Biography

Ser Cauthrien was born into a family of two elder brothers and in the years that came she gained another six siblings. As a child, she lived through the last eleven years of the Orlesian Occupation. A dirt-poor farmer’s daughter, always hungry and in danger of some Masked Noble deciding that she was worth more as sport than as fun. It was a clawing and desperate existence with little to no moments of joy, a constant fight for survival and one that many of Cauthrien’s siblings lost. Those losses hit the young girl hard, her mind calling her responsible. Her Second Eldest brother died a long and agonising death after Orlesians took off his hand for thievery to save his family and the wound infected. Liliath was hunted down by Orlesian nobles after she strayed into their lands and Cauthrien watched as she was torn apart by Orlesian Dogs, Orlesian accents laughing at the sight. Dava starved to death when Orlesians blockaded their village and Orlesians refused to leave food for them, or perhaps simply forgot. Haverad also wasted away, just a baby at the time.

Cauthrien was a soft and selfless child, but War turned her angry.

She had begun hunting and poaching in the local forests around her home when she was very young and by the time she was eight she was rather impressively skilled. She would often spend days away from home, trapping creatures or bringing down a deer with bow and arrow. She took pleasure and peace in the skills. It made her feel useful and powerful, whilst also pulling her away from her loud homelife. She also found herself getting stronger, bulkier. She now was known amongst the other poachers that frequented the forests. Don’t try to take the little Dragon’s kill.

It was in her ninth year that the young King Maric routed the Orlesian forces and freed Fereldan from their tyranny. With her siblings dead, Cauthrien felt guilt for how relieved and viscerally gleeful she felt at the Orlesian’s defeat. She didn’t truly deserve it, considering how incapable she had been to do anything to help. She had just hated and clawed for breath, until finally it was over. It was almost like she had been born drowning, only to be pulled from the Water at long last. However, even with them gone, Cauthrien’s life did not become significantly easier. Less dangerous perhaps, she felt the freedom she had never known, but the influx of banditry was immense and immediate. Cauthrien found herself fighting off men twice her size on an almost daily basis, but at the very least now she had a chance of winning.

It came to pass that in her fourteenth year, she came upon a man being beset by a large group of bandits. She had always held a sense of self-sacrifice with her throughout her young life and this was no different. She quickly came to the man’s aid, picking off some of the Bandits with her Bow before charging in with a stolen Orlesian sword and hacking until none were left.

To her great surprise, the man she saved turned out to be Loghain Mac'Tir, Hero of the Battle of Riverdane and one of King Maric’s personal friends and advisors. Honestly, Cauthrien was awestruck. The feeling was apparently mutual because Loghain offered her a position in his Military. It didn’t even take thought, Cauthrien wanted to fight, wanted a purpose, needed a reason to continue on after everything she had seen and done. She wanted to feel like she was useful, that she deserved to exist. She could think of no one she would rather pledge her life too. Loghain was a saviour to her. If not for him, the Orlesian Monsters that had dogged her childhood and killed her family would still be abusing and infecting her homeland. She would have died along with them, eventually. Now her life might mean something and if she spent it, it would be for a good cause.

Misc Things
FEATURES There is a blunt and very old scar down one temple, with a few smaller jagged marks across her cheeks. Her skin shows an outdoor lifestyle with cracks and lines around her eyes. List of scars here.

BUILD: Cauthrien is built to last. She is tall and exceedingly muscular with a straight and atheletic build. She has very slight curves and a defined physique with surprisingly little odd proportions to speak of due to the fact that she is ambidextrous and has no dominant side. However she is not ripped and tends towards smoothe, clean lines and form.
POSTURE: Straight and contained. She appears tense most of the time, powerful and prepared. All her movements are solid if somewhat graceful. She looks dependable as a rock, always standing to attention or in a parade rest.
MANNERISMS: Reserved and small movements, her muscles tense minisculy on occasion but in general she remains tall and straight. She tends to flinch or react to any unexpected or loud noise as well as instinctively hovering away from physical contact or just proximity to people she does not know well.
REPRESENTATIVE COLOUR: Silver greens and dark greys. Often seen wearing warm and dark browns like leaf litter or felled wood.
MANNER OF DRESS: She is always wearing some form of armour, be it softer leather or her usual chainmail. She does not usually use full-plate, prefering some manuverability.
MANNER OF SPEECH: Careful and polite when around strangers. She is usually quite reticent, tending to brisker and sharper sentences. Her speech is often clipped or biting when she wants it to be, but she can sound very wholesome and honestly warm.
RELIGION: She has long since decided that she does not need to know.
MYER-BRIGGS TYPE: ISTJ

ALIGNMENT: Lawful Neutral
