Magic: 9/10
Intelligence: 8/10
Strength(s)/Power(s): Because of his family’s enormous wealth and renowned career as excellent wielders of the arcane arts, Cassius managed to read several grimoires from the grand library and learn numerous spells under the vigilant tutelage of his parents. He also has considerable training with thrusting swords, such as rapiers, and thus uses a steel estoc to fend off any enemies until he can prepare a spell or discover some plan of escape. He is rather quick on his feet as well, allowing him to slip away from his opponents if it seems victory is entirely impossible.
Weakness(es): Though he has ferocious spells at his fingertips, he is relatively weak and frail compared to the typical individual. He is capable of using a thrusting sword as previously mentioned, but he is still not that extremely skilled with it and so it is usually meant as a last resort if necessary. Additionally, he may be nimble but he cannot continue running for long and requires frequent breaks to catch his breath. Therefore, if an individual who is talented with a blade or simply brute strength that also has a ton of stamina comes into contact with Cassius, they will more than likely have the advantage until he casts a spell to turn the tide in his favor if that is even possible.

Whenever the young and skilled wizard is not preoccupied with his studies, scribbling new spells into his personal spellbook, he is frequently discovered at the local taverns with his flamboyant aura. He teasingly plays with anybody he meets there, sometimes flirting with people if he finds them attractive yet his narcissistic attitude can immediately result in some individuals leaving his side in search of better company. He has attempted to suppress his obnoxious self-centeredness, however, it has become increasingly difficult with each try. Cassius adores reading in his free time, finding a quiet spot when he can and entertaining himself with a great novel. He also loves watching plays.

On August 13th, the Lenoir family was blessed with their first son. The boy’s proud father, Kareem Lenoir, was absolutely ecstatic as was his joyful mother, Odelia Lenoir, who had been hoping to have a son for their second child. Aveline Lenoir, the boy’s older sister by three years, was grateful to have a new brother to keep her company. The Lenoir family were entirely all tieflings located in the grand port city of Mournstead, a well-known city in the Graeyoth Kingdom which is a land ruled by several noble houses who follow a decently benevolent king. Mournstead was a city in which most tieflings lived in the nasty slums, treated as filth for the infernal blood that courses through their veins, however, the Lenoir family managed to acquire their wealth through hard work serving as the city’s protectors with their incredible magic. Apparently, Kareem’s grandfather had been born as a sorcerer which meant that he naturally could use magic because of his unique blood, and thus the current lord mayor noticed this vast potential. The special tiefling was given status and wealth as long as he kept the marvelous city safe, proving his immense strength when he burned an entire fleet of pirates that ravaged the port city for decades. Thus, the Lenoir family was appreciated for their valiant efforts as long as they continued their occupation though only Kareem’s grandfather was born as a sorcerer while the others had to learn their magic from spellbooks, but they were still rapidly able to use these new spells with relative ease. Therefore, just like his father, the young boy named Cassius Lenoir was forced on the path to follow the family’s footsteps and become a superb wizard.

Though Cassius initially despised being forced down this career path that he did not choose himself, Kareem exposed the wonders of the arcane arts to the boy and he was swiftly enthralled by it. After all, not all magic was used to destroy or protect people, since some spells could be used to trick others or assist in charming others whenever it was necessary. Cassius personally believed that magic could solve any issue and that his loving family would always be there for him. Still, he had vivid imaginations of him traveling around the world and uncovering new things on his remarkable adventures. His sister, Aveline, was trained by their mother to use magic as well though she primarily taught her daughter spells that focused on healing. Nevertheless, Cassius and Aveline would show each other the various spells they have learned, shocking each other with their stunning powers and playing together when they could. They shared an unbreakable bond similar to the strong connection they had with their beloved parents. In all honesty, Cassius could not envision a world where people hated his family, but dark rumors had spread across Mournstead about the Lenoir family. These individuals were humans that were disgusted by the rise of the Lenoir family, believing they should remain in the slums with the rest of their infernal kind. Of course, these were only humans that were merely jealous or simply hated them for their species but certainly nothing terrible could ever begin from those dark emotions – or so it seemed during that peaceful time.

