Raids have always been a constant threat to his village, but this one could be the last Sedric would have to endure.
The attacker's aggressive battle cry ended abruptly as his sword unexpectedly met metallic resistance.
Towering over Sedric was the imposing figure of a warrior in ornate armor. She held her shield at an angle in a defensive pose, like a rampart between the looter and the old man.
"Hear my first and only warning. Stow your blade, gather your band, and leave this place. I have no desire to kill you, but know that if you leave me no choice, I will not hesitate," she spoke in a calm but determined tone.
Deprived of his supposedly easy-to-get prey, the troublemaker, after a moment's hesitation, began to strike again.
Amazed, Sedric followed the graceful movements of his defender as she deflected the subsequent attack with her shield in such a way that her opponent lost his balance for a moment. In the shadow of her movement, the tip of her own blade traced a magical rune in the air, and as the counterattack struck the stunned lout, her blade, lit with blazing light, sliced through muscle and bone with seemingly effortless ease.
With a dull thump, the head, singed at the neck, hit the ground before the rest of his body tipped back lifelessly.
The spectacle did not go unnoticed, and shortly thereafter the other looters took to their heels.
Still frozen in fear, Sedric tried to thank his savior, but she forestalled him.
"If you can stand, come with me to tend your wounded. Bury your dead and give this man a proper burial as well."
Appearance
Physical Description
Aideen stands at an impressive height of 6 feet (1.8m), with a strong and athletic build. Her long blond hair, often styled in intricate braids for practicality, cascades down her back, accentuating her elven features. Her piercing emerald eyes, though filled with a touch of sadness, hold a depth of authority and determination.
Identifying Characteristics
She adorns herself in medium armor, a mixtrue of elven elegance and practicality, allowing her freedom of movement while providing adequate defense. Her weapons of choice are a gleaming bastard sword, which she wields with great skill and finesse, and a sturdy shield intricately engraved with her family crest.
An educated observer may note the absence of any kind of adornment on the women's blade, which was chosen quite deliberately. While the elaborately crafted armor and the family crest depicted on her shield pay homage to elven craftsmanship and her origins, respectively, she regards the naked blade as a tool devoid of any personal connotations that she tries to wield with equal openness.

Aideen is a skilled melee combatant, combining her swordsmanship with her magical abilities to devastating effect. She is determined and possesses exceptional discipline, allowing her to remain focused even in the face of adversity.

She believes that through her actions, she can make a positive impact on the world and find redemption for herself.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Aideen often hides her insecurities and remorse behind a controlled facade. Her stoic appearance leads to her bottling up her emotions, making it difficult for her to connect with others on an emotional level.
Her remorse and guilt can also cloud her judgment at times, causing her to take unnecessary risks.
Likes & Dislikes
She enjoys spending her free time reading books on magic and history. Aideen has a fondness for the calming sound of rain and finds solace in the quiet moments of a storm. She also appreciates the beauty and ambient sounds of nature, which soothe her and remind her of her childhood.

Aideen prefers to resolve conflicts peacefully, but when pushed, she won't hesitate to raise her sword and channel her magic into her strikes to stand up for what she believes is right.
Vices & Personality flaws
Aideen carries the weight of her past and seeks to make amends by righting the wrongs she encounters on her adventures.
While there is nothing fundamentally wrong with this approach, one cannot ignore the fact that Aideen seems unable to measure her own redress efforts by the same standards she holds for everyone else.
Even before Aideen started her journey, she tried everything in her power to help her brother. For nights she had combed through every available book on magic and healing. She had voluntarily assisted her mother in every experiment as a subject, and looked to every corner of her own country for scholars who could have helped her. But to no avail.
Although her parents are equally concerned about their son's condition, they had managed to forgive her but in her eyes, there was no partial success, no partial redemption.
Personality Quirks
She has a habit of absentmindedly tracing the intricate patterns on her shield when lost in thought. However, Aideen adopted this behavior on purpose, having a history of wandering around and getting lost in the most familiar places instead.
She also has a soft spot for animals and often takes the time to help injured creatures she encounters on her travels.
