Medina Kreldot Ninishledilo

Behold; Medina Kreldot Ninishledilo, a magician, a pictomancer, in service of Bjorn Varkamblood during Bjorn's Campaign.

Born in 942 to an average family, Medina was forced by her parents to start training magics at a young age.

Boom, boom, time passes, parents die, she's left to take care of her younger sister, Shiirano, alone.

Being versed in pictomancy, that is, animating drawings to serve the magician's needs, she manages to earn extra money by using her magics at parties and celebrations, in addition to her military pay, but that would last only so long.

Eventually, civil war breaks out, and she finds herself in her hometown, as one of the few remaining soldiers, as the lackluster morale had forced all others to run away or defect to the besieging army of Bjorn.

Caring very little for politics and finding herself with no real choice, Medina chooses to defect to Bjorn's army.

In Bjorn's armies, Medina's skills are mainly put to test for scouting and exploration until she manages to become friends with the infamous mercenary captain, Fagribaf "Skullface" Segetin, who personally introduces her to Bjorn.

Medina manages to impress Bjorn, and soon, he places her sister under his protection. In return for loyalty and servitude, her sister would always be taken care of.

She later helps capture a Takedan caravan, which coincidentally had Bjorn's nephew on board, whom she takes as prisoner.

As time goes on and Medina's sister becomes more independent in adulthood and the civil war progresses, Medina's reasoning to continue fighting becomes less about helping her sister and simply repaying her debt to Bjorn.

Bjorn's Campaign lasts for 17 years, and where once Medina was a young maiden, she is now an old woman at age 52.

The war ended with Bjorn's victory, but he died at the very end of it. With Bjorn dead, Medina sees very little reason to follow his successor, Saladin of Rodok, and goes out to do random jobs to pass time. Her desire now is to build a magical school focused on pictomancy where she would teach herself.

However, that's not meant to be, as in 996 Medina enters the infamous Labyrinth of Eternity for unknown reasons and is never seen again.

Personality wise, Medina is a rather introverted and arrogant woman who thinks of Saladin as a weak child, but acts very lovingly with her sister.

Medina prefers letting others fight or will animate beasts to fight for her. If needed, however, she is versed in sword fighting and can hold her ground.

She has two main quills which she uses to animate her spells. One is a severed dragon finger, its sharp nail being used to draw and write, with a feather embedded into its other side. This is a fairly standard quill among high tier pictomancers.

The other quill is a sentient sharpened feather, called Chire, with a very rude and hostile attitude. Medina and Chire will often times be at odds. The reason for Chire being sentient is not fully understood, but magic is no doubt involved.

Other than that, her sword and scrolls are average.

**Design ahead, copied entirely from the original notes.**

See, at first, I only had the hat in mind. I wasn't sure who to give the hat to, but I chose Medina in the end.

The hat is a so called "Luk", a fairly standard Ximi hat. It's made of leather and cloth. There are beads hanging from the edge. The ribbon on the hat is a star crafted by Medina's younger sister, Shiirano. Colourwise, it's medium brown, with the stripes being white.

The idea for it was a witch hat, but made by MEEEEEEEEE, with my soul and love and semen put into it.

She has sharp Takedan eyes and straight well maintained dark hair going down slightly below her chin. She wears no jewelry until the latter stages of Bjorn's Campaign, where her sister gifts her with ear rings in return for all she's done for her sake. She wears those until her disappearance.

The rest of her design is fairly basic. Full leather armour, given her ample agility, but also some semblance of warmth and protection.

She was supposed to have a bag on her hips, and she kinda does, where she stores her drawing apparatus, but I failed at it ;w;

Oh, yeah, also that small skirt cape thing attached to her belt, whatever you want to call it.
