Grace Nightingale
-APPEARANCE-
AGE: Grace is at the precipice that exists between young adulthood and regular adulthood. Otherwise known as 25.
SEX: Despite some features that will be discussed later, Grace is decidedly female.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Grace is a very sturdy woman, possessing a strong body cultivated by a life time of hard training and combat. Her face is quite round, a tad puffy in the cheeks, but with very serious gray eyes. Her hair is a vibrant red, kept in a short proto bob cut, slightly overgrown at this point, mostly for practicality. She has thin but long eyebrows which usually sit in a decidedly neutral, uncaring expression. Her skin is a surprising soft, unblemished pale peach, nearing white. Her shoulders are broad, Her chest rather prominent (roughly a C cup by the modern classification) and likely supported by powerful pectoral muscles. Her arms are equally well built, partly from dragging wounded this way and that, and partly from swinging various weapons about. Her hips complement her shoulders nicely, and lead to quite large thighs, calves, and average feet. The whole of her body is without scar, burn, or boil. Her hands are probably the roughest party of her anatomy, being a bit calloused and abrasive.
ATTIRE: Grace either wears full plate armor, polished to a high shine, which covers her whole body, though she does not wear a helm. Crimson robes are interwoven with this armor to mark her as a member of the church. Also she has a large silver pendant in the shape of an equal armed cross. When not in armor, she wears the same red robes, which keep much of her body to the imagination. Sometimes she carries a shield. Nowadays she has hung up her sword, literally, and goes about in just her robes, cross, and a utility dagger.
QUIRKS: Grace, like most humans, has many quirks. Most prominent is her cold disregard for the feelings of others. She masks this behind generally polite and charitable behaviors, but lacks genuine compassion for people she doesn’t know. On the flip side of that coin, when she grows to like someone, she will defend and protect that person with a fanatical, frankly deranged devotion. She is also known to be very stubborn and prone to impulsive and rash behavior.
BACKSTORY: Grace was born and raised in a small, fiercely religious community in northern England. She was groomed from birth to be a healer in accordance with local tradition. She was always more interested in imitating her older brother Aaron, who she regarded with a borderline incestuous level of affection. She never had the courage to do more than get secret lessons from her brother in swordsmanship, however. When she was 15 a crusade was declared and the two were sent off to fight for the holy land. Grace experienced much hardship in this time, but none effected her more than her brother dying in battle. She became largely despondent and developed her callous attitude toward human life here. She continued serving the church, mostly because she had nothing to do with her life, which eventually led her to the hamlet.
SKILLS & EQUIPMENT
WEAPONS: Grace prefers her trusty bastard sword, but will use just about anything at hand. Including her own hands, feet, knees, elbows, forehead, etc.
ARMOR: Full plate
and a shield.
OTHER EQUIPMENT: Grace travels very light and has almost no personal effects. She has her cross, and a book of prayers.
STRENGTHS: Grace is strong, resilient, and experienced in both combat and medicine. She also wields divine magic.
WEAKNESSES: Grace is rash, stubborn, selfish, lusty, and generally unstable.
