Name: Rasiel Seraphiel
"I am at your service, my Lady."

"Do not fret, my age betrays my experience on the battlefield."

"In this times, it is best to rely on each other for strength. I'll--be your sword."
Appearance: "D-do I really stand out that much?" She has long, red hair and ruby red eyes. She dresses elegantly despite not acting like a blue-blooded noble, often to the annoyance of the latter and is often seen in full battle attire. She stands at 5'5" and weighs 49 kg. Face Claim: Elesis (Grand Master) from Elsword.
Personality: "I--I don't feel like t-telling everything right now." Rasiel generally gives off an air of mystery and uncertainty. She is rather obstinate about her ideals and her charge, viewing it as something that is honourable. She can be calculative and isn’t the type who appears to show hesitation in the field of battle. Despite her stern looks though, she is rather downcast and somewhat timid.
She can be pretty emotional and is prone to act on them, especially if it involves the innocents or her allies. In times of failure, she has a tendency to blame herself, almost reaching a point where she becomes hard to comfort and console.
History: "Perhaps...I can give this trust thing a try." Rasiel was born in the 56th year of the Lawless Period, in a modest farming family. She used to be bullied a lot when she was a kid, due to her status. This drove her to further strengthen herself, hiding her fragility behind steel swords and armor. At the age of 13, she chose to pursue the path towards knighthood, studying under the monarchy's extensive training program.
By 15, she had managed to become a squire, dedicating her service to the people of Lucrezia. She was initially unsure of her conviction due to the fact that she only took on the charge as a means of getting back at her oppressors but, her first victory on the battlefield reinforced her resolve. She also displayed good scouting abilities, increasing their survival rate by a full 5%.
She was knighted three years later along with her other colleagues as a result of a mass vacancy among their ranks and was given her own unit to command as part of the Ashen Dragoon Unit. At this point in time, her unit is in charge of reconnaissance, observing the movements of the Spectrals and the Chrysalis alike. She also currently holds some authority over choosing squires to promote, with most of the new and young recruits being entrusted to her care in order to ensure that they survive their early missions and because of her amiability to the greenhorn members due to her younger age. When not in reconnaissance, she works as acting police within the city walls. Otherwise, she's currently studying to enhance her magical affinity.
Equipment/Abilities: Rasiel has generally good fencing skills and is quite agile, able to immediately close in on her opponents, whether on foot or on horseback. She also has good scouting skills and command skills, enough to be entrusted her own unit. Her aptitude for magic is quite low however and she herself, is quite fragile.
Ashen Dragoon Uniform – The armor given to Knights are generally resistant to lower forms of magic and other weapons. It doesn’t offer full body protection as the exposed parts are still vulnerable. Rasiel’s armor bears her identification marking and her designation as an Ashen Dragoon leader for other Knights to see as well as being sewn in her own colors.
Transient Scarlet – Rasiel wields a large claymore as her primary weapon. She has learned how to wield it effectively through years of training, allowing her to use it as if it’s one of the lighter weapons. The sword itself is made from strong and light material and can easily cut through a Chrysalis’ hide with ease. As with most Zweihanders, the Transient Scarlet is meant to be wielded with two hands. It is also engraved with a fire rune that aids Rasiel with her fire affinity, allowing her to generate her own fire as long as the sword is near her.
Steel Lance – A weapon wielded by Knights as they fight on horseback, Rasiel uses it to create an opening, ultimately abandoning it once it hits its target. She has several spares but she only carries one at a time.
Magic:
First-Aid – Rasiel knows how to administer first-aid to herself and her allies. It is only good for treating short-term wounds but pales in comparison to more formal white magic.
Accelerate - Short-term burst using magical energy. It is useful for closing in on opponents in a short amount of time.
Fehu, Uruz, Thurisaz – An enchantment placed on her sword. It engulfs the blade in flames, thanks to a fire rune engraved within the blade, giving it better damaging capabilities.
Pyrokinesis - Her brief magical training allows her to control fire to some degree but not up to the point that she can be recognized as a proper mage for it. As with low-level pyrokinetics, she can only manipulate fire. She is unable to generate it herself without the help of runes or other external catalysts.
Sentinel – An animated doll. Rasiel uses it to aid in her scouting tasks. Resembling a real, living owl, it blends in with nature, provided that it doesn’t appear out of place. A form of medium-rank alchemy, it can be created anytime as long as parts from its real counterpart are readily available (e.g. feathers or scales).
Aside from these, Rasiel owns a horse named Tarrasque who she counts on for transportation and when she fights as part of a cavalry unit. It is an intelligent steed that Rasiel trained to come to her call and to exit the battlefield in the event she is knocked off him. Tarrasque is Rasiel's 7th horse.
