Appearance:
Gianetta is 5'5" with close cropped dark hair and light brown eyes. Her skin is bronzed and she has a trim athletic frame from regular outdoor activity. A simple longsword and steel shield emblazoned with the symbol of the Inheritor that fairly shine with multiple uses of the prestidigitation spell are seldom far from reach. Her voice is strong and clear and she certainly likes the sound of it.
Brief History:
Born to bards who had travelled to the Worldwound to record the glories and exploits of the assembled heroes there, Gianetta was raised on tales of the Inheritor. Inspired by her humble origins and eventual deification at the Starstone, Gianetta would often dress in play armor and quest with the other children of the town. She inherited her parent's gifts, and would often give impromtu recitals of heroic ballads, or religious reading from the Acts of Iomedae to any that would listen. As she grew older and bolder, she dreamed of proving herself a crusader of Iomedae. Weapons training was available for any that were willing, so she took up the study of swordplay with soliders from the garrison. One night, while sitting around the fire with her comrades, she overheard them speak of a circle of stones at the end of an old hunting path where cultists were known to perform their rituals. Thinking to prove her mettle, she snuck beyond the walls of the city to the path, only to be nearly captured by the very cultists. If not for the sudden appearance of a mysterious woman, she surely would have been given up in foul sacrifice. However frightening, the experience was also exhilarating and she threw herself into her training to be sure she'd be prepared the next time she ran across them.
Introduction:
"Well met crusaders," the handsome woman says with a bright smile and twinkle in her eye. "You lot don't look like fieldhands here to play at soldiery. Call me Gianetta," she extends her hand forthrightly. "Praise the Inheritor and all who flock to her banner."
