She was not amused by this.[/indent] [b][color=salmon]Appearance[/color][/b] [color=FFFFFF][indent]At five feet seven inches, Bianca is slightly taller than average with round facial features. She's in tip-top physical shape and ensures she stays that way, putting a lot of effort into maintaining herself at her peak. She has let her brown, wavy hair grow long in her years of service, finding it compliments her green eyes. Her clothing varies but is always easy to move around in, and it's rumored she can sprint in high heels. [/indent][/color] [b][color=salmon]Personality[/color][/b] [indent]So long as she keeps her mouth closed, Bianca can be mistaken for a cold if somewhat distant person. In truth she is a friendly person, always open for conversation and can talk to just about anyone. She has no issues offering her opinion on a matter, and is generally open minded, making her easy to talk to. She is a kind person at her core, always willing to guide and quick to play peacemaker. She will never let you down, even the idea of disappointing someone makes her always put in her total effort. As a result she is quick to help out those in need. Still, she puts a lot of pressure on herself even if she is told to take it easy. Polite and usually keeping a calm head, she seems out of place among the Templars, though she transforms somewhat when a battle is to be had. She tunes out all her doubts and manages to keep her head in the game at all times. Despite her warm and gentle nature, she seems to avoid opening up to people even though she likes it when people confide in her. Her tendency to keep people at a distance is somewhat contradictory, often confusing people, and she has a lot of trouble expressing her emotions. Should she be crossed, she keeps her gentle demeanor, though becomes passive aggressive and is exceedingly firm when she needs to be. She also has a surprising cynical view on things.[/indent] [b][color=salmon]Biography[/color][/b] [indent]The second daughter and overall fourth of a Sir Agustin, Bianca lived a typical life. Her family had served Duchess Manuela Santiago for years, her mother and sister working as maids while her brothers and father served as his knights. She followed in her father's footsteps and became a page at a young age, having the desire and talent to become a knight. She squired under Sir Benjamin until she was a knight herself and was placed in charge of the duchess' oldest son, Diego. Despite her young age, she took her job seriously, especially after a monster attack robbed the House of Santiago of Manuela and put Diego in charge as he had no sisters. He stepped into the role of duke flawlessly and together with his wife ensured the continuation of his house. After his mother's death, Diego approached Bianca and asked her to help him personally with his duties. While she felt she wasn't qualified, she did her best, often representing Diego in certain matters. At some point she felt more like a secretary rather than a knight, but convinced herself it would be temporary. As thanks, she was often invited to family dinners, sometimes with Diego alone. After about six months, Agustin ended up developing early on-set dementia, and Diego assured Bianca that he would pay for the best care in exchange for her continued service. She agreed and was beyond grateful, but she noticed the invitations to dinner increased, and she was surprised when she would show up and Diego would dine with her alone. He often claimed his wife was ill, and despite not wanting to assume the worst, accepted it after she confirmed it with his wife that she hadn't been feeling well and got her blessing to accompany him instead. Eventually, the dinners stopped, and she was relieved. Unfortunately, it was followed by a massive scandal that exposed Diego's crime of money laundering. What was worse was that he found a way to throw Bianca under the bus by insinuating she had been trading favors in exchange for the care of her father. Why he thought to drag her down with him, she had no idea, but word spread like wildfire and she found herself having to defend her position from everyone. Eventually, the queen ordered for his assets to be seized in order to repay his debts, and Diego was stripped of his title. Now wayward and aimless, Bianca had no idea what to do with herself. Her siblings were able to find work elsewhere to support themselves, but she was denied every time due to the scandal despite it being a lie. It left her dejected, and eventually she turned to the church to offer her services. She was welcomed, and despite knowing she did nothing wrong, asked for forgiveness. She ended up taking a wrong turn one day and bore witness to a training regimen led by Templar Irina. She was entranced by the passion and effort, admiring the Templar, and ended up submitting an application the same day. While working for the church for the rest of her life protecting a Scion wasn't her first choice, watching the Templars train had lit up a small spark in her. To her absolute shock, it went through, and she found herself being trained by the same Templar she saw that day. Granted, it was a grueling experience that seemed better from the outside in, but Irina had beat out any doubts about her desire to be a knight. After around four years of training, she became a Templar, ready to serve.
