Age: 68 (Her real age but due to her Mother's elfish blood, she looks around 22)
Race: Mix Blood/ Half-elf (Father: Human/Mother: High Elf)
Hair Color: Blonde
Eye Color: Silver
Height: 5'95" feet/181, 35 cm
Weight: 156 lbs. /70 kg
Occupation: Mercenary
Personality: Ariel is a prideful warrior, this is a fact. After being trained for half of her life by her father and continuing on her own after his passing, the blonde prides herself with being a honorable fighter. Inheriting the warrior's code and her father's swordsmanship she constantly looks for battles to prove to herself that all that work was not in vain and for ways to better her techniques. But she won't fight without a reason and as money(or the lack of it) being the main one, she is willing to sell her skills to the highest bidder, with some restrictions. However, her pride and teachings will stop her from taking the lives of people that don't deserve it. This is the one thing her father most asked of her on his dying bed, not to become a senseless killer like he was in his youth.
In normal occasions she is very chatti and kind, until you rub her the wrong way. Then she can become pretty hostile to the brik of attacking in blind rage.
Appearance: Ariel has pretty much the same build as an athletic human, or heavy high elves. She is more heavily built than purebred high elves. Like her high elf mother, she has fair skin, blonde hair and unusually colored silver eyes. She has inherited the pointy ears feature from her mother but hers are less pronounced and rounded up. As she keeps her hair over the tip of her ears she usually passes as a normal human to the untrained eye or without a detailed inspection of her ears. Though lacking their elven parents' longevity (almost a millennia), half-elves still enjoy a long life span 200-300 years, Ariel being currently 68 in real age but her appearance is that of a girl in her teens (around 22 years), especially with the summary clothing choice she’d adopted: short blue skirt with a faint camo pattern and a blue, revealing top with the same camo pattern. Around her waist there are 2 scarfs/bandanas, one dark blue and one red, that have a thin black belt above them.
History: Ariel, the fruit resulted from a forbidden love between, was raised in a mountain cabin near Radasanth. After her parent's exile the family moved there to escape the prejudice of the high elves from Underwood. At first it proved a difficult task of raising a child in the mountains with no other human contact, but with time the family learned to be self sustained. Growing up had been tough at first for the blonde, without any friends she had only her father's weapons training as a main distraction, even after trying magic training with her mother. At first she accompanied her father at hunting, catching quickly on things. With time she would go to the nearby towns to gets some supplies or to simply visit new zones. She would get the disapproval stares of her high elf kindred and after a few years she would ignore them by reflex.
Due to her elven blood the girl would stop physically aging around 22 years, like her mother, she had to see how her father got weaker by the day. He continually told her not to pity him until his death bed at 93 years, making the girl promise not to follow in his footsteps of becoming a senseless killer, like he was in his youth. Then after his passing, with tears in her eyes the blonde buried her father on top of a mountain, swearing to herself that that was the last time she would shed tears. After that, the two (mother and daughter) recieved word from the High Elves from Underwood telling them that Eveline D'Sole (Ariel's mother) was allowed to return to the high elves in the woods ALONE, they still refused to recognise Ariel as a legitimate offspring.

Now Ariel wonders all around Althanas, searching for strong opponents that she could defeat and/or learn from, going by the wind...wherever her 'job' as a sellswords takes her. Due to her savage fighting style she may have earned the titles of 'Lioness' and/or 'Crowned Lion' in some parts.
Skills:
Expert Swordsman: After being trained by her father, who was an imperial guard, for more than 30 years and continued training on a regular basis after his passing. Ariel has inherited his swordsmanship and his honor code, she has a long way to go until becoming a grand master of the sword but can at least defend herself and those she holds dear off and even teach others her sword art.
Medium Marksman: Even if her main focus was with the sword, Ariel still had to learn how to shoot a bow or a gun. In time, with practice she managed to get a good aim and learn about different weapon mechanics.
Dual Wielding (Sword Fighting): Her favorite sword fighting style, she'd learn the basics of one-hand sword wielding and even surpass that by adding, instead of a shield like most one handed sword users, another one-handed weapon that is usually a shorter sword than the main one.
Advanced Magic Knowledge: Even if Ariel focused on swordsmanship, she would still receive magical training from her mother that allows her to tap into her blood’s mystical power. She is able to analyze magical spells and can come up with some form of evading or mitigating damage. She can use ice manipulation/creation magic that will be described in the skill section.
Cold Resistance: Due to her innate affinity towards ice creation/manipulation magic and being raised in a cold environment, the blonde doesn't feel cold and in fact she quite enjoys it, even in her summary outfit.
Abilities:
Elfish Reflexes: Due to the elf blood from her mother’s side and her father's spartan-like training, Ariel has the innate elvish reflexes that make her react more than x2 faster than usual humans. In combat she uses this trait to its full extend making sure to be at least one step in front her opponent.
Ice Release#1: Ice Coating. Due to her affinity towards water/ice manipulation, Ariel unconsciously coats her weapon's blade with a thin layer of ice every time she unsheathes her blades, by using the humidity in the air. This makes its edges sharper(from inflicting light wounds to medium wounds) and adds durability(increases durability 1 tier: iron->steel) to the weapon overall. After a successful strike it leaves behind a weak effect around the hit area. However the latest effect (area freezing) lessens after each successful strike, having a max. 5 charges before becoming unoticeable and needs to fully recharge for a min. of 10h until the next use(2h/charge). Fire and heat using powers may negate to half its power (depending on strength), also being in hot areas like volcanoes and deserts remove the freezing effect. If the user is near water/humid/cold areas this ability gains an extra charge(max. 6). This ability has the cosmetic effect of adding a faint blue glow to the weapons Ariel uses.
Ice Release#2: Ice Aegis. Another application of her magical affinity is the creation of a defensive shield. Ariel crosses her blades and begins chanting a defensive spell in her mind, to materialize the ice shield she only needs to say the ability's name(Ice Aegis). It's a medium ice shield that covers her torso and head area and protects her from any incoming attack. It has a 2 charge restriction during battle because of the thick water/ice layer that it needs to materialize. The shield can block twice medium physical attacks (weapon strikes or physical damage) or up to 4 times projectile weaponry(bullets/arrows), before shattering. It also lessens the damage taken (by 50%) from low level magic abilities. Fire and heat using powers may weaken the shield bringing it to half its power (depending on strength) and themselves in the process, also being in hot areas like volcanoes and deserts makes the shield weaker. If the user is near water/humid/cold areas this ability gains an extra charge(3).
Equipment: Basic Iron Shoulderpads and Vambraces, a couple of black bladed weapons made of Iron as well.
Familiars (Optional): A white furred lion, with 3 black stripes , as large as a mature St. Bernard. Kimba, being her name, she can understand the common speech and read people's feelings.. http://i.imgur.com/1ZoiB5r.png?1