Whenever a terrible plague spread across Graeyoth, some of the humans within Mournstead that utterly loathe tieflings believed their cursed blood had something to do with the horrible illness, publicly claiming that the divine deities were punishing them for associating with the demons. For the first couple of weeks, these humans that spouted this discriminate hatred seemed like bizarre maniacs but eventually more people listened to their cause, desperately searching for a way to end the sickness and so they began to slowly believe that the tieflings were in fact somehow responsible for all of this carnage. Therefore, one awful night, a significant group of humans rioted through the slums of Mournstead and committed violent murders to anybody resembling a tiefling. More than half of the tieflings were horrifically slain by these humans, waking up in the middle of the night to the hateful shouting before these killers burst into their homes and slaughtered them. Hundreds of tieflings lined the bloodstained streets, the rats feasting on their corpses until the guard led by House Ambrose suppressed the riots in which they had to use violence as well in order to quell the gory massacre. However, as the soldiers struggled to stop the riots in the slums, they were unaware of another group that led a riot to the Lenoir mansion that resided in the section of the city where most rich individuals lived.

Kareem Lenoir woke to the sound of the servants frantically begging for the family to flee while they could, wishing to save their masters but some of the servants instead were part of the group that believed that tieflings were the cause of the plague. These servants murdered the others before the Lenoir family in which Kareem wielded ferocious flames that burned down the traitors. However, one of them had unlocked the main entrance as well as the locked iron gate and thus the rioters poured into the mansion in a murderous swarm. Kareem tried to fend them off with his spells, commanding his wife to escape with the children and claimed he would see her soon, yet the swarm of hatred overwhelmed him and he was stabbed an almost uncountable number of times. Still, Odelia Lenoir managed to gather her children and locked themselves in a room. Unfortunately, the wrathful humans discovered them and broke in, slaying the childrens’ mother in front of them before preparing themselves to finish off the Lenoir family. As one went for the kill, the raging emotions of anger and sadness filled Cassius caused him to unleash powerful spells from his eleven years of training that decimated the rioters. Some had survived the attack and noticed that Cassius was weak, charging in to finish off the children but the guards arrived in the nick of time, cutting down the opposing humans before rescuing the tieflings from the burning mansion. With their parents dead, Cassius and Aveline acquired the enormous wealth that their brutally killed parents left behind yet they both did not want it whatsoever. They merely wished for their parents to return, unable to properly understand why these terrible humans committed such heinous acts because they hated tieflings simply because of their blood.

With the Lenoir family's wealth, the children restored the mansion and silently lived together. They could no longer play together, unable to find joy in their lives for several years. Once they were both eighteen, they both had been continuing their studies while Cassius attempted to drown the miserable thoughts that clogged his mind by being surrounded by other people in taverns. He picked up a narcissistic attitude over the years, showing off his magic and stating how unique he was compared to the others in the city, but he knew that he had to get rid of that awful side of him. It was during this particular period of his life that he realized there was only one way to move on from the murder of his parents and that was to relive the childish dream he had that involved him exploring the world. It was a dumb ambition of his yet he yearned to uncover more arcane things about the beautiful world, not resorting to hating humans as Aveline had over the past couple of years. After telling his sister about his new plan to travel the world, to discover new things and go on amazing adventures, she insisted that she would safely remain at the mansion and protect Mournstead like their parents would have wanted them to do. The two argued for what felt like an eternity until Cassius left, deciding he would no longer live in despair like his unfortunate sister was but he knew that the death of his parents would never leave his mind. Still, this was the right step for him and thus began his incredible journey to better himself as a person as well as to discover more about the world that he lived in.

Strength(s)/Power(s): Because of the special training that Maxine received throughout her childhood, she is incredibly accurate with most firearms. She has a particular fondness for sniper rifles and handguns, however, she has been trained to properly handle any rifle including assault rifles. Besides her marksmanship mastery, Maxine is extremely agile and flexible which allows her to escape almost any dangerous situation with relative ease.

