by Name: Evelin Outerbridge
Gender: Female
Age: 28
Race: Human
Citizenship: Saoirsian
Occupation: Noble [s]and full-time schemefier[/s]
Appearance: Standing at 5'8'', Evelin is slightly tall than your average women, albeit not by much. She has a slender and fit figure, even if somewhat muscular, due to constant workouts and exertion but one would find it difficult to make such a detail out due to the dresses she usually wears - they leave much to the imagination. Her long legs make her seem taller than she usually is, and should that detail fail her intimidating presence makes up more than enough to elevate her in its place so to speak.
She has blonde hair, much like her late mother. It's usually left loose and slightly wavy, but in more formal occasions she makes sure to wear it in a neat bun. Her eyes are ruby colored and that most definitely aids in the intensity of her gaze when push comes to shove. Her demeanor seems to be perpetually calm and pleasant and it's not odd to find a smile gracing her lips - when they're not occupied with tea, that is.
She makes sure to always be presentable to the best of her abilities - having been blessed genetically isn't enough. Despite her looks alone having turned very many heads and won fans across the capital, she pays special attention to her clothing, making sure her dresses keep up with the local fashion even if she tends to take the more modest route in a given fad.
Given her upbringing her movements are graceful and well thought out, and she never seems to be in an awful rush to speak or act (unless the situation demands it). She makes sure to look friendly at all times as means of not burning any bridges unintentionally.
Personality: Outwardly, Evelin represents the epitome of serenity - she doesn't seem to be ever agitated of anything going on around her, keeping her head cool in the most stressful of situations. She believes pleasantries go a long way in terms of moving up the social ladder - the more people like you and the more they owe you, the faster they're willing to throw themselves in front of a bus without her lifting a finger.
She can easily be filed under the 'outgoing' label - she's a fan of broad daylight, visiting friends and key locations almost daily to keep up with her social life. Her demeanor has made her popular, and her occasional flirty and/or teasing quips don't help in quelling that sort of attention. She's also always willing to lend a hand to others.
Of course, all this image of apparent goody two shoes is but a facade - it couldn't be further from the truth.
Evelin is calculating, cold, and one could even say heartless. She has no qualms about crushing others to succeed - so long as she's not implicated in the matter, that is. She's used to fighting her carefully picked battles from the shadows, taking advantage of her followers as a means to any given end. These tend to be methodical and well planned out so not to jeopardize her status and everything she's built herself on thus far.
Whether she likes it or not, no one can deny her charisma and natural leadership skills; despite her tendency of using people, it can become a bit of a burden when people follow her blindly out of loyalty when she intended to get rid of them in the first place. Perhaps it is a good thing that she is mostly aimless in her life aside from obtaining power and pure survival - not many opportunities to damage everything in her path.
History: Evelin was born and raised in Allegresse, where she's lived all her life. She was the daughter of an influential nobleman and a woman hailing from Eisleyn; the latter died upon giving birth, ultimately dooming Evelin to be raised by someone who blamed her for his lover's death.
Her childhood was absent of care from the man. No matter how much she tried, she couldn't impress him or get his attention - positive attention, that is. Her father eventually developed an alcoholic problem and made a bad habit of beating her up regularly. Noticing this but being mostly helpless to do anything against it given the man's social status, the house staff decided to protect their little lady by teaching her as much self defense as she could. Luckily, among that staff, there were highly trained guards.
Aside from her lessons to become a proper lady and her hobby of reading and educating herself, Evelin quickly found her time occupied by these lessons. They were about close combat, weaponry in general, gymnastics and even horseback riding whenever her father was away on business. She quickly took a liking to it, having little else to spend her energy on, and proved to become a natural. Unfortunately she was so focused in learning and practicing that she never recognized that the staff cared for her genuinely: in her view, they were just doing their job.
Eventually this knowledge proved useful. In her late teens, her father got far too violent one night and she needed to defend herself. It proved to be lethal and the man perished before her. With quick thinking, she made it look like a robbery - she didn't move the body, but had a portion of the house's jewelry disappear overnight to indicate such a thing. The house staff helped, wanting to protect their lady. Soon enough all suspicion was cast away from her, and she walked away with murder.
Ironically she ended up inheriting one of her father's worst traits - his acquired taste for power. Having learned from the best, she quickly positioned herself to have more to gain than to lose with her newfound status. She finished her top of the line education and became a full on socialite, and married for political gain. Her husband is the only one aware of the identity behind the mask, and their marriage serves a little bit as quid pro quo - the husband serves to pull political strings, the wife serves to forge and manipulate connections.
As it stands, despite wanting power, she couldn't tell you what it's for. She's mostly aimless, needing a purpose. But for now, she just strives to climb the ladder in Saoirse, and is being very successful...
Weapon: While not walking around armed, her weapons of choice are a set of twin blades. However she doesn't need them anyway as her greatest weapon is a combination of her brain and limbs.
Skills:
Strengths/Weaknesses: On the one hand - she's an excellent physical combatant, having over 20 years worth of training in various things. She particularly excels in hand to hand combat. She is also very intelligent and has a talent for strategy which should not be overlooked.
On the other hand - magic is her Achilles heel. She doesn't have much of a defense against it, and even if she can keep up, she probably can't outlast it or gain the upper hand in any way. Also, given she relies mostly on speed and sneaking around, any good brute strength punch is good enough to wind her. Finally, her sadism in combat might slow her down.

Weapon: While not walking around armed, her weapons of choice are a set of twin blades. However she doesn't need them anyway as her greatest weapon is a combination of her brain and limbs.
Skills:
- Hand-to-hand Combat (Master) - The one thing she devotes most of her time to. She has created her own style over time. Despite this, she still prefers to finish people off quickly rather than have a lengthy fight.
- Swordfighting (Expert) - She's developed ambidexterity precisely for this. While skilled with a variety of weapons, her weapons of choice are any sort of blades she can use with one hand.
- Horseback Riding (Intermediate) - A bit of a daredevil rider, which is probably what keeps her from going further in the skill. While not having the opportunity to do it much she had the opportunity to practice it many times as she grew up whenever her father skipped town.
- Archery (Intermediate) - Too slow for her liking, but for all she knows it might save her when the time is right.
Strengths/Weaknesses: On the one hand - she's an excellent physical combatant, having over 20 years worth of training in various things. She particularly excels in hand to hand combat. She is also very intelligent and has a talent for strategy which should not be overlooked.
