I don't know. I based it on a real style. If it would fit the setting better, though, I'll rework it into something more specialized.
Is that better?
With a new force entering the fray made the drow feel somewhat competitive. This knight would not hog all of the kills. Succoria made sure of it as she savagely assualted one after another. From impaling a blade through a man's throat to scissoring both weapons to behead an orc, severing a goblin's hands from it's arms and moving on to the others.
Her blades glistened red with the blood of outlaws in the sun. A demoniacal radiance as she cut through the flank of these bandits. Though it was not so long ago that she had tried her luck at such unsavory pursuits herself. However, she soon discovered that among the strange and backward nature of the surface world it paid more in riches and in honors to defend the weak than to slaughter or exploit them. As foreign as the concept was to her, Succoria Arkhenneld was not one to let an opportunity for personal gain slip by her.
After all, she had already suffered the worst of humiliations at the hands of her own kin. Nor was it very likely that she would find a means to vengeance in a world where her name had been slandered and her powerbase usurped by jealous sisters. No, the surface and it's madness had been the only refuge available. Thus had she found herself assaulting such caravans when she first arrived.
And thus did she find herself defending them now, with an insider's knowledge of how such raids worked. In fact, thanks to the time she had spent on the offensive side of such battles, the profits to be made defending against them had gone up considerably. Why, it was almost as if she had planned it that way.
But considerations like that would have to wait for less hectic moments. The only thing she was planning right now was the best path of corpses leading to the large confident creature whose superior armor and weapons marked him as the likely comander of the main force of this assault.

Succoria wandered comfortably through the dark woods. Darkness was hers. And her prey were far too busy to notice her. A distraction was drawing near.
A group of highwaymen gathered, preparing an assualt on an approaching caravan and the caravan's protectors were beggining to realize it. Unfortunately, this battle would be taking place in the light. The cover of trees would soon be gone.
And as the forces clashed, Succoria rushed out from the darkness and into the light. She slaughtered the archers in the rear who would have given support to the front.
Her blades flashed as she slashed and stabbed the flesh of humans, orcs and goblins. Bringing each down in turn out of a dozen. Some she killed painlessly, others she left collecting their own organs as they spilled out. It was bloody and it was savage. But to anyone who understood violence, it was art. Poetry punctuated by severed heads and other limbs. A pure form of expression.
The drow's attacks against the brigands spoke of a sharp singlemindedness. They spoke of drive, discipline and passion. They revealed both precision and a bold, sneering refusal to quit. And once she had worked her way through the archers, she would rush to the back of the main effort and press her attack. Those among the caravan or it's knights who hadn't realized that this dark elf was on their side, they were about to.

Name: Meikai
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Race: Human
Kung Fu: Five Ancestors Fist; a style originating in the South that combines the breathing methods and iron body of Da mo, the posture and dynamic power of Luohan, the precision and efficient movement of Emperor Taizu, the hand techniques and the complementary softness and hardness of White Crane and the agility and footwork of Monkey. The style teaches that each fight contains three battles (combat preparation, combat tactic and combat strategy), each taking place within three levels (conceptual/mind, physical/body, and spiritual/chi).
Although the exact method depends on the school, Five Ancestors is known for its large variety of power generational methods. Due to the distinct character of each ancestor, these methods change depending on the power required. Therefore different schools will teach different methods and focus on different forms.
The school of Five Ancestors Fist that Meikai learned focused heavily on developing power, fist forms with lethal strikes to the pressure points of the body, a relaxed body for dodging strikes and flowing gracefully with the energy of your opponent, sword forms, two-partner team forms, and forms for a comprehensive arsenal of improvised weapons even including rice bowls and chopsticks.
Belongings: Silver sword (a family heirloom fabled to have some sort of mystical power), Fine clothing, Lockpicking tools, Stolen food, A braid of hair worn around her wrist (from Suya)
Personality: Adventurous, Guileful, Tenacious, Devoted, Tireless
Legend of Awesome: A governor's daughter in the prosperous town of Dragon's Gate, Meikai was raised among much culture and luxury. Unfortunately for her family, Meikai had an adventurous spirit. As a child, she began sneaking out and pretending to be a normal villager. Soon she met a young thief named Suya and the two girls quickly becames closer than siblings. They did everything together. Years passed and they became an unstoppable pair.They would steal and fight and cause mayhem throughout the day and then return to the luxury of the governor's home at night.
Of course, Meikai's father eventually discovered the truth. And he was incensed. He blamed Suya for all of it, saying that she corrupted his daughter and he had her sentenced to execution. Meikai was bound in chains in her home to prevent a "foolish rescue attempt". But using the principles of Kung Fu that Suya had started to teach her, she was able to break the chains. She rushed against time itself to save her friend. But she was not fast enough.
Her father, the executioner and every single city guard fell that day. She buried Suya's head and body outside of the city that evening and fell asleep crying over the fresh grave. Ever since her father regained conciousness that day, he has sent soldiers to bring his own daughter to justice. Such men found her at that grave the next morning. And she has fought many more since. That is why she has come to Master Shi. If she doesn't improve her Kung Fu, one day she will lose.
