The Forging:

Sylbryda was born onto a pirate ship and, for the first few years of her life, knew nothing else. However, the crew, her father included, went their separate ways when the Admiral began her crusade against piracy. With no friends, no family, no money and no home, Sylbryda had to fend for herself on the streets of Limsa Lominsa.

It was during this time that she was discovered by a travelling noble from Ishgard, who took pity on her and decided to bring her back to Foundation and have her work for him as a servant. Ever grateful for his generosity, Sylbryda set about serving him as best anyone could, even going so far as to learn to use the blade to protect her new master. In a few short years her strength and dedication had earned her the rank of knight and she served as her master's personal bodyguard.

The Tempering:

Unfortunately, this peaceful existence was not to last. In the aftermath of the Dragonson War, civil unrest was incredibly high and relationships between the noble houses and the commonfolks were deteriorating. Many citizens were furious that the Holy See had kept secrets from them and used them as pawns. Even nobles that had nothing to do with it, such as Sylbryda's master, were common targets for aggression. But with his loyal bodyguard by his side he had nothing to fear. Or so Sylbryda thought.

One night she was called to the door by a servant claiming that aggressors were trying to force their way in. No sooner was her back turned than a knife was driven into it, by the very servant who pleaded for her aid. She tried to fight back, but he was not alone and her efforts were wasted as she was cut down. From the floor, she could only watch in vain as her precious master was slain.

The Blooding:

She recovered from her physical injuries, but not the scar left in her heart. Her naivety had cost her the one most precious to her. She was weak and no longer deserved the life that had been gifted to her. As soon as she was able, she left Ishgard in a self-imposed exile.

After travelling for some time, selling her strength to survive, she saw the world for what it was and came to some conclusions about the road that she had travelled. She was a fool to believe in the stories of noble knights overcoming all odds because they are good and right. The real winners are those that take the initiative. The ones who will do what is necessary, not what is just. And so she decided that from then on she would discard the misplaced sense of honour that had brought her such pain and misery and look out for no one but herself.

She can currently be found at the Gold Saucer, drinking, gambling, making merry and always on the look out for her next mark. Will she escort the merchant to their next destination for the coin promised or will she take what she wants and leave them in the wilderness...?

Fighting style and weapon of choice: Though a master of the sword and shield, she greatly dislikkes using them as they remind her of her old life. Instead, she relies more on the brute strength of an axe.
