Kern gives Buddara a puzzled look before shrugging and turning towards Brok, "I'd prefer you here and in the thick of it, Brok. We can chase if they run, but I think it more efficient to make sure they can't run in the first place." Buddara looks at Kern, then looks at the ground and shakes her head. "Oh child, only proof that intelligence is no replacement for wisdom. Who is to say that they notice the fortifications and suspect."
Lover - Bindra Ban Csun: A rival turned lover this ruffian satiated her flame then broke her heart.
Bindra is another boy from the male half of the monastery, across the river. While growing up Bindra and Budarra were rivals. Bindra insisted that he was better than Budarra simply on account of the fact that he was male. They competed often, but never fought for fear of being reprimanded. Budarra won most of these competitions. But when they reached the age of 15 they got into an actual fight. Budarra being the victor was thrilled, and Bindra being defeated finally saw Budarra's strength. Bindra was at once awestruck, desirous, covetous, and jealous of Budarra. Being of the age they were expressed the with these by courting her in secret. Budarra having little to no attention from other males given her circumstances fell for Bindra's advances and they began together a secret tryst. This tryst culminated with Bindra taking Budarra's virginity in secret, however soon after his attentions began to waver. Him being a boy of an age he found other prey and was eventually kicked out of the monastery for his promiscuity. Budarra soon after realizing his philandering was heart broken, swearing an oath of celibacy. Mentor - Diana Lotus Flower: Helped forge Budarra into the self directed individual she is.
Friend - Dar: Budarra's first true friend, he taught empathy and how to interact with animals.
Budarra met Dar when the Abbet visiting from the temples all male counter part from across the river brought him on his annual inspection tour. He was a clever boy kind and gentle, but not a very good fighter. But what Dar did have was vast wisdom and charisma. But this was not his most interesting feature, which was his way with animals. Any animal he met he befriended, and studied. In this way he added to the Monks greater knowledge of fighting. It was this talent that drew Budarra to Dar. Being a serious and focused monk in training Budarra had never had time to observe animals never mind play with them. Dar taught her patience and empathy, she helped Dar learn the forms. After the Abbey left Budarra and Dar became the best of friends. Finding any chance they could to meet up and practice their skills. Loss: The loss of her parents is what shaped her the most. NO only did it help drive her but it is what brought her to the temple and her her lives work.
Triumph: The defeat of her long time rival Bindra Ban Csun. Then the seeming conquest of his heart that followed.
The conquest of Bindra was one of the greatest moment in Budarra's life, complete with physical, social, and sexual gratification. Despite how it later turned out the very moment it happened to her she for an instant felt complete. This moment solidified any doubt that she was meant to follow the path of Irori. Frustration: The frustration with her own inadequacy in what seems to her like the last bastion of undiscovered self understanding. Along with lack of introspection and desire to self improve.
For several years Budarra tried to bring the light of Irori to all. To help other improve themselves and reach their true potential. To strive toward self perfection. During this time she wad met with every miss understanding from pity to out right disdain. She was frustrate with how to show others the truth, to hold up the mirror to them and say this is who you are and this is who you can be and only you can achieve it. As a result of failures Budarra became increasingly determined to weed out her own flaws and equally less confident she could even find them. Idealism Adult Human Monk Sleek like a cat Buddara's cuts and curves seem to project a strength and fluidity possessed by a round stone in a flowing river. While her monks clothing reveals very little of what lies beneath her movements in them say it all, they say dedicated, deadly, efficient. She wears her long hair in tight corn rows upon her head, rarely ever letting them out. JinJianta Orphan/Monk

Often the first to action she does not lack in initiative nor is she the type to act too impulsively. Character Backstory: When Buddara was 5 years old her parents murdered by demons. Being faith worshipers Irori she was sent to be raised at an all female Temple. The she was taught to train her body and mind to self perfection. She was able to take this much of this training and excelled beyond all of her counter parts except in one area. She deeply internalized the idea of perfection and was relentless in her pursuits. However she was never quite able to stretch the concept to its fullest. By this it is meant that she never able to let go. Never able to quell the driving fury within herself, this led her away from a more than basic understanding of the spiritual aspects. She instead became more dogmatic and intent on making physical changes to push herself and others toward perfection. At the age of 15 she became one of the temples best teachers of the physical aspects of the martial arts. However, the fury building in her was never quite satisfied and she longed to bring her teachings and that of Irori to the outside world. So she requested permission to preach in the street about the ways of Irori, his truth and light. So 5 days a week she would go out into the street and perform feats of strength and stamina, and how Irori's teaching had allowed her to develop the ability to achieved such things. One day while explaining the search for self perfection to a Knight on the street, she was called out. The knight said sarcastically "If you want to go spread the good word why don't you do it in the stolen lands. I hear Rostland is hire people to clean it up and possibly resettle it." After investigating this comment and finding it to be true, Buddara asked the abbet of her temple to allow her to under take the journey.
Really wanted to make a full Iroran Paladin(See Inner Sea Combat Guide) but couldn't, I really wanted her to be mounted. So my first request would be to ask, 1)Is their some way for her to aquire a mount or animal companion ? 2)The second thing would be is if you could make a house rules alteration to the class allowing me to make my bond with an animal companion instead of unarmed strikes?

One day while explaining the search for self perfection to a Knight on the street, she was called out. When she asked the Knight what could he possibly mean he said "Your search for self perfection is meaningless. Some of us don't have the time with such nonsense. We have real problems to deal with like the Orcs, demons, and Worldwound. My whole family was killed by Demon's and I will have my revenge. I am going to join the Knights of Ozem to see that that no else ever has to go that experience." Buddara responded with by saying "My parents were also killed by demons, but that has not prevented me from seeking self-perfection." The Knight starred back at her and said "Huh, women" and stalked off into the crowd. Having learned long ago not to deal with rejection and not to respond to such statements with anger Buddara calmed herself. And came to the sudden realization that this was it, this was what was holding her back, that not dealing her parents death, with the silent fury within was what was holding her back from reaching the next level in her personal development. With this realization came the question of how to confront this problem. Thinking back to what the Knight said she decided that she too would become a knight of Ozem. And through confronting the demons so too confront her own past and rage.
