• Personality

  When it comes to the finer arts of flashing steel combined with rough and tumble comradery, this dragonborn is certainly the de facto mistress of such operations. Her strongest personal ambition is to strive and become greater - gradually gathering momentum and leaving a proper legacy in her wake. Adventure holds a special place in her heart - and many times her personal objectives revolve around either one-upping her previous achievements or gaining some form of special honour.
  
  Whilst often times travelling alone, she does not consider herself a stoic loner. Her roving nature simply keeps her from staying in one place for too long, but she is far from shy about joining others on their journeys. To her - sharing her experiences with others comes hand in hand with experiencing new things with said people.
  
  Her tolerance of other races seems relatively high save for any inherently evil extraplanar beings. She keeps an open mind and seeks to know more on things she does not understand rather then give into fear. Whilst not immune to fear - as most living beings are susceptible to it - her nature to embrace the unknown and the strange makes her a bit more resilient to it then one would expect. Often times this curious and accepting nature combined with her willingness to assist others makes her rather open and sociable.
  
  Often times, the pursuit of honour and glory requires a little bit of a break. Her rowdy and celebratory nature is born out of playfulness , often times leaping at the opportunity to call for a celebration, start a playful brawl, guzzle the drinks and sing the bawdy songs. She sees it all as something good natured, enjoyment of such things just as important as slaying the largest threat to the land or traversing a dangerous locale.
  
  She follows a very simple yet very strict set of moral guidelines and principles. Like most other dragonborn, she upholds the tenants of honour and tradition, trying not to stray far from them at any cost. Violence is necessary only when it is , well, actually necessary. Likewise, in the appropriate amounts. Decapitating someone for stealing your coin is far from fair punishment and hardly a great victory in and of itself. The pursuit of personal pleasures is a hindrance when it interferes with the pursuit of glory and the greater good. Sometimes one must sacrifice loyalties, friendships and even their heart's desires in order to ensure that both they and their family maintain a good name.
  
  Though, strength and good will can only get one so far. If there is one thing that she sourly lacks it is the common sense of knowing when to back down. 'Yes' pops into her mind one time too often, and she often hurls herself head-first into any situation before her.
  
  Whilst she tries her best to adhere to her own personal set of morals, when it comes down to a situation that requires one to either stand or run, running is rarely an option to comes to her mind. Even if it is metaphorical. Gullible is one word that has often been used to describe her, as she tends to accept whatever is offered to her unless it is something obviously suspicious .
  
  Adding to this, she is often times very adamant about her choices, often times trying to block out any further arguments on the subject with the stern insistence that she did what she had to do. Though she is not completely thick-skulled, and often times an emotional display gets through to her. Emotions tend to resonate strongly with her. Much to her chagrin, she hates crying. Not only in the typical spirit of "I refuse to shed tears, it makes me look like a baby" but it also tends to effect her rather quickly. Seeing others in a pathetic state is almost torture to her, and she's quick to try empathizing with them out of her good nature.

• Skills and Talents

  Arms

  When it comes to the use of weapons, she typically prefers to use anything that allows her to pull off quick and accurate strikes. Specializing in the use of polearms and one-handed swords, she herself carries with her a few of her family's heirloom weapons, which she rarely wields outside of special occasions or important battles. These weapons include...

  
  
  

  • An Adamantine Ranseur

  
  
  

  • An Ancient Mithril Katana

  

  
  
  
  

  • A Worn Steel Falcion

  

  
  
  Each of these weapons represent her particular specialities, focusing more on swift strikes and constant movement. As a result, combined with her phyisque this makes her devastating when effective, but quite dainty otherwise when faced with being attacked at the legs. Her balance tends to be rather easily thrown off and thus a rather major weakness.
  
  To help keep herself safe from harm, she wears a set of light and yet protective mithril armor. Not the most effective suit of plate if one wanted to be a sturdy brick of a fighter, but very effective for someone who wants to keep their mobility with some decent protection.
  
  

  Breath Weapon

  
  
  Lastly, time and practice has allowed her to gain access to a rather dangerous part of her draconic heritage - a powerful fire-based breath weapon. This devastating cone of flame can be let loose at any time, the powerful blaze usually strong enough to cause serious burns to most feeble foes and incinerate most things with a weakness to flame.

    "You deserve some serious Kudos! That story is fantastic. Your grammar and spelling are top notch! I'd like to ask you for help someday with my own characters descriptions! Just wow! She also sounds fun. Not everyday you get to hang out with a dragon who stands upright, has a good physical form and seems cheery!"
