[b]Personality:[/b] Hot-headed by nature with a slight temper, she acts as a mother figure and will show fierce aggression to those who threaten her loved ones. Forced to raise 3 siblings early on as a child has hardened her through the years. Nonetheless Ares can be thoughtful, kind, and sincere, but it's difficult to reveal this side of her, as she constantly has her guard up. She refuses to take anything for granted is very grateful to those who show support, and can be a very loyal ally. Throughout the years she's had rough dealings with men, thus giving her a feminist like mentality, she believes she's as strong as any man, warrior, bandit, mage, you name it. 

[b]Biography:[/b] Her mother, Rose, a strong, respected member of the Shepherds, raised Ares and her three siblings as a single mother. When Ares was born, Rose decided to cease life with the Shepherds, she believed it to be dangerous, too much of a risk, and so she took up farming instead, purchasing a house in a new village with what money she had saved up. They lived a decent enough life, even so she was a single mother, and struggles still occurred daily. Rose urged her children to aspire to passive, honest lives, encouraging farming, trading and alchemy, as well as always pushing Ares to marry early, since she was the oldest, and would make life on her easier. 

When Ares was 13, word apparently got out that Rose was a former shepherd, Rose had been assassinated. With no other options, Ares was forced to take care of her sisters and brother. Although she was distraught, she had a responsibility to care for her family, but they could only live off what money they had for no more than a month. Ares decided she had no choice, she sold the farm. Using her mothers sword, she would become a shepherd, and so she was off, taking her siblings with her to an old village, Hemshire, where the group of Shepherds that her mother fought with remained, in hiding. Sadly, when they arrived, no trace of the Shepherds remained. They too had been assassinated, except for one. 

Eventually, an old member of the Shepherds who went by the name Fargo told them to leave, calling Ares a fool and claiming she was only going to get herself and her siblings killed. Ares, refusing to give up, demanded Fargo take them in and teach her how to wield a sword, but he refused. She remained persistent, and eventually began to beg, revealing to him that her mother was the swordsman Rose, and had been assassinated. Fargo, who had trained Rose when she was younger, took them in, and decided to show Ares the art of using a sword.

For ten years Ares trained with Fargo, becoming a fine swordsman. Overtime she raised enough money as a mercenary to purchase a house in Hemshire for Fargo and her siblings, who all had their own professions by then, and lived together happily. On Ares's 24th birthday, Fargo died, of old age. He left her with a letter of recommendation for a faction of Shepherds in Plegia. She was off.
