Description

Name: Lysanda Ariabrook
Age: 27
Sex: Female
Role: Archer
Appearance: Lysanda has long red hair which is usually left hanging loose and her eyes are a deep green. She wears dark green leather armor and is most always seen with at least a few daggers at her side. She carries a symbol of the Goddess of the Hunt on a necklace which is usually tucked under her clothing.

Equipment: Her leather armor is just that, nothing particularly special. It's adorned by feathers and furs of the tougher targets she'd brought down. Her bow and arrows are very well crafted and her bow in particular is made of a very strong and rare wood.
History: Lysanda was born in a village that existed right on the edge of a large forest. It was not too far off from the larger towns and capitol, and was mostly comprised of loggers and woodcraftsmen. Lysanda's father was a hunter for the village, there were only a few but they were important to the village. Her mother was an herbalist, a gatherer, and a doctor, applying her herbal remedies where she could. Lysanda grew up, idolizing her father, training to become a hunter herself. The line of work was dangerous, and eventually her father would receive a wound that would send him into retirement, when this happened Lysanda took up his bow and attained the official rank of huntress. Over many years she honed her skills, eventually becoming the head of the few hunters in the town. This lifestyle continued on for many years, her parents slipping away into the grasp of old age, her father succumbing to old wounds, and her mother mostly bedridden. In the village, 17 years after Bandrial had taken power, an unwanted child was born, taking pity on the baby girl Lysanda adopted her and named her Seria.
Personality: Lysanda is a kind individual, warm to most, however very wary. She always keeps an eye on those around her, especially newcomers. Despite her outward kindness, she doesn't trust most people very quickly. To those she cares for, she is very protective.
Skills: Her obvious skills in archery, tracking, and hunting. Additionally she has skill as a bowyer and skill in fletching.
God/Goddess: The Goddess of the Hunt. Lysanda respects this deity, and always offers prayer before a hunt, but she is not overly zealous.
Strengths: Good senses, agile, dexterous, fair strength and toughness, the conviction fighting for those she cares for gives her.
Weaknesses: Poor social skills, poor ability to read others, no schooling, can be a bit rash at times, the need to protect those she feels close to.
Fears: Afraid of lacking control over herself, slight claustrophobia.

Sub Plot Idea: Anything to do with her adopted daughter (Who would be killed due to being born in the year the stars aligned). Something involving rare/fierce beasts to hunt.
