Description
Race: Faery
Age: 27
Orientation: Straight
Long brown hair that brushes her tailbone (generally braided), highlighted with a rusty bronze in the sun; due to the length of her hair, it gets paler nearing the ends, but this isn't readily perceived unless the two ends of a strand are held side-by-side. Liquid brown eyes and tawny skin complete the package. At a height of 5'4", her figure is slight but strong. Her wings are feathered, chocolaty on top, with bars of brown, cream, and sandy spots underneath, an exact replica of a peregrine falcon. Her general outfit consists of a white tunic with a low back (to make room for her wings), cream leggings, and black boots. Over the tunic is a vest made of heavy red cloth, extending midway down her thighs, belted in with her swordbelt, with slits for easy movement. This is part of a faery commander's formal apparel, as the vest is decorated with the sigils of the position, trimmed with burnished gold thread. Usually, though, she wears the informal red vest without the gold edging; still the uniform of a commander, but with less pomp.

Equipment
Kaedo Silen's dagger: It was given to her as a parting gift. The dagger used to be part of a whole broadsword, Kaedo's own, as it were. However, Silen's friend, Jael (see ShadowPhoenix's profile), was prone to extreme bouts of depression, during which he might oftentimes be beyond the help of his friend. So, stealthily and during several months, Silens Borrowed both the metal and posion magic of Jael, using the metal magic's unique capabilities to, coupled with his telepathy, give the knives a certain degree of quasi-sentience. They could recognize the two friends, for they were heavily imbued with fire, telepath's, poison ,and metal magic. Adfter prsenting the dagger to Jael, Kaedo activated the last magical mechanism of this knife: the faery magic. All faeries have a communal bond, bred of evolutionary design, which makes it difficult for one to hurt the other and prompts greater sympathy for members of one's own race (see Freedom Forsaken OOC for greater detail). After some time, the two friends decreased their dependency on the daggers as a form of communication, and forced the pair into dormancy. Sorea and Lilith, the apprentices of the two men, accidentally re-activated the link between the weapons in the prequel to Freedom Forsaken, The War of Light and Dark.
She has a hand-and-a-half sword at her left hip, with knives in her boots and strapped to her arms (under the tunic). The number of hidden blades may be increased or depleted, as the situation demands. She carries a bow and a quiver full of arrows on her back when necessary, although she rarely needed archery at a battle (that's what the archers were for, after all-- she commanded them, and killed mage-style). Her arrows are fletched with feathers from her own wings.
History
Sorea's people enjoy legends and tall tales, so her own story quickly became the stuff of myth and legend; in reality, there was a lot more hardship behind what she did to rise in ranks and become a stealthy predator, nor was she as powerful as was believed. She was raised to be an assassin and a spy, the apprentice of Kaedo Silens, and she tends to keep to herself. When eighteen, Sorea joined the military as a battle assassin, quickly ascending the ranks to the second-highest position of commander (at the age of twenty-six) via means ranging from the honest to the questionable to downright unlawful. When she forsook the free ways of a killer-for-hire to be the government's personal assassin, her master in a fit of rage cut off all contact with her for well over a year, reconciling when she was nearly nineteen. The reason she'd done such an act was for her close childhood friend, Signum, as well as herself. When she was twelve and he seventeen, two Rau-lass captured them and tried to convert Signum into an atrox, breaking his neck and tossing him aside to die when they failed. Sorea split her soul to save him before his spirit completely entered the void, but to patch up the lost halves, she had to kill people and harvest the souls. If left untended for too long, an incomplete spirit can become volatile and eventually lead to a violent demise; she sought to prevent such a fate for the two of them.
Her homeland is the faery capital, Occalus, in the western mountain reaches, near one of the elven forests. Sorea happened to be a telepath, able to mentally communicate with as well as control other minds; coupled with her soul-magic, she wasn't the sort of opponent to be taken too lightly (well, she never really used her soul-magic unless her life was threatened, because it needs souls for fuel and she'd been gathering them for something else, so all she really used was her telepathy). Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to help her when she fought Astrophel Soryuu, a human Brigadier-General and the strongest of all the men she's ever battled. In their last struggle, he killed her body and soul; the quick-witted commander had been prepared for this, though, and she used what remained of her magic to link to Signum and Anahita via the soul, conducting an extremely advanced spell which would have used her magic to repair her friend's half-soul and send her conciousness to her sister's mind. In this last part she's failed, because no one can really cheat death.
