Nightwing95Finally got around to it. @Hostile
Name: Diana Florence
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Occupation: Mercenary
Appearance:
Personality: Diana is a hard worker, diligent in her work but tries to make sure to take it easy from time to time. As a mercenary she tries not to get to attached to people and things since she rarely has the luxury of staying in any one location for long. Because of her lifestyle she can seem a bit detached from the world, rarely batting an eye at the less fortunate since it can be hard enough to take care of herself. She does her best to accomplish any job she is given to the letter and has a decent reputation.
History: Growing up on a fantasy like world made for quite a rough life for young Diana. She grew up in a small town, her father was a soldier for the local militia while her mother was a seamstress. As a solider her father was rarely home and she tried to help out her mother whenever she could with her work. It was a quaint, but hard life, but things changed for the worse.
When she was 10 years old her father was drafted into a larger army sent to fight against a reptilian menace that was threatening human settlements. This draft had the unfortunate consequence of lowering the guard of many of the smaller towns and villages, including her own. Raiders saw their opportunity and attacked, killing many and devastating quite a few areas.
She and her mother were forced to flee their home and leave everything behind. Angered by what had happened, Diana decided to follow after her father’s footsteps so she could also fight when needed. She tried to find people who would teach her in her spare time, which was not much, until she was old enough to join the local town guard.
It was not an easy life and she found herself often ridiculed and made fun of for being one of the few women in their ranks. Disgusted by how they acted, she soon left and temporarily joined a mercenary group to learn under them. Over the years she learned many skills and gained a few scars, but eventually she outgrew the group and decided to become a lone mercenary so she could choose which jobs to do without worry.
Weapons and Equipment:
Skills and Abilities:
Solid Sewing Skills: As the daughter of a seamstress this is only to be expected and is very useful for on the road. With a little needle and thread she can easily stitch up anything in need of repair. This also comes in handy if she needs to sew herself up after a battle.
Tracker: As a mercenary this is an integral skill for many jobs. Diana can track both humanoids and animals, though other humans are often her target of choice. Unless the target is quite good at hiding their tracks she can chase and follow a target for days.
Accomplished Swordsman: While by no means is she a top level fighter, her skill with a sword and buckler are quite good, enough that most people need a good bit of training to match up to her.
Street Smarts: Having roughed it with mercenaries and by herself, she has picked up quite a bit of knowledge when in the cities. She knows the best ways to get information, follow a lead, and how to haggle for a good deal.

Weapons and Equipment:
- Haversack: To carry everything she needs.
- Short Sword: Her weapon of choice.
- Short Axe: Both a weapon and a tool.
- Concealed Knives: For any encounter.
- Rope: Always useful and very versatile.
- Lantern: Essential for surviving the night and dark places.
- Light Armor: As a Mercenary on the move she has to travel light, wearing mostly hardened leather type armor, though she has splurged by getting a little extra protection at the top with some chainmail underneath. She relies on her reflexes and battle experience to defend herself in combat.
- Buckler: A small shield for melee combat made of iron.
- Sewing Kit: For those many traveling needs.
