Josette Hawkes [Level 2]
Name: Josette Hawkes
Age: Twenty Four
Race: Human
Height: Five Feet, Eight Inches
Weight: 155 Pounds
Occupation: Sellsword
Personality: Josette is a very complex person. The few words she does speak are either well-thought out advice, or dry, sarcastic humor. She is incredibly selfless, and will jump to put others before herself. She cares deeply for the people around her, regardless of whether they are friends. Despite this, she is not quick to trust. She is patient, and has a very long fuse. However, when she is pushed to her limit, she is an absolute nightmare to deal with. She has a very difficult time sorting through her own emotions, and she can grow overwhelmed when others display theirs. To combat this, she often reacts incorrectly in social situations.
History: Jo does not speak of her childhood. What can be gathered from outside sources is that her mother was reported dead when the girl was eight. Her father died eight years later. Josette joined an army of Arcane Knights the following year, claiming she was twenty, though she was only eighteen. She remained with the Knights for five years, learning everything that she could about warfare, sorcery, and weapons. Though her magic came slowly, as it posed the greatest challenge, she managed to get a handle on what her tutors considered “water magics.” Then she abruptly left the Knights. She is wanted in the Salvic province of Ressin for “treason,” and there is quite a large sum on her head, despite the call going out over a year ago. She lives and travels alone, save for occasional visits to Nicolette Morgan and company in Caershire, the province north-west of Ressin. Josette has often been seen escorting the young Nicolette on various diplomatic trips, though the extent of their relationship is still unknown.
Appearance: Josette is all muscle. Though her height is average, her years of training have left her with an exceptionally toned frame. Long, pin-straight black hair hangs to the middle of her back. It is almost always tied in a tight braid; only when she is alone does she let it fall freely. Her deep-set blue eyes are so dark that they appear black in the right light. She is wearing at least one piece of armor at all times, except for when she is sleeping.
Skills:
Streetsmarts: While Josette knows very little when it comes to literature and art, she can handle her own in most tough situations. She is very good at thinking outside of the box, and has top-notch survival skills.
Melee: Thanks to her training with the knights, Jo is skilled in most melee weapons. Among them, the staff, sword, daggers, and even warhammers.
Horsewoman: Josette is a phenomenal rider, and works very well with horses.
Archer: Josette trained only briefly with the archers during her time at school. She is a decent shot, though nothing spectacular.
War-Oriented: Her training has given Jo the mind of a general. She thinks and acts quickly, and with little emotion. Strategy is her specialty.
Abilities:
Fire Immunity: Josette is entirely immune to the effects of fire.
Firewall: Once per day, Josette can construct a barrier of fire. She can choose the size and shape, though the maximum is ten feet tall and twenty feet wide. It retains the properties of fire (heat, light, the ability to burn) if she so chooses. It remains until she cancels it, up to one hour. It has no negative side effects.
Hot Hands: Josette is able to produce heat through her hands. This can warm people (i.e. a cold friend, or a lukewarm cup of hot chocolate), or burn an enemy. She can burn away standard, tier one materials (cloth, etc.), and leave behind first degree burns. She can use this ability once per day.
Strength: Josette is 2x as strong as the average Althanian.
Endurance: Josette has 2x the endurance of the average Althanian. She can go a few rounds longer in a fight because of it.
Equipment:
- Iron armor, comprised of a chest plate, shoulder guards, and gauntlets.
- A few changes of clothes, including leggings, tunics, and boots.
- Ma, the crystal Horse blade. Gold sheath and hilt, with flecks of silver and black. Silver and black blade. Acquired here.

Processing, please hold...

Just one note: if Josette's physical fitness exceeds that of an average Althanian (which it seems to) then it belongs under abilities, and would need to be a bit more detailed. You still have plenty of room in your TPL so feel free to move it down if you'd like. If not, I can approve this as is.

You know, I hadn't planned to make it an ability (just a sort of "hey, she's fast/strong"). But if I have some room, I'll add those in. Thanks, Breaker!
