[center][h1][color=ed1c24]Fia Rozenkreuz[/color][/h1][/center] Fia Rozenkreuz would be considered to be a beautiful lady thanks for her fiery hair, her beautifully white skin and her beautiful body... Only if it wasn't for the stern expression that she wore like a mask or the half plate armor that she wore. Fia could have been even a model if she wasn't raised by the Rozenkreuz order. Instead of a lady, Fia was a knights. Strong, disciplined, an outstanding archer and distinguished warrior. Nimble, fearless, with an iron will. Fia was already one of the biggest promises in the Rozenkreuz order even at the young age of 16 years. Fia had the blood of the founders running through her veins. It was expected that she would be a strong summoner, but no one expected that she would turn out to be such a strong one. But she was still had the blood of the founders in her. And for good or for bad, she was treated differently from others inside the order. Her parents insisted for her to go to the Aether Bridge Academy. They wanted her to know the world outside the order, to do something other than go to battlefields, after all, she was still a 16 years girl, a very trained 16 years old girl, but a young girl nonetheless. [hr] That morning... [hr] Fia stood in front of a mirror, brushing her hair and taking care of her appearance. Not because she cared about it, but because a member of the order should walk with pride, his figure should inspire both admiration and respect. Wearing herself became almost a ritual after doing it so many times. Covering her chest with bandages, wearing a pair of padded leather gloves, going up to her shoulders and carefully fastening them together with each other. A leather, long combat skirt covering her legs and the last thing, her signature half plate armor. After wearing it, she needed to fasten it carefully to the padded leather gloves and to the rest of her armor. That would be the first time she would meet with other 'normal' teenagers. The first time she would experience such thing. Even if she was an honored, disciplined knight, she was still very nervous and rather excited about it. [color=ed1c24]"Calm down. Remember who you are. Remember the blood that run through your veins. Do not forget your duties as a Rozenkreuz knight"[/color] she said, taking a deep breath in front of the mirror, calming herself down. [color=ed1c24][i]"I know that I should probably wear something less intimidating, similar to what other modern teenagers wear..."[/i][/color] she thought to herself, picking up the traditional mask, that every member of the order wore when going outside.

She spent her entire life training and living with them, old habits were difficult to get rid of. Wearing the mask over her head, she walked to the door. [color=ed1c24]"Erin, lets go."[/color] She said to her summon, a beautiful little thing that was sitting over the wardrobe, dangling her legs happily. [color=ed1c24]"And please, behave yourself when we get there... I dont want to give off a bad impression"[/color] Fia said, looking to Erin. [color=fff79a]"Alrighty!"[/color] Erin said, jumping out of the wardrobe, landing in front of her in a flourished pose. [color=fff79a]"But i never said anything about helping you to make new friends..."[/color] Erin said, whispering with a mischievous smile [color=ed1c24]"Did you say something?"[/color] Fia asked, turning to her. [color=fff79a]"Only that i am looking forward the new friends [i]we[/i] will make. [sup]But I'll make sure to make you drop your rigid and formal facade![/sup]"[/color] she said, whispering the last part as she turned her face, giggling and hopping cheerfully to the door. [hr] At the Academy... [hr] [color=ed1c24]"I knew i shouldn't have brought the mask..."[/color] Fia whispered, blushing heavily as she walked through the entrance hall. Everyone was looking at the strange, armored figure in the strange mask. She stood out there like a sore thumb. [color=fff79a]"Hey! On the other hand, its very fortunate that you have your mask on right now, otherwise everyone would see your face red with embarrassment!"[/color] Erin said, with a cute laugh. [color=ed1c24]"Te conversare!"[/color] Fia said, trying her hardest to ignore the impulse to cover her mask with her hands. Fia was standing in front of a weird machine she had never seen before. She saw the other students touching it, but she has never used something like that before, so she just stood in front of it, awkwardly, not knowing what to do. [color=fff79a]"Lemme try it! Lemme try it!"[/color] Erin said, jumping behind her. [color=fff79a]"Shoo~ Shoo~~ You clearly don't know what you're doing. Let me try it."[/color] the cute summon said, playfully pushing her away from the machine. A few moments passed, and Erin was still looking at the screen, puzzled. [color=ed1c24]"So... do you how it wo-"[/color] Fia tried to say, only to be interrupted by Erin. [color=fff79a]"Someone knows how this thing works? Me and Fia, the weird masked lady wearing a half plate armor here, don't have the slightest clue about what we should do!"[/color] Erin said in a loud voice, sticking her tongue out of her mouth with a playful grimace. [color=ed1c24]"E-E-Erin!!"[/color] Fia whispered looking to her. [color=fff79a]"Come on, no one will help you if you keep wearing that intimidating mask and acting so coldly!"[/color] Fia said, taking the mask out of Fia's face with a quick jump.
