Appearance

You see before you a tall woman of athletic build. You can tell by her demeanor she has led a difficult and dangerous life. She stands upright and proud, with auburn hair, blue eyes, and a soft pointed nose. She is pretty, in a plain way. She ties her hair back in a very practical fashion that gives away her common bloodline.

She is wearing black boots which come up to her knees, dark grey trousers, and a black plain tunic. On her shoulders she wears a black mantle with dark purple trim.

She carries a two handed falchion in a scabbard at her side, and a cruel looking curved dagger.

Early Life

Svetlana was born a servant girl. In her teens she had been purchased by the then Grande Panetier of Luria Nova Raine Gildre. Servitude to Raine had been tedious at best, and demeaning and loathsome at best. Svetlana would often gaze out the castle windows at Poryatown, imagining a life of adventure. Raine would have her complete clerical duties instead, and publicly ridicule her for sub par performance. Svetlana could barely read and write, and could not hope to keep up with the bookish Raine.

Rather than live a life of punishment and humiliation, Svetlana decided to run away. During the night, she fled the castle, and ended up finding refuge at a Royal Rangers guild house.

A Life of Adventure

Svetlana joined the Rangers, and began the life she had dreamed of for so long. She lived on the road, traveling from region to region, dispatching monsters and other dwellers of the night. There was much her dreams had left out: sleeping on flea ridden beds, or on the cold ground in the rain, the absence of baths, earning enough coin to feed yourself lest you starve. She managed, however, through perseverance to succeed in her adventures, destroying much evil in the world.

Eventually Svetlana became a quite efficient killer. Her victories began to overwhelm her defeats until she could hardly remember an opponent besting her. It was then that a nobleman approached her with an offer of knighthood. He had heard of her exploits, and offered to raise her station and pay for her passage to the East Continent to fight in the wars there. Lacking any real challenge in her life, she accepted.
