[u]Background[/u]
Kidnapped and sold as a slave to a noble at the age of 10, Krea had been promptly deposited in one too many gladiator rings after a brief three years of training imposed on her by her master. While (obviously) not dead yet, Krea decided that she had enough after seven years of grueling, bloody battles and barely scraping through them alive. Besides, she was certain that her greedy master had reaped enough profits from all her wins. But most importantly? After years of experience, handling various sorts of weapons and augmenting her battle wits and reflexes, she was more than ready to make a break for it. Which she did, and succeeded. Krea had been wandering around alone ever since, until she bumped into an odd wizard by the name of Valon Almecci, taking a liking for his peculiar little creature. They have been travelling together ever since - mostly Krea persistently following him around out of boredom, finding him an amusing companion. She relishes watching Valon's fantastic spell failures when they occur, making it a point to remind him about them every now and then. 

[u]Strengths[/u]
- Krea has impressive strength for a female, and great stamina. A result of her past experiences. 
- Able to wield several weapon types - spears, swords, polearms. 
- Hosts quick battle reflexes and wits, a skill sharpened and honed over time.

[u]Weaknesses[/u]
- Regarding bullet point two under 'strengths': jack of all trades and master of none applies here. Having to switch between different weapon types as dictated by circumstances in the gladiator rings did not allow for perfection in any one of them. 
- Clueless about close-ranged or hand-to-hand combat, since her combat style revolves around keeping her opponent at a comfortable distance, using weapon techniques to defeat stronger, male opponents who would otherwise overpower her in an unarmed duel. Take away her weapons, and she'll be krea-ing. (Ahem pun intended).
- She can't swim.
