Charity is (upon first glance) everything you would expect to see when picturing a Knight of Ishgard. To most -An authoritive demeanure envelopes her form, which is then decorated with a ribbon of confidence. To those who can say they have spent some time with her however, she seem's to carry a fiercely protective nature, which is strengthened by the pride she carries. Yet to those who consider her a friend, this oddly looking Dame would show herself to be a loyal and stalwart companion. No matter who or what they may be. When her trust is earned by those daring enough to see past her boastful and opinionated mentality, Charity proves to be someone you can rely on to have your back in and out of a fight. Beneath this confident and collected temperment lies a growing darkness that she herself is struggling to keep under control. Due to a deeply imbeddied wound from years long past, she is prone to self-inflicted brooding and a general disdain towards anything she considers a nuisance. Akin to her husband from nearly two decades past, she can be somewhat crass in her humour and this will repel the pompous and sensitive far in the opposing direction. 400px (Any caption text) Key: ♥-Romantic Interest ♦-Family ♣-Friend •-Neutral ♠-Enemy ▲-Disliked §-NPC ‽-Deceased Vincent Breckenridge: Charity met Vincent when they were both just children, not even having reached their teens yet. She was training as a squire under a Knight of the house when she first encountered the scrawny rascal. He was an urchin thief who lived in complete poverty deep within the bowels of the Brume. Despite their different upbringings, the two of them grew to become close friends at an alarming rate, until they were practically inseperable. Vincent would often get into fights where he stood no match and his stubborness would not allow him to back down, but Charity was always there to stand in and give his attackers a royal tactical beating. Eventually Vincent wished to match and potentially excel his best friend in combat, and that gave him the motivation to begin his soldier training within the household. The two them ended up becoming childhood sweethearts, and they married each other the moment they were of age. When apart, the two of them have their own distinguished personalities, yet put them together and you will think you walked into a mental aslyum. They are a boastful pair when together, and their bantering with one another is so severe it often aggrivates those surrounding them. They will rip apart whoever they please both verbally and physically, especially when the ale get's rolling. While Charity appears to be the leash around Vincent's neck, the two of them get along like a house on fire. When Vincent's mocking temper begins to land insults and jests on others, she will quickly throw a banterous insult towards him. In order to disarm his attitude and bring it upon her instead. - Since she can handle his gimmicks. The two of them bounce off each other's energies and have a relationship as strong as the thickest dragonscale. Both of them would willingly give their life to save the other. Oni De'Phor and Raiden: Oddly enough, Charity met Oni and Raiden when they accidently walked into a trap she had laid for a group of Ishgardian Knights of a corrupt household. She did not wish to fight Oni at the time, but when he took the side of her enemies and rose his spear to her, she had no choise but to fight him as well. The battle was tiring and the pair were literally crushing each other's bones, until Charity took the bold move to order a truce - before they killed each other. A few words were exchanged as Oni expressed his sheer dislike for her choice of lifestyle, trying to convince her that killing innocents to punish those she considered to be wicked, was not the way to go. She left Oni with a parting gift, assuring him she did not wish to be enemies. It was not until a few weeks later, that their eyes met once more outside the Forgotten Knight in Ishgard. Charity introduced Oni to her husband Vincent, and the three of them casually conversed at the bar. In an attempt to build a bridge between herself and Oni, she offered to help him with his hunt for food, and brought her husband along. They spilled blood together, and Charity hopes this has helped forge the way to build a friendship with someone who she- Considers to be more akin to her than he or she realise. While Oni himself seem's to let her humour fly over her head, his companion Raiden throws it back at her, which she and her husband enjoy the most. 400px Easily Heard ("Did you hear about that lass with the dragon tattoo?

Her family were minor Elezen nobles who swore their loyalty to House Fortempts. Nearly a thousand years later however, all the Elezen genetics have all but been bred out of her family gene pool until nothing but Hyuran remains. A common genetic trait in her family is a pair of mis-matching eyes, which has been put down as a simple genetic mutation. Yet the answer to why her line carries a pair of different coloured eyes goes back to her ancient genetics and the mix of the Hyuran and Elezen blood. She was born as a second child and upon reaching the age of seven, was taken on as a squire to a Household who were one of the many vassal's to House Fortempts. There, she trained to eventually become a Knight, who would be charged with personally protecting the lady of the household, who at the time was the same age as she. It was two years after beginning her squire training, that she encountered a scawny street urchin who tried to steal her Knight's coin pouch in the brume. She chased the boy down and corners him in an alleyway, where he tried to charm himself out of the situation. Taking pity on the lawless urchin she decided she would try to convince him to turn his life around. After speaking with one of her family members, it was agreed they would vouch for the boy to start his training to become a soldier of the very same household he tried to steal from. Years passed, and the pair of them grew to become inseperable. Vincent would pick fights where he was severely outmatched, and Charity would come rushing to his rescue, tactfully taking down his opponents with him to even the odds. By the time they were sixteen, the two of them wed - even if it was against her family wishes. They were young and in love. Unfortunately however, their early marriage led to an early pregnancy and Charity soon gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. They called her Kathryn, and her eyes were identical to her mothers. Her hair was as black as the midnight sky and she was destined by the household seer, to become a fair and enchanting young woman. Jealousy however, will always dwell in the hearts of other women. The young lady of the household - who Charity was sworn to protect grew envious and concerned that this child would grow to become more beautiful than she. In a dark and sinister move; when the child was only seven, she had Kathryn taken in the dead of night. The Breckenridges searched day and night for their daughter, refusing to rest and bordered on collapsing from exhaustion. After three days, they began noticing the strange behaviour of their lady, and found a door that been accidently left partially open. It led down a tower and into a dark room, where their lives would forever be turned upside down. They descended down stone stairs to find a ritual chamber, stained with blood and symbols of sacriligious sorcery. Cages lined the walls, with cowering and shivering women and girls alike, all rather fair in appearance. The pair were horrified to find their daughter lying bloodied on the altar, lifeless with her long raven hair resting over her face like a veil. Distraut at the loss of her one and only child, Charity screamed in frustration and lost herself, completely butchering anyone near the chamber she could see. In this loss of sense and mentality, something struck her on the forehead and she fell upon the ground. Having noticed his fallen wife, Vincent rushed to Charity's side only to feel that same burning sensation upon his head too. The pair fell to the floor, and before their eyes closed to meet the darkness, they saw the rough outline of their lady. The two of them awoke a few days later in their own chambers, with no memory of the events that transpired. Both of their faces were branded with strange tattoo's, which they believed was something they had done drunk one night. Unknowing to them however, is that their lady had cursed them both, locking their memories of that night away. The years rolled onwards and eventually, Charity was awarded as the commanding officer of the household Knights, and given a Knighthood herself. She served faithfully for many more years to come, until the lady of the house - who the pair believed to be fair and just, was accused of heretical witchcraft, and thrown off Witchdrop. Charity and Vincent, not realising just how correct the Inquisition was in their assumption were forced to flee the house as the rest of the inhabitants were executed or questioned for their lady's heresy. They then spent the last few years hunting down anyone who took up arms against the pure, high and lowborn alike. Inquisitor, Knight, Commoner or noble, none of them were immune to the wrath of the blade's the two carried. A pair of blades rumoured, to be forged from darkness. Any who weild them, are said to be driven deeper into the depths of the shadow, constantly hearing the voices of their darker nature. Will the Knights catch upto them and strip their titles? Only time will tell what the pair plan to do next. 400px You may have heard of her/know her if you: Connection Are connected to House Fortempts in any way. Frequant the Forgotten Knight.
