Dame Lynelle

21 Female Irish Christian

Homeland Estregales

Distinctive features: Golden blonde hair, sparkling eyes

Family Characteristic: Literate

You are from the Irish kingdom of Estregales, situated in the west of Cambria. You were raised a proper lady, daughter of a banneret and destined for marriage to a great lord.

All that changed when your parents and siblings perished at the hands of Pictish raiders from the north. With your father’s faithful esquire, Booth, you escaped and swore revenge. You have spent the last several years training under Booth’s expert guidance in the hills of Cambria. As far as anyone knows, you died along with your family. Now, your training complete, you have taken up the guise of your father’s arms and armor to seek your fortune…and vengeance against those who wronged you. Your education in the art of war has proven bloody and painful, but you are a fast learner and can hold your own in battle.

Although you bear the arms of a knight, you are not yet formally knighted. You have thus far been able to move amongst the warrior-brotherhood by concealing your true identity, a lie which has forced you to keep constantly on the move. Your dearest wish is to be formally knighted, so that you need no longer live a lie.