With her abilities, normal people could never defeat or capture her without an amazing plan to succeed.

Therefore, if she currently pursuing her target, she will not examine her surroundings and hence a trap could be set without her realizing it until it is too late.

Lastly, she is secretly emotional and will hesitantly surrender if her opponent threatens to kill some innocent bystander or somebody she loves.

When Maxine is not doing any wetwork for the Ebony Serpents, she can be discovered at her comfortable apartment prepping for the next assignment, which involves cleaning her weapons and browsing the black market for any other goodies. Though, when she is not preoccupied with her occupation or keeping up with her training, she usually watches her favorite shows and movies while sneaking in a snack or two. She used to read more frequently but she believes that watching television is the ideal way for her to relax and be as lazy as she wishes to be. She even goes out on special occasions to clubs or cafés for a pleasant change, finding it strangely satisfying to see people enjoying themselves. And, if she is not doing any of these, Maxine puts on headphones and listens to her favorite music while laying on her bed.

On July 8, the Ebony Serpents acquired their newest member into their massive organization from the Creed family. The Ebony Serpents are a vicious organized crime syndicate frequently compared to the mafia, except that most individuals are unaware of the existence of the Ebony Serpents unless they are involved with the criminal underworld. It is not necessarily a secret society, but merely a frightening syndicate that attempts to do its dirty work away from prying eyes such as the police and the general public. As for the Creed family, they are loyal contract killers for the Ebony Serpents and have been ever since the syndicate began, used as crucial pawns for the organization that does any wetwork that is required such as assassination. However, the Creed family is restricted to only having four members which obviously includes a mother, father, and two children just in case one died. In order to locate a spouse, the Ebony Serpents usually provided a suitable spouse. It is tradition for the child to kill one of their parents once their training is complete before accepting any official jobs from the Ebony Serpents, and thus Maxine Creed was thrown into a world that she desired to never have been born in. After all, compared to other members of the Creed family, she wished to not harm a single soul, and yet her unfortunate fate forced her to do otherwise.

Maxine’s parents expected her to be a boy and so they intended to name their child Max, yet they were obviously forced to change it when the doctor notified them that they were having a daughter. It seemed somewhat embarrassing but Maxine meant “greatness,” and her father yearned to have a worthy successor so he considered the name extremely fitting for his child. Whenever Maxine was four years old, her intense training began in which she was taught a variety of topics dealing with assassination, such as how to use firearms and make the perfect preparations to eliminate a target. The Ebony Serpents handsomely paid the Creed family for their services and thus they had access to essentially anything they wanted, yet the requirements to obtain such wealth was simply too much in Maxine’s mind. Still, as the years passed, she grew numb to the thought of killing or so she thought until the day came for her final test and she was asked to kill her father. Despite the fact that all of the Creed family were professional killers, they had treated Maxine with love and respect similar to a normal family. Therefore, when she plunged her knife into her father’s throat after a challenging struggle and witnessed him release a final gasp of air, Maxine secretly returned to her previous mindset of never wishing to hurt anybody in this cruel world. The first people that a Creed member murders is their own parent as if being a professional contract killer for a dangerous syndicate wasn’t terrible enough.

As for the rest of Maxine’s background, she has become the official killer for the Ebony Serpents just like her father, tasked with eliminating any troublesome individuals and being awarded for her gruesome deeds. She has been nicknamed the “Venomous Viper” since she strikes her targets with astounding swiftness similar to a viper and vanishes without a single trace. It made her want to vomit to murder people and yet there was no turning back in her head. If she attempted to flee from the syndicate, she would eventually be discovered and shame the entire Creed family. She did have a brother but she was never allowed to see him since his sole purpose in life is to provide the next offspring of the Creed family whenever Maxine becomes useless to the organization. Her entire life is to be used as a puppet and Maxine despises almost every moment of her existence, wishing to have been born into a normal family who did not have such a murderous occupation. She does not intend to shame her family, but it becomes more difficult to kill people who have done nothing wrong to her and it is becoming increasingly obvious that she is growing tired of this bloodstained lifestyle. Perhaps one day, Maxine will be provided with the perfect opportunity to acquire freedom from the Ebony Serpents or she might simply defy orders one day and go against the terrifying syndicate in order to live her own life.

