Ariadne
You are silent.
Your heart, so frail and delicate, is locked away in a cage of your own making.
You were abused and misused by evil men who trampled upon your soul. The marks they left, you carry still.
You cannot forget and the pain lingers on.
So you hide. You hide away, deep within yourself.
You shut out the light, so that the darkness won't seem so hard to bear.
But you were not made for the darkness, dear one.
There are songs that lie buried, deep down inside of you, longing to break forth. Hope waits, dormant, at the threshold of your soul.
One day, the light will come.
This bondage will end.
Freedom will find you.
And all will be well.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Ariadne was born with a super-human strength. Even at a young age she was showing signs of abnormal muscular ability-lifting and carrying things twice her weight, pushing heavy objects with ease-and her strength only increased as she aged. Standing just under 6'0" Ariadne is tall for a woman. From her years of training, she is agile and muscular and can move quickly and efficiently, even while bearing heavy loads.
Body Features
She has short, extremely curly, red hair. It being culturally unacceptable for females to cut their hair, this feature only adds to Ariadne's oddity.
Identifying Characteristics
Ariadne's body is a living testimony to the brutality and abuse she experienced in the arena. She bears multiple scars on her arms and back and her left hand is missing several fingers. A large scar is evident on her left rib from a stab wound she received while fencing.
Apparel & Accessories
She dresses in a simple grey tunic and black leggings. She is often hooded and cloaked, but will go bare headed when necessary.
Specialized Equipment
Her excellent skill with sword and bow allows her to be well protected and she never walks about unarmed. Besides her sword, she carries concealed daggers.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Ariadne was born to a poor, single mother, who died shortly after her fifth birthday. For the next two years she lived on the streets, until kidnapped by a traveling circus man, who exploited her extraordinary abilities for his monetary gain. Five years later, she was sold to a wealthy slave trader who forced her to labor in his world-renowned Hectus Arena. After ten years of abusive treatment, she escaped and disappeared into hiding.
Education
Ariadne gained around six years worth of training in sword fighting, archery, wrestling, and hand-to-hand combat.
