Her hair is a light blonde color and it falls to the middle of her back. She has light brown eyes and a pale complexion. Jacqueline prefers lighter armor to move around in, traditionally made of leather. She has a scar on the right side of her neck from her childhood that has faded. Jacqueline also has a hawk companion named [url=https://render.fineartamerica.com/images/rendered/default/print/8/8/break/images/artworkimages/medium/1/redtailed-hawk-portrait-steve-goad.jpg]Pascal[/url] who is tan and brown.[/indent] [u][b]Personality[/b][/u] [indent]Jacquenline has been called headstrong since the moment she opened her eyes upon birth. Despite living a rather opulent life, Jacqueline preferred running outdoors, climbing trees, and taming animals. She would play with the other children by acting out battles. As she got older, Jacqueline grew even more independent and determined. When she throws herself into a cause, she puts her whole heart behind it, almost to a fault. Jacqueline sticks to her beliefs and looks out for her sisters-in-arms. Despite this, Jacqueline is slow to trust and it would take effort to get her to open up. [/indent] [hr] [u][b]Background[/b][/u] [indent][list] [*]Profession: Mercenary [*]Class: Ranger [*]Heritage: Noble born, but has since renounced that life and has joined the Daughters of the Blade. [/list][/indent] [u][b]History[/b][/u] Jacqueline was born into a Noble Andred household, the youngest of 5 siblings. Being the youngest and only daughter, it was expected that Jacqueline would learn proper duties for Noblewomen. However, Jacqueline would often run around the home, getting dirty, picking fights with neighboring boys, and doing all she could to cause trouble. It became increasingly clear that, as the years went on, Jacqueline would not be a traditional Noble. During her schooling, Jacqueline was also trained to use a bow and arrow. The reason was two-fold. After imploring her father, Edmond, to allow her to learn how to defend herself, he consented to learn archery as it was seen as more "dignified". Jacqueline's archery teacher, a woman named Lorelai, worked her daily, learning how to shoot an arrow from low or high and even on horseback. Lorelai, in secret, also trained Jacqueline to use a sword. Her father found out and cast out Lorelai. Soon Jacqueline became of age when it was expected she would get married. Jacqueline had never expressed any romantic desire for anyone. Unbeknownst to her father, her mother, Ysolde, caught Jacqueline with another Noble girl. Promising to keep it a secret so long as Jacqueline did what she had to when the time came, Jacqueline finally admitted that she had no intention of marrying a man to produce offspring. Her father, in a fit of rage, kicked her out of her home. Her mother followed suit. At first she struggled, having been raised within the confines of a castle, Jacqueline relied on the kindness of strangers, but she had to leave her city behind given that they knew who she was. On the outskirts, she ran into an elderly man being harassed by bandits. Using her quick thinking and sword skills, she bested them and sent them packing. The elderly man, named Barnabas, offered to take her wherever she needed to go. She quickly accepted the offer and made her way to the neighboring town. Jacqueline lived off the land for a bit, traveling as far as she could each day. It was during these travels that she came to meet the Daughters of the Blade, who shared similar stories. They provided her shelter and food and made no inclination to recruit her. Instead, they shared stories filled with triumphs and hardships and Jacqueline found herself connecting with the sisterhood. Soon, Jacqueline pledged her loyalty, joining the Order and training with them. During her training, she befriended another member named Phoebe. The two shared similar stories of their families throwing them out for refusing to bend their knees and be a "traditional lady". Phoebe admitted she had no desire, romantically or sexually, for anyone and that it made her feel "off" compared to others of her age. The two formed a tight bond with one another, looking out for each other. It was then she found her home. [u][b]Reason for Travel[/b][/u] Jacqueline is hoping to find a place where she could set up a new Order and bring others with her. She also needs time away from the group to get herself situated mentally and emotionally as she is betraying their trust. [u][b]Motivation/Goal[/b][/u] Despite her love of the Daughters of the Blade, there are rumors that the leadership is at odds with one another. Talk among the members states that the group may not be around for much longer. Jacqueline knows she would be nothing if the group disbanded and has made the decision to travel in search of a place where she could form her own order. She has spoken to a few other members who have agreed to join her once it is set up, though Jacqueline knows this would make her an enemy of the leaders of the Order once it is done.