Strength(s)/Power(s): Due to his family’s traditional beliefs, Viggo has been trained ever since he was able to wield a knife in the art of war and taught combative skills.

Weakness(es): Though Viggo is a lethal warrior in battle, he is typically stubborn and can easily be caught off guard if he is entirely focused on a particular individual. Furthermore, if somebody frequently mentions his height, he can be enraged and thus lose even more attention to his surroundings. Additionally, he has an immense fear of rats and mice.

Considering how much of Viggo’s time is spent training or participating in conflicts, he rarely has enough time for any hobbies and simply adores the thrill of a phenomenal fight. However, if he does manage to acquire some free time, he is known to drink with his companions at the local tavern, listening to their tales of war and finding it oddly delightful to hear all the gory details. Otherwise, he can be spotted wandering around and merely exploring an area while he waits for his next job, more than likely hoping some foolish bandits would attempt to mug him so he could once more fight.

On November 18th, a new addition to the renowned and feared Ulfriksson family was born during a vicious storm in which Alrik Ulfriksson claimed was a wonderful sign for the newborn son, who was named Viggo which literally means battle and fight. The age of Vikings that terrorized Europe ended centuries ago and yet the Ulfriksson family were stuck in those old traditions of warfare despite the world changing around them. Instead of following their ancestors and becoming violent Vikings, they instead made their new occupation as mercenaries and every single son has been raised to become a mercenary ever since the Viking raids concluded. Viggo was no exception and thus he was forced to be educated about the art of warfare as well as be trained how to use a blade as young as he can recall. His earliest memory was him gripping a dagger and gazing at his reflection in the shiny steel, unaware at that time that it was a tool primarily used for murder nor could he have known how he would become a vicious killer himself.

Viggo was fortunately raised in a wealthy family, because of their success as mercenaries, and thus he had access to an entire estate that had a stable and a gorgeous garden. He loved to spend any of his free time outside roaming the estate and playing with his two older brothers, Sigurd and Garm. Both were relatively caring brothers yet Sigurd was kinder than Garm, who was always extremely satisfied that Viggo could never beat him at any game. Even when they trained together, Garm never allowed Viggo a chance for victory and would relentlessly beat him down with the training sword. Though Viggo was furious that he could never defeat Garm, it motivated him to train even harder than his brothers in order to one day achieve a win over his cocky brother. Still, they were close and would do essentially everything they could together, spending most of their days whenever they were not training going to a creek and messing around. Overall, Viggo’s childhood was the same as any Ulfriksson and he was lucky enough to have a rivalry with his older brother since it did in fact result in him being an excellent fighter.

As the years passed by, Garm left the family estate when he was eighteen in order to make a name for himself, following the Ulfriksson tradition, and told Viggo to attempt to catch up to him. The following year, Sigurd left and notified Viggo that he could do anything as long as he tried his best. After three more years had passed, it was finally time for Viggo to leave and make a name for himself as a mercenary in honor of the Ulfriksson name. His family said their farewells and he was practically thrown into the world which certainly had different ideals yet he was truly a fierce mercenary. Despite him being shorter than most men of the world, Viggo was known as one of the most violent mercenaries who could supposedly shred an entire battalion on his own. Some used the nickname, “Viggo the Short,” in order to mock him, and yet those who fear him label him as the “Crimson Warrior,” since most soldiers claim that he is typically stained with the blood of his enemies after a battle.

As for his present whereabouts, it has been roughly six years since Viggo left the Ulfriksson estate and resumes accepting any job that handsomely pays for his bloody services. Though he could return home by now since he is rather famous, he absolutely adores the thrill of a fight and feels incredibly satisfied whenever he uses his combative skills to eliminate another warrior. In fact, Viggo has realized that he feels most alive whenever he is risking it in battle and simply wishes to participate in further conflicts, not even slightly concerned about seeking a lover or returning home to visit his family. Viggo only has the desire to find other worthy warriors to battle and does secretly hope that he stumbles upon Garm one day in order to duel him once more.

