Character

Brief History

Ehrinn is a survivor through and through. Left to fend for herself in the Shroud from a young age, much of her life has been one brutal hard learned lesson after another. At the age of twelve she had become quite the hunter, quick of foot and wild wise. She started following a sell-sword free company, the Indomitables performing odd jobs here and there. It was there she learned how to fight to apply in skills into the realm of war. Several cycles later she had a falling out with the company. Taking her leave of them she traveled to Vylbrand. There she happened to meet members of the 81st including their captain Rhesh’ir. Impressing the fledgling company’s leadership she joined up. In them she has found more of a family and home then she’s ever known. She’s fought with them against primal and pirate, beastman and brigand. She continues to do so, serving as best she can.

Appearance

Ehrinn's appearance is manufactured to make her seem unobtrusive. Crafted as a necessary survival instinct among a group of people the eyes just pass over her. Her height: rather typical; her clothing: unassuming. She's typically found wearing earthen toned leathers and heavy cloth, perfect for work outdoors, and not at all uncommon. As first glance, she is all together, unremarkable.A closer look reveals more details that stand out in one's mind. Her hair is a deep brown, soft and long, normally kept pulled into a ponytail that falls to the middle of her shoulders. Her skin is an olive tone, a call to her roots in Thanalan and her time spent in the sun. Most striking of all are her brown doe like eyes. Despite the fierce woman attached to them, they normally possess a calming and gentle gaze. Her voice is the match of her eyes, normally calm often quiet.Constant training, and a rapid metabolism leave her form fit and trim, athletic would be the word. Her shoulders are a little broader, bulked out by muscles which see constant use. Most would find her easy on the eyes, but certainly nothing immediately noteworthy. Perhaps if she put more effort into it, which she has little occasion to do.

Personality

Most of the time Ehrinn is quiet, and ruthlessly pragmatic. When she speaks her words are clearly measured. Large groups make her rather nervous, and for the most part she is already borderline paranoid. She seems a drawn bow, ready to fire at a moment’s notice. Her mind is sharp, if rather uneducated. When with just a few, and those that she trusts Ehrinn opens up quite a bit. When she does she has shown to be kind, warm and thoughtful, as well as very protective of those few in whom she confides.

Combat

Ehrinn was initially trained as a hunter, and later as a sell sword. She is very capable in both realms. She is able to stalk and follow game or people through various terrains with a practiced eye. In actual melee she is the embodiment of elegant, brutal, efficiency. Her movements are sudden and fluid, often aimed to do maximum damage with minimal risk. There is no such thing as a fair-fight, and Ehrinn will capitalize on every advantage she can glean. OF late she has taken quite quickly to using a pair of long single edged knives. These seem to suit her quick and precise nature, her strikes a model of elegant if brutal efficentcy.

Relationships

♥ Romantic Interest ♥ Sexual Desire ♥ Platonic Love ● Good Standing ● Neutral Standing ● Poor Standing

Friends & Acquaintances ● ♥ Rhesh'ir Zhwan –The leader of the 81st. Ehrinn doesn’t know him all that well, but she likes what she’s seen so far. He’s a capable tactician and a good leader, even if she does feel he needs support now and again. She’s fairly certain the two of them have a great deal in common, if they could ever get the time to discuss such things, most likely over a drink. ● ♥ Y'lyfriel Sikah – To Ehrinn Lyf is, in many ways, the heart of the company. The more she knows about this woman, the more Ehrinn respects her. She worries over her. Ehrinn knows that her life has made her…not the best of people. She relies on Lyfriel, and Rhesh’ir to a lesser extent to help her preserve what pieces of her humanity still remain. She’d do anything to defend either of them. ● Rah'na Lihzeh – Ehrinn does not know who this young healer as well as she would like. And the key descriptor there to her, is young. She admires his determination, and he has been getting better but she is afraid his youth and nerves will cost the company greatly at some point. ● ♥ Onuma Ahntifi–Onuma has taken Ehrinn’s mediocre skills at smithing and turned them into something useful. For that’ she’s eternally in the woman’s debt. Ehrinn thinks well of her otherwise, and finds her down to Hydalyn and very genuine. Ehrinn thinks her far too hard on herself and laments the difficulties she has faced, especially of late. If she could, she would know her better. ● Kodaro Ba'rococo:- Ehrinn approves of him. Ever since she first crossed blades against him in a sparring match she’s liked the man. He has a heartfelt and honest demeanor she finds appealing. It doesn’t hurt that he’s pretty good in a fight.  ● Dawson Colwell:- Ehrinn knows little of the man, but what she has seen has met with approval. The man is a skilled healer and a competent leader.  ● Ralamano Nulumano:-Ehrinn finds the lalafell to be incredibly smart and highly skilled. Both of these are traits she admires. She recognizes his sharp mind and the great asset he represents to the company. She’s learned a little more of his personal life and has seen him when most would probably rather he hadn’t. For all that she respects him more.  ● ♥ Solelle Frilaix – Initially Ehrinn found the quiet Ishgardian something of a kindred spirit. Capable and ultimately good natured, if a bit rough around the edge, Solelle was the type of person Ehrinn grew up around, and most enjoyed the company of. It was only a small surprise to her to find how mutual the attraction was. Now, she can’t imagine her life without the other woman. She has brought a peace to Ehrinn that she thought she would never find. ● Leo Arkwright – Although she’s been busy of late Ehrinn did enjoy the time she spent with Leo, getting to know him a little when he first joined the company. She finds his sense of humor tiring on occasion, and his self-deprecation rather grating. She’s concerned his strong moral code has little place on the field, and it may result in someone she cares about being hurt. Still the man is loyal and skilled in battle, for Ehrinn, that’s enough. ● Fyrilsunn Fiandoensyn – Ehrinn hardly knows the towering Rogadyn, but she’s been impressed. To the point, effective, and willing to stand by others, all traits she admires. At some point she’d love to buy him a round or three and talk. ● Noor Falmah:-Ehrinn thinks fairly well of the young Moon Keeper. She’s an exceptionally sharp mind and her medical skills are always top notch. Ehrinn is concerned that she doesn’t think things through…and she talks a little too much, but nobody is perfect. They recently spent a stretch of time together in the Shroud and Ehrinn appreciates her knowledge of the natural world, even if it was acquired under very different circumstances from her own.

Enemies/Rivals/Others ● The Indomitables (NPCs) –Ehrinn didn’t part from her old free company on the best of terms. While she might still have some friends among the company, unless drastic changes have occurred she and the leadership would probably come to blows. As far as she knows, they’ve no idea where to find her… ● The Watchers (NPCs) –A shadowy Ul’dah based intelligence organization that has ties to Ehrinn’s late father. She doesn’t trust them all that far, and thinks ultimately they just plan to use her. However, she’s more than happy to use them for whatever useful training they can provide her until then.
