''With a distinctive look and gregarious personality Obsidian Hornet is an easy woman to remember. Formerly a brutal bandit and unscrupulous mercenary Obsidian Hornet has realized the pain she has caused by her actions and has dedicated her life to re-balancing her karmic scales. While she may be brusque, rude, or even violent her actions come from a desire to make the world a better place.''

'''Aliases/Nicknames:'''

''Golden Shadow'': This is her birth name. It is only known to her biological family and the few people in Abalathia’s Spine that knew her as a child.

''Hornet'': Among friends she prefers to be known just as Hornet.

==<div style="padding:5px; border: 2px solid #395c80; background: #0f0e1c; border-radius:15px;"><span style="font-size: 28px; color: #c8c8c8; font-family: Old English Text MT; text-shadow: 3px 3px 3px #4494b9, 8px 8px 8px #81c8d1;">Appearance</span></div>==

'''Face:''' The meticulous care that Hornet gives to her appearance is most evident in her face. Her skin is pampered and free from blemish or scarring at first glance. A very keen eye might notice a faint mark or two on her cheek or forehead but she has done everything she can to make sure they go unnoticed. She keeps her bright blonde hair in a simple slicked-back style with a few strands left free to hang over her ears and frame her face. Her hair receives the same kind of pampering that she gives her skin and it displays all the hallmarks of good health. Her features are soft with rounded cheek-bones and a slightly short chin. Her nose is nearly flat and casts only the barest of silhouettes in profile. Her lips are quite full, almost plump even, and she stains them with a glossy black lip-stain that stands out sharply against her natural skin tone.

'''Eyes: ''' Hornet has taken special care to make her eyes as dramatic as possible without crossing the line into garishness. Her eyes are generally almond shaped and are tilted up slightly at the outside corners. The color of her eyes is a rich, lustrous sort of dark grey that one might expect from a highly polished river stone. A band of yellow paint is carefully arranged across her eyes extending to her ears on each side. The bright yellow stands at a sharp contrast to the dark shine of her irises and creates an effect of which she is quite proud. The yellow paint matches the color of her eyebrows and renders them nearly invisible above her eyes. Without the paint on her eyebrows are visible and quite sharp, giving her face an aggressive quality that is hidden by the band of paint.

'''Body:''' The amount of clothing Hornet is wearing at a given time would lead to two very different impressions of her body. Fully clothed she would appear to have a very lovely figure and achieving an hourglass silhouette. Her skin is soft, apart from the palms of her hands, and she keeps herself meticulously clean and clear of hair on her legs and underarms. With large breasts, a tapered waist, and wide hips she typically dresses to accentuate her femininity and showcase these assets. However, if she is less than fully dressed a very different image is revealed in addition those assets. The rigorous care Hornet gives to maintaining her appearance is very evident in her body. Not as tall or quite as massive as many Roegadyn, Hornet has done everything she can to make up for her relative lack of size in working to build herself into a very impressive physical specimen. Muscular, but not quite bulky, Hornet’s shoulders, arms and back display years-worth of rigorous conditioning. Her abdomen is clearly toned but not quite defined into a six-pack. Powerful legs move her easily and are an indicator of the great endurance she possesses.

==<div style="padding:5px; border: 2px solid #395c80; background: #0f0e1c; border-radius:15px;"><span style="font-size: 28px; color: #c8c8c8; font-family: Old English Text MT; text-shadow: 3px 3px 3px #4494b9, 8px 8px 8px #81c8d1;">Behavior</span></div>==
{| align=right
|-
|
[[File:Hornet Personality.jpg]]
|}
'''Voice:''' Hornet’s voice was sculpted throughout her childhood to embody elegance and erudition. She was taught to speak in a low, pleasing tone that suggests that she is the master of whatever situation she finds herself in. She was taught that confidence should always be apparent when speaking, even if it is feigned. Since leaving home she has rebelled against this mode of speech and has worked to incorporate more of a casual style into her speaking. Her early training is so ingrained though that she finds herself slipping back into her formal manner of speaking very easily.

'''Demeanor:''' Hornet generally tries to project a carefree, easygoing demeanor. Depending on the situation though her demeanor can change radically. What tends to shine through no matter how she presents herself is a deep and abiding sense of personal pride.

'''Personality:''' Among friends Hornet is a smiling, laughing, inquisitive presence who prefers to ask questions of others rather than speak about herself. She can be playfully flirtatious or insulting but the latter she reserves for people she is sure would understand it’s a joke. In fact, the more she likes someone as a friend the more brutal her insults tend to be. When at work she is crisp, cool, and above all else professional. In a fight she can be at turns laughing and mocking her opponent or a grim-faced executioner depending on the situation and how threatened she feels.

'''Flaws:''' Hornet has a tendency to let first impressions cloud her judgment of a person even if new information comes to light that might improve her perception of them or show them to be untrustworthy. She is cocky, quick to anger, and has a tendency to latch on to the small details of a situation and miss the bigger picture.

'''Intelligence:''' Above average, but not tremendously so, Hornet's intellect has neither created or solved any of her biggest problems. She has a lack of book-smarts but her impressive street-smarts have served her well. She has no innate aetheric ability that might be supplemented by her intelligence.

'''Religious Views:''' Worship of the Twelve has never really been a priority for her. She understands that it is important to some people and certainly doesn't look down on people who are devout but it just has never factored into her life. She is sure the Twelve exist but is quite certain that there existence doesn't really mean anything to her day-to-day life.

