Nicknames/Aliases:

Age: 22
Occupation: Rebel, former noble.
Appearance: Kora is a tall, somewhat gangly, awkward looking young woman, with dark red hair cut away a couple of inches below her jaw. Her eyes are a steely grey colour. Her long limbs make her seem somewhat clumsy at first glance, though she's overcome that to a degree. She wears a long red coat the readed near to her ankles, and is rather too large for her frame, as well as red boots and gloves. A crimson scarf is tied around her forehead to geet head hair out of her face.

Strengths: Kora is a quick and powerful fighter, able to weild a sword well and make use of her magical abilties.
Weaknesses: She's something of a 'glass cannon' lacking in defensive capabilities. Her powers also backfire on her a great deal. (See Abilities.)
Equipment: Kora carries the Neverwinter family's sword, Bahrgeist, a light, one-handed sword the the the hilt fashioned to resemble the jaws of a hound, holding the blade.
Abilities:
Kora was born with an aberration that runs ion the family of the Neverwinter line that allows her to manipulate unrefined magic. When she activates this ability her eyes become a reddish hue as blood vessels burst and flood the eye. These powers afford a large amount of destructive ability, though they cause a lot of internal bleeding and temporary blindness after use. Kora also needs to eat a lot of sugar to retain enough energy to use her powers without quickly passing out from the energy required.
Brief history: Kora was born as the middle child to Lord Renard Neverwinter, a knight of Magna and owner of rather a large amount of property. Her older brother Peregrine was a sickly boy, and their father ha little interest in him as a result, favoring Kora and teaching her the skills he would normally have taught his son, swordplay, riding, archery and tactics. Kora was rather bolstered by the interest shown in her, however the favoritism hardly worked well for Peregrine.
With the rise of Skorn, Lord Neverwinter attempted to lead his men agaisnt him...but they were overpowered. The Lord was rather brutally slain as they raised the house of Neverwinter to the ground. Each member for the household was slaughtered in turn....with the exception of two. Peregrine offered his allegiance to Skorn in exchange for the title and the lands, finally able to gain the status he'd craved. Kora found herself facing the sword of one of the undead. She was run through and left for dead in the wreckage of the house, deemed 'unworthy of resurrection'. It was out of pure luck that the rebellion had dispatched thier scouts to look over the devestation, and happened to notice her there. It took a good few months for her to be anywhere near a state to fight, but when she did she became a valuable ally.
