Lady Indiana Ripley ni Gwydion
Indastar Stormgleam of the Burnished Battlements

Sidhe Wilder
Knight of the Battery
Guardian of Caer Falkoria
Blade of the Bannerets of the Beloved

Description


Mortal Seeming: ~Tall, lean, and leggy define this "cool girl". Indiana Ripley struts in like she just owns the place. Skinny jeans and a Hot Topic t-shirt cling to a lithe and athletic frame. Indiana troops in wearing fresh Timberlands and ample gold around her fingers. She might even whimsically don a silvery hand blossom now and then. Ink peeks out from under her arm sleeves. The long-faced brunette wears a smile as easily as her video game-branded shirt. A birth mark adorns her cheek beside an aquiline nose. Indiana binds back vibrant chestnut-brown hair into ponytails and other carefree "active" styles. A few loose bangs often frame dark-flecked hazel eyes. Her gaze lights up at first sight of trouble, a challenge, or sweet hardware. Life's not a game, but Indiana clearly likes to treat it like one.~

OOC: Appearance 3

Fae Mien: ~Imposition best defines this Sidhe knight. Indiana Ripley stands tall and powerful. Earnest danger flashes in eyes verdant with the fires of summer. Silver and gold jewelry and accouterments glitter around the woman until the starry glint forms a shining corona. The combination of beauty and fortification form gleaming armor fit to the noblewoman's lean and graceful frame. A broad shield and traditional cavalier weapons hang from her belt and back. The emblem of the lion etches marvelously into the Sidhe's breastplate and shield. If without armor, the metallic halo lessens, flashing only from the lady's jewelry. Indiana might wear instead a fine tunic of silk and cotton leggings to match. Shoulder-length dark hair relays volumes of deep dark hues: earthy and primordial browns. Regardless of her attire and style, and despite her aristocratic background, big black boots dominate her tread. Like all Sidhe, she makes her mark with a simple smile and inherent quality that scintillates wherever she marches.~

"That was truly pathetic. Dare to try me again?"

Weakness
Girl Power


Indiana isn't really trying to be "one of the boys". In fact, she's trying to be better than them. Maybe trying too hard and too much.

Likelihood of Corruption


Average.

While Indy has a good heart and moral compass, she stands on the vanguard of a vital faerie stronghold and has already been pitted against dark forces that corrupt as much as destroy, and she will face them again.
