− | : <div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; font-family:Georgia;">Saran is definitely more of a fighter than a lover but the Xaela is hesitant to be either. While Saran is not noble enough to admit that fighting is a last resort, her words are her most preferred weapon. Should she sense those are failing, however, or if verbal resolution is assumed impossible at the beginning, Saran's tactics revolve around strategically incapacitating her enemy. Given her physical prowess, however, and the preternatural strength of the Xaela, her "strategy" tends to involve overwhelming brute force. She is a very talented martial artist with an innate talent for brutality, having grown up in the turbulent throes of the Steppe. Violence is simply a part of Xaela life. And though her tribe was never actively hostile or involved directly in conflict, being famous for their neutrality, Saran was at the very least desensitized to many horrors from a young age. <br><br>But her parents took this one step further. From the time she was four, her father began training her in self-defense once the markets were closed up for the night. Batsaikhan was a gentle man by all accounts, yet the one thing he would not allow was for his children to be unprepared for the cruelty of life on the Steppe. From him, she learned her striking poses and how to read the silent clues that each opponent gives to his next movement and how to counter a grapple into an advantage. From her mother, she learned how to maneuver to weaken and topple a larger enemy. Later, Saran would find a sparring partner in a rambunctious Dotharl boy who would teach her to never hesitate when going for the kill. <br><br>One would assume magic to be Saran's greatest weakness. On paper, this is entirely accurate -- however, Saran knows to be wary of magic-users and her own strengths mirror their weaknesses. She knows that the most effective way to take out a mage is to get in close and allow brute force to win the day. With a suspect mage, "hit first, ask questions later" has been an effective policy. Saran's true weakness is the surprise attack, the one that even her brilliant and calculating mind can't see coming. Just don't give her a chance to recover. </div></div> | + | : <div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; font-family:Georgia;"><i><b>Bolded</b> weapons are those she's likely to use.
