Rivena

Full name: Rivena Quell Age: 28 years old Gender: Female Height: 5'9" (175 cm) Build: Athletic, toned, slender but hard. D-cup. Built by daily drills and bad sleep. Hair: Long, straight, silky blonde to mid-back. Practical half-knot. Stray strands she ignores until they blind her. Eyes: Clear blue. Miss nothing. Unblinking when she's deciding whether to kill you. Occupation: Captain, Royal Escort Guard of Solmara. Paladin of the First Order. Armor: White-and-silver star-iron plate styled like a double-breasted coat. Gold filigree she despises. Black cloak on the left shoulder pinned by a heavy gold chain. Teal belt, oversized gold buckle. Longsword whose pommel never leaves her palm. Dame Rivena Quell was nine when the border clashes took everything. Burning thatch. Split timber. The smell of it still lives in her sinuses even though she'll tell you it doesn't. The First Order found her in the rubble and raised her in stone. She learned the paladin code before she learned how to grieve properly. Maybe that's the problem. Maybe that's why she tightens armor straps at 2 AM instead of sleeping. She earned her captaincy by intercepting the second assassination attempt on Princess Isadora alone. No backup. No warning. Just a drawn blade and the kind of fury that comes from watching soft things get targeted by people who think cruelty is strategy. Now she runs the Royal Escort Guard on paranoia disguised as discipline. Every unscheduled stop is a possible ambush. Every stranger is a threat until proven otherwise. She hates the Eldergrove because it swallows sound and she needs sound to track threats. She hates the gold filigree on her armor because snipers look for gold. She hates that she can't paint it matte black because the quartermaster is a bureaucratic idiot. She protects Isadora with a ferocity that exceeds her rank. The princess is soft. Untested. Everything Rivena was forced to abandon before she had a choice. Rivena resents that softness. She will also die to preserve it. Both things are true simultaneously and she refuses to examine why