'''Romance:''' She wants to be someone who is distrustful of love and a romantic skeptic but that would just be an act. In truth, she is a deeply romantic person and has an almost childlike fascination with love stories. She believes whole heartedly in the big, sweeping, dramatic sort of love that she has read about in books starring knights and fair maidens. These children’s stories are something she has clung to throughout her life as a kind of shield to prove to herself that there is something wonderful in the world. This isn’t to say that she falls in love easily (it’s only happened three times) but that she views love as perhaps the only thing in the world that can truly make a difference.

'''Sexuality:''' Love and sex are very different things to Hornet. What she does with her body has little to no bearing on where her heart lies. She is attracted to both sexes equally and most of the time has more than one partner in her life. Recently she has taken to being much more selective with her partners. Hornet is very careful to make sure that her partners are not in a committed relationship with another person or, if they are, that all parties are okay with Hornet's presence.

== <div style="padding:5px; border: 2px solid #395c80; background: #0f0e1c; border-radius:15px;"><span style="font-size: 28px; color: #c8c8c8; font-family: Old English Text MT; text-shadow: 3px 3px 3px #4494b9, 8px 8px 8px #81c8d1;">Combat</span></div> ==

Obsidian Hornet is a very competent fighter in a variety of forms. She is someone who enjoys non-lethal combat a great deal for the physical rush and as a way to satisfy her competitive nature. Fighting has been a part of her life since she was old enough to lift her fists. Even enjoying it as much as she does, she does not relish killing or take pleasure in causing pain. If she kills, it’s for a reason, and she doesn’t drag out the fight longer than she has to.

'''Style:''' This depends entirely on whether she has decided to kill. In what she considers a non-lethal fight she tends to move around quite a bit, using lighter prodding strikes to either wear down or mock her opponent. In non-lethal fights that she considers serious or important she prefers to use a single heavy blow to disable her opponent and encourage them to stop fighting. In a life or death situation she is utterly humorless. When she intends to kill there is no wasted movement and she will bide her time looking for an opening to deliver a single killing blow.

'''Strengths:''' Hornet is very skilled in the use of the two-handed axe and the lance. She prefers weapons with reach and weight, particularly in lethal combat scenarios. She is very aware of her own mortality and has no desire to rush in like a mad dog. She is competent with sword and shield but is still in the process of learning to properly handle them. She has some skill as a hand-to-hand fighter but doesn’t prescribe to any particular martial form preferring to use her strength to overwhelm opponents. She is incredibly flexible and agile with very sharp reflexes and has worked hard to improve her awareness on the battlefield.

'''Weaknesses:''' Hornet has no aetheric abilities and relies entirely on her body to see her through. She is confident to the point of cockiness and as a result can bite off more than she can chew when it comes to fighting. Her style of fighting relies on overwhelming single strikes so a particularly quick or sturdy opponent can tire her out.

Obsidian Hornet has a large family and is the youngest of seven children. She has not had any contact with her family in over ten years.

[[File:Hornet Family Small.jpg]]
|}
'''Father:''' ''Mountain Shadow'' – A famous mercenary who started his family later in life. By the time Hornet was a teenager he was beginning to fall into dementia. He was largely absent from her life but the in the times they were together he was very kind and loving to her.

'''Mother:''' ''Frost Lotus'' – She was a very beautiful Roegadyn woman. She was half her husband’s age when they were married. She is a highly skilled Thaumaturge and Arcanist. She was very stern disciplinarian and fostered a very intense climate of competition amongst her children.

'''Siblings:'''

''Winter Shadow'' - Brother, sixteen years older than Hornet. Hornet doesn't know him very well.

''Steel Shadow'' – Brother, fourteen years older than Hornet. Hornet doesn't know him very well.

''Iron Shadow'' – Brother, ten years older than Hornet. Hornet knows him mostly as her mother’s primary helper and enforcer. Very talented aether user.

''Stone Shadow'' – Brother, seven years older than Hornet. He was kind of lost in the shuffle but wanted very badly to be appreciated by his family, his mother in particular.

''Silver Shadow'' – Sister, three years older than Hornet. Silver was Hornet’s rival from a very young age. Quite plainly, Hornet and her sister hate one another. Particularly since Hornet effectively destroyed her sisters marriage by seducing the groom soon after the wedding.

''Bronze Shadow'' – Brother, one year older than Hornet. He was a meek guy that Hornet bullied more than a little bit when she was growing up. Despite that, or because of it, he is the sibling that Hornet most likes.

<font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>[[Gharen Wolfsong]] – Hornet first met Gharen at a Grindstone training meet-up and was immediately smitten. After a few matches that were more flirting than fighting (for her at least) she admitted her affection for him. She feels a tremendous amount of sympathy for Gharen and what he's been through as it reminds her of her own upbringing. She truly believes that some day Gharen will be able to put his rage behind him and fully embrace the wonderful man that she knows he is. After her return she learned of what [[Delial Grimsong]] and [[Raelisanne Banurein]] did to him while he was imprisoned. She has agreed to not raise her axe against Delial unless Gharen asks her too. She has not yet met Banurein but is eagerly awaiting their first meeting and sharpening her axe as she waits.

