It seems that much of her early childhood and adolesence is unknown, and when asked she doesnt seem to want to answer directly. Though very rarely she will give some discription of her childhood, saying that it was a "very unpleasent" time in her life.

#### The Empire

At the Age of 16, Sentoris came to the Empire of Almoriae for a better life. Because of her unknown past it was difficult for her to gain citizenship. She then found that she could easily gain citizenship through the military and joined.

Her appearance caught the attention of many of her peers and superiors, often resulting much verbal abuse and bullying. Despite this Sentoris showed promise in her early training and passed basic combat training with numerous acolades and awards to her name. This owed much jelousy from others and would be a common occurance throughout her military career.

Because of her high standing after her basic training was complete Sentoris was hand selected to attend officer cadet school. Throughout the academy Sentoris surprised not only her peers but also her instructors with her intelegence. Often more then not making polite, yet profund corrections in numerous strategies and battle plans. This caused many to openly mock her and criticize her objective view points on class material, however the instructors throughout the course welcomed it for the most part. Sentoris graduated with high honors and was hand selected to join the Dragon Guard Elite, an achievement for someone so young.

Sentoris was then enrolled in the Dragon Guard Academy and just as previous attained very high test scores and physically abilities. Nearly outpreforming anyone else within her class. Despite these accomplishments Sentoris exhibited signs of depression. Since her enlistment she had virtually no friends and lived mostly in isolation, unable to socialize much because of her own anxiety. Many individuals made innopropriate comments about her physique and openly questioned why she thought she could eve be part of the guard. In one instance she was evenly sexually harrassed. This was quickly dismissed by not only other members from her class but even her instructors as well despite the academy's next to zero tollerance on such occurances. Eventually Sentoris found a friends in her partner dragon, a male named Schnoder. Despite what others thought, Schnoder found in her great promise and vowed to be her partner. Within time Sentoris and Schnoder both graduated with high honors from the Dragon Guard Academy.

 She was given a position in the 10th Mountaineering Division as a platoon leader. Her first assignement garnered many negative reactions, with many believing someone so young shouldnt hold such a high rank. This was quickly disproven however with Sentoris aiding her companions and showing her great intelect and empathy. Although many did not approve of her in such a postion, those within her platoon grew to greatly appreciate her and many would comment she was one of the very best junior officers they had ever had for a seciton leader.

Within only a year Sentoris was promoted to the rank of captain and given command over the company she was initially assigned to. Her records and personal reviews showed tremendous promise. During her first deployment off planet Sentoris showed her true leadership skills and recieved great praise from her subordinates. As the years and deployment cycles went on eventualy Sentoris met the requirements to be promoted yet again to Colonel. At just twenty one years of age she became the youngest to ever achieve such a rank. She became the brigade commander that was attached to her company and proved to be invaulable to the unit's success in the early campaigns agains the U.I.S. incursion on the Empires lands.

At the age of twenty five Sentoris recieved an invitation that would change her life forever. Because of her numerous success and nearly flawless career, Sentoris was given special attention by none other then Arbister Morvikeye, Lord of Armies and the supreme commander of all Empire Army forces. The great Arbister met with Sentoris personally and informed her that she was granted permission to attend the Academy of Lords to attain a rank few would ever see in the order of the Dragon Guard; the rank of Dragon Lord. Sentoris was given the opprotunity to attend the Academy and if she succeded she would be promoted to a Lord. With great pride and excitement Sentoris accepted the invitaiton. Over the course of her attendance Sentoris struggled greatly but also showed great promise in her achievements. Outpreforming other members of the Guard that had career's decades longer then her own. This grew quite a bit of contraversy as many did not believe she deserved to attend the academny with her service record being shy of a decade. Normaly members of the Dragon Lords serve no less than three decades before even being considered for the Academy of Lords.

Despite the contraversy and prejudace eventually Sentoris graduated, once again achieving high honors above her other peers. During a great ceremony given by none other then the Emperor, Sentoris was pinned with her badge as a newly dubbed Dragon Lord, a moment that made her more proud then she had ever been before. All the comments and glances and abuse she had suffered were all made worth it in that moment.

As a newely cristened Dragon Lord, Sentoris and her dragon who himself was promoted to Lord were given command over the legendary 1rst Armored Division. During the first mobilization of the unit Sentoris would yet again prove herself. During the opening hours of the battle of tremondeu with the UIS Sentoris and her command tank, an ultra siege class named the Iron Dragon broke through enemy lines to give troops in the area a way to evacuate after being exhausted of supplies and being nearly cut off from the main force. Sentoris would leave the saftey of her command tank to personally lead an assault to save the lives of those that were trapped and suffered minor injuries as a result. Even with these she carried many wounded away from the battlefield and held the line for many of her cut off forces to be relieved.

After the battle news of her stunning counter offensive sent shock waves throughout the Empires High Command, eventually reaching that of Nymeriah Dexovzien and even Emperor Soveriene himself. For her accomplishments and bravery in impossible odds, Sentoris was awarded along her Schonder the Medal of Valor. This award few would ever see in their lifetime, given only to those that would sacrifice their very lives in the name of their battle companions and the Empire. This gave Sentoris almost as much pride as when she was given her rank of Dragon Lord. Sentoris became the youngest to ever recieve the award in a grand ceremony ordained by the Emperor himself.

## Personality

Sentoris possessed a genius level intelect and proved to be a brillant military stratigest and tactician. Her physical skills also outmatched almost any other member of the Dragon Guard. Despite her fearful apperance Sentoris had a gentle and caring heart for those around her. Unfortunately this was taken advantge of many times throughout her career. Despite being continually mocked and belittled by others Sentoris never lashed out at anyone.

Unfotunately even with her success and numerous acolades and awards Sentoris desplayed states of extreme anxiety and depression, owing to the thought process that whatever she did was never good enough. A few points throughout her military experience she has had instances of drastic anxiety that causes her to "lock up" although this has been very rare.

She also seems to suffer from extreme post traumatic stress disorder at different periods of time. This may be largely due to her experience as a military commander and field marshal. Often battling aloneside her soldiers has given her some very disturbing memories.

## Legacy

Sentoris was the youngest to ever reach the rank of Dragon Lord and by some accounts one of its greatest. She was also the youngest to ever recieve the Medal of Valor an award few would ever see. Her accomplisments would be matched by few over the course of her career and many compared her to some of the orders very best, even the likes of Nymeriah Dexovzien herself.
