• What Makes Us Who We Are

  Armony was raised at a very young age to become a knight of the king. Though women weren't allowed as knights, she was made an exception because her father was the captain, and was unable to bear a son to offer the knights for service. She wasn't expected to hold a high rank, but quickly proved everyone wrong. She was taught to wield a broadsword the moment she could hold one, and thus became able to handle one with extreme ease, better than most could.
  
  She would beat the sons of the other knights in duels, having an advantage in agility and speed with her smaller frame and features. During her teens, she was often given ridicule for not being able to fit the knight's armor she was given, having developed well for a woman. Her father, having found a rare metal in a mountain expedition, made her a set of armor she could wear once she reached full knight hood.
  
  Her father wasn't able to see her do so, when he unfortunately died during a crusade in the neighboring kingdom. But that seemed to make Armony more determined to reach her father's position and uphold their family name.
  
  At the age of 23, she demanded to be tested for the position, to the King and the knights. And she did, passing the excruciating tests they put her though. Armony was name the Captain of the Royal Knights, leading them all when in battle and in training. She was given much respect once there, not having received such before hand. Gender was no longer an obstacle for her.
  
  But two years later, during a march with the Prince, her and her forces were ambushed. She fought her best to protect the prince, and failed. She has a heavy guilt over what happened, and blames herself for letting the young Prince die. Only a few men survived but none could recall what happened at all. Armony was sent into exile from her Kingdom, travelling alone trying to prove herself to others... and to herself.
