[Center]Name: Ryder Takumi

Gender: Female

Age: 14

Hair: Ryder has blonde hair going slightly past her shoulder. She keeps her hair down and it looks a bit unkempt and messy. It is slightly curly but occasionally she will straighten it to make herself look regal.

Personality: Ryder is a very playful girl, always loving to have fun and may not be the most mature of people. She is very passionate about her goals once she sets her mind to something. Ryder can be very stubborn and times and she is always adamant about what she does. Ryder may be young but she hates to be treated like she is weaker than others, although it may be true. Ryder hasn't spend nearly any time fighting so she is not educated at all in means of fighting. She was a very sheltered type but always wished she could help a militia group fight the Risen. Alas she was too young at the time.

History: 

During the war, Ryder was very sheltered. Nothing really happened to her during this time until her village was attacked by the Risen. A few of the men in her village went out to defend, but Ryder felt she could also help, so she escaped her house to see what was happening. Next thing she knew, she was face to face with a Revenant. Soon the new militia force led by Chrom, The Shepards, had arrived on the scene. Many of the stronger Shepards were busy on the front lines defending the village as a whole so Ryder was stuck on her own as the stray Revenant swiped at her. Large, strong attacks came down on her as she stumbled away from them, narrowly dodging its attacks. After a few dodges, Ryder falls down, unable to stand due to the fear of the much larger opponent. The Revenant stood over Ryder, raising its claw to send the final blow to her small body, she began to tear up realizing the end. Just as the beast began swiping its claw down at her, a girl hopped in the way, the clawing bouncing off a little girl's staff.
"I got you!" The girl said. Ryder looks up wide eyed, tears still streaming down her face as another man quickly hops towards the Risen and slashes it a few times with his iron sword. The Revenant is quickly knocked to the ground and the speedy man quickly plunges his blade into its chest finishing it. Both the girl and the man, run to Ryder and help her to her feet.
"It's okay girl, I'm Lissa of the Shepards and we are gonna rescue you!" She smiled, drying Ryder's eyes. The man steps up to Ryder next, kneeling down next to her.
"Dang, you did a good job trying to hold that guy off for us! You deserve a reward for that! I am Gaius, another member of the Shepards." Gaius drew a sweet from his pocket putting it in Ryder's hand. After that both Lissa and Gaius guarded Ryder until the village was safe. 
"You would make a good Shepard one day!" Gaius said to her. 
"One day I think you might even be like me." 

Growing up in a developed village, Ryder never saw much fighting or action until that day. She never left the village she was raised in. Ryder spent her days in the stables, taking care of the horses due to her fondness of animals. She now wishes to head to the capital of Ylisse, Ylisstol and help reconstruct after the war. After Ryder heard the tales of the Shepards and the New Exalt Chrom and seeing them in action, she fantasized about becoming one of them, wishing she could be on the front lines of battle. Ryder has looked up to Gaius since that day, practicing in her backyard with a tree branch, swinging it around like his sword or a lance. She always kept up with what the Shepards were doing during the war, which is where she first learned of the Pegasus Knights. She always was excited about the idea of being able to soar on the back of a pegasus it is another of her goals which her affinity of animals may help her achieve.

Class: Thief (She has always wanted to become a pegasus knight but has never seen a pegasus. So I was wondering if she could be a thief for now but soon meet pegasi when she meets everyone and realize that she would make a good Pegasus knight. If not I can just make her a pegasus knight instead.)
