It also serves to accent her complexion and hair color, as well as conceal weapons easily. 　　　She prefers otherwise to attire herself in a professional manner, in accordance with her Order: Long, fitting, black cassock with gilt laurel edges along the cuffs and high collar, double-breasted, but without the white collar insert. It is utilitarian and militaristic in nature, but still easily points her out as a dedicated member of the Church. 　　　 　　　Always carries a particularly sturdy rosary. Plus a spare.

[b][color=c0c0c0]Personality:[/color][/b] 　　　 　　　Dame Mary Hale (or Sister, as the Anglicans don’t recognize her position) is an extremely professional warrior for God and the Vatican (That's God first, Rome second). But she is also an inquisitive and healthy young lady with a keen sense for detail. Sometimes, these two things fight with one another. This has led to a series of particularly interesting sessions at Confession for those Monsignors unfamiliar with Mary. 　　　 　　　She truly wants to make lasting friendships, but her upbringing in the Vatican and transient nature of her occupation make that extremely difficult. She takes her vows seriously, and tends to speak with humble but blunt honesty; not because she likes shocking reactions from others, but because it was how she was brought up. Mary considers it polite and respectful, often not understanding why others take offense. Keeping one foot on Earthly and one on Heavenly matters has made her seem a little aloof, but in fact she’s just a little awkward. Even literal. Turns of phrase can sometimes confuse the headstrong papist. But sometimes, [i]just sometimes[/i], Mary would prefer to merely be one of the girls. 　　　 　　　Then she goes to work. When taking direct action in pursuance of her assignment, Dame Hale becomes an unrelenting Agent of Our Lord’s Church, employing every resource at her disposal to root out and obliterate the Soulless. Oftentimes, if the concept of stealth has been abandoned, Mary will acquire a beautiful but terrible aspect to her eyes, then begin hacking and stabbing and perforating her enemies in a dervish-like manner, screaming and hissing biblical verses in ways that make pious mens’ feet sweat. 　　　Generosity is a saintly virtue. Young Mary has gifts, and she means to share. [b][color=c0c0c0]Habits:[/color][/b] Mumbling in Latin when annoyed, rubbing her rosary [b][color=c0c0c0]Hobbies:[/color][/b] Hobby? She trains. Horrible, punishing exercise. Knuckle pushups. Fingertip pushups. Pullups in cathedral archways with buckets of water tethered to her belt. Unending series of forms in the catacombs in pitch darkness. Running in weights. Leaping through obstacle courses and abandoned architecture at a dead sprint. Her hobby is hammering herself into the tip of God’s sword here on Earth. And singing.

In recent years, they have come under some decline, both in numbers and finance. It was hoped that the two male heirs would marry favorably and assist in this endeavor, possibly even bringing up the status of their people. In fact, such an arrangement was underway with a poorer family in the Peerage, landowners without the means to fully take advantage of their land's production. Such a mutually beneficial set of pairings was not to occur, as a good amount of both families were laid to waste by a rush attack of Ryne in the small hours of the morning. It was during one of her brother's engagement parties. Very sad. She was still a child at the time. The Knightly Hale line was cut short, people that had served the with distinction now found their assets impounded indefinitely by the Crown. [b][color=c0c0c0]Your personal life:[/color][/b] With no male heirs to inherit the family's estate, and women forbidden by British law of taking the title of Knight (Dame), Mary was sent to live with cousins. They were a merchant family that spent half of their time in northern France and looked upon their relative-by-marriage as something of a dutiful burden. Her higher placed heritage wasn't exactly a selling point for them, either. She was treated as something of a second class citizen in this family, looked after but otherwise largely ignored. A fierce anger grew in Mary, one which had no outlet. Relations were strained further. They did do her one massive favor, though, even if they weren't aware. When she was barely a teenager, Mary was sent off to Rome for training. (read: To get her out of their hair) It was unusual for someone as young as she to take up the same kind of training as Priests and the Swiss Guard, but no sacrifice was too much for her new adoptive family (sarcasm font required here). The joke was on them, though - two days before the entourage reached Rome, a small band of Hraew ate her chaperones while she hid in the nearby woods. She stumbled into the Vatican days later, hungry and exhausted, papers of intent in hand. As the years passed, Mary was raised under the tutelage of Papal scholars and Captains of the Swiss Guard. She learned anything that anyone was willing to teach her, even some of the ne'er-do-wells of Rome's underclass in her free time. Her long years there, much longer than the vast majority of English Gentry and/or casual trainees of foreign Clergy, afforded her the time to pursue dedicated training in a variety of disciplines. It also allowed her to apprentice under a series of Priests and Papal Knights, during which time she engaged in envious travel opportunities, learning even more and slowly forging her into a professional Hunter. When she came of age, Mary Ignatia Hale was given an opportunity to return home to seek her fortune there, or to remain in the service of the Church. Her long standing history with the Vatican and unusual circumstances, not to mention the many people she had met and impressed gave her a further opportunity, if she so grasped it. If she became an official member of the Church, she was offered a position unheard of for someone of her age and lack of exterior plumbing. And she jumped on it, hard. Mary took simple vows, making her an Apostolic Sister in the service of the Vatican directly. A council of Bishops, with Papal nod, granted her permission to administer Sacramental duties, almost on par with that of a Priest. Immediately afterward (one would think it was planned), an offer was extended to Sister Mary Hale from the Holy Order of St. Sylvester, giving her further title of Dame within the Church. The Knights of St. Sylvester, in recent decades, had developed another, more provocative title among the general populous: [i]"Soulless Hunters"[/i]. Now the equal of a Holy Knight of the Papacy, she was introduced to the Grand Cross of her Order (guy in charge), who gave her assignment in London at [url=http://cdn.ltstatic.com/2009/March/NL277860_942long.jpg]St. Etheldreda's Church[/url], in the Holbrook district and one of fewer Catholic holdings left in Great Britain. It is located between the West End and Cheapside, making it a very eclectic section of the city. A private room and study are at her disposal. She plies her trade there, sometimes openly and sometimes not, locating and hunting Soulless as directed or as she finds them. If cover is required, she is obstinately the Choir Director. [b][color=c0c0c0]What you want for your life:[/color][/b] Mary wants what anyone else does: A sense of self determination and respect. She has climbed higher toward that goal than many women could ever hope for in that time and place. People who understand who she is and what she does know to listen when she talks business, despite her pretty face and reputably whimsical gender. Getting her family's holdings back would be nice, too, but she is unaware of how that can be done legally, if at all since her family is either dead or absorbed into other prominent lineages at this time. Mostly, Mary wants to uphold her duties to her Order. One could say that they've given her another chance at a productive life. One could also say that the Church provided an opportunity, and she dug that opportunity out of rock with blood and her bare hands. Mary can feel a war coming between the living and the dead, and believes that it is soon. She intends to be ready.