<font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Fleeting Dawn]] – Hornet first met Fleeting during a game at the pub in Aleport. They began a physical relationship very quickly and not long after Hornet realized that she had deeper feelings for Fleeting. Their relationship was quite turbulent. They fought often, made-up often, and got Hornet permanently banned from the Mizzenmast in one such episode. Much of the friction in their relationship came from Fleeting's feelings for [[Dennthota Ahtahrmwyn]] and Hornet and Dennthota's conflicting personalities. This culminated in a series of confrontations that led to Hornet's decision to travel the world. Fleeting was understandably upset by Hornet's decision to leave. Since Hornet has returned, she has not seen or heard anything of Fleeting. Hornet's assumption is that Fleeting has made good on her threats to go off and be a hermit somewhere in the mountains. Hornet is unsure of what would happen or how she would feel if she were to ever see Fleeting Dawn again.

<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>[[Anais Fleurdevide]] – Anais is Hornet's closest friend and also a fairly frequent lover of Hornet's. They've known one another for years having worked on the same crew of brigands in the Black Shroud before the Calamity struck. They drifted apart when Anais left to captain her own sailing ship and run refugees out of Garlean held territory. They reunited when Anais asked Hornet to assist her in forming the Black Lotus Cartel, a Free Company under the auspices of the Maelstrom. Even though the Black Lotus Cartel dissolved after only a few months Hornet and Anais remain best friends. Hornet visits Anais whenever she can at Anais's shop in Costa del Sol.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>[[Rasamya Hakara]] – Rasamya was a student of Anais's that Hornet has agreed to keep an eye on as she gets started in the adventuring world. The girls enthusiasm and beauty have captivated Hornet and she has had conflicting feelings about her desire for a more intimate relationship.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>[[Roen Deneith]] – Roen has earned a very special place in Hornet's heart since Hornet found out that Roen was responsible in large part for Gharen's rescue and care after his ordeal. While Hornet feels that Roen may be too sweet for her own good Hornet has promised herself to do everything she can to help Roen with whatever she may need.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>[[Dhemgeim Shyrdoenwyn]] – Though Hornet often has difficulty understanding what Dhem is saying she has become rather fond of Dhem. Dhemgeim strikes Hornet as a woman after her own heart in many ways.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>[[Tausenadel Geispyrsyn]] – Tau is someone Hornet has been acquainted with for a long time but is just recently getting to know better. She likes him in a familial sort of way and thinks that he and Dhemgeim make a very good match.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>[[Dogberry Himalspyr]] – Hornet has only recently begun getting to know Dogberry but she is already impressed with what she has seen.

<font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>[[Sigyn Shieldbreaker]] – Hornet has wanted Sigyn since the moment she met her. Almost everything about the Highlander has caught Hornets attention. The tattoos, the piercings, the attitude. Hornet thinks it is a very sad thing indeed that Sigyn doesn't appear to be interested in her.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>[[Salty Lake]] – Hornet feels a great deal of pity for Salty Lake. Hornet thinks she is a very sweet woman, kind to a fault and far too trusting for her own good.

<td style="vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;"><h3><span class="mw-headline">
<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#0f0e1c;font-size:14px;color:#c8c8c8;"><center>Enemies</center></div></span></h3>

<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Dennthota Ahtahrmwyn]] – Dennthota and Hornet have quite a bit of history between them. Hornet and Denn got off on the wrong foot when Denn became incensed when Hornet refused a dare under the conditions of a game of Truth or Dare. Hornet refused the dare primarily because of how funny she thought Denn's anger was. Things have deteriorated from there. Dennthota's affiliations and actions, particularly those that put Fleeting Dawn into harms way, earned Hornet's ire and the two have had many confrontations. Hornet does not actively want to kill Dennthota, despite Denn's attempt on Hornet's life, and would prefer to simply never have to interact with Dennthota again.

<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Delial Grimsong]] – Hornet has only recently become aware of and met this woman. Her haughty demeanor in a situation where she, in Hornet's estimation, should have been begging for forgiveness created an instant dislike in Hornet. Life is a bit funny that way, if Delial had not been a party to the capture and torture of Gharen Wolfson, Hornet would probably have gotten along famously with Delial. As it stands though, Hornet has only refrained from attempting to kill her because Gharen has not deemed it necessary yet.

<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Raelisanne Banurein]] – Hornet does not know this woman personally. What she does know is that Banurein is responsible for Gharen's capture and torture. Currently she is the only person that Hornet actively wishes to murder.

'''Face:''' The meticulous care that Hornet gives to her appearance is most evident in her face. Her skin is pampered and free from blemish or scarring at first glance. A very keen eye might notice a faint mark or two on her cheek or forehead but she has done everything she can to make sure they go unnoticed. She keeps her bright blonde hair in a simple slicked-back style with a few strands left free to hang over her ears and frame her face. Her hair receives the same kind of pampering that she gives her skin and it displays all the hallmarks of good health. Her features are soft with rounded cheek-bones and a slightly short chin. Her nose is nearly flat and casts only the barest of silhouettes in profile. Her lips are quite full, almost plump even, and she stains them with a glossy black lip-stain that stands out sharply against her natural skin tone.

'''Eyes: ''' Hornet has taken special care to make her eyes as dramatic as possible without crossing the line into garishness. Her eyes are generally almond shaped and are tilted up slightly at the outside corners. The color of her eyes is a rich, lustrous sort of dark grey that one might expect from a highly polished river stone. A band of yellow paint is carefully arranged across her eyes extending to her ears on each side. The bright yellow stands at a sharp contrast to the dark shine of her irises and creates an effect of which she is quite proud. The yellow paint matches the color of her eyebrows and renders them nearly invisible above her eyes. Without the paint on her eyebrows are visible and quite sharp, giving her face an aggressive quality that is hidden by the band of paint.

