She dazzled and scared her foes and led her troops like she had been doing it for years.[/color][/quote][/center] [img][center]http://orig11.deviantart.net/48f3/f/2011/208/a/b/divider_by_canzeda-d41w92p.png[/center][/img] [h3][i][color=F9487D][center]Mythology[/center][/color][/i][/h3] [color=F7CCEE][center]Music sounds around the campfire. Men holler and laugh, women dance and sing. Spirits are high and morale surges. That is the power of music. Music isn't only used for entertainment. Music can calm the fiercest beast, empower the bravest warrior, and inspire crowds of thousands to march into battle. Dancers aren't known for their battle prowess, but beauty can be a facade. Such is the way of Caecilia, the battle dancer. A vision of beauty, femininity, and softness, under the mask she is a fierce warrior and strong battlemaster. She wasn't always the warrior she ended up becoming. Born to a family of warriors, she was the only girl after a line of 6 boys. Her father was a strong swordsman and her mother was a fierce archer. Her older brothers followed in their footsteps, each one becoming a fighter and joining the forces. Still too young, Caecilia stayed home when her family fought. She stayed with her grandmother and helped cook for the soldiers. This battle was hard and the casualties ran high, including her parents and four of her brothers. The two that returned were scarred and severely wounded. The clan lost many able fighters in that battle, and fear made them disperse. With only her grandmother and two brothers with her, they ventured on their way to find a new home. Being the only one in the group, Caecilia took a sword and fended off attacks from creatures and raiders. They finally found a traveling group that allowed them to stay and travel with them. Her brothers, once able, joined the combat forces. Her grandmother continued to help cook, but shortly after she passed on. It was here that Caecilia found her love of dancing and music when she stayed with the group's lead musician. Her name was Leywin and she inspired Caecilia to feel the rhythm and pursue her love of dancing. Fates had a different idea in mind and a group of marauders attacked the camp while part of the soldiers were scouting. They started slaughtering the women and children first before her new home started fighting back. As the marauders attacked, Leywin took up a sword and fended off a few of them before getting stabbed. Caecilia, in a fit of anger, took up the sword and killed her attackers. She ventured out and joined the forces and pushed back the attackers. The marauders wounded them, but all was not lost. Fueled by vengeance, Caecilia took it upon herself to lead the charge against the marauders, detailing battle plans and coming up with tactics. In memory of Leywin, Caecilia used her dance background to gracefully dodge attacks and fight off her enemies, leading the clan to victory. Caecilia soon led her own league of warrior women, all dancers and fighters. To this day, she is seen as the spirit of the dance and is valued for her bravery, determination, strong will, and loyalty to her cause.[/center][/color] [img][center]http://orig11.deviantart.net/48f3/f/2011/208/a/b/divider_by_canzeda-d41w92p.png[/center][/img] [h3][i][color=F9487D][center]Appearance[/center][/color][/i][/h3] [color=F7CCEE][center]Caecilia appears as a young woman in her late twenties to early thirties. She has long, blonde hair that falls to her shoulders and stunning light blue eyes. Her legend would have you believe this as such, however Caecilia is true to legend at the age of 18. She still has her long, blonde hair and blue eyes. Her skin is pale. She stands at 5'7'' and weighs 120 lbs. She has a curvy frame to fit her dancing lifestyle. Normally, she will wear dancing garments like [url=http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=9061489]this[/url]. During battle, she will still wear dresses like [url=http://ak2.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/cid/111538907/id/ni2WS9eG4xGYnkNGiPOa4g/size/y.jpg]this[/url], daring any man to try and hit her.[/center][/color] [img][center]http://orig11.deviantart.net/48f3/f/2011/208/a/b/divider_by_canzeda-d41w92p.png[/center][/img] [h3][i][color=F9487D][center]Abilities & Equipmnet[/center][/color][/i][/h3] [color=F7CCEE][center]Caecilia is known for her grace and beauty, using these to her advantage outside and inside of battle. Arete is her goddess of choice and is blessed with a jeweled necklace with her blessing on it for aid and protection for the dancing warrior. Caecillia's voice is said to be able to calm the angriest beast and charm the most corrupt man. Combined with her dancing, she is a force to be reckoned with when not in battle. When the time to fight does come, Caecilia has a few tricks up her sleeve. Using her singing, she is able to grant boons and boosts to her allies and discourage and weaken her foes. For combat, she uses her dancing to gracefully move about the battlefield. She carries her [url=https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSPL9MV-MJYVIWN2DNINPs6HfeasLtfWPvwh92umjB-0ehe6Abm9g]chakrams[/url] in battle as throwable weapons as well as close combat. She also carries the sword she picked up in the marauder attack, but mainly only as a memorial to Leywin.[/center][/color] [img][center]http://orig11.deviantart.net/48f3/f/2011/208/a/b/divider_by_canzeda-d41w92p.png[/center][/img] [h3][i][color=F9487D][center]Age of Legend[/center][/color][/i][/h3] [color=F7CCEE][center]1,968[/center][/color]
