There we go. I might tweak things a bit here and there before the deadline but yeah, here she is!
"Harm me and I will return it twofold. Harm my wyvern and I will make sure you will regret it for the rest of your short and miserable life."
Name: Suviyana Balcht
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Class: Dracoknight
Origin: Glaise
Summary: A dracoknight whose purpose had been shattered by betrayal and now wanders to obtain new experiences and grow stronger.
Appearance: Suvi stands at a decent height of 5'8 and is often found in dracoknight armor. Her armor is as dark as her wyvern's scales, often mentioned that she seemed to blend in rather well with her mount. She often has a silver axe strapped on her as a form of protection. She wears an amulet around her neck with the symbol of her family on it. This once served as a symbol of pride and prestige but now is the brand of a traitor.
Personality: Suvi is Glaisian-born and, as such, mimics much of the typical personalities of her peopleβ her words are often blunt and lack restraint unless they are a person of authority. She does not fear speaking her mind and would challenge decisions made if she deems them to be unwise. While Suvi can be described as harsh most of the time, she is also incredibly honest. She would not hesitate to tear into someone for doing something stupid but, in the same vein, she would also not hesitate to praise someone for quick decision-making. Suvi does not hold grudges and understands that people can grow from their mistakes and, as such, would have no problem with admitting that someone she didn't like before had done something good.
A harsh critic is often the harshest to themselves and Suvi is exactly that. She tirelessly trains and challenges herself to make herself betterβ doing her best to live up to the expectations of her deceased family placed upon her. She is a hard workerβ determined in her own right to right the wrongs that her family was put through. However, Suvi's stubborness and hardheadedness when it comes to training can come back to bite her in the ass if there isn't anyone to keep tabs on her as she will work herself to the bone if no one is to stop her. While outwardly confident, Suvi has convinced herself to be inadequate compared to her motherβ let alone her ancestors.
If there is anything that Suvi is especially soft on, it would be her wyvern, Antonio. This often extends to most other animals but wyverns especially. She practically grew up with Antonio and practically considers him family. At this point, she is convinced he is the only family she has left. She takes meticulous care of her wyvern and is overprotective of him. She can forgive a slight against herself, but becomes vindictive when he's involved.
Backstory:
The Bacht family had always prided themselves as a family of dracoknightsβ ever brave, ever loyal. Many dracoknights in history had come from the family and they are renowned for both their skill as soldiers and their skill as wyvern riders. To ensure the quality of both a soldier and their mount, the Bacht family had taken it upon themselves to breed their own wyverns. Every Bacht child undergoes a rite of passage wherein, when they are of proper age, they are presented with a clutch of wyvernlings and they have to do their best to tame it or be chosen by one. Those who are unable to do so would be given other priorities; those who do, however, are subjected to intense training to become a dracoknight. It is these children's responsibility to take care of, bond, and train their wyverns, often under the tutelage of a mentor.
Suvi was one such child. The child of a prodigy, she had a lot to live up toβ and she was more than happy to take on those challenges. She looked up to her mother who became a renowned dracoknight who led her troop bravely against arctic beasts time and time again and came back in victory time and time again. She would slay bandits like they were nothing. This was the person Suvi was trying to become. When she had been chosen by her wyvern, she named him Antonio after her favorite character in a fantasy novel, and trained relentlessly. For most people, a description of a typical Bacht training would be horrifyingβ perhaps even abusive, but that much was necessary to ensure that they would survive being in the army. After all, the wilderness in Glaise is unforgiving.
It had been all too sudden. Suvi had just been returning from her routine flight when she returned to smoke and fire, to red on white, to faces twisted in horror, and the symbol of the khan flying on the flags planted around the Bacht ancestral home. She flew low to avoid detection as the slaughter continued. Horrified, Suvi was frozen in her seat and was snapped at by somethingβ Tavia, her mother's wyvern. Tavia was injured and close to death but it nuzzled against Antonio, her own child, and Antonio flew off with his rider. Suvi couldn't convince Antonio to let her land and find out what had happened or somehow help. They were spotted by the troop but they were too far and had a headstart for the dracoknights to catch up.
After escaping Glaise and knowing it would be too dangerous to ever return, Suvi had resigned to a life of traveling. She had taken on mercenary work to earn coin. It had been a year since then and Suvi relentlessly continued to train, wanting to be strong enough to survive whatever the world threw at her. Suvi still doesn't know why her family was slaughtered by the khan but she is determined to avenge them once she finds out the truth.

Quirk:Suvi has a thick Glaisian accent and speaks plainly. She walks with a limp on her right leg but she doesn't seem to be in pain despite this and has been seen to be perfectly capable of standing on it for elongated amounts of time; Suvi isn't sure where she picked up this habit. She leans more onto the side where Antonio is.
Other:
- Her wyvern's name is Antonio.
- Suvi primarily works as a mercenary and has been making quite a name for herself as an independent sellsword.
- She carries a sword but doesn't know how to wield it; it is from her mother that she had picked up from Tavia before they fled.
Color Code: "I dare you to strike me down."
I'll give this a deeper look in a bit, but for now you should try to keep the weaponry to C-class or lower since it's the start, so steel, bronze, etc. This goes for everyone else as well.