'''Body:''' The amount of clothing Hornet is wearing at a given time would lead to two very different impressions of her body. Fully clothed she would appear to have a very lovely figure and achieving an hourglass silhouette. Her skin is soft, apart from the palms of her hands, and she keeps herself meticulously clean and clear of hair on her legs and underarms. With large breasts, a tapered waist, and wide hips she typically dresses to accentuate her femininity and showcase these assets. However, if she is less than fully dressed a very different image is revealed in addition those assets. The rigorous care Hornet gives to maintaining her appearance is very evident in her body. Not as tall or quite as massive as many Roegadyn, Hornet has done everything she can to make up for her relative lack of size in working to build herself into a very impressive physical specimen. Muscular, but not quite bulky, Hornet’s shoulders, arms and back display years-worth of rigorous conditioning. Her abdomen is clearly toned but not quite defined into a six-pack. Powerful legs move her easily and are an indicator of the great endurance she possesses.

[[File:Hornet Personality.jpg]]
|}
'''Voice:''' Hornet’s voice was sculpted throughout her childhood to embody elegance and erudition. She was taught to speak in a low, pleasing tone that suggests that she is the master of whatever situation she finds herself in. She was taught that confidence should always be apparent when speaking, even if it is feigned. Since leaving home she has rebelled against this mode of speech and has worked to incorporate more of a casual style into her speaking. Her early training is so ingrained though that she finds herself slipping back into her formal manner of speaking very easily.

'''Demeanor:''' Hornet generally tries to project a carefree, easygoing demeanor. Depending on the situation though her demeanor can change radically. What tends to shine through no matter how she presents herself is a deep and abiding sense of personal pride.

'''Personality:''' Among friends Hornet is a smiling, laughing, inquisitive presence who prefers to ask questions of others rather than speak about herself. She can be playfully flirtatious or insulting but the latter she reserves for people she is sure would understand it’s a joke. In fact, the more she likes someone as a friend the more brutal her insults tend to be. When at work she is crisp, cool, and above all else professional. In a fight she can be at turns laughing and mocking her opponent or a grim-faced executioner depending on the situation and how threatened she feels.

'''Flaws:''' Hornet has a tendency to let first impressions cloud her judgment of a person even if new information comes to light that might improve her perception of them or show them to be untrustworthy. She is cocky, quick to anger, and has a tendency to latch on to the small details of a situation and miss the bigger picture.

'''Intelligence:''' Above average, but not tremendously so, Hornet's intellect has neither created or solved any of her biggest problems. She has a lack of book-smarts but her impressive street-smarts have served her well. She has no innate aetheric ability that might be supplemented by her intelligence.

'''Religious Views:''' Worship of the Twelve has never really been a priority for her. She understands that it is important to some people and certainly doesn't look down on people who are devout but it just has never factored into her life. She is sure the Twelve exist but is quite certain that there existence doesn't really mean anything to her day-to-day life.

'''Romance:''' She wants to be someone who is distrustful of love and a romantic skeptic but that would just be an act. In truth, she is a deeply romantic person and has an almost childlike fascination with love stories. She believes whole heartedly in the big, sweeping, dramatic sort of love that she has read about in books starring knights and fair maidens. These children’s stories are something she has clung to throughout her life as a kind of shield to prove to herself that there is something wonderful in the world. This isn’t to say that she falls in love easily (it’s only happened three times) but that she views love as perhaps the only thing in the world that can truly make a difference.

'''Sexuality:''' Love and sex are very different things to Hornet. What she does with her body has little to no bearing on where her heart lies. She is attracted to both sexes equally and most of the time has more than one partner in her life. Recently she has taken to being much more selective with her partners. Hornet is very careful to make sure that her partners are not in a committed relationship with another person or, if they are, that all parties are okay with Hornet's presence.

== <div style="padding:5px; border: 2px solid #395c80; background: #0f0e1c; border-radius:15px;"><span style="font-size: 28px; color: #c8c8c8; font-family: Old English Text MT; text-shadow: 3px 3px 3px #4494b9, 8px 8px 8px #81c8d1;">Combat</span></div> ==

Obsidian Hornet is a very competent fighter in a variety of forms. She is someone who enjoys non-lethal combat a great deal for the physical rush and as a way to satisfy her competitive nature. Fighting has been a part of her life since she was old enough to lift her fists. Even enjoying it as much as she does, she does not relish killing or take pleasure in causing pain. If she kills, it’s for a reason, and she doesn’t drag out the fight longer than she has to.

'''Style:''' This depends entirely on whether she has decided to kill. In what she considers a non-lethal fight she tends to move around quite a bit, using lighter prodding strikes to either wear down or mock her opponent. In non-lethal fights that she considers serious or important she prefers to use a single heavy blow to disable her opponent and encourage them to stop fighting. In a life or death situation she is utterly humorless. When she intends to kill there is no wasted movement and she will bide her time looking for an opening to deliver a single killing blow.

