[b]⚔ Name(s):[/b]
Rivianne █████

[b]⚔ Age:[/b]
53 years-old

[b]⚔ Gender:[/b]
Female

[b]⚔ Race:[/b]
Half-Elf

[b]⚔ Appearance:[/b]
Rivianne is has a well-built physique brought forth by arduous training with the blade ever since her youth. The no nonsense look in her pale blue eyes and silvery-white give off an image of coldness when combined with her height and graceful poise. The air of solemn elegance—not unlike that of snow-ridden graveyard—extends to her attire and crystal clear voice as well. Perhaps, the most unique aspect of Rivianne's appearance is her silvery  longsword—a sacred weapon of elven origins bequeathed to her by her former master—which glows with a faint, pale blue aura in the presence of evil.

[b]⚔ Personality:[/b]
Rivianne is a cold person, just like her looks suggest. Not in the sense of being heartless and cruel, but rather in the sense of being hard to approach. Most of the time, she comes across as the kind of beauty best admired from afar, like a glacier, or snowy mountain range. However, just like those wonders of nature, she'll only reveal her true self—a kind and caring knight—to those willing to brave her icy façade. An exception to this are children, who Rivianne is actually very fond of. She'll do anything in her power, and even beyond it, to make sure no child ever comes to harm. In fact, the only times when she'll break her dispassionate persona is when she's the presence of those who bring harm to children, regardless of their reasoning.

[b]⚔ Class/Skills[/b]
First and foremost, Rivianne is a Paladin, a holy champion sworn to a deity or a cause. Specifically, she's a follower of an old, barely extant order—The Knights of the Threshold—who follow an Kelemvor's doctrine, serving as the Gods' arm in the battle against the spread of undead while abandoning their ties to worldly matters, symbolized by the act of forfeiting their family names, titles, and ranks.

Additionally, Rivianne has a strong affinity for cold magic, thanks to her birth circumstances. These innate arcane abilities are a great boon, which can allow her to excel even higher when combined with her knightly talents.

[b]⚔ Equipment:[/b] 
• █████: An eerily light and ancient, silvery elven longsword whose true name has been lost a long time ago. Its blade will glow with a pale blue aura when in presence of any evil of supernatural origins. It seems to have been a much mightier weapon in its days of glory, but any secrets it once held were forgotten along with its name. The only clue about the blade's true history lies in an elvish song—a melodramatic ode to the Moon's untouchable beauty—etched into the blade. The fact the blade exists for countless generations and hasn't shown signs of rust or decay, along with its lightness, seem to point to it not being made of regular steel or silver at all, but rather Mithral, of one very few weapons forged from such a metal.
• A scale mail: although the armor itself is of beautiful craftsmanship, it's etched with the marks of many lonesome battles.
• A couple sets of outfits appropriate for travel in rather harsh climates, especially the unforgiving cold of North.
• Likewise, some travelling supplies, including rations, oil, some dry firewood, etc.
• An old book of children's fairytales: some dark, some light, some happy, some sad. Despite the fact Rivianne keeps this in a weatherproof bag, it shows signs of wear and tear, not only from its age, but also from being read and reread many times over.
• A tarnished silver holy symbol.
• Some coins to cover any travel expenses and a horse.

[b]⚔ History:[/b] 
The details about Rivianne's past are a well-kept secret. Her sacred vows forbid her from ever claiming any connection to it. The most noticeable bit is that her mother was apparently a magic-wielding adventurer as well. An mage who was almost killed by a powerful undead while unaware that she was pregnant. Naturally, the taint of such an experience changed the yet-to-be-born Rivianne, giving her the sorcerous powers she wields along with divine might.

She was inducted in her order at a young age, after her parents were actually killed during a quest. The one responsible for her acceptance was none other than her former Master under whom Rivianne trained for a number of years.

After completing her training she took on the mantle of a knight and has been living her life like that ever since. The reason why she loves children so much is essentially because she was shown mercy when she was young, saved from a cold, purposeless life as an orphan. Secretly, Rivianne holds the desire to one day be able to settle her blade and have a family of her own.

But not now. Not while there's still work to do.
