[color=EEE8AA][b]Appearance:[/b][/color][indent]
Standing tall and proud at a cool 5'7", this warrior keeps her body lean and muscular. Her skin is tanned from years of campaigning, even though her face with her dark brown eyes and unusually colored hair is usually hidden underneath her helmet.[/indent]

In battle, Renee now dons her freshly crafted and enchanted armor plates mixed with hardened leather over a layer of padded cloth. It was crafted mainly by Renee during her time on leave, but the finishing touches and enchantments were done by her father. Though for the most part plain and utilitarian, Renee couldn't help but add gold accents and trims to parts of her armor alongside more richer colors of cloth. In more casual settings, she prefers a loose blouse, a good set of breeches, and a dependable pair of boots.[/indent]
[color=EEE8AA][b]Bio:[/b][/color][indent]
The first-born child in a magically talented family, her father a now-talented runesmith, her mother, a magical researcher, Renee grew up with plenty of love and wanting for nothing. When she was younger, her father still just a blacksmith who was developing his latent skills with runes with the help of her mother, she often aided him around his forge as best she could throughout her childhood and into adulthood. She took to the workings of metal far better than magic despite her mother's best efforts, though her two younger brothers quickly made up for her deficit.

However, what did take were the stories and myths of Tour de Rouge's rich culture and history, particularly the ones of the monster hunters from days of old. When it was time to craft her own set of weapons and armor for her rite of passage, she worked with feverish glee. She devoted herself to honing her fighting style, to crafting her own personal armaments so that they would be truly be extensions of herself. Arms and skills that would prove useful after she was drafted into the Choir.

Though the Choir had long since effectively standardized and mobilized the greatest fighting force on the Obivec Isles, there were still traces of Tour de Rouge's heritage lingering in it. A heritage that thrived in utilizing the strangest of weaponry and fighting styles, where fierce individuality led to unbridled passion and the wildest of heroes. Those that continued that heritage, lived it, embodied it, people like Renee, were often split into individual squads. These squads formed the core of the Choir's fringe forces: the most harrying skirmishers, the most devious trappers, the most cunning spies, the most farthest ranging scouts, and countless other jobs that larger forces were simply not suited and trained for.

Due to Renee's natural talents, she found herself attached to a squad of skirmishers that prayed hard to Aramice and struck even harder against Loyalitat whenever they had the chance. After a time, Renee became impregnated and had to take a leave back to Tour de Rouge in order to properly take care of herself and her new child. By the time her child was born and Renee felt confident enough to rejoin the Choir's forces, the only bridge across the Horizon river was burned down.[/indent]

Determined and focused, Renee likes to get things done, and bringing the songs of the Choir to the rest of the Obivec isles is something that certainly needs to be done.[/indent]

[color=EEE8AA][b]Inventory:[/b][/color] 
[indent][sub]
[color=EEE8AA]◇ Armor:[/color] Enchanted to be extremely light, to Renee it feels like just another layer of clothing.
[color=EEE8AA]◇ Shield:[/color] A large, thick metal shield. She doesn't utilize it often, preferring instead to use her sword with both hands. On it lies the sigil of Tour de Rouge.
[color=EEE8AA]◇ Longsword:[/color] A plain blade.
[color=EEE8AA]◇ (2) Javelin(s):[/color] A plain javelin, weighted for throwing.
[color=EEE8AA]◇ Travel Cloak:[/color] A deep green, tattered edge cloak with a freshly restored stripe sewn horizontally across it, it has seen her through many battles.

[color=EEE8AA][b]Skills:[/b][/color] [indent][sub]
[color=EEE8AA]◇ Air Mage:[/color] Proficient in manipulating the air around her, Renee often finds a wide range of uses for her magic. She has done everything from using it to bring over a good cup of coffee, to using it to lighten loads and decrease travel time by days, to incorporating it into her own unique fighting style.
[color=EEE8AA]◇ Chasseur:[/color] Having grown up on tales of wild hunters, each with their own fierce and unique fighting style, Renee has spent years developing her own. Despite her favored weapon being a longsword, her fighting style is more akin to that of a brawlers, using her magic to jump higher and leap farther to outmaneuver and get in close to an opponent and pummel them with a variety of elbows, knees, and her own head to catch her opponent off-guard before slamming down her blade. 
[color=EEE8AA]◇ Infantry:[/color] When using her shield, Renee adopts a much more solid stance and becomes much more reactionary. She often waits for her opponent to strike first before again using her magic to give herself bursts of speed to catch her opponent off-guard.
[color=EEE8AA]◇ Blacksmith:[/color] Through a childhood of helping and working with her father, Renee is a skilled blacksmith
[color=EEE8AA]◇ Runesmith:[/color] Only has rudimentary skills in runesmithing
[color=EEE8AA]◇ Languages:[/color] Abbalic