'''Strengths:''' Hornet is very skilled in the use of the two-handed axe and the lance. She prefers weapons with reach and weight, particularly in lethal combat scenarios. She is very aware of her own mortality and has no desire to rush in like a mad dog. She is competent with sword and shield but is still in the process of learning to properly handle them. She has some skill as a hand-to-hand fighter but doesn’t prescribe to any particular martial form preferring to use her strength to overwhelm opponents. She is incredibly flexible and agile with very sharp reflexes and has worked hard to improve her awareness on the battlefield.

'''Weaknesses:''' Hornet has no aetheric abilities and relies entirely on her body to see her through. She is confident to the point of cockiness and as a result can bite off more than she can chew when it comes to fighting. Her style of fighting relies on overwhelming single strikes so a particularly quick or sturdy opponent can tire her out.

Obsidian Hornet has a large family and is the youngest of seven children. She has not had any contact with her family in over ten years.

|}
'''Father:''' ''Mountain Shadow'' – A famous mercenary who started his family later in life. By the time Hornet was a teenager he was beginning to fall into dementia. He was largely absent from her life but the in the times they were together he was very kind and loving to her.

'''Mother:''' ''Frost Lotus'' – She was a very beautiful Roegadyn woman. She was half her husband’s age when they were married. She is a highly skilled Thaumaturge and Arcanist. She was very stern disciplinarian and fostered a very intense climate of competition amongst her children.

'''Siblings:'''

''Winter Shadow'' - Brother, sixteen years older than Hornet. Hornet doesn't know him very well.

''Steel Shadow'' – Brother, fourteen years older than Hornet. Hornet doesn't know him very well.

''Iron Shadow'' – Brother, ten years older than Hornet. Hornet knows him mostly as her mother’s primary helper and enforcer. Very talented aether user.

''Stone Shadow'' – Brother, seven years older than Hornet. He was kind of lost in the shuffle but wanted very badly to be appreciated by his family, his mother in particular.

''Silver Shadow'' – Sister, three years older than Hornet. Silver was Hornet’s rival from a very young age. Quite plainly, Hornet and her sister hate one another. Particularly since Hornet effectively destroyed her sisters marriage by seducing the groom soon after the wedding.

''Bronze Shadow'' – Brother, one year older than Hornet. He was a meek guy that Hornet bullied more than a little bit when she was growing up. Despite that, or because of it, he is the sibling that Hornet most likes.

<font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>[[Gharen Wolfsong]] – Hornet first met Gharen at a Grindstone training meet-up and was immediately smitten. After a few matches that were more flirting than fighting (for her at least) she admitted her affection for him. She feels a tremendous amount of sympathy for Gharen and what he's been through as it reminds her of her own upbringing. She truly believes that some day Gharen will be able to put his rage behind him and fully embrace the wonderful man that she knows he is. After her return she learned of what [[Delial Grimsong]] and [[Raelisanne Banurein]] did to him while he was imprisoned. She has agreed to not raise her axe against Delial unless Gharen asks her too. She has not yet met Banurein but is eagerly awaiting their first meeting and sharpening her axe as she waits.

<font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Fleeting Dawn]] – Hornet first met Fleeting during a game at the pub in Aleport. They began a physical relationship very quickly and not long after Hornet realized that she had deeper feelings for Fleeting. Their relationship was quite turbulent. They fought often, made-up often, and got Hornet permanently banned from the Mizzenmast in one such episode. Much of the friction in their relationship came from Fleeting's feelings for [[Dennthota Ahtahrmwyn]] and Hornet and Dennthota's conflicting personalities. This culminated in a series of confrontations that led to Hornet's decision to travel the world. Fleeting was understandably upset by Hornet's decision to leave. Since Hornet has returned, she has not seen or heard anything of Fleeting. Hornet's assumption is that Fleeting has made good on her threats to go off and be a hermit somewhere in the mountains. Hornet is unsure of what would happen or how she would feel if she were to ever see Fleeting Dawn again.

<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>[[Anais Fleurdevide]] – Anais is Hornet's closest friend and also a fairly frequent lover of Hornet's. They've known one another for years having worked on the same crew of brigands in the Black Shroud before the Calamity struck. They drifted apart when Anais left to captain her own sailing ship and run refugees out of Garlean held territory. They reunited when Anais asked Hornet to assist her in forming the Black Lotus Cartel, a Free Company under the auspices of the Maelstrom. Even though the Black Lotus Cartel dissolved after only a few months Hornet and Anais remain best friends. Hornet visits Anais whenever she can at Anais's shop in Costa del Sol.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>[[Rasamya Hakara]] – Rasamya was a student of Anais's that Hornet has agreed to keep an eye on as she gets started in the adventuring world. The girls enthusiasm and beauty have captivated Hornet and she has had conflicting feelings about her desire for a more intimate relationship.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>[[Roen Deneith]] – Roen has earned a very special place in Hornet's heart since Hornet found out that Roen was responsible in large part for Gharen's rescue and care after his ordeal. While Hornet feels that Roen may be too sweet for her own good Hornet has promised herself to do everything she can to help Roen with whatever she may need.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>[[Dhemgeim Shyrdoenwyn]] – Though Hornet often has difficulty understanding what Dhem is saying she has become rather fond of Dhem. Dhemgeim strikes Hornet as a woman after her own heart in many ways.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>[[Tausenadel Geispyrsyn]] – Tau is someone Hornet has been acquainted with for a long time but is just recently getting to know better. She likes him in a familial sort of way and thinks that he and Dhemgeim make a very good match.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>[[Dogberry Himalspyr]] – Hornet has only recently begun getting to know Dogberry but she is already impressed with what she has seen.