Strength(s)/Power(s): Though Erika is not exceptionally strong, especially when compared to the other elites in the Military Police Brigade, she is remarkably swift and has practically mastered the Omni-directional mobility gear. Hence, though she is not powerful, Erika can zip through the battlefield and be the first to engage the enemy as well as easily maneuver herself to avoid a titan’s attacks. Then again, she did not join the Military Police Brigade to battle titans in the first place; however, if she was forced to fight a titan, she would more than likely be used as a speedy distraction in order to allow a stronger soldier to eliminate the monstrosity.
Weakness(es): As much as Erika is almost impossible to catch because of her incredible talent with the ODM gear, and even being extremely agile on her feet, she is a very emotional person. She is highly intelligent and resourceful, however, she struggles to contain her emotions which can result in her making irrational decisions if a loved one is in danger. Though her skills are not entirely dulled during her emotional outbursts, she is less aware of her surroundings and her speedy movements become predictable and straightforward. In other words, if one wishes to defeat her, they must merely touch upon a sensitive topic of hers or simply injure somebody she holds dearly close to make her less of a threat.

Whenever Erika is not occupied with her duties serving under the Military Police Brigade, she is typically discovered aimlessly wandering and finding a comfortable spot to read a book. If she is not wishing to read, she still strolls around the city in order to take in the sights or essentially clinging onto a friend, chatting with them for however long the both of them can manage to do so. And, if she is not doing any of these activities, then she is usually in her room and scribbling schemes in her small, leather journal as she resumes her lethal journey to eliminate those who have wronged House Vogel.

Erika Vogel was born in the year 832 within the safety of the walls. House Vogel was a noble house that does not recall much of its history before the walls, however, it only remembers that they had been loyal to the king and even now remain devoted to the monarchy. In fact, when their children were of age, House Vogel would send their sons to join the military and devote themselves to the king in which they served. If their sons were unable to make it in the Military Police Brigade, they would typically join the Garrison Regiment and protect the walls against the vile titans. Erika’s childhood consisted of her being raised in an estate where she had the complete liberty to roam the grounds and was taught by a diligent tutor. Erika would frequently adore wandering the estate and discovering new spots where she could read her stories, her eyes gazing up at the beautiful sky and getting lost in her head at times. Her family had nicknamed her Sparrow because she almost seemed to never stay in one place as if she was a bird soaring around the estate. Furthermore, the nickname rather suited a member of House Vogel in which the literal meaning of Vogel is ‘bird’. Overall, Erika lived the life of a normal girl who was born in a wealthy noble house.

However, in the year 845, when Erika was only thirteen years old, an overwhelming catastrophe occurred in which Wall Maria was breached by the titans that plagued their lands outside the massive walls. After the fall of Shiganshina and moments after the Armored Titan forced through Wall Maria, a Garrison Regiment soldier alerted House Vogel that they should evacuate immediately before the titans arrive and devour them all. If House Vogel were lost, a noble house that openly supported the monarchy and its battle against the titans, it would be a crushing blow to the military. However, as House Vogel was preparing to leave, House Engel had received news of Wall Maria falling as well. House Engel was located within the safety of Wall Rose, but House Engel believed that the remaining humans within the walls should never confront the titans and stay safe inside them. Furthermore, House Engel knew of the vast wealth that House Vogel had acquired through their years of faithfully serving the King, and hence they saw the perfect opportunity to eliminate a threat to their personal belief but also acquire some new wealth.

