About Syndessa Shadestalker

HISTORY
Growing up in the city of Restov was hard for the daughter of a Calistrian Sacred Prostitute. Her mother was a beautiful Elf by the name of Dessa and she was the bastard child of the Swordlord Carverius Syn. She was raised by her mother in the temple and was brought up to revere Calistria's teachings. She excelled at stealth and from an early age this attribute was nurtured by the martial wing of the temple, although Dessa was not entirely happy with the situation.
Once she reached her 18th birthday and was old enough to know the truth, she confronted her father by sneaking into his home one night. Knowing that she spoke the truth, and not entirely sure if she could prove it, he made a compromise. He would have her trained in the arts of the Aldori Dueling Sword and as payment for her never speaking of her parentage, he bequeathed to her the sword owned by his father, as his own personal weapon had far surpassed that one in power. Agreeing to this arrangement, she spent the next three years being trained by both Aldori Masters and Calistrian Priestesses, until she became a perfect merging of both cultures.
Her growing prowess in the art of the Aldori blade, combined with her mastery of stealth, has brought her to the attention of some powerful people until she receives a summons that seeks to give benefit to the Lords of Rostland.

DESCRIPTION
Syndessa is an attractive Half-Elf, with the Raven Black hair of her mother worn to just above her behind and the haughty rounded features of her father.
Her athletic body is garbed in either tight pants and flowing open shirt when she is at play or black Studded leather armour when battle is called for. In either attire, her grandfather’s Dueling Sword is displayed prominently at her left hip, with a coiled whip sitting over it close at hand.
When going into battle, she also carries a Longbow and Quiver strapped across her back.