<font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>[[Sigyn Shieldbreaker]] – Hornet has wanted Sigyn since the moment she met her. Almost everything about the Highlander has caught Hornets attention. The tattoos, the piercings, the attitude. Hornet thinks it is a very sad thing indeed that Sigyn doesn't appear to be interested in her.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>[[Salty Lake]] – Hornet feels a great deal of pity for Salty Lake. Hornet thinks she is a very sweet woman, kind to a fault and far too trusting for her own good.

<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#0f0e1c;font-size:14px;color:#c8c8c8;"><center>Enemies</center></div></span></h3>

<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Dennthota Ahtahrmwyn]] – Dennthota and Hornet have quite a bit of history between them. Hornet and Denn got off on the wrong foot when Denn became incensed when Hornet refused a dare under the conditions of a game of Truth or Dare. Hornet refused the dare primarily because of how funny she thought Denn's anger was. Things have deteriorated from there. Dennthota's affiliations and actions, particularly those that put Fleeting Dawn into harms way, earned Hornet's ire and the two have had many confrontations. Hornet does not actively want to kill Dennthota, despite Denn's attempt on Hornet's life, and would prefer to simply never have to interact with Dennthota again.

<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Delial Grimsong]] – Hornet has only recently become aware of and met this woman. Her haughty demeanor in a situation where she, in Hornet's estimation, should have been begging for forgiveness created an instant dislike in Hornet. Life is a bit funny that way, if Delial had not been a party to the capture and torture of Gharen Wolfson, Hornet would probably have gotten along famously with Delial. As it stands though, Hornet has only refrained from attempting to kill her because Gharen has not deemed it necessary yet.

<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Raelisanne Banurein]] – Hornet does not know this woman personally. What she does know is that Banurein is responsible for Gharen's capture and torture. Currently she is the only person that Hornet actively wishes to murder.

===Personality===
[[File:Denn - U.png |left|500x400px| This is a sample]] Dennthota is a woman who lives up to her name with her boisterous personality and a booming laugh that shakes rooms. Her father was a sellsword and his father before that was as well and so she carries the legacy of their family with her, being a sellsword herself. She takes the title very seriously and will accept almost any job that will allow her to prove herself. Although her mother’s seafaring Sea Wolf blood runs through her veins and it causes the water to constantly call out to her. She dreams of owning her own ship and sailing the seas, but she has a few obstacles she must overcome first; mainly her fear of swimming and having water over her face.

Having been raised by her father and grandfather she does not have many “lady-like” qualities and is often seen at bars chugging beer, getting into fights, and participating in arm-wrestling competitions; finding herself more comfortable as one of the boys; this is not to say that she does not have womanly desires though. She often becomes jealous of overly feminine women as they tend to attract the attention of men a lot better than she can.

She is generally a carefree person and loves to joke around, often starting unnecessary trouble just to cure her boredom. Dennthota has a hard time turning down a free meal or a drink, often over indulging herself. She is very resilient and has a prideful nature that is both a handicap and a boon, but Dennthota is only an average fighter at best as she didn’t get the opportunity to learn all the families combat secrets, although she refuses to admit it, and usually relies on using her sheer size and intimidation factor to deter anyone from finding that out.

===History===
Her father was a Hellsguard and her mother was a Sea Wolf, but her mother died giving birth to her and so she was raised as an only child by her father, Ahtahrm, and her grandfather. He did the best any single father could do trying to raise a daughter, but his job as a sellsword often called him away for months on end. His pride to uphold the families honor kept him from quitting even though he wanted nothing more than to do that and spend time with his daughter. He often left her in the care of her grandfather who was an ex-mercenary while he was away. A mercenary does not normally live to see old age, but numerous injuries over the years eventually caused her grandfather to retire early which ended up working out for the best for her. Dennthota held no spite for her father's absence as she grasped the concept of honor and tradition quite early on.

Around the time that Dennthota was twelve, her grandfather eventually succumbed to old age while Ahtahrm was away. She waited two years for him to return, hunting local wildlife, and tending for herself. Eventually she realized that he was not coming back so she packed up a few of her belongings and headed out to carry on her families tradition. She stopped by the nearby town of Falcon’s Nest where her father normally found work, but was turned away because of her youth. They also had no information regarding her father’s whereabouts except the last mission he took to patrol the outlying area as the Ixali were starting to venture out of their normal territory. Being the hotheaded girl she was, she quickly headed out to seek vengeance against the Ixali. Having only mainly hunted wildlife this was a foolish decision on her part as she was quickly over taken by the first Ixali she came across. An Elezen man was nearby and though he was unable to defeat the Ixali he was about to wound it and drive it away, saving Dennthota’s life in the process. Full of pride and disappointment from her first lose in battle she blamed her defeat not on herself, but on her equipment. The man knew she lacked skill but played along anyway. He offered to take her to Ul’dah so that she could buy new equipment, a place she remembers her father mentioning where many mercenaries gather and find work. She reluctantly agreed to go with him.

