Cherri Winters

"I've always wanted to try bird-watching." - Cherri Winters.

## History

Cherri Winters was born a lesser noble in Ancient Jarn-Burg during the Age of Chosen. As one born into the privilege of nobility, she lived a life of relative luxury. Though no over abundant she did live understanding that she eventually would have to make a change in her own life. Born without the use of her legs, she had a hard time living the same free life that most others could, but it was due to this that her perspective was very different.

In her adolescence, she was somewhat of a punk. She often time played with other lesser nobles and enjoyed her freedom and the chaos that most Jarn-Burg Humans did. But as she grew she began to notice that others did not grow up as she did. As her friends continued to live in their freedom, when they became adults and sought out their freedom they would fail and die. She understood that they lacked stability in their lives, and as she became an adult to go look for her own path, she sought out stability.

It was her search of stability that lead to The Gray Maidens. An odd order of women that brought the very order that she craved to find. During their initiation, although she proved to have talent in her military tactics, her strength and dexterity were relatively lacking. It did not help that she could not walk. Luckily she was intelligent, and making use of her inborn magical talent she was taught to combine her martial prowess with her magics in order to create a unique telekinetic fighting style.

When time came for her to scar her face, she was so dedicated to the cause that she used a spoon to gouge her eyes out. A choice she continues to live with and uphold today, never regretting it.

However time is cruel, when the Siege of Greyhold began, she along with all her other Gray Maiden sisters joined in the assault. As she sat there in a lightless world hearing her sisters die, time froze.

2000 years later, in the Seers Hall, she awoke once more. To a world where no one knew her name, where she no longer had a family, and where her Sisters had been lost to time. In this time, she sought out the help of House Arcturius, one of the few names she recognized, and with the help of Marcus Arcturius she began recreating The Gray Maidens once more.

## Appearance

Cherri Winters is a skinny individual, without leg muscles to run with but still a martially fit individual she lacks mass. A beautiful woman none-the-less, she would be quite tall if she were to stand.

Cherri Winters usually wears two distinct outfits, her Gray Maiden Uniform when outside of combat, and her Gray Maiden Plate when in.

Cherri usually can be found wearing her Gray Maiden Uniform. Decorated masterwork clothing composed of black and gray spider silk linens and rose-golden linings decorate her militaristic uniform.

When going into battle, Cherri dons her Gray Maiden Plate, a complete Gray and Crimson armor donned with The Helm of the Fanged Crown and the markings of a Gray Maiden Commander. She wields her Banner of the Scarlet Rose, up high as a symbol to being the new leader of the Gray Maidens and to reveal to others her status.

## Personality

Cherri is a polite individual, while she is hardened in her heart she's extremely compassionate. As she sought order in her life which lead her towards the Sunclaw Pantheon, she understands that ultimately people are different. While she may attempt to slowly change others ways she's patient as she knows things must be done "one step at a time."

While polite and understanding, she is firm when needed. And while she may not be the nicest to others she has an unyielding love to any of her Gray Maiden sisters. She, upon waking up in the new age, has an undying will to bring her order back to the world and will not stop at anything to make sure it happens.