As House Vogel was gathering their necessities to flee to safety, House Engel stormed the estate with its men and began slaughtering anybody who was unfamiliar to them. Since the members of House Vogel had already gathered some of their wealth, yearning to take it with them to Wall Rose so they would have some funds, it was easy for the attackers to steal the treasure and flee after butchering everybody they could find. Unfortunately, Erika survived the whole ordeal by hiding in a spot that only she knew of, having found it one day when she was exploring the estate and witnessed the brutal carnage of her family and fellow servants be cut down or shot. Her family’s agonizing shrieks and painful cries torment her in her sleep even to this day. After House Engel fled, noticing titans in the distance, Erika sprinted out of her hiding spot and ran as fast as she could. Luckily for her, House Vogel’s estate was close to the entrance of Wall Rose and she was able to safely arrive but not without being seen by some of House Engel’s soldiers. They had attempted to nab her but she had zoomed by them, and though she did not recall much of what they screamed at her, she does vividly remember hearing the name ‘Dieter Engel,’ who was the leader of the massacre of House Vogel and son to House Engel’s head of the family, Otto Engel. In order to escape from her attackers, she had fled through a building that they had set on fire and accidentally tripped and scorched her face from the searing flames. It left a scar on her neck that would never fade away. After surviving the bloodbath, Erika had attempted to explain to the Garrison Regiment how House Engel had butchered her family, but they believed that titans must have killed them and Erika was simply hysterical and hallucinating about what honestly occurred. She had tried to find her fellow brothers who all were serving the Garrison Regiment, but they had been soldiers serving their duty at Shiganshina District and hence they all had been eaten alive by the titans. Erika did not wish for revenge on the titans, but rather she had begun to develop a scheme to obtain her vengeance on House Engel and terrifyingly desire to murder them all as they did with her family.

Erika was sent to a shelter for refugees from Wall Maria and worked on a farm as did many of the younger refugees. She enrolled in the military when she was of age and did everything she could to be among the top ten of her class. She had learned through her time on a farm and asking around whenever she could about House Engel that apparently Dieter Engel had joined the Military Police Brigade and was actually an officer now. Though she was not powerful, she was extremely agile and highly intelligent and thus made it into the elite of the class in which she immediately applied for the Military Police Brigade and began to serve her duty at Stohess District. Though she does her best to make friends and fulfills her assignments, Erika yearns for nothing more than to locate Dieter and make House Engel pay for their grave sins.

Whenever Beatrix has some free time of her own, she used to typically train more with her sword in order to improve any weaknesses she might have during battle. Furthermore, whenever she was with her squad, she would accompany them as they sat around a campfire and drank alcohol, telling stories of whatever kind and having a delightful time. Though, as for her current hobbies, Beatrix mostly stays inside and reads books, attempting to stay away from others and not seeking any trouble whatsoever.

Beatrix Vale was found on the side of the road only a few days after she was born by a mercenary band. The man who stopped to pick her up was none other than Darius Vale, the leader of the mercenary band that labeled themselves as the Red Wolves, in which their flag was simply the red head of a wolf on a black background. Darius was a renowned swordsman and he was even a brilliant tactician who led his fellow troops into battle against any enemy as long as the pay was sufficient enough. It was mostly due to Darius’s leadership and his tough men that the Red Wolves were a mercenary band that was acknowledged as fearsome opponents. So, whenever Darius hopped off his horse to investigate the crying baby on the side of the road that perplexed every mercenary under his command, particularly because Darius had never seemed interested by children before despite the fact they had seen plenty of homeless kids in cities that pleaded for a coin. Regardless, Darius picked up the frail child who kept weeping in his hands and stunned his men whenever he announced that he was going to take the child as his own. To his troops, they would never understand why Darius did so since he has never felt terrible about anything whatsoever, yet the secret was is that Darius realized he was growing older by the day. He had no intention of settling down with some woman in the future because all he desired was to experience the thrill of combat, yet he did not want to grow old and die without having any children in his life. After all, he secretly did want a kid and he felt as if fate was smiling down upon him by giving him this abandoned child. Thus, Beatrix Vale was taken in by the Red Wolves, and she would quickly learn that to be a part of the mercenary band, one must take part in the inevitable battles.

