These words and similar anti-religion quotes are graffiti-ed across the towns. Primarily those closest to the King. The Nightcrawler can be paired with anything, though I can see her being paired the best against someone trying to stop her or someone hired to stop her. If you're interested in playing a sort of anti-hero character, I have designed a character known as The Dark Knight. The King becomes desperate to find the leader and core of the Antichrist rebellion, and hires a gentlemen known as The Dark Knight - a Knight fallen from honor turned dirty for hire. But also infamously known as the best bounty hunter andor assassin in the country. His true identity is not known, as he is always masked when on the job to assure his identity is protected. TBD Name TBD Age 18-21 Status TBD Religion TBD Short Bio Once An Eagle Huntress Name Aruzhan Nick Name NA Age 20-25 Status Eagle Hunter's Daughter, Slave Religion Islam Muslim Short Bio Throughout the 15th-18th centuries, the Republic of Kazakhstan was ruled the Kazakh Khanate. The state and its citizens were Muslim, having converted in the 8th century at the hands of the Islamic conquest. Aruzhan is the daughter of a famous Kazakh eagle hunter as part of a traditionally nomadic tribe. As his only daughter and favorite child, Aruzhan's father brought her along on many eagle hunts in the snowy steppes. Despite the eagle-hunting being traditionally only pursued by men, Aruzhan's loving father submitted to her constant requests to learn the trade. In essence, he taught her all of his ways and the ways of their people, inspiring a deep passion in Aruzhan to become not only the first female eagle huntress in her community, but one of the best her community had ever seen. Although she had training and talent, Aruzhan's dreams were soon destroyed as Russian influences and conflict began sweeping across her nation. Despite their efforts to flee, her family was captured, and Aruzhan enslaved. She is marketed as an exotic beauty to Mediterranean and English slavers, eventually landing her in Europe. Golden Eagle of Europe Name Q'orianka Nick Name Golden Eagle Age 17-20 Status Chieftain's Daughter Religion Native American beliefs, Christianity Short Bio If you prefer this model , we can also use her. Q'orianka, meaning Golden Eagle, is a Native American princess who agreed to embark on a journey to Europe in an effort to assimilate to European culture and the Christian religion. The point of the mission was for her to gain knowledge on this new world, and to possibly bring back resources and power to her native lands.
