Lady Anais

Alright, having made a proper introduction for this character, I think it's time she got into the rough an tumble. And since it melds with my storyline that she's not only in Underwood, but needs someone to fight, may as well make use of the new Dansdel rules and put them to the test.
As such, I'm issuing a challenge for someone to take on Lady Hieras in Dansdel.
However, while this challenge is mostly open, I am somewhat discerning about who I'll fight; and I may not automatically pick up someone just for posting. I do want to look for two things when accepting a challenger:
-Completionism. I know the plague of unresolved and unfinished battles, and want to avoid it. Being my first real "battle" I'm determined to see it through to the end, and- in the interest that we can put these new rules to use for us- would like to see someone equally dedicated to finishing the fight.
-Continuity: My character is very firmly rooted in her own personal continuity as well as some of Althanas lore. While I don't mind a fight "just to fight" per say- as it would let me accomplish my goals- I feel it could be a much more robust battle if it was someone who's character meshed a bit with my story. As such, certain aspects of a character will make them more desirable for me to fight:
*Any characters with ties to Thayne lore, followers of Thayne deities, or persons with personal interest in that kind of lore (even if purely academic.)
*Characters with any form of ties to a formal religion. While a background involving the Thayne or the Etheral Sway are ideal, any religious characters would work; my character is strongly rooted (both internally and externally) in religious conflict.
*Similarly, characters with Salvic background or history in Salvar.
*Characters with affinity to or direct ties to N'jalian interests. Per my character, she is publically an enemy of N'jal^, and so servants of N'jal or people wanting to make a positive impact on the N'jalian Magi, etc. are especially desired. If this is the case, I'll personally lobby the mods to see if there's some way a form of "reputation reward" with N'jalian interests can be given as a spoil in the event of my defeat.
Now that my bullheadedness has been outed and shown the reasons why you may not want to join me, I do have a few things I want to touch on from my side:
-Flexibility. While I say I want a challenge, it is not required that is be a physical "fight." The Dansdel rules clearly state that it can be any form of competition. While my character is more of a combat oriented one, I welcome challenges of a non-combat nature. I leave the type of challenge up to you, I am flexible and can find a way to make anything work.
-Dedication. As said before, I plan to be completionist about this challenge. If you are similarly tired of seeing battle threads go unresolved, I can assure you that from my side of things, you will have an opponent determined not to let that happen. ;)
Feel free to post here or PM me if interested.
^as approved by judge, pending RoG approval at next update.
(As an aside, should someone be interested in a fight but not wish to fight in Dansdel, I may be swayed to take it to the Citadel. But that would have to be discussed via PM)
