Name:
Ara Nightshadow
Gender:
Female
Age:
16
Birthday:
October 31st
Village:
None (Left before she met her dragon by stealing a boat. Now she flies around wherever she likes.)
Job:
Rider (rogue)
Weapon(s):
Naginata (a 5-foot pole with a 1-foot blade on the end)
Long thin shield covered with spikes
Anther 1-foot blade that usually rests at her side in a sheath waiting for melee combat
Appearance:
Ara is thin, probably from not eating enough. She is 5'4" and has long blonde hair which flows freely until her shoulders and below that is a braid going down to her waist. On her right arm she has a burn scar from her lower neck to her wrist and hand. She has two personalities and when she switches her eyes change color between blue and black.
She wears spiked armor on her arms and legs made of titanium(silver) while the rest of her outer clothing (shirt, pants, boots, gloves) is made of wyrm hide (black). Her inner clothing is made of silk and is not exposed to the outside to minimize burn damage.
When she wants stealth, she has been known to hover her face and hair with soot to turn it black.
Personality:
Ara has split personalities, which she is entirely aware of and to some extent can control. A change will be signaled by a change in eye color.
Black Eyes) Ara is stealthy, fast, and ruthless in combat. She goes for the kill and tries not to let her enemies escape alive. She has no moral issues with causing permanent injuries to bystanders.
Outside of combat she will be mean, easily angered, and easily provoked. She will push away friendship of any kind and opt for fighting.
Blue Eyes) In combat, Ara will be that person who crack jokes and talks to the enemy nonstop while she fights. She tends to avoid killing or permanent damage to enemies.
Outside of combat she is happy, optimistic, easily amused, and likes meeting new people. She will ask questions, bug you, and try to befriend you. Like her other personality, she is easily provoked to battle.
Dragon:
Fallen
Species:
Night Fury
Appearance:
Fallen is slightly small for a Night Fury, but no less capable. His tail is longer then normal and therefore he is more maneuverable. Besides that he's pretty normal.
Personality:
Fallen likes speed and maneuvering quickly through tight spaces. He likes to fight, and enjoys the kill. He is less then obedient and his relationship with Ara is a carefully crafted agreement. He enjoys solitude, and will sometimes leave Ara for a day or two. He has never been gone more then three days. He doesn't want anyone else--human or dragon--getting close to Ara.
Additional Info:
BACKSTORY~!
Ara was born to a family of fishermen. She saw dragon riders, and saw dragons. She liked dragons, but she knew she would have to keep the family business.
She was 13 and her family was on a trade expedition to Tale to sell fish when she decided to leave and go find a dragon. A wild one. She stole a small boat in Tale and sailed off in the night with a knife, some fire-starter, some fish, and some beef jerky.
She wound up on some rock in the middle of nowhere. She lived there until she ran out of beef jerky. She was about to leave when something shot down out of the sky. A ball of purple fire shot at her. She leapt to the side into the boat, but failed to avoid getting burned. She got out her knife and turned to her attacker. It was a dragon. Specifically it was Fallen.
Fallen was on the hunt.
Ara wasn't stupid. She knew she was being attacked. She grabbed her knife and got to her feet as the dragon landed. Fallen circled her. She kept her eyes on him.
They maintained eye contact for all of 10 minutes like that.
Then Ara made a thrust with her blade.
Fallen must have known she couldn't reach ten feet to hit him, but he flinched and assumed a submissive pose.
She approached him and he didn't move. She placed a hand on his flank. He only stared at her. Ara knew she had a dragon.
Ara and Fallen preyed upon small wyrms, which could mean food (depending on whether the variety was edible) and teeth/claws/bones/hides, which Ara kept on that same rock where they met. When she had enough skins, teeth, bones, etc (meaning after about 1 or 2 kills) She took her collected bits to Tale, selling the teeth/claws/bones etc Ara paid a smith to make her her armor and a weapon.
After that she was pretty much broke.
She makes her living selling wyrm innards pretty much... And lives on some godforsaken rock in the middle of the sea...
