General

Walking a rocky and stained path which is hidden quickly by the snow, Ashriah Crowthorne [pronounced AH-sh-ree-AH], called Lady Crowthorne or simply 'Crow' is a Knight of the proud Holy See of Ishgard. Yet even with her proud position within their ranks, she finds herself still treading a dark and difficult path that comes with her luxuries and honor. And with the gates of Ishgard now open to the rest of Eorzea, she finds that she must tread her path with even more caution and to keep herself on high alert, unsure of the unknown that awaits her or her personal goals.

She travels with a fellow Holy See member, Ser Ghislain Dozier, yet she does not know his last name and simply calls him 'Ser Ghislain', and while at first, she can come off as cold and harsh to others, perhaps this can be changed with the opening by meeting new people and cultures. It will be a bit of a challenge for both others and herself yet nothing is impossible.

Appearance

"Her gaze is as piercing as her blade itself. Enough to strike fear even in the strongest of Dragons." — Footman Patron to Forgotten Knight Barkeep

The Silver Dragoon

While one may not be able to tell beneath her armor, Crow holds the physic that to be more like a Highlander than a Ishgaridan Midlander and is standing around the height of 5'7-5'8 with the weight being nearly 134 pounds. She is a towering woman to some of the other Ishgardian Knights and Footmen. However, despite being so tall and physically fit, there are still some of the most obvious tells that give her away, considered to be a relatively attractive being. A ample bosom, which she tends to complain about seeing it unfit for a being of her preferred profession, graceful features such as a sharpness around her eyes, long eyelashes, full lips and an hour glass figure. While most would not see this as quite an issue, she sees it as an annoyance due to being commented on how she'd either be a scary woman in a dress from being too physical fit to being a 'posh' girl dressed in armor. Slender yet rather muscular but all together, there is no denying she gives off a clear air of regality and command.

Her long platinum blond hair is well maintained resembling long golden field of silk, while a bit tussled from within the wind and causes it to conceal the right side of her face. On occasion, she will pull her hair back into a long pony tail but only when it comes to wearing head gear. While her visor is always resting on her features, some stated that she has either violet eyes or piercing blue ones. Yet even with her visor, the crimson glow the lights give off is enough to strike fear. Sometimes, she will lower her visor to look to a footmen. Yet they are too shaken to recite the eye color.

Within the Snow

Her choice of clothing is usually that of custom made armor and leather due to her unique form. Chain mail resides within most of her clothing, especially ones with cloth on the outside. The colors usually remain within the dark colors or light; Black or White.

Her 'casual' wears is one of a fur lined coat and boots. She has yet to be seen in anything different.

Personality

"To speak of my path is to speak of forgotten history. All I have to do now is look forward." — Crow to Fellow Knight

Voice: Crow's voice is that of a deep and commanding one yet there are moments where even the darkest of times can she hold a rather soft whisper. She can speak loud enough to armies of men and enough to fill a hallway. On the very rare occasion, she can be found singing to herself while on patrol.

Demeanor: To most around her, she is a severe woman with a fearsome and commanding presence. Harsh with her subordinates and peers and coldly merciless to her enemies, she is seen as an Ice Queen. There are, at times, where she can be a kindhearted and give advice yet the rest of the time, with her icy demeanor she also holds a fiery temper. She can coolly judge the best course of action and plans, heavily believing within the 'Survival of the Fittest' type of philosophy. Sharp tongue, stubborn, full of fight and sarcastic are but a few words to describe her.

Favors ■ Earl Gray Tea. A calming drink she favors especially after a long day of patrol or battle. ■ Weapons. A woman with an eye for detail, she enjoys different types of weapon but favors the greatsword and spear. ■ Combat. It is easy to see the woman enjoys combat. Both watching and taking part. ■ Secret Favoring: Roses. For reasons unknown the woman adores roses. Especially ones of white and 'black'.

Loathes ■ Prejudice. Judging someone by their appearance is enough to end up on her blacklist. ■ Failure. A known action she hates. She understands failure is not always a bad thing but still despises it. ■ Disrespect. She is not fond of those who show disrespect. ■ Not Giving Your All. When in battle, she believes that you should give your all else you disgrace the battlefield.

Hobbies ■ Reading. Who doesn't enjoy to read every now and then?. ■ Training. Someone of her stature is known to train. And enjoys it highly.
