The Green Sparrow
Dame Suzume Sakurai (a.k.a. The Green Sparrow)
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Suzune is quite fit, especially in her core and arms, though the clothes she wears often miraculously hide this.
Identifying Characteristics
The overall green hue of her hair and eyes is where she got her nickname, coupled with her family's crest.
Physical quirks
Her eyesight is horrible and without her glasses she is effectively blind beyond a few feet.
Apparel & Accessories
Her everyday wear is usually an unremarkable riding outfit. When traveling far she will wear her full plate set, specially made to allow for less drag while galloping. Her preferred weapon is a lance though she also carries a sword in case she were to ever fall off her horse.
Specialized Equipment
Suzune's helmet is specially crafted with diamond lenses, to allow her to see while fighting.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Suzume's family is tied into wood elven society by a marriage of her aunt. This event defined much of her life as though she is Genosian she was born in Koheno. She spent the first few decades of her life there and took in much of the culture and mannerisms of the area before her family returned to Genos. Upon their return they discovered the lands they owned were in a sorry state, their greedy steward nowhere to be found. The family immediately tried to remedy their situation, sending their daughter to squire for knights in order to pay off favors. Fortunately Suzume found this life fulfilling and decided to pursue it herself just in time to participate in the Island Assailment, becoming the leader of a shock cavalry force that worked in tandem with the future King Yoruko's raiding forces. After the conflict she found great acclaim awaiting her and now she spends her time enjoying the fruits of her success by participating in tournaments and travel, until she encountered a curious goblin who has seemed to change her path.
Sexuality
Suzune is pansexual, a rare thing for high elves, though much more acceptable in wood elven and Genosian culture.
Education
Suzume's education was sporadic. She studied with several philosophers in Koheno, though these lessons never seemed to stick. Her truer calling was realized on the road as a squire, learning of the world by experience.
Employment
Suzume grew up acting as a squire of several knights of Genos since she was young. This continued until she took up arms herself and managed to win enough wealth to remove her family from the precipice of financial ruin.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Suzume wants to set the world right. She has seen the pain of the exiles in Koheno, the horrors of war against Blackmire, and the anarchy that accompanies a coup. Standing against that foe known as ill-fortune drives her.

Religious Views
Suzume comes from a unique frame of view having lived both in Koheno and Genos. While not a fan of the flippant and harsh nature of the worshipers of the elven gods that live in exile in Koheno she has retained a love for the stylistic aspects of their culture. This makes her stand out in the more syncretized Genosian society but has done much to ingratiate her and her family to the King.
Hobbies & Pets
Her horse Kaminari is her dearest companion. He is the newest horse that she has taken as her steed and when he isn't living an incredibly pampered lifestyle he is lazily doing exercises with Suzume to be battle ready.
She kept a pet rabbit during the Island Assailment that was the focal point of the incident that caused her and Yoruko to meet and later join forces.
Speech
Suzume is often nervous when talking to people, giving off an air of meekness in dress or curtness in armor. This does little to showcase her kind heart and gentle soul.
Wealth & Financial state
Suzume's family has been on the up and up since her involvement in the Island Assailment. Her bounties and ransoms netted her and her family enough money to no longer lose sleep over having to sell off their titles while her fame ensured that tournaments and tutoring would keep her income steady.
