Personality summary:  harsh, caustic, distrusts/dislikes men.  Fiercely loyal to her Queen and her fellow Guards.  Has little use for humor and is always alert.

Personal history: Parents brutally murdered in front of her by  a band of marauders.  She and her sisters and young brother were brought with the heartless band as entertainment.  She was separated from them and given to a mid-ranking officer in the army as a bribe for the band to pass.  She was molested and raped by him…she was 7.  But he decided to teach her to become a fighter, so he began to teach her the way of the sword and the dagger, eventually progressing to all kinds of weaponry and military skills.  After twelve years of mastering these skills, and as many years of being the sex slave to her master, she finally snapped, killing him viciously and fleeing to the nearest city.  There, she noticed strangely-dressed women in deep indigo armor looking for fit young women with a taste for weaponry and the arts of war.  Thus she joined the Queensguard.  She rose quickly in the ranks; has been with the Guards 8 years, and learned the smithy trade, which enabled her to design her own kind of unique weapons, which she calls Lothren.

Queensguard info: all women.  Blue as the color of the female royalty.  Highly skilled warriors and professional killers.  Often better than their male counterparts.  Duties include protection of Her Majesty the Queen, the reigning Queen Mother (if she is different from the Queen herself), and the Royal Heirs.  Also, some members in the Special Ops corps are trusted with top secret missions from the Queen or the Royal Couple jointly.  They take no orders from solely the King however, outside normal citizen jurisdiction.
