Adrianne Jaeger

Adrianne E.K. Jaeger is one of the main protagonists in the Yaalheim series. She is an Assassin-class mercenary working for the YMS and is Rozovan nobility. Adrianne is an archer, a proficient Aeromancer, novice Lumomancer and the finest long range killer in the world. She is aged 17 at the start of the books, appearing first in chapter 2.

### Appearance

Adrianne is a average-height teenage girl with light hazel brown hair at almost elbow length. She has a slim, athletic build and whose flexibility and agility is on par with that of many professional gymnasts. She is the most armored of the those on her mercenary team, apart from Lupin, who has full body plated armor. Adrianne wears chain-mail over top of her bodysuit and a large breast plate covering from the bottom of her ribs to her neck, all the way around. As well, she wears plate armor from her waist down and pointed metal boots. A ragged skirt of wyvern skin is attached to the back of her belt, as a hunting trophy. Slung across her back is a large recurve bow made of ironwood with a counter-weight and sight fitted on. She is said to be very fair of face, yet few of her coworkers have ever attempted to court her because of the fact she murdered her abusive fiance.

### Weapons and Abilities

Being the most outstanding archer in the series, Adrianne can be best described as a medieval sniper. Using her catalyst, a recurve bow fitted with the finest equipment including a stabilizing counterweight, a sight fitted with a Light crystal, and base frame made of Rozovan ironwood imbued with Air magic, there are none who can rival her long ranged skill. Being trained at the Valkan assassin's school of St. Alpheus, She is specialized in close ranged combat and ancillary weapons, or those considered secondary to her bow. She utilizes her Lumomancy to manipulate the photons around her sight, allowing scoped accuracy, and uses Aeromancy by controlling airflow around her arrows so they never stray from the directed path, and experiencing no projectile drop. Her longest range kill to date is from 2.48 kilometers away. She is very skilled in close and long ranged combat, yet cannot fight well in mid-ranged combat such as with swords, axes, spears or other pole-arms. Her primary melee weapons are double serrated push daggers, and concealed shoe knives. With these, her fighting style involves quite a lot of punching and kicking her enemies, just with lethal armaments. Her trump card involves using her air magic to orbit her daggers within a meter of her body and speeds of around 300 ft per second, essentially eviscerating any would-be assailants. This, however like most magic user trump cards, cause fatigue and eventually unconsciousness within moments.

### Personality

Adrianne is essentially, of her group of mercenaries, the mother. Not in the loving way, but more the nagging, overprotective, clean-freak way. As she was raised in a family of nobles, she has impeccable manners and etiquette, while being simultaneously really snobby. She has many redeeming qualities, though. As an example, while Siegfried is the team's tactical leader, she is much better at managing the team off of the battlefield, and keeping them out of bad situations. She appears to have a disdain for all those on her team, but the truth is she cares for them deeply and just wants to keep them safe. She is also extremely dedicated to her work and absolutely despises leaving jobs undone. One of the primary reasons she is so callous is because after she left St. Alpheus, her family engaged her to a Nobleman named Pierre Ilios, who turned out to be very abusive. 3 days before her wedding, she slit his throat and escaped with her catalyst weaponry, becoming a famous mercenary at only the age of 15.
