Geori Dandemire

== Appearance and Character ==
Unlike her brother, Geori is petite and lithe, something that makes her look more inoffensive than she really is. Her light hair, blonde of color, is usually falling past her shoulders (although she ties it up in a ponytail sometimes, mostly for practicality), and although her hazel eyes are not very expressive she usually makes up for it with a wide, welcoming smile.
She is a woman of action and emotion. She hardly ever stays still for long, and usually only does so when the Golden Queen stays still due to always being at her side. Due to her light hearted and positive nature outside of battle she has made many friends in her journeys, and whenever something annoys her she will always let the offender know rather than hold a grudge in silence.
Geori was born in 1,327 A.C, shortly after the beginning of the War of Three Dragons. Hearing from her brother Patrack how great it had been to be outside the palace in his childhood she took every chance she had to be outdoors, on foot at first and on horseback whenever she learned to ride. Not wanting to let her be outside alone but not wanting to let her know she was under guard, her father convinced two huntresses to become her handmaidens and to keep an eye on her. One of the two huntresses eventually left after an affair with her brother, but the other stayed with Geori and told her everything she knows about fighting bowmanship and swordplay.
Eager to have more friends with similar interests, Geori asked her tutor to also teach her handmaidens to hunt. A few of them tried, but in the end only four of them liked it enough to stay with her and accompany her on her journeys. They call themselves the 'knifes', as they jokingly say a Dandemire should always carry their knives with them, and when not hunting they still stay together and enjoy each other's company.
She met Rhaesys Vakerian when she was around fifteen years of age and already immensely skilled with the sword. She very quickly grew to like her and wished to use her skills and her newly acquired Ossen Steel blade to protect the Golden Queen with everything she has. She was granted shining armor that she rarely is seen without upon her departure as Rhaesys and Maenyx approved of her protection after seeing her skills at conversation and with the blade.
