Sapphira Lorak

It feels so weird to be reviving my old RP character. It's been years since I've played her.

Just to note, I have no intention of participating in the Battle Arena or whatever. I'll only be involved in the story RPs. So if I'm not too sharp on the battle aspects of this character, you'll have to forgive me.

Name: Sapphira Lorak

Age: Twenty-two.

Race: Human.

Sex: Female.

Hair: Long, layered warm brown hair, parted on the left, with bangs sweeping across her forehead.

Eyes: Green.

Weight: A lady never tells, but somewhere in the vicinity of 130 lbs.

Height: 5'7".

Weapon: Sapphira carries a longsword now. She used to use a staff, but no longer, and her skills with staves are quite rusty. She's fair with a bow and arrow, but she's no dead-eye. Her sword is an unremarkable, light steel longsword with a hand and a half handle. The sword's balance is average, but hilt heavy, build for speed instead of power.

Strengths: Sapphira's best offense comes from her sword, although she does use it rather defensively. She's quite fast, as well.

Weakness: Sapphira works on endurance, not strength, and so when it comes down to locking hilts and pushing, she'll be down pretty quickly. She also lacks magical ability, and therefore has very few defenses against spells.

Skills/Magic: Sapphira has no magic, nor does she have many defenses against it (beyond a few simple and cheap charms against more basic spells). Her sword-fighting abilities are better than average, but she can't do anything particularly skillful. She's more of a strategist than a fighter.

Appearance: Sapphira is a young woman of medium height. Her hair, as stated before, is warm brown in color and long, down to her elbows. She wears it layered, with a part on the left and bangs sweeping across her forehead. When the situation calls for her hair to be out of her face, she typically braids it and goes all "Heidi" with it (braids across head). She prefers to wear earth colors, especially while traveling; she usually wears a tunic and jacket, with brown leggings and knee-high boots. When the situation calls for more formal apparel, she has been known to show up to events wearing a sapphire-blue strappy gown and matching heels.

Personality: Sapphira is quite loyal to her friends, but after a series of events, she finds it very hard to trust people and open up. She can be quite cynical as well, although she is by no means trying to bring anyone down. She prefers to spend her time reading, and writing when time and resources allow. Otherwise, she prefers to keep to herself.

Biography: Sapphira grew up in the city, the daughter of merchants. When she was sixteen, her parents attempted to marry her off to a young man of another prominent household. In response, she ran away to a neighboring city, apprenticing herself to a seamstress. To her surprise, the very man she was supposed to marry had tracked her down, saying that he also had been angry with his parents, but that he thought she was very beautiful, and he wanted to get to know her better. He took up an apprenticeship with a blacksmith, and the two began dating.

After a couple years, however, Sapphira discovered that the young man was actually sent by her parents to woo her in order to make the betrothal happen anyway. While she decided to talk things out with him, since she was in love with him very deeply, she found him in his bedroom with another girl. In her rage, she did what she always does: she left the city to seek another place to live.

For the last four years, since her boyfriend's betrayal, Sapphira has been hopping from place to place, apprenticing herself to different tradespeople. Before apprenticing herself to a blacksmith when she was twenty, she taught herself how to wield a staff. However, since learning how to make swords, she's learned how to use one, too.

She still travels from place to place, trusting very few people, and refusing to get involved in serious relationships. Unfortunately, she is usually quite unfulfilled and restless, which perpetuates her never-ending travels.

Wheehee.

Hey-o~

I just need you to describe her sword, and then I'd be more then glad to Approve her. PM me with any questions you have, =3

It's a sword. Like, your run-of-the-mill sword. She can cut things with it, but it's a little too big to use to spread butter.

There are thousands of different types of swords, care to be more specific?

Edit: Is it a Bastard Sword, a Gladius, a Jian, a katana, A katar, a Rapier, a sabre, a sword breaker, or what? There are lots of types to chose from, but 'sword" is far to vauge.

Is longsword specific enough? You have to understand, if I actually knew anything about swords, I might be able to be more specific. But seriously, you can rest assured that if I know nothing about swords, swords probably won't factor too much into any RP I get involved in.

Longsword works fine =D

Is there anything else? Just let me know.

Nope, sorry I meant to appove him last time xD

Grazie, amico.