It is located in the Holbrook district, sandwiched between the West End and the mercantile Cheapside. It was constructed before either was a borough, long before London annexed the surrounding area. St. Etheldreda's itself consists of a chapel (upper church) and a crypt or undercroft. The Ely House and St. Etheldreda's Church, collectively, are referred to as the Ely Palace. It was constructed as the stronghold for the First Bishop of Ely, and is very castle-like in engineering. The structure itself has every feature one would expect from a manor estate of the period, and is staffed with cloistered Sisters and some lay folk. As British law forbids the practice of Catholic Mass, the Church cannot collect tithes from parishioners; it sustains itself primarily by growing strawberries. Said strawberries are of exceptional quality, known across the whole of Europe. They are sold fresh with respectable demand or preserved for culinary and medicinal use. Fun Fact: The Ely House also features a profit-generating tavern called "Ye Olde Mitre", technically part of the estate but without direct access. A cherry tree grows just next to it. The entire complex is like a village inside of London, not fully self-sustaining but capable of a long haul if cut off from the rest of the city. Mary takes rooms in a section of the Ely House overlooking the exterior and courtyard (Quadrangle). They are comprised of a bedroom and study/sitting room, with access to water service and fireplaces. It has mortared stone walls and is furnished simply, with utility and professional duties in mind (bed, chairs, desk, table, couch, basin alcove, wardrobe etc), though there is room to receive visitors. It was originally quarters for visiting priests or bishops, not part of the rectory proper. Meals are taken communally, with the Bishop, ranking officials within the Church, and any dignitaries.[/sub] [hider=Additional Maps & Images] [center][img]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9a/Ely_House_1704_Anonymous.jpg[/img] [img]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Epg8g3xfntU/Uh791Lzu2oI/AAAAAAAAA0o/yRgPcfwcf5Q/s1600/Ely+Place+composite.jpg[/img][/center] [/hider] [/hider] [hr][hr] [hider=Relations & Clues] [hr][hr] [h1][center][b][i][color=2956b2]The Notebook[/color][/i][/b][/center][/h1][hr] [h2][center][b][i][color=c0c0c0]Sister Mary Ignatia Hale[/color][/i][/b][/center][/h2] [center][img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/4b/8b/f9/4b8bf9bf56e16949792ee05fe7b3e8c5.jpg[/img][/center] [center][i][color=silver]"Blessed be the Lord my strength, who teaches my hands to war and my fingers to fight."[/color][/i][/center][hr][hr][center]║ [color=yellow]☯[/color] Neutral ║ [color=orange]✿[/color] Friend ║ [color=cyan]❅[/color] BFF ║ [color=pink]♡[/color] Infatuation ║ [color=red]❤[/color] Love ║ [color=d3d3d3]⚜[/color] Respects ║ ║ [color=ed145b]❦[/color] Family ║ [color=limegreen]☣[/color] Tense ║ [color=red]☢[/color] Dislikes ║ [color=gray]☠[/color] Enemy ║[/center][hr][hr] [center][color=red]❤[/color] [b][color=ffffff]Patris[/color][/b] [color=red]❤[/color] [i]"The Big Guy.
