[b]Personality:[/b]
Marianne is quite the interesting persona to all that happen to stumble upon her. Despite the fact that she’s a Dark Mage and generally looked upon with fear and scorn for meddling in the forbidden arts, she is soft-spoken and polite a good majority of the time. So much so in fact, that she often stresses the proper difference between a lady and a heathen to anyone caring to listen.

That being said, Marianne’s favorite topic of discussion would have to be the many ways in which to incapacitate her foes. She’s the kind of person who would gladly explain to you when and how you’ll die over a cup of tea. She does not fear death, claiming that death is only the next stage in Naga’s course. Of course, that doesn’t excuse her rather…odd habits.

One such habit seems to be a fascination with eyes. Human eyes, dragon eyes…really anything that moves around in the socket and blinks. Probably has something to do with her covered right eye, though she’ll momentarily drop the regal air and proceed to go into something akin to a panic attack whenever people mention it.

And yet despite all of these…interesting features, Marianne is a person that genuinely cares for those around her. That is, those who can tolerate her poetic and morbid nature. Of course, with friendship comes loyalty and protection. The others may be bound by their morality, but Marianne is a girl who is willing to do any and all things for the sake of her friends. Anything…even if it means taking a few lives through dirty manners.

[b]Biography: [/b]
A distant nomad from the land of Plegia, Marianne would rather not speak of her past, though it probably has to do with that eye-patch she’s always wearing. She hasn’t claimed it to be host to any magical powers, so there’s no reason for the secrecy. Even so, she will lash out without thought or reason whenever people question it.

Skimming the whole eye thing aside, Marianne’s mother taught her what she knew of magic while her father helped her to eventually read and write, inspiring her to create her own spells. In the present day, Marianne travels around simply for the sake of doing so, finding interest in the stories all around her.

Recently though, her interests lie in the current religious crusade going on. Usually not one to get involved in such stupid things like warfare, she remained neutral no more when news of a “Champion of Naga” reached her ears. Now she seeks to meet this hero of the world…if only to strive off her boredom and give her amusement.[/hider]

[hider=Solanne][b]Name:[/b] Solanne

[b]Class:[/b] Mercenary

[b]Age:[/b] 24

[b]Sex:[/b] Female

[b]Appearance:[/b] [center][img]http://mblogthumb3.phinf.naver.net/20140422_122/dukedevil_1398177391117U1Pwu_JPEG/%BA%ED%C7%CF.jpg?type=w800[/img][/center]

[b]Equipment:[/b] Iron Sword (x1), Vulnerary (x2)

[b]Personality:[/b] 
Bright, chipper, and just overall optimistic, if one were to call Solanne a tomboy, she’d jokingly pound them on the shoulder before saying that they weren’t doing her enough justice. Yeah, she’s one of those girls. To be fair though, her laid-back and happy persona is normally a fresh relief to all the war-mongering going on.

It usually takes something truly horrendous or traumatic to dampen Solanne’s burning spirit and joking nature. Did we mention the laid-back attitude? Yes? Good, then now you know that it also takes something incredibly dire for Solanne to be taken seriously.

Despite her initial cheery front though, she does admit that her life has been crappy so far. Only the most observant and perceptive can see through her idiotic grin to see the pain swelling up inside. Because of her own past, Solanne is dead set determined to create a future where everyone can smile freely. As such, she is usually one to put everyone, friends and allies alike, above her own well-being. She is fiercely loyal to those she wants to protect and will do just about anything for them, earning her the nickname of “Crimson Hound”.

[b]Biography:[/b] 
Ironically enough, most people tend to think of “Crimson Hound” as some sort of deranged killer bent on ending all life. People usually don’t think that maybe she earned the nick-name due to her unyielding loyalty? Oh well. That makes Solanne laugh every time.

Hailing from the nation of Valm, Solanne lost both her parents to Plegian bandits at a fairly early age and spent the remainder of her childhood being raised as an orphan. Most children would have caved into depression at that age, but Solanne took her parent’s teachings by heart and desired to help out all that she could. Soon, she was everyone’s “big sister” at the orphanage before finally becoming old enough to wield a sword.

Soon enough, she set out on a journey to travel the lands, taking up the job as a Mercenary to provide constant funding to the orphanage. She still visits from time to time, despite her many travels. However, war was always near, and Solanne soon found a new reason to fight when news of the Church of Naga’s Crusades began. Seeking to protect her adopted family from the carnage of warfare, Solanne sought out the supposed Champion of Naga in hopes of ending the violence before it spread to Valm.

It should also be noted that Solanne has a history with a certain Dark Mage. Whether or not she’s on good relations with Marianne has yet to be discovered.[/hider]
