Race: Human, Nordic descent
Primary Skill: Fencing, Thrusting Swords (Normally wields a single espada ropera, but can utilize a parrying dagger when defending.)
Other Skills: A well-taught woman of noble birth, familiar with Gialphan history and legends. Just don't trust her to do any of the cooking.

Basics: Brown hair, fair skin, dark blue eyes, 5'2", 125 lbs, 22 years old.
Back Story: Lailah was born to a minor yet prosperous House of nobles and merchants. Ever since she was a young girl traipsing upon the Gialphan shores, she wanted nothing more than to one day be a proper wife, to have a husband and family she could share love with, just like her sickeningly lovey-dovey parents. Woefully, no matter what, Lailah found herself utterly incompetent at any kind of housework.
Her mind wanders to tales of chivalry, romance, and exotic virile non-humans. Every stew she cooked was tasteless, every roast venison overcooked, and let's not even get into her attempts at actual housekeeping. One thing Lailah was skilled at, however, was swordsmanship. Her footwork agile, yet firm, her thrusts swift and sure. Her skill as a duelist led her to innumerable tournament victories, against foes both stronger and faster. A fact which made her father proud, but also concerned her mother.
Lord Telias, wishing to expand his House's fortune and reputation, sent Lailah as an ambassador, knight, and token of goodwill to the Snow Elf Kingdom of Polara. As a dutiful daughter and a lover of adventurous tales, Lailah obeyed her father's will without question. Lailah's short attention span and tendency to lose track of things, however, have made the journey much more complicated than necessary....
