She's a little on the slim side for a fighter, but Fiona's plainly in excellent shape, with a poise and grace in motion only achievable through years of training. Her skin is fair and mostly unblemished or scarred, giving her a very "green" appearance as far as warriors go. She wears her strawberry blonde hair mostly loose, but partially braided behind her head into a ponytail.[/hider]

[color=pink][i][b]Personality[/b][/i][/color][hr][indent]Fiona feels the pressure to carry on her family's legacy, even if that's somewhat self-inflicted. She's eager to prove herself, and can be reckless at times, but it ultimately comes from good intentions. She doesn't want future generations of her family to need to sacrifice like the past ones have, and quietly dreams of a peaceful life in a world she's helped heal. She doesn't enjoy battle, but she'll dive into it head first if it needs to be done. She's quite hard on herself for her failures, particularly if it was someone else who paid the price for her mistake.

She can be a little too serious at times, always focused on the task at hand, but with a little persistence she responds well to the personalities around her, and adapts well to social situations even in tough times.[/indent]
[color=pink][i][b]Biography[/b][/i][/color][hr][indent]The de Valencourts have won great renown in the wars against demons. Fiona's grandfather was among the first to make use of God's Gift for warfare, and his descendants have carried on his work, one after the other accepting the gift and devoting their lives to the struggle. The weight of expectation was always on Fiona and her older sister Sophia, and they both accepted their fates without much in the way of hesitation.

They had more advantages than most growing up, as the de Valencourts earned a significant amount of power in multiple northern nations for their work, which meant Fiona was able to devote her time to training and preparation as a teenager. Never able to match her older sister, she nonetheless grew skilled and capable, all while the crusades raged on, up to the creation of the fortress at the edge of the abyss.

Times have changed, and now warriors have begun to descend into the abyss, to battle demons and face the complete unknown. Sophia was one of the first to venture down, and she hasn't returned. Now it's Fiona's turn. Optimistic but nervous, she hopes she can locate her sister, or at the very least make a difference in the grand scheme of things.[/indent]

[color=pink][i][b]Spells and Feats[/b][/i][/color][hr][indent][center][color=pink][i]Blessed Smoke  ||  1 AP[/i][/color][/center]Upon spell activation, white smoke wafts from Fiona's body. While the spell is active, she can briefly shift into an entirely-smoke state and move very rapidly a short distance in any direction, even up. Used to dodge attacks, quickly reposition, escape an enemy's grasp, or slip through very tight spaces.
Effect: Skill +4 on dodge attempts (ignored by certain magic attacks), lasts 3 turns.
Does Not End Turn

[center][color=pink][i]Heavenly Daggers  ||  1 AP[/i][/color][/center]Fiona launches a trio of magically conjured daggers at a target. If they hit, they burst with holy fire, effective against demons. The flames are difficult to extinguish, inflict damage, and can weaken enemy armor/resistance.
Effect: Power +2
Effect: Holy Flames (-2R for two rounds unless extinguished)
Ends Turn

[center][color=pink][i]Heavenly Pierce  ||  2 AP[/i][/color][/center]Fiona's strongest attack. After a brief moment to focus, she lunges forward behind her sword in a straight line at high speed, taking smoke form and piercing through anything in her path, inflicting high damage. If the attack misses or is blocked, Fiona suffers a heavy drain on her stamina, and becomes Fatigued.
Effect: Power +10
On Miss or Block: Fatigued applied to Fiona.
Ends Turn

[center][color=pink][i]Minor Feat - Desperate Strength  ||  1 AP[/i][/color][/center]Fiona focuses her inner spirit on her physical strength, gaining a small boost to power while suffering a minor penalty to her toughness.
Effect: Desperate Strength (Power +2, Resistance -2) for two rounds.
Does Not End Turn[/indent]

[color=pink][i][b]Inventory[/b][/i][/color][hr][indent][center][color=pink][i]de Valencourt Sword  ||  P: +2  S: +3[/i][/color][/center]A thin, one-handed straight sword, double-edged. An elegant, well-balanced, finely made weapon, it serves both as Fiona's tool for slaying demons and as a symbol of her family's relative wealth and power compared to much of the world. It was a gift from her mother, upon the completion of her training.

[center][color=pink][i]de Valencourt Spellsword's Attire  ||  S: +2  R: -3[/i][/color][/center]Fiona wears a personalized uniform in her family's colors, clean white and solid red, the fabric thin and light and comfortable, well suited to the hot southern climate. The material and the expert tailoring mark her status somewhat, as does the gleaming, polished steel breastplate she wears. It serves as her only piece of real armor, leaving her light and fast in battle, but also more vulnerable to damage.