She never completely warmed up to the stranger who saved her life and never even got his name, only referring to him as “pointy ears” and even though she never showed it, she was grateful for his help. The relationship did not last long between the two as they were ambushed by Antlings. Again she escaped, but her kind companion was not so lucky. Dehydrated, tired, and injured, she eventually stumbled her way to Ul’dah’s gate before finally collapsing right outside of it. That is where she met a young Hyur male named Haven who took her in and nursed her back to health. She had trouble finding work in the city as she was young, inexperienced, and had no reputation. She ran around with a street gang for awhile, but things changed when they broke into a house that happened to belong to the young man who helped her when she first "arrived" to Ul'dah. After being caught by him, instead of turning her in, he decided to instead offer her, her first legitimate job; as his bodyguard.

Haven was a strange man who never took life too seriously and as the two spent more time together his carefree personality eventually rubbed off on her. The two became more than employer and employee, they became friends, even though he still paid her for her services. He tried to help bring closure to her life by finding out what happened to her father, but their search ultimately proved fruitless. As the years went by she fell in love with him, but never revealed her feelings to him and he eventually had a child with another woman named Ophelia. She knew little about the woman as her jealousy caused her to keep her distance from Ophelia. When the Garlean Empire began to invade Eorzea the two joined the Eorzean Alliance. Haven sought to protect his family and country, but she only joined to protect him. The two found themselves in a small skirmish with the Garlean Empire and even though Dennthota was right by his side the entire time, she was powerless to save him as he fell in the battle. The last words he murmured to her were “protect my family”. She did not stay the rest of the battle and immediately retreated, no longer having a reason to be there.

Heartbroken and struck with anguish she returned to Ul’dah to find Haven’s son, Aldo, but Aldo and his mother were gone. She believes that news of Haven’s death had reached Ophelia before Dennthota had arrived and Ophelia had taken the child with her to parts unknown. After the events of Dalamud she seems to have forgotten her promise to the man she loved. She knows of his son and his wife, but thinking that they would blame her for his death she has not put much effort into locating them.

She has spent the last five years making ends meet by utilizing some of the tricks she learned a teenager in Ul'dah. Mainly cheating, and trying to con adventurers out of their money. Dennthota also tends to take debt collection jobs; which is ironic because she has racked up debt with a decent amount of people herself to support her gambling and drinking habit. Dennthota does not visit the cities that often as she does not want to be spotted by her debt collectors, and being a loud mouthed Roegadyn makes her easily noticeable in public places.

===Affiliations===
Dennthota has recently found herself following around a motley crew of adventurers who call themselves the Night Blades. She originally joined them to pay a debt back to one of it's members, but all their talk about obtaining power keeps her mouth watering.

===The Tavern of Rumors (Plot Timeline)===

Dennthota found herself tangled up with the Garlean forces, working with them for awhile. The reasons are still unknown but rumors say that it had something to do with a young lover or a promise...or maybe it was a sea monster. You know how rumors are. In any case, the woman seems to have gotten out of that mess, but not without being thrown in jail first. I don't think the Flames really take kindly to traitors no matter what the reason is. At least we thought she was in jail..someone said that they spotted her walking the road. Does she have a twin sister? No, can't be. The world would erupt into chaos if two Dennthota's were able to run rampant. That woman causes enough trouble to probably be labeled a livin' breathin' Umbral Era.

Ah, I remember now. It was the mountains. Yeah, she ran off to the northern mountains with some blue haired alchemist and a Roegadyn man. I wonder what they were doing up there the entire time. All I know is that since then, a small cabin has been seen in the middle of nowhere. Could be safe to say that she and her friends had something to do with it. The other two came back pretty quickly but she...she stayed there for months. It ain't good for your health to be a hermit, but they don't call her the Thunder Daughter for nothin'. That gal can take care of herself just fine. It'll be a warm day in Coerthas if something like a pack of wolves took down the self-proclaimed Peoples Champion of the Grindstone.

And what did I tell you? That darn woman was seen just the other night starting a fight in the bar. Seems like she is back to her old self again. Even got herself kicked out of the Grindstone for trying to break someones spine. I wonder if it was better if she just stayed up there, but things were too quiet without her so its good to have her back. Must have been the visit from that red-haired roegadyn woman who fancies her. Yes, I did say woman. Seems that Dennthota has been chasing and chased after by the same sex. But who can blame her? I mean everyone gets lonely and when you are as intimidating as that woman, its hard to attract male attention..the lack of showers and body hair probably don't help her in that department either.

Lately we have seen her walking around with a bag of gil on her belt. Now normally that would not raise any alarms, but this woman is known for having no money. Can't help but wonder where she is getting that all from; not to mention rumor has it that she has been hiring people, forming up a group of her own. She ain't one for Free Companies or even to be working with a team..I wonder what she is up to. Knowing her it can't be anything good. Perhaps someone should hire her to take care of this increase in bandit activity around Thanalan. Give her somethin' to do to keep her out of trouble.

'''Aliases''': N/A

'''Race''': Roegadyn

'''Gender''': Female

'''Profession''': Pugilist

'''Occupation''': Sellsword, Bodyguard

'''Orientation''': Heterosexual

'''Apparent Age''': 27

===Personality===
[[File:Denn - U.png |left|500x400px| This is a sample]] Dennthota is a woman who lives up to her name with her boisterous personality and a booming laugh that shakes rooms. Her father was a sellsword and his father before that was as well and so she carries the legacy of their family with her, being a sellsword herself. She takes the title very seriously and will accept almost any job that will allow her to prove herself. Although her mother’s seafaring Sea Wolf blood runs through her veins and it causes the water to constantly call out to her. She dreams of owning her own ship and sailing the seas, but she has a few obstacles she must overcome first; mainly her fear of swimming and having water over her face.

