Character Biography:
Rachael was once an innocent child, living in a church with her elder brother and sister. It was the church their parents had built for this small town, putting soul and effort into it. Illness claimed them shortly after Rachael was born, however. She was raised by her older siblings, and learned some rudimentary fighting skills from tussling with them.
By the time she was thirteen, she had developed into a skilled young woman. The villagers had nicknamed her the "White-Handed Maiden"...for the gloves she always wore. You see, she was a healer...gifted with the ability to heal and repair the things she touched, at the expense of her own health. To keep her from dying young from touching everything, her sister made her gloves to create a barrier. It caught a bit of attention, but Rachael pretended to have an illness which caused her skin to be sensitive.
This, perhaps, is what saved her. When she was fourteen, dragons attacked the village on a hunt. Two villagers sent her to the basement of the church for safety, and it's there that she found the hidden door...one that her parents had built. Inside was a suit of armor and a sword, gleaming. As the building collapsed, she was shut inside the stone room with no way out.
She was dug out by scavengers two days later, carrying a bundle made from the bottom half of the hem of her dress, containing the armor. The sword, she had out, frightened of the men who were digging through the debris for valuables. She was saddened to find the village had been burned to the ground. Setting out on a journey, she headed to the city.
For five years, she did her best to make a living. When she was nineteen, she left the city wearing the armor her parents had secreted away...carrying the blade that was light in her hand. Looking for any sign that her siblings had survived the attack. She was not helpless anymore.
Abilities and Weapons:
Rachael's armor is made with ancient materials, passed down from generation to generation and protecting each in turn. It's a bit resistant to everything, but not unbreakable. Her blade is made of a lightweight steel alloy, allowing her to be quick in her strikes. And when she touches something with her bare hands, she begins to pour energy into it inadvertently, fixing. This drains at her life and health each time, causing her to get weaker and weaker without reprieve.
