Paige Lyvis

I know I'm a bit new to be posting something like this, but I'm an RPG enthusiast and I've never done the whole fighting thing before so I thought I'd give it a go. xD

---

Name: Paige Lyvis.

Age: 21.

Race: Human.

Sex: Female.

Hair: Paige's vanity forbids her to cut her hair short – whether or not it makes her more liable to get killed. Its colour is a somewhat mundane black, which never seems to stay as shiny as she wants it to for long enough, and she keeps it in a messy braid that reaches the small of her back.

Eyes: Blue-grey.

Weight: 49kg.

Height: 162cm.

Weapon: Six daggers – two kept under her armpits, two at her hips and two in her boots. She keeps so many not because she uses them all at once, but so that they are always easily reached, and if she has to throw two or three then she still has some left should the need to use them arise.

Armor: Paige's armor is light, since while she has stamina she simply doesn't have the strength to carry full armor over long distances. She wears a chainmail vest under her clothing, reinforced directly over her chest to better protect her heart. Three-inch-long metal wristbands can be used to deflect projectiles, and she wears a metal band around her neck and large (but somewhat thin) metal shin and thigh protectors also; all of which is worn underneath her clothing. She also has a helmet that she picked up from a battlefield, but she only wears this when sleeping in a less than safe location, since such a state of vulnerability leaves her a little paranoid.

Strengths: She's very fast and extremely agile, giving her the advantage over slower (but sometimes much, much stronger) opponents. Paige is fascinated by magic, and while she doesn't have great patience, her pure enthusiasm seems to have made up for that in leading her to achieve mastery over some magical arts. She is also excellent at hiding, a talent she has perfected after a lot of practice.

Weakness: Paige is painfully vain; if she's liable to get irreparably scarred or otherwise marked by something, she'll give it a wide berth and have no qualms against simply running away at any point. Also, being somewhat skinny, she's not very strong and is easily overpowered if one does actually manage to catch her. Her one major phobia is of domestic cats – wild cats (such as ocelots) frighten her, but not so much, and big cats (such as leopards) barely startle her at all.

Skills/Magic: A firm believer in variety being the spice of life, Paige has tried to keep her options open by learning as much drastically different magic as she possibly can. She places her faith in the element of fire, as far as offense goes – though she has a lesser, yet working, knowledge of offensive ice magic in the event that her foe has some protection against or immunity to fire. Recognising her weakness in the event of her capture, she has managed to perfect the ability to nullify most barrier and capturing magic so as to make said event less likely. Other magic she has learned includes the ability to have any piece of reflected material flash brightly, as though light has hit it, even in the dark. A recent spell she has been learning is one to make herself smaller, and while she isn't even close to perfecting this one yet, she can become up to twelve inches shorter on command.

Appearance: Paige Lyvis isn't beautiful by any stretch of the imagination – black hair, blue-grey eyes and clear skin of a normal shade make quite sure that as far as being attractive goes, she can be described as 'pretty' at best. At 162cm, she's also very short for her age. Being slender bordering on skinny makes her limbs look fragile, but also gives her movements an odd sort of grace.
As far as features go, Paige's eyes are slightly bigger than normal, giving the impression of innocence even to the casual onlooker. Her nose is small and slightly pointed, her lips are thin and pink, and her mouth is almost heartshaped. She has a dimple in her right cheek, but not in her left – not as a result of any injury or mishap, but simply how she was born.

Personality: First and foremost, Paige is a girl. She likes to make that fact as obvious as possible by refraining from manly things as much as she can; she doesn't drink alcohol, she washes at every opportunity, she keeps her hair long and doesn't even attempt to build up her strength. Though while she is a girl, she is still bored extremely easily and inorexably drawn to the thrill of a fight – she makes up for this manly behaviour (along with the travesty of having to wear trousers for the extra protection) by relying on speed, agility and magic during such things; to her, that's the more feminine way of doing things.
Sometimes Paige can be very quick on the uptake, but just as often she can be absolutely oblivious to something that somebody is trying to make apparent to her. Being rather pessimistic, she's constantly looking for the bad side of every situation and pointing out the worst case scenario of everything. Of course, she calls it being realistic.

Biography: Paige is about as normal as it gets. She was born a healthy baby to parents Rowan and Amy, and grew up a happy little girl. Though it wasn't long before it became apparent to everyone that what Paige enjoyed doing more than anything was fighting – with friends, enemies or even total strangers. For this reason she had no female friends; they were all too frightened of her, and while the boys her age tried again and again to prove otherwise, so too were they... to some extent.
As a teenager, Paige became restless at home and anxious to travel. After all, she reasoned; why did all those places exist if one wasn't to go and see them? What were all those other people for if not to meet, to either best or be bested by? She spent her teenage years observing the boys train in combat for she was forbidden, being female in a rather backward sort of town, to do so herself. At the age of fourteen she began taking secret lessons in magic from one of her town's more friendly elders, who never once let on to anyone else that he was teaching her such things.
As soon as she was able (this being partway into her nineteenth year), Paige left home against her parents' wishes for the sole – and rather romantic – purpose of travelling wherever her feet took her and improving her fighting skill.
She's been travelling ever since, picking up skills from others where she can, and trying to become at least proficient in as many different techniques as possible.

She looks good to me. ^^
