(Looking at Balthier and Lethodus >.>) [hider=Leonora, the Flames of Deliverance] [center] [h2][color=Darkslateblue]Leonora Duarte[/color][/h2] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/37/9f/9c/379f9c6bc2e3a68929db7233074447e9.jpg[/img] [b][color=Darkslateblue]Appearance:[/color][/b] [color=848484]Leonora's original look of her sunny blonde hair and forest green eyes have been replaced with the signature appearance of the Duarte Family, who are a Clan of Nobles who have been appointed to their position in Lorinth. With Silverish hair that almost seems like an ethereal white and piercing blood red eyes, these are the prominent traits of the family. Being twenty-seven years of age and having smooth pale skin with no blemishes, standing firm at a height of five feet and seven inches. The majority of her facial features are covered by a mask leaving only her nose and mouth visible to be seen.[/color] [b][color=Darkslateblue]Biography:[/color][/b] [color=848484]Leonora was not always from the Duarte family, it was a title that offered great honor to those who accepted but in return had to reject all of their past. Taking on the family name of Duarte at the age of ten, it symbolized her training that would affect her life for its whole entirety. Coming under the tutelage of the Duarte family, a part of the Order of Cinders who provided users of Pyromancy and raised them to prevent the onslaught of undead from ever happening by attacking in different angles. They are most known for their ethereal silver hair and eerie red eyes that compliment each other in an unnatural and intimidatingly cool beauty. Essentially, all members of the Duarte family are in the Order of Cinders or are being trained to become a member and are in some shape or form, pyromancers. Sorting members into groups of four representing the ten saintly orders of Lorinth with one master, two apprentices and a representative for the three when they're on business. Along with an eleventh group as a replacement should an entire side be somehow annihilated, being a blend of the other ten Orders. The Duartes raised each and every one of their students with a religious zeal, they were a family of a fierce religious belief that bordered on insanity for some people. Leonora was no exception for this upbringing and grew to believe with blind faith, a potent ability for one to believe in their ideals with no hesitation by the possibility if they could be wrong. From this trait of the Duarte Family, their member of forty-four people were powerful advocators of pyromancy with their specialized use. Before all of this, however, Leonora was a simple orphan that received a second chance in life when the church extended its hand towards her. Picking her up from the lowest point of her life and the possible end for her if not for the intervention of the Order. Being raised and imbued with great faith that was customary of Lorinth, she grew to become a priest of the Order. However, by the scout of the Duarte family, it was just like that when she was plucked and placed into her new family. Accepting the opportunity to do more good that she would ever be able to do inside the Order, she was convinced that it allowed her to hand out deliverance to the unfortunate souls of the undead who were damned. Donning on the unique mask of the Duarte, she began her life with her new family and began to learn more about her faith along with the ways to cleanse the undead. With the Duarte family being collaborators with the Order of Cinders, they often sought to resolve problems that the Order needed to be handled. Giving experience to their apprentices to fight the undead and relieve them from the world, it would be their flames to cleanse their souls and part them off to the next life. Eventually, as time went on, the whispers that Leonora would hear will become a commonplace thing that she would understand what they are. They were the silent cries of the undead, echoing across and being perceived by not only her but everyone in the family from what she understood. It was explained as the reward for blinding herself when she donned the mask and closed her sight to the outside world to focus on the inside. Granting her and everyone who went through this training to hear the undead that was being controlled unwillingly be the dark magic of necromancy. Uncomfortable, was what it could be called for the next several years as whispers would be heard wherever she went with her master until she learned how to control it and furthered her training. Their training with tasks from the Order of Cinders gave them much experience with the undead and knowing members of the Order. It was long after their indoctrination into the family that they were introduced into something greater than pyromancy or Ebon pyromancy which was the arts of fighting that they were grown accustomed to. A singular being that was bound to not one person, but the entirety of the Duarte family with a cage made of black flame that clashed with blue flames of the demon. It was a demon under the name of Xeroth, was bound by the advance formation of pyromancy that restricted the flames of the demon and itself into a prison of opposing flames. While a threat for everyone, it was still a potent tool in ridding the threat of the undead with the help of the demon. Combining both the art of Ebon pyromancy with the twisted demon's own form flame magic, they created something more diverse in many aspects that could be applied to much more. With flames of blue and black, its nature was unique as a fire that burned the inside of the person and consumed them from the inside. Igniting the scattered ashes of humanity in the undead or the sins in the souls of people themselves in reverse, it was a flame of deliverance from their suffering in any form. It was a contract of mutual acceptance of each other, signing over one's soul in exchange for mastery of its own flame over to its new user. The power of the contract was prominent as the signed showed despite its power being diluted with each contract its stretched to filled. After the contract with the flame demon, it was a quick change over a day that drenched their hair into the unearthly silver color of their masters and piercingly red eyes that resembled theirs as well. After a year after the contract between the demon and the apprentices, their tutelage would end as they would work in different places. It was here that their assigned groups would take place, as those under the ten orders would be assigned to their tasks while the eleventh group were essentially recruits given to the Order of Cinders and no longer under the banner of the Duarte. With no objection on where she was delivered to, she will be using her expertise as she would be a focus of deliverance for the damned.[/color] [b][color=Darkslateblue]Personality:[/color][/b] [color=848484]Leonora is a person with a lot of things to say but tends to be quiet unless spoken to. Those who have known Leonora have seen her be benevolent and kind to those who truly cannot fend or fight for themselves. Showing much altruism but to a sensible degree as she must survive as well to continue her cycle of relieving the world of its troubles besides from the undead itself. With a steady fast belief in her faith, she puts it into whatever she is working with.[/color] [/center] [/hider]