Having been raised by her father and grandfather she does not have many “lady-like” qualities and is often seen at bars chugging beer, getting into fights, and participating in arm-wrestling competitions; finding herself more comfortable as one of the boys; this is not to say that she does not have womanly desires though. She often becomes jealous of overly feminine women as they tend to attract the attention of men a lot better than she can.

She is generally a carefree person and loves to joke around, often starting unnecessary trouble just to cure her boredom. Dennthota has a hard time turning down a free meal or a drink, often over indulging herself. She is very resilient and has a prideful nature that is both a handicap and a boon, but Dennthota is only an average fighter at best as she didn’t get the opportunity to learn all the families combat secrets, although she refuses to admit it, and usually relies on using her sheer size and intimidation factor to deter anyone from finding that out.

===History===
Her father was a Hellsguard and her mother was a Sea Wolf, but her mother died giving birth to her and so she was raised as an only child by her father, Ahtahrm, and her grandfather. He did the best any single father could do trying to raise a daughter, but his job as a sellsword often called him away for months on end. His pride to uphold the families honor kept him from quitting even though he wanted nothing more than to do that and spend time with his daughter. He often left her in the care of her grandfather who was an ex-mercenary while he was away. A mercenary does not normally live to see old age, but numerous injuries over the years eventually caused her grandfather to retire early which ended up working out for the best for her. Dennthota held no spite for her father's absence as she grasped the concept of honor and tradition quite early on.

Around the time that Dennthota was twelve, her grandfather eventually succumbed to old age while Ahtahrm was away. She waited two years for him to return, hunting local wildlife, and tending for herself. Eventually she realized that he was not coming back so she packed up a few of her belongings and headed out to carry on her families tradition. She stopped by the nearby town of Falcon’s Nest where her father normally found work, but was turned away because of her youth. They also had no information regarding her father’s whereabouts except the last mission he took to patrol the outlying area as the Ixali were starting to venture out of their normal territory. Being the hotheaded girl she was, she quickly headed out to seek vengeance against the Ixali. Having only mainly hunted wildlife this was a foolish decision on her part as she was quickly over taken by the first Ixali she came across. An Elezen man was nearby and though he was unable to defeat the Ixali he was about to wound it and drive it away, saving Dennthota’s life in the process. Full of pride and disappointment from her first lose in battle she blamed her defeat not on herself, but on her equipment. The man knew she lacked skill but played along anyway. He offered to take her to Ul’dah so that she could buy new equipment, a place she remembers her father mentioning where many mercenaries gather and find work. She reluctantly agreed to go with him.

She never completely warmed up to the stranger who saved her life and never even got his name, only referring to him as “pointy ears” and even though she never showed it, she was grateful for his help. The relationship did not last long between the two as they were ambushed by Antlings. Again she escaped, but her kind companion was not so lucky. Dehydrated, tired, and injured, she eventually stumbled her way to Ul’dah’s gate before finally collapsing right outside of it.

'''Character Name''': Cyrinius Cicero

'''Aliases''': "Poisonhand" "Poet of Battle"

'''Race''': Miqo'te

'''Gender''': Male

'''Profession''': Pugilist

'''Occupation''': Tactician

'''Orientation''': Complicated

'''Apparent Age''': 28

===Personality===

Cicero is a flamboyant, eccentric, narcissist who loves visually appealing things. He often decorates his sentences with phrases such as “beauty” and “grace”, and relates many things to art, theater, and flowers. He sees every plan and battle as a chance to show off, what he calls his "brilliant and beautiful mind". When he is very excited he will often burst into dance, even while in the middle of a fight. In fact, he actually see’s every fight as simply a dance performed by two people, in which the winner is decided by the individual who is better able to showcase the beauty of their soul.

===History===

Cicero was born in Garlamald with a silver spoon in his mouth. His family has always been extremely loyal to the Empire and so they were rewarded for their loyalty. As a child, he was tasked with studying battle tactics and strategies, though he seemed to be more interested in theater, poetry, dance, and art. This lead to the occasional bout with his family, but eventually a settlement was arranged allowing him to pursue his true desire while still keeping his family happy by studying something more useful to aid the armies of the Empire.

At the age of twenty-six he was given the title “Tribunus angusticlavius” for his work with crushing numerous rebellions in Ala Mhigo. Since then, Cicero has been in command of a small unit tasked with keeping Ala Mhigo safe from rebel’s and others who would incite chaos or threaten the peaceful citizens of the Empire. His small band of thirty-seven soldiers was almost completely wiped out when he became too over confident of his abilities and allowed his men to walk right into a trap. Only a few survived the attack and he was stripped of his rank, leaving him to brace the shame of his deeds. After being shunned by his family for bringing disgrace to their name he has since left his homeland and has been seen in Eorzea.

===Other Notes===

He is trained with the sword, but prefers to use his hands. He believes that held fist weapons allow much more graceful and elegant movements. He often coats his claws and weapons in poison which has earned him the title of “Poisonhand” on the battle field. While not physically strong or in the possession of much endurance, Cicero is agile, flexible, and dexterous. He is more of a defensive than offensive fighter, wearing opponents down, frustrating them with taunts, and focusing on evading attacks until he can find an opening. He also likes to give names to his attacks as if they were steps to an elaborate dance; “Dance of the Deadly Butterfly” is his favorite routine.
