She fully intends to uphold her families wishes on her own. Religon: Sylir: After joining the knighthood, Crystal was informed of the Slain God. She studied him, but more for knowledge purposes. She has gained interest in him, but not enough to say she truly worships him. Eyris: Crystal's favorite Goddess, Eyrs is the embodiment of Crystals' want. She wishes to connect herself with the Goddess, as she strives to gain any and all information she can possibly learn. Personality: Very intelligent she is, but physical strength she has not. Often people comment that she is a good fighter, but that is simply the result of using her advantages to win. She rather outwit people in an argument, but that doesn't stop her from having physical altercation at all. She values beneficial friendships, or rather friendships were she can learn from the other. While she graciously accepts everyone, most of her friends have taught her something she never wishes to forget. With that said and done she can be very stiff when it comes to conversations. She will feel insecure when speaking because isn't used to casual conversations. Though sociable and socially awkward don't mix, she manages to pull it off quite well. Formally she's a socially butterfly, but when it comes to casual conversation she finds herself at a loss for words. --Update-- Crystal has since become more in tune to her conversational side. She is open and easy to talk to, but is still a bit timid when first speaking to others. Appearance: Model: Garcelle Beauvais Being a hunter has its advantages, having slightly muscled build is one. She has butterscotch brown skin that is smooth unlike her hands which are somewhat rough with calluses where she holds her weapons. Her face is rounded with a small nose, and her cheeks are highlighted with small dimples. Her eye lashes are long and thick with a narrow brow. She has piercing blue eyes that often draw most of the attention she gets. Short raven black hair extends just a bit past her shoulders. Crystal can be seen wearing a a black leather vest with a white blouse underneath. She wears leather black leather pants and boots. Her hair is usually down, but occasionally she'll wear a ponytail in back to keep it in control. History: Pre Creation: Crystal was born into a small family in Syliras. Even with that said, as a child she always had a friend with her. She was a very sociable girl. She did however, have a keen interest in nature and hunting. Her dad was a hunter and in her mind the best. At the age when she could voice her opinions and have them heard, she sat down with her father and asked him to teach her. Of course, the man had no objections. Though her mother was worried about it. Eventually Crystal went on expeditions with her father, but soon came the time when happiness was lost. A monster hunt was going on in the woods next to the city, where her father left and never returned. She and her mother were taking it rather roughly, especially as her father was the main source of income. They were in a financial slump, where her mother could not find a job because she was no longer happy anywhere. And even if she was good at it, who would let a thirteen year old work as a hunter? So her mother passed away, stricken with grief and sorrow. For once the sociable child turned to no one, and as a result lead to her own depression. However, she soon decided that it would not do her father justice to sit around, so for his sake and her mother's she continued to practice at home. But at eighteen she was forced to sell her home to pay off the dept she owed to all. Now homeless, but old enough to work she immediately applied as a hunter. A full for seasons rotation and she was back on her feet, supporting herself while making her parents proud. Post Creation: In recent years Crystal began to doubt herself and her purpose for hunting. She felt lonely and hollow, but after a chance meeting in the woods she began to question herself about why she did what she did. After realizing that she hunted purely for the sake of her parents, she decided it wasn't what she wanted, nor what her parents wanted. After another meeting, Ferrin convinced Crystal to join the Order, put her skills to use. After a very emotional conversation, the next day she sought out the recruitment office and signed on for squire-hood. After meeting her patron she realized she wasn't as knowledgeable as she claimed, and now seems to rectify the blunder.
