Welcome The township you have come to lies in the turbulent middle grounds between two kingdoms that have ever been at odds- you're welcome to rest your weary feet and wash the dust from the road away with a flagon of ale if you wish, though if you are to stay longer, ye might be choosing your allies wisely. Both kingdoms have their merits and their downfalls, the choice is yours. Or perhaps your allegiance is better suited to the isle some call holy, that which is hidden in mists and mystery.


Introduce yourself, stranger.


As for you, what are you waiting for, you know your way in!

Knight
Name. Rhiannon
Age. 34
Gender. female

Alliance. Pyralis, to a lesser extent Avalon
Occupation/Trade. Knight

Appearance. Shorter than average, even for a woman, she is slender but stronger than she appears. Life in the saddle and life on many different roads made you far tougher than appearances let on. Her hair is thick and tawny in color; typically worn clubbed or plaited into a braid, but when unbound it is wavey and to the middle of her back. Her eyes are a bright, darker blue, almost like sapphires (which her grandmother’s eye-color was likened to). While older than most of her peers, it only shows in the fine lines at the corner of her eyes, really- from trying to shield her eyes from the sun as well as years of laughter against life’s difficulties. She is most commonly seen in men’s breeks, tall boots and a tunic held snug to her body by a leather jerkin. Her dress is as unfeminine as it comes, but cannot make her shape so. Presently she is in a borrowed indigo dress, and often goes barefoot through the castle

Play-By. Kate Winslet, from her ginger days

Personality. Headstrong to the point of obstinate at times. She’ll go toe to toe with someone in barbs and witty banter just as quick as she’ll disarm them and have them on the ground. She’s definitely cooled over the years, but, is still quite volatile, especially when concerning the people she loves. She tends to be direct and not mince words, but has learned to just hold her tongue in instances where that approach wouldn’t be beneficial. Naturally suspicious, she’s pragmatic and realistic in terms of planning and reacting, and the only ones who truly get to see a more emotional side of her would be those closest to her. She also doesn’t take well to being titled, but, is having to adjust to that now.

Strengths and Skills. She’s been riding since she could walk on her own, nearly, and is as natural on horseback as she is on her own two feet. Her fighting styles are usually unorthodox and designed to maximize damages while on horseback. This typically means that she can wield a broadsword or hand-and-a-half, the smaller blades designed more for raiding than tournement style fighting are her go to weapons. She /can/ use any weapon she comes across, or really anything as a weapon, but she’s most skilled with those with a bit closer of a range.

Her mother had taught her the basics of healing and the sundry skills that go along with it, but all that has stuck has been what helped her while travelling. As such, she can stabilize and basic treat many things, but is not adept at caring for serious wounds. The years spent travelling have made her able to improvise for necessities, and she can usually create or fix just about anything to fit her purpose at the time she needs it.

Weaknesses and Biases. Being smaller than most, she is more susceptible to damages in hand to hand fighting if she can’t use that size to her advantage and just evade and react quicker than her opponent. She tends to be short sighted when fighting, getting tunnel-visioned to what’s immediately in her periphery if she’s in the thick of the fighting. Her left wrist has been broken at least once and she has to wear a leather bracer on it to ensure it doesn’t rebreak. Because of this she’s tended to wear one on both arms to no draw attention to it.


Kith and Kin. She is the bastard child to Uther Pendragon, making her the half sister of Arthur by blood and Morgaine by association. Her mother was the sister of Merlin, though any gifts from that side of her family passed purely to her twin, Alain. She considers both Prince Rawyn and Toren her nephews, though neither share blood with her. She’s married to the Pyralian Captain, the archer Dawson and they have their own set of twins, Rhiann and Gavin.

Birthplace. Avalon, raised primarily in the Snowdonia region of Wales

History.
See character profile.

Extra Information? She still carries the sword Excalibur, which has found its way back to her despite countless efforts to rehome it. It’s presently in Dawson’s care until Rhiannon once again can be trusted as herself to carry it again. Source material pulled from for her history/character: multiple Arthurian legends, T.A. Barron’s Lost Years of Merlin series, and good old fashioned history.

Player Alias. Terra
Other Characters. Camus Mallor, Cirien, Elen, Gareth, Gavin, Nora, Rhiann, Rowen and Trennia
