Name: Elise Hartell, The Whirlwind (for her Sword Dancing style)
Title: First Mate (to
Fionn Harken)
Height: 5" 7'
Weight: 146 lbs. Elise is of a muscular build.
Age: 23 (Young Adult)
Race/Species: Human
Tier/Influence: 3
Group(s): Kindred
Appearance: Elise keeps herself as a warrior would, but even more so than most. She is almost seen in some sort of armor, be it her own custom made lightplate to very light chain - it is rare to see her in just clothing, unless she is going to sleep. She has a few blue streaks across her face as a reminder of her duties to mortal kind, while she keeps her brown hair in a relative mess but still out of her face. Usually adorning a serious expression, she is most definitely built with lean muscle, giving away to a few scars here and there. From most people's viewpoint though, she does have a warrior's beauty about her.
Personality: Elise is a no-nonsense type of woman. Her entire form boasts a confidence of a warrior though and even when outmatched, she will stand her ground without flinching unless retreating is a smarter option. She focuses entirely on assisting Fionn as best as she is able, though she rarely jokes or kids around, never-the-less seems to have a kind heart. In fact many question what she does outside of her work for the man and the only thing anyone ever sees her do outside of her duties is visit social scenes such as taverns - despite never engaging or even drinking ale. Her dedication is unusual to be sure.
Abilities, Talents, Traits, Powers: Elise is a swordswoman at the heart of it all. She excels at it, so much so that it isn't often that she finds someone who can match or best her - at least at the blade. Still, she has a lot of learn, even though she uses some magic to augment her particular style of combat.
- ( Tier 3 ) Sword Dancing -- Not your typical sword dancing that involves graceful flowing movements meant more for show than application. No, instead Elise has been trained specifically to use this flashy style with her dual blades in combat and does so very well. Not a master to be sure, she still whirls and spins with such fury that many a swordsmen have come out the other side injured or maimed. Even more so, she can consistently fight up to four different opponents with relative ease most of the time - unless they are also experts in their craft.
- ( Tier 3 ) Body Enhancement (Magic) -- Elise uses such magics to enhance all of her physical attributes to budding superhuman levels. Reflexes, agility, strength, and endurance are extremely enhanced, giving her a very clear edge against most opponents, monster or otherwise.
Items:- ( Tier 3 ) Mithril Light Plate -- Shiny as it is protective. It is lighter than most metals while being stronger than steel. It allows her to easily cast her magic, move with fluidity, while still being protected beyond what most knights can even afford. It also affords her some measure of magical protection, fizzing out most cantrips. However after a few continuous barrages of even cantrips, one can break through the minor barrier.
- ( Tier 3 ) Mithril Long Blades - Commissioned from the same blacksmith, these dual swords are lighter and stronger than steel, allowing her techniques that would be far more difficult if she were using traditional steel. Other than that, they never seem to rust and are resistant against decaying magics.
History: Elise had always been a bit of a tomboy and thus stuck out in the orphanage she grew up in. Though she was a bit of an outcast because of her general attitude, she was good at defending herself and even held her own against bullies when they came looking for her. It wasn't long before she got ganged up on, but she took the hits and kept it moving along. During her younger years, she was a bit of a cynic and ended up working for a blacksmith as a job. During her time there, she was generally left alone, though the man she worked for slowly tempered her view of the world - showing her that people could be kind and nice.
Sadly, a wave of bandits came through the town and though she was able to hold her own, she could not defend her employer whom she started to see as a father figure. Instead of spiraling into despair, she thought it better to live her life in helping others to honor her mentor's teachings. Before long, she ran into Fionn at one of the many towns, where they ended up meeting by helping the same person. Ever since, she has sworn to assist him, seeing him as a better suitor for doing good in the world.
Recently though, during one of her many visits to a tavern, she has acquired a new companion named Scarlett. For some reason or another, the innocent girl seems to want to throw herself into danger - without any training to speak of. Elise has taken it upon herself to guard the woman from harm and keep an eye on it. It's taken some toll on her duties to Fionn, but he seems to understand.
