    Personality:
	Christina is a stoic sort, rarely speaking unless spoken to first and almost never showing any emotion stronger than mild interest. While she detests mindless violence or any kind of malicious action, she has no issue wounding or even killing for 'the right reasons.' This generally means she won't get involved with conflict until she's attacked personally or until she's ordered to. Beneath her rock hard exterior a gentler side is buried, usually only glimpsed when she tries to take in stray animals.
    Brief Backstory:
	Christina is the only child of Marcus de Kiermo, lord of a tiny, backwater barony deep in the south of Thaln. With the baroness dead of sickness and no male children, Christina became the heir apparent to her father's lands, and so she was sent to the capital to join the Iron Rose Knights and bring the de Kiermo name to light.
    Equipment:
	Christina wears a light suit of armor passed down from her grandmother, made to sacrifice the protection of full plate for extra mobility. Conversely, she carries a massive tower shield larger than herself and thicker than almost any armor. For offense, she has a thin shortsword and a swordbreaker dagger.
    Skills:
	Christina is unusually strong, able to wield her massive shield relatively easily. She also knows a little magic, which she uses to accompany her shield.

Shove - An intense wave of force, usually using Christina's shield as a conduit, strong enough to throw a grown man off his feet.

Ward - A magical defense spell which blocks nonphysical attacks up to a certain point. This spell can be cast on an object to protect it, and has a medium length incantation. Overlapping a Ward with a Barrier violently cancels both out.
