[b]Name:[/b] Caine

[b]Appearance (I'll draw her later . . . probably?):[/b] An elfin looking girl with wide, dark-green eyes and brown hair that reaches a bit past the shoulders, where it's tied into a ponytail. Short for her apparent age, she stands at 4'9'' however, there are hints of muscles and callus all over her body, which is proof of her steady development. Speaking of development, for a girl her body is . . . 'developed' to say the least. She usually hides her chest size with bindings and wears baggy clothing to hide everything else. Depending on the intelligence of who she is interacting with, they may or may not mistake for a feminine boy.

[b]Gender:[/b] Female

[b]Nation:[/b] Lived the majority of her life in Frelia, however she was and still is loyal to Grado.

[b]Class:[/b] Recruit

[b]Weapon Mastery:[/b] E

[b]Level:[/b] 4

[b]Background:[/b] 
	Born to an upper middle-class merchant family in Grado, Caine very much adored the noble knights and cavaliers that served under her military. It was her childhood dream to be able to join their ranks and help the country against the ever growing threats from outside. This was because, as a young girl, she'd constatly read stories about savior-heroes and gallant knights that protected their kingdoms from demons, invasions, barbarians and more, all the while upholding the high moral values that they were expected to have. She idolized their beliefs and their steadfast loyalty to their country, but above that, she admired the strength they had to uphold those ideals. It may have been a barbaric way of viewing life, but Caine truly believes that strength and personal power is what determines who is right, complementing that belief, however, is another of her beliefs that the ones who are truly in the right will naturally become stronger, because the conviction to their cause will hold their will together a much tighter than the conviction to a foul ideal.

	One problem with her dream of becoming a knight of Grado, however, was that she was too young and more importantly, she lived in Frelia - this is because the headquarters of her families wool, tannery, and pegasi breeding company moved to Frelia, which generally had better fields and resources for raising pegasi. She planned to move out and apply for the Grado military when she was old enough and once her parents agreed, she immediately shot off and applied - at probably the worst time possible. In the middle of her training period, Jehenna attacked, cutting her supposedly four years of training in half. She, along with many other recruits, were scattered across the country. Much to her everlasting grief her pony died as well. Her current goals involve finding a way to help her country in the time of crisis while getting strong enough to do so, but farther off in the future, she aims to carve out a legend of her own for herself.

[b]Personality:[/b] 
	Headstrong, aggressive, determined, stubborn, energetic - Caine is a very straightforward girl. Her greatest improvements happen in the heat of the moment, and she improves far more rapidly under pressure than under controlled situations. Caine charges straight into whatever problem she sees while rarely thinking about the consequences.

	Despite her upholding of the chivalric code, she has a hard time keeping her temper from flaring up, but at the very least she can cool down a lot easier. She is generally a nice person and loves talking and hanging around other people, despite her choleric temper. Caine highly values her moral code, which is patterned after the knights chivalric code: the habits of loyalty, forebearance, hardihood, liberty, ethics for the weak and powerless, and above all, the upholding of honor for herself and others. Because of this, she obviously has a lot of contempt for the corrupt, cruel and honorless. To a lesser extent, she also dislikes whiners who do nothing but complain about their situations.

	Caine doesn't skirt around issues that she sees needs addressing and will immediately point out and voice any problem she sees disregarding propriety and manners. The direct royal family asides, she will probably disregard formalities despite talking to nobility - her belief is that respect has to be earned, not given because of a title. She can take criticism surprisingly well. She is very loyal to her beliefs and will defend defend it at every turn.

[b]Ability Assessment:[/b] 
	Caine's Speed, and Strength growth are phenomenal. Reflective of her personality, she is aggressive and opportunistic; if she sees a chance at victory, she will pounce on it, sometimes disregarding orders if she feels that she has to. She focuses on quick but damaging strikes, aiming to end things in one hit - and if that doesn't work, she'll hit them again, except [i]harder[/i]. In contrast however, she doesn't focus too much on defense and constitution, so they're considerably than normal, which translates into her being easily injure - her method for covering this up is of course by being fast enough to avoid any hits, but a lucky blow from an enemy has a high chance of disabling her. Her Skill is fairly normal for her class, but has rapid growth, however her luck is a bit above average but caps very early on.

[b]Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other: [/b]
[list][*]	She is a skilled horse/pegasi rider, which is natural considering her family breeds them. She has no exerience fighting on one, however, and despite her families dealing with pegasi on a daily basis, she prefers regular horses a lot more.

[*]	Another talent that is less known is her talent in singing - she really has a beautiful voice. Sadly, she refuses to sing in front of people and thinks that it's 'too girly and doesn't suit her'. Her parents are very much dismayed about this, as back then she used to sing cute nursery rhymes for them all the time. Caine [i]really[/i] doesn't want to remember that.

[*]	Caine, due to the rush-and-about lives of recruits has a tendency to sleep in one of two ways; either completely armored, unwashed and dirty while still holding her weapons or clean, washed and completely nude. Which state she ends up in depends on the situation at hand.


[*]	Once upon a time, Caine was widely considered to be a very attractive girl when she was young, and it was expected she would only grow more-so once she grew up. Years of obsessing over fighting and training however, have since covered up that beauty with grime, sweat, and general unkemptness, so she's a lot less attractive to look at now. Should she [i]bother[/i] to clean up however, people will be very surprised to find out that she is no less beautiful than she was expected to be.


[*]	Completely obsessed with growing stronger. Even before her recruitment period, she had a habit of wanting to get stronger than she did before, resulting in some nasty accidents, such as accidentally injuring her home tutors, broke several important (not to mention expensive) decorations and more.

[*]	She's a skilled writer, reader and mathematician due to her family being rich enough to afford tutors, however this is constantly buried under her more physical aspirations.[/list]
