==Biography==
===Early Life===
Kisandra was born in 1571 in Greece. She was raised alongside her older brother, Kristos, and her younger sister, Kilina. Her parents Kaarina and Erríkos raised all three children, with her father being a skilled fighter, having close connections to the Kingdom of Grandall. When The Evil Seed was released in 1583, Kisandra's father was recruited by Grandall to fight against the horde of malfested plaguing the kingdom. Sadly, her father died in battle and the family were left with nothing. This left Kisandra feeling guilty for not taking her fathers offer on learning how to fight like her older brother did, feeling like she somehow could have helped her father protect the family. Soon after, when the malfested were mostly gone from the kingdom, the King moved the entire Cassaventes family to Grandall to repay them for Erríkos' service, under the condition that all the Cassaventes children would learn to fight and join the Grandall army in the future. Although she was weary at first, Kisandra knew that if she wanted to protect her family and rid herself of the guilt she feels, she had no choice but to learn how to fight for those she loves.
Kisandra immediately started sparring with a young girl named Abelia, much to the dismay of her younger sister, Kilina, who was desperate to get her hands on a weapon. Abelia was only 14 at the time, and although she was so young she was very skilled in battle and began teaching Kisasndra proper form. Kisandra was weary when sparring with Abelia, as she took it very seriously, however she had a soft spot for Kisandra and recognised her weariness. She would go gentle on her, trying to help build her confidence in the process. Kisandra and Abelia quickly became close friends, the closer they got, the more Kisandra's confidence would build and she eventually became quite proficient with a sword & shield, just like her father was. Although, she still hated the thought of fighting and the possibility of having to kill someone in the future, she knew she needed to do this if she wanted to protect her family. Not long after Kisandra turned 16, her older brother, Kristos, left Grandall, with permission from the King, to join the Aval Organization to help fight against malfested. With her brother now gone, Kisandra felt the full responsibility to protect her family and threw herself into training. Lucky for her, Abelia had recently been upped in the ranks of the Grandall Empire and became the trainer for new recruits. Kisandra trained hard with Abelia almost everyday, almost surpassing her skill. 
At the age of 18, Kisandra had slowed down on her training as she felt she knew all there was to know and knew soon she would officially be recruited into the ranks of the Grandall army. Not knowing how much free time she would have left, Kisandra spent most of her time outside of the castle exploring. One night, Kisandra noticed a young man sitting by a river, who seemed to be in deep distress. Kisandra approached him, introducing herself. The man ignored her at first, simply asking her to leave him alone. Kisandra sat next to him and looked into his eyes, recognising the pain behind them. "I know that look. You have guilt in your soul, don't you?" Kisandra asked. The mans eyes widened slightly, he sighed and muttered "Yes". Kisandra put her hand on top of his in an attempt to reassure him it would be okay. The man looked at her in slight shock before telling her his name, Siegfried. The pair chatted for hours, each explaining to each other their woes and why they feel guilt. The pair began meeting up every other night, getting to know each other more. Eventually, Siegfried would tell Kisandra the truth about who he was, the Azure Knight. This didn't scare Kisandra however, in fact, she pitied him and wanted to help him atone for his sins. That night, the pair grew even closer and spent the night together. The pair would continue to regularly meet up after that night, however, Kisandra noticed how Siegfried was becoming more and more distressed, as if he was falling back into madness. Kisandra eventually revealed to Siegfried that she was with child, and although he was happy, he was worried about bringing a child into this world and having himself, a self referred monster, as its father.
Kisandra eventually told her mother that she was pregnant and her mother was overjoyed to be getting a grandchild. She questioned Kisandra about the father but she was evasive, not wanting to reveal him out of fear of being judged or people thinking her child would be impure. One night, there was an attack on the castle by a mysterious silver haired assailant, and Kisandra's mother was seemingly killed as she was never seen again after that night. This caused Kisandra to feel even more guilt as she felt even after so much training, she was still unable to protect her family and she began to fear for the safety of her unborn child. Now heavily pregnant and almost ready to give birth, Kisandra knew she could not train anymore, and with whispers of an attack on Grandall from the Kingdom of Dalika, Kisandra knew she had to get away in order to keep her child safe. So, Kisandra began planning her escape from Grandall, knowing if she were to ever return or be found, she would be killed for desertion.