As Beatrix grew older, Darius began teaching everything that a child needs to know in these dark times. He taught her basic stuff such as how to read and write, but then he also started to teach her how to properly wield a sword. To be frank, though it seemed as if Beatrix was being forced to learn how to use a sword, she enjoyed it and shared a close bond with Darius. To her, Darius truly was her father even though it was obvious they were not related by blood. Darius was kind to her yet still was harsh if she made a mistake in her training, attempting to correct it so she does not repeat it in order to ensure she does not fall during her first battle. As for the other mercenaries involved with the Red Wolves, they were concerned at first about having a child among them, but they quickly got attached to the child and were nice to her as well. They would tease her when she made mistakes as she trained and one time she even chased an individual around with a sword after he had angered her too many times. To the Red Wolves, including Darius, Beatrix was a part of their family and nothing could ever change that whatsoever. As time passed, Beatrix was finally able to participate in battles whenever she was twelve years old and proved her skills as a warrior. Of course, she did receive some injuries but she survived and that is all that truly matters to a mercenary; live to see another day and get your payment.

Whenever Beatrix was eighteen years old, Darius believed she clearly had enough experience to receive her own squad which was titled as Beatrix’s Raiders. Though she claimed to Darius that she was not ready, Darius insist and she decided it was best not to argue. Still, Beatrix swiftly fell in love with her squad who nicknamed her “Big Sis Beatrix” and even “Blur,” since she was so quick during a fight that it was almost as if she was a blur herself. Once more, years flew by and the Red Wolves were an almost unstoppable mercenary band, and now even everyone heard of the Beatrix and her squad. Though Beatrix is responsible for killing hundreds of enemy soldiers, she was still a person who enjoyed joking with the other troops and spent countless nights drinking with her squad. Life was not easy and it was a struggle to survive every battle, but her skills as a warrior were incredible and life was perfect in her opinion. Unfortunately, that sort of life would not last for much longer.

Whenever Beatrix was twenty-one, the Red Wolves were hired to aid with defending a stronghold on the border of another nation. Though there was no war occurring between the two nations, there was a tension between them due to prior events that Beatrix could care less about to know. The Red Wolves were tasked to help the fellow soldiers there in case the neighboring nation launched some sort of assault, but they were not aware that they were merely going to be used as a reason to start the war between the two nations. Beatrix was drinking with her squad whenever the first bloodcurdling scream was heard. The soldiers within the stronghold began to attack the Red Wolves, slaughtering any mercenary they came across. Though Beatrix was confused by the surprise attack from the nation that purchased their help, she fought against all she could but the battle was futile. The soldiers had butchered too many Red Wolves with their initial strike, and hence Darius roared that they should retreat. The remaining Red Wolves, including Darius and Beatrix, fled outside the stronghold only to be greeted by a wave of falling arrows. An entire battalion had arrived at the stronghold in an effort to ensure there would be no survivors. The arrows pierced through half of remaining Red Wolves, and the ones that somehow dodged the onslaught of arrows were caught in between the arriving battalion the soldiers within the stronghold. Unfortunately, Darius had not been lucky and was shot with an arrow through his throat. Beatrix, who was only a few feet away, saw him fall and rushed over without a second thought. In his final moments, Darius told Beatrix to run away as fast as she could, and whenever the life left his eyes, she obeyed his command and fled from the bloodshed. Her escape would be impossible if she was not shot in the back with an arrow and accidentally fell into the river.

After her escape, Beatrix learned a few days later that the nation that hired them claimed that the Red Wolves apparently were the ones hired by the neighboring nation and attacked the stronghold, failing and dying like dogs against their superior might. In other words, the Red Wolves were used as an excuse for the nation to declare war without seeming as if they were the ones that yearned for it. Beatrix lost her entire life because some king did not want to look bad. That’s all. This harsh truth crushed her and though she wished for revenge, what could she do singlehandedly against an entire nation and its massive army? With the money she had, Beatrix purchased a cottage in a small village and spent the remainder of her years thus far attempting to overcome her grief. She spent most of her days hiding inside her new home, reading books, and rarely socializing with the other villagers who strayed from her as well, unaware of who she was yet somehow seeming familiar to them. Still, even now, Beatrix dreams of one day in which she can abandon this village and somehow acquire the vengeance she craves for more than anything else.
