She has long silver hair that extends down to her thighs and sharp red eyes with unusually slitted pupils. Being an adventurer and warrior both, her body is quite fit and toned, showing the results of a person who trains, travels, and fights on a regular basis. Furthermore, one can see faint patches of bluish scales on various parts of her skin, but they blend almost completely so an observer will have to really be close or possess extraordinary vision to spot from afar. When at work, she prefers to clad herself in light armor that's both protective yet comfortable to use for long periods of time and easy to wear and remove. In general social situations, her attire of choice showcases her preference for majesty and elegance, yet still adhering to the fact that the outfit must be easy to move in so she can fight reliably if the situation calls for it, one can never be sure when danger will rear its ugly head after all. [/indent] [color=50c8ff][b]ABILITIES:[/b][/color] [indent] It's said that the Nagasari family had a draconic ancestor at one point, a blue dragon to be specific, and despite countless generations of dilution with human blood, traces of this draconic ancestry remains. They manifest in various ways across members of the family or it may not manifest at all in some individuals. For Srikandi in particular, the heritage is quite potent. She's noticeably stronger, faster, and more durable than her peers, making her to be a fine candidate for jobs that'd require physical prowess. The boons extend to her being incredibly resistant to the adverse effects of extreme cold temperature and cryomancy. Regardless of her heritage, the white-haired woman is an experienced warrior, honed by years of training and experience, she's an adept frontliner using her signature pair of enchanted diamond sword and kite shield. A flexible generalist, she can attack and defend in equal measure, adapting her approach to exploit her opponent's weaknesses. Being a well-traveled adventurer, she knows basic survival and can be relied upon to stay alive even when dumped in the middle of a forest completely naked. Not one to dismiss the potency of the arcane, Srikandi dabbles herself in the art of summoning magic; able to quickly summon two dog-sized blue dragons who act as familiars. They can accomplish various tasks with combat being among them, using their fangs, claws, and icy breaths to protect their mistress. When slain, they vanish into particles of mana and Sri must summon them again. [/indent] [color=50c8ff][b]BIOGRAPHY:[/b][/color] [indent] [hider=Personality] Ambitious, honorable, stubborn, and proud, these words best describe the Ksatria Naga. Like the dragons whose blood run in her veins yet combined with a strong sense of justice, Srikandi is a royal knight in all but official title. She's the type to know what she believes to be right and is willing to fight to defend said beliefs. A straightforward no-nonsense warrior, she tackles matters directly and won't hesitate to tell what's on her mind even if it'll hurt someone's feelings, though she'll rarely intentionally attempts to insult someone as she prefers to let her actions do the talking for her. A dependable figure in and out of the battlefield, once she gives her word, she'll do all in her power to fulfill them. However, as the Pataliputran adage says, "Tiada gading tanpa retak" ("No tusk is without cracks") which basically means no one's perfect, so is Srikandi. Her self-confidence often strays into the realm of stubbornness and it'll take great effort for someone to change her mind once she has made a decision. Her strong sense of justice tends to make her see the world in a black and white manner and people know that reality are most often varying shades of grays, such as a thief who stole medicine and bread for his sick mother. Furthermore, even the wisest of sages aren't immune to hypocrisy, let alone Srikandi, it's simply a fact of life that every sentient individual out there can never escape from. [/hider] [hider=History] Born in the coastal city of Putridewi, a major trading hub and capital of the Kingdom of Paliputra, to a family of "Juragan" (Patricians), Srikandi and her siblings never had to worry about basic needs due to her family's wealth. The Nagasari are one of the kingdom's most prominent spice farmers and traders, owning multiple plantations to grow various spice and selling them to both domestic and international buyers. Their draconic ancestry is something they knew, but in general only serves as a little fun trivia as it's ultimately irrelevant in their trade as spice merchants. However, this didn't include Srikandi as she decided to embrace her draconic heritage and build upon it, training mind and body in the martial arts where as her brothers and sisters studied commercial pursuits. She preferred to wrap her fingers around a longsword's grip instead of a quill and practiced various stances and techniques instead of perusing business ledgers. Upon coming of age, she'd honestly be a pathetic merchant, but a mercantile life wasn't where her path headed to anyway, instead, a fine warrior she'd make. She left home with the blessings of her parents at the tender age of 17 and for the next decade, Srikandi would build upon her legacy as the famed Ksatria Naga, Dragon Knight in Paliputran. While she wasn't yet a legendary adventurer, her name was already quite well-known, especially among people who regularly hired the service of adventurers or were adventurers themselves. It was this fame that led her to be one of the adventurers hired by the Queen Maharani herself to investigate the 'fallen star' that crashed onto the Dragonspine mountains. It was a great honor that she simply couldn't pass up. As for the queen, what better adventurer to hire who was a native Pataliputran, possessed dragon blood, [i]and[/i] could speak Draconic than her kingdom's very own Ksatria Naga?
