Username: Happy Sparky
Name: Aoife Marquard
Age: 19
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Weapon: Sol Vita, a rapier created with the essence of light and life. Its intricately ornamental design is as pretty as it is deadly. It pierces, cuts, and separates like a solid ray of sunlight on a dark stormy day. It is said to bring death to life and darkness to light. The very ground that it touches springs with flora and its edges shimmer with an inane glow that brings fear towards the creatures of the dark. This sword has been passed down from generations of Marquards, or so Aoife thought.
There was supposed to be a family heirloom that is passed down to the next heir of the Marquard clan, but a clumsy servant out on a retrieval errand plus marketplace chaos equals disastrous consequences, at least for family history and such. The family heirloom was unknowingly swapped with the Legendary blade, which came from a traveling merchant.

Personality:Quite the opposite of the character required of a soldier, Aoife is soft-spoken, gentle, and kind. She is capable of fooling even the most perceptive of people into believing that she is a member of the opposite gender
and as such, is often introduced and addressed as Sir Marquard.
Though in reality, when her true form is exposed, her feminine demeanor often places her at a position where nobody would believe that she is useful in a fight. The usual reaction from somebody when they learn of her occupation and up-bringing is, "What?! That's not possible..." Despite appearances and her general personality, the heir to the Marquard clan is not to be taken lightly for though her heart is kind, it is also brave and capable of gaining the will to fight.

Bio:The next heir to the long line of Royal Guards, the Marquard clan, Aoife struggles under a very long shadow. Though people might respect her, she feels that it is only because of her family and not because of who she really is. Her father is one of the kings most trusted general, adviser, and friend, so it is fairly common that she gets to meet the Prince during social gatherings. They have exchanged pleasantries, but friendship has never yet blossomed between the two.
During social gatherings, Aoife is often whisked away to be introduced as the squad leader of a recently victorious conquest or as the creator of ground-breaking innovation in military warfare. Unlike the other prominent young ladies of the castle, she is unable to participate in the latest balls and events seeing as that she is most often camped out in some unknown area scouting for enemy troops. Most people in the kingdom regard her as a military prodigy and the best candidate for RKG's top position after her father's retirement.
Most men, especially the soldiers directly under her, regard her as a man and would sometimes even forget up to the point of almost doing things that shouldn't be done in a woman's presence. Currently, Aoife is inside the Kingdom's premises to train new recruits for a year.

Name: Vanerin Marquard
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Class: Crystal Knight
Primary Attribute: Light
Bio: The next heir to a long line of powerful and noble Crystal Knight Warriors, Vanerin's destiny was already written down long before she was born. At the tender age of 4, she was already quite proficient in the art of swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat. Her father was a strict man, while the clan elders were even more rigid and unyielding. They wanted her to become a Crystal Knight. Period. Being otherwise would have meant bringing shame to her family since she was, after all, the next in line to take over after her father's death. She was continually under pressure to train harder, to be the best. It was no wonder she turned out as cold and austere as her family. Even her crystal attribute was already 'foreseen' by the elders as they continually pushed the element of Light on her. So, Light attribute, Crystal Knight the little Vanerin became. Her family was also affluent and very influential in the City of Oren, thereby securing her chances of getting inside a preparatory Academy. She passed all scrutiny and judgment with flying colors, barely breaking a sweat as she breezed by all those who wished to bring her down as the family heir. Though a smile was pasted on her face, her heart has gone numb, her mind blank as she began her training in the academy. As expected, she excelled and was hailed as on of the top students in the preparatory Academy. The long standing invitation to join the prestigious Berret Lee Academy was then taken into consideration after she graduated. Before long, her bags were packed and she was shipped off towards the start of another pre-determined life.
Appearance: [V.M.]
Other: Always at the center of attention, Vanerin's acting talents are superb. Nobody really would believe that beneath the smiling, dignified facade is a confused and sorrowful soul.
