[b]Name:[/b] Ishtar Emryni

[b]Age:[/b] 24

[b]Race:[/b] Half-elven

[b]Height:[/b] 5'7"

[b]Weight:[/b] 140 lbs

[b]Personality:[/b] Living around men for much of her life has shaped her personality, if only slightly. She can be brisk and business-like, and also has a tendency to speak her mind when she wants to. Her sense of humor can range from bawdy to gallows, but she does enjoy a good joke. She can be a little more tactful when she wants, but usually prefers being direct when getting things done. In addition to that, she's fairly street-smart and people smart, and is proud of her bravery. However, she's also prone to depressive episodes and tends to have a short temper.

[b]History:[/b] Abandoned as a child for being half-elven, she lived on the streets until she was old enough to be taken in by one of the military-run orphanages. She was well taken care of, but all her training was for the purpose of being forced into the role of a soldier. She was 17 when she saw her first battle. It was a disaster that still haunts her to this day. Ishtar fled, knowing fully well that it would get her into trouble. After jumping from mercenary group to mercenary group, the young woman was able to join a guild of warriors who pledged to help the land. The Lions of Ryta were widely considered vigilantes to the government, but they were left alone due to the support of the people. In fact, the king was quick to turn to them in his time of need. Ishtar herself was famed for killing dragons - along with a small group, of course. Her heritage gave her a little edge, making her faster and stronger.

[b]Weapons:[/b] A longsword, a bow, and a quiver of arrows. Also has a dagger, but rarely uses it.
