Nicknames

Age
24
Race
Legacy
Profession
Knight
Appearance
Stands at 5 feet 8¼ inches tall, athletic build, long brown hair, brown eyes and is a head turner in looks.
Likes
Training, going out on the town, having fun, her family (including her brothers in arms), dancing, flowers, enigmas
Dislikes
The knights and soldiers that give the rest a bad name, crime, disrespect.
Powers (If magical being)
None
Armour/Weapons
When she is dressed in her knightly uniform she has two elven steel daggers, one in each boot, and a mithril chainmail body under her uniform.
When she is in her knightly gear, considering that she does both melee and range, she has a mithril plate body, mithril plate legs, mithril half skirt thing (see signature). These items have light blue and black decorations on them with boots and gloves to match. She carries two elven steel rapiers, which she dual wields, at her waist under the plate skirt and two elven steel daggers, one in each boot. She also has a top notch crossbow that she keeps at the small of her back under her double sided cape (one side white, other side blue). The cape itself is hoisted up above the shoulders making it so that it does not touch her back leaving enough space for the crossbow to be without leaving a mark to its presence. She has two different kinds of bolts, elven steel and silver.
When she is not dressed in either and is just out on her own time, two elven steel daggers, one in each boot.
Weakness (Every character has a weakness, I want to know what it is)
Being Legacy, her senses are all heightened and therefore powerful odors or sounds could mess with her while she gains her bearings if she’s not used to them. Also, while wearing her armor, she is encumbered by it and therefore not as fast as she could be.
History
Born in Meerin, Sam is the daughter of Matthew and Abigail, youngest sister to Johnathan, Malakai and Patricia.
Being of noble blood she had access to all sorts of good things growing while growing up and even now. She got to train from the time she could walk with master fighters that were as impressed with her skills as they had been with her parents, though, not many humans actually knew that the Legacy existed so many were easy to impress.
Her family owned a ranch and raised and sold horses or leased them out for a living. Everyone needed horses and they were the only place to go to buy them as they pretty much owned the monopoly on them, though, other places were known to rent out the horses they had bought from her family. When she turned 12 years old she was to choose her own foal to raise as her own, a foal that would one day be hers to ride should she raise and train it right which would be preferable to always borrowing a family horse to ride. This action was part of the family heritage as it would help the children learn all they needed to know about horses and how to care for them should they be the ones to one day inherit the ranch. Her siblings having already done this before her, she had learned a lot from watching them do it and they complained at times that she therefore had it easier than they did.
Being born in a noble family also meant attending the parties and therefore she had to learn to dance. She was provided with the best teachers and learned every dance style. The things she learned she found quite fascinating and enjoyable for a few reasons. It was nice to do something different now and then and it gave her ideas to add to her combat style.
Though increased speed, dexterity and agility were something that came naturally to her people she did not take them for granted and ran for miles every day, making sure to take paths through the woods where she’d need to jump over or otherwise contour obstacles.
With years of training she quickly became one of the youngest to reach knighthood at only 16, and one of the only women knights in history. Having her own horse (like many of the knights) which she was then extremely proficient at riding, she also got to have jobs which granted her the right to have Silver with her.
Coming of age surrounded by all those boys was not always easy though. She kept having to remind herself of her family heritage and not allow the boys to get anywhere with her while also not telling them the truth as to why seeing as they would probably think she was making it up anyways and even if they did happen to believe her, they’d probably try to win her over anyways, especially with how pretty she was.
The boys knew however not to mess with her as she was the top of every class and could take any of them out. They could never figure out how she always had the upper hand in melee training. The couple seconds of forewarning that the legacy her forefathers left her was in part to thank for it, another part was her heightened senses and increased speed, agility and dexterity, also thanks to her heritage.
Now years later and fully an adult, she’s taken to increasing her training and not diminishing it as most knights did and has achieved a very athletic physique which she is proud of yet keeps hidden under all her amour for the most part.
Other (Does your character have tattoos, piercings a pet, horse ect.)
She owns, what on earth be called, a Clydesdale/Thoroughbred mix horse. It is silver in color for the most part except its legs, tail and mane which are black. She calls it Silver. What do you want from a 12 year old? Original names?
