Character Biography:
Laurani was once a part of a family torn apart by war. Her parents built a church in a small town, and died in an attack, leaving her with her older brother and baby sister. Her life was a lonely one, even so. Her brother was always distant, and her sister...well, had her own problems. Laurani did her best to keep them together, and make a small living with making cloth.
By the time she was nineteen, she had started to become very skilled at her craft. She always made the most beautiful things...and had the keenest eye for detail. One day, while she was out hunting for a specific plant for her dye, she saw the smoke from the village. She rushed back, skirts in hand so she didn't trip at the full run. By the time she got there, it was over. No signs of anyone...she watched as the dragons flew away, and she screamed in anger. They had taken her brother, and her sister...she had nothing left.
Eventually, after wandering for weeks, she came to the ocean. She snuck aboard a ship, leaving the land that held too many memories. And she snuck into the town on the other side, into a blacksmith's shop. The man who came to open up in the morning was a bit surprised to find a door ripped from its hinges like it was, but went in to find Laurani there, trying to pound a lump of metal into a blade. She was failing miserably, and her hands were burned.
For five years, she stayed with the man. He taught her the art of smithing, and she in turn helped in the shop for her room and board. She trained herself every day in swordplay, and at fighting in armor. Because the next time a dragon showed up...she would be ready for it.
The smith presented her with a parting gift when she headed out. A cape, magically warded to protect her in battle. She thanked him again and again, leaving. Wearing her life's work, designed to protect her in the harshest of battles, while still having an allure and freedom for movement. Wielding her soul's fury, twin hand-and-a-half blades made from the best metals she could find. For she would get her revenge upon the demons who took her life away. To be a Dragonslayer - that was her purpose, now. And her secret would die with her in battle.
Abilities and Weapons:
Laurani has an unusual strength for someone of her size and stature, allowing her to do many feats that would astound normal men. Kicking someone across a room and through a wall, carrying four people on her back at a run...these are common feats for Laurani.
Her armor is built to deflect blows well, and protect from most of the elements. Her cape is enchanted, allowing her to deflect some magic from behind. Finally, her swords...razor-sharp, and crafted to only get sharper as they're used. Forged partially with the remnants of a star, they can cleave through metaphysical things such as fireballs or bat away magical projectiles, should she need it. She is prepared to kill dragons, and that's what she will do.
