Age: 19
Race: Human
Hair Color: Jet Black
Eye Color: Blue- green
Height: 5’7”
Weight: 120 lbs
Occupation: Mercenary

Personality
Aeryn rarely talks unless she has to, but it will most likely to be to herself. Usually it is when something/ someone is annoying her, if something doesn’t make sense, or problem solving. If she is not bothered she will sit in one place and brood. The problem solving part of her makes her a very patient person, and her tolerance level of people is higher. She is loyal to anyone she works for/with, whether they are bad or good. She never smiles, but when she does the person that has received the smile knows they have earned her trust and friendship, which are the two hardest things to gain from Aeryn. She can be very protective of her friends, and she would give up anything (even life) for them.

Appearance
Jet-black hair inherited from her mother, and blue-green eyes from her father. Like her parents her skin is softly tanned. Aeryn is usually seen in a navy blue turtleneck sleeveless top, and a pair of black pants. She has a small body frame Her forearms have light- flexible armor, and hands always have black gloves on. Over top of her shirt she has the same light- flexible armor that covers her chest, right side, and just a quarter past her hip. She wears knee high boots where she has the hem of her pants tucked in, with shin armor. Around the waist is a belt with a holster for throwing knives, and a place for her twin blades. What can mostly be seen is the head of a phoenix tattoo on her left shoulder, one of its wings folding and ending just below her collarbone the other opening towards her armpit. The body of the mystical bird traces the shoulder blade, with the tail running along her side until it reaches her hip. The tattoo was initially meant to cover a large scar on her shoulder. She has two earrings on the right lobe of her shoulder, two on her left lobe and one on the top of her left ear cartilage. Because she is fairly flat and has boy-cut hair where the un even bangs fall limp around her face it is easy for her to disguise or pretend to be a young male mercenary.

History
Aeryn was the second youngest of five children from Michael and Evelyn Lambert. She was formally known as Sharon. At the age of five her family had been killed in a house fire. It was assumed that an assassin was hired to deal with the entire family from the farm after her father had refused to sell it. After the fire, Sharon had spent a month of the summer living off of what was left of the vegetables on the farm. She eventually wandered into a town near her burnt down home. One night a retired mercenary who had assumed she was a boy took her in.
When asked for her name, she replied, “I was not given a name.” Even though she was only five she knew that if he had known she was a girl instead of a boy he would have kicked her back out on to the streets.

The mercenary knew he could not walk around with a nameless student. So he gave her the name “Aeryn.” Later into her life the mercenary learned that his student was a quick learner, and began training her into his profession. He had taught her the basic knowledge in sword fighting. Unfortunately as she was about to advance on in her training the old mercenary passed away. Since his death Aeryn took to the road and began her journey, in search of employment and to improve her skills.

Skills

Swordplay
Aeryn is ambidextrous, so she uses two steel swords instead of one. Thanks to the mercenary that trained her she knows basic blocks and strikes. She hopes that as she searches for employment and put her skills to the test she will be able to improve upon them versus remaining at the level that she had been left at.

Hand- to- Hand
Even though Aeryn is almost completely reliant on a weapon she does know some hand to hand combat. It does come in handy when she loses her weapon, however she is mainly defensive.

Knife Toss
Aeryn does not have great aim, but when she needs to she has her alternate and natural ability of throwing knives. Even if it misses it makes a good distraction. She will try practicing with fruit or trees, but she rarely bothers practicing or gives up when she gets bored.

Flexibility
The reason why the armor is light and flexible is because of Aeryns’ flexibility. The only thing she had kept with her from childhood. This gives an easy advantage to flip and contort away from enemies, but it only extends up to the point where she is cornered, pinned, injured, or stuck in a between two things (walls, people, swords).

Magic
Water/Ice
Aeryns’ specialty in magic is water. Since she had not honed her skills in magic she can only use this power near any body of water (lake, river, stream, puddle). Her main ability is to whip the water at her enemies, use a large amount to pour onto the attacker and freeze them just by blowing, have the water become a shield, or turn it into shards of ice and send it at them. This power is limited not only by location but also by energy as well. Just using any one of these attacks will tire her out. A combination will be stressful and put strain onto her body. It will be very rare she will try using this power in battle.

Equipment

Armor
Lightweight and malleable. Good for deflecting weak arrows, and keeping flexibility. Bad for heavier objects like swords, metal arrows, daggers, and other magic. She only wears the armor across the chest and down the right side of her torso since it is her weaker side.

Clothes
Navy blue turtleneck sleeveless top, black pants, boots, belt, earrings- made of silver (will not be sold)

Twin Katana
Made of steel. Aeryns main attacking weapon.

Throwing knives (x1)
Made of steel. Aeryn does not have great aim, so she only carries around one knife with her. It comes in handy for cutting fruit open.

Don't overdo the Flexibility. Keep in mind that you are still level zero and that evasion should by no means be infallible.
