Crécerelle D'Arceline

Lady D'Arceline, called the Red Kestral of Gallia because of her hair and coat of arms, is the daughter of a Gallian Baron. During the War of the Ninety-Nine Kings, her father and her three brothers were killed in battle, leaving her the sole inheritor of her father's estate. Nevertheless, she rallied her father's men and broke the siege of her home, and in doing so restored the line of supply to King Louis' army, which was itself besieging the crucial fortress of Ardeux.
After the war, which her side won, D'Arceline was quite famous, and a marriage was arranged to the son of a Duke, to capitalize on her fierce reputation. D'Arceline, however, had no immediate desire to give up her sword, and so announced that prior to her marriage, she would go on a pilgrimage to holy sites.
There are well in excess of four thousand holy sites in Vosca. D'Arceline has been moving between them and finding distractions (mostly martial) ever since. Her home fief misses her, and a political struggle has begun to form in her absence, but she cannot give up the adventuring life yet.
Her sword is an estoc.
