Her regular height and athletic build might not be quite enough to get her noticed in crowds, but her obnoxiously red, cropped hair and brightly-colored clothes are what some might consider 'visually assaulting.' She has a black-pattern tattoo on her left arm that she had gotten when she was fifteen. Her eyes dance with their usual merriment and her lips are often curved into a goofy grin giving her a harmless, friendly appearance. All vestiges of femininity except for her obvious curves were thrown out of the drain since the day she was born though some might still call her pretty when she is rid of all the dust and grime that she is usually covered in. A lot of people do often mistake her for a boy to which she just nonchalantly grins and winks, having been used to such instances.

Biography: Born and raised on Wynlan under the watchful eyes of her father, a high-ranking military official, Vanerin had been marching to beat of the war drums since day one. Her mother had died piloting one of the machines during one of the Wynlan take-overs when she was just five-years old. She was then placed under the tutelage of various 'volunteers', her father's friends and subjects in the military.
She barely survived an exclusive all-girls Academy where she had learned her exceptional cooking skills and caused chaos and havoc on the process. She suspects that her father's influence was the only thing that prevented the school from kicking her out especially when some very odd people, namely her 'tutors', arrived during and after school hours in unorthodox manners to drill her in any skill they deemed necessary. She learned basic combat and survival skills while her classmates were prancing around in frilly dresses, learning to how to curtsy properly during some what-not event.
She was granted permission to leave the academy at fifteen and transferred to the Wynlan military school where her skills were further honed. Not a lot of students, especially girls, where accepted into the academy due to its rigorous entrance examinations but Vanerin was able to pass with flying colors. Along with her outstanding results and various recommendations, she was assigned to advanced classes and specialized training. Field events and cadet-support systems were common place where they engaged in real combat under close guarding from their instructors and the Wynlan military. They often caught glimpses of certain war legends and would chatter excitedly about how they would also be as successful someday. Rumors about turmoil in Utapa had kept young ears glued to the rumor mill and many a sleepless night.
She graduated at the top of her class at eighteen and was assigned to the scouting division as a starter. The Great Eye had started its reign and Wynlan was now tuning in to a louder beat of the war drums. After a year, she requested for a transfer to the research and technology division where she was able to secure a position as a pilot to one of the Wynlan Military machines. After another year, she alternated between several divisions out of curiosity and gained several promotions. Currently, she is returning on Wynlan territory after several scouting missions.
Personality: Loud, cocky, and crazy are just some of the words used to describe Vanerin Rossetta. Her seemingly boundless energy and devil-may-care attitude made a lot of her comrades wary of whatever she has brewing inside her mind. She immediately warms-up to complete strangers due to her extensive experience in the art of drunken comradeship and is very quick to jump in on bar room brawls. She usually speaks frankly and honestly with everybody, but has also learned to be polite and even sometimes 'sugarcoat' her words when necessary. People who are "too nice" confuse her and puts her on a panic since she doesn't know how to deal with them, preferring the familiarity of brotherly rough-housing. When somebody verbally offends her, she just shrugs it off as something not worth bothering with, but usually hits back brutally when it gets physical.
According to her commanding officer, "Vanerin might be twenty-five year old woman but she sure acts like a ten-year old little boy."
Items of Interest:
- + A miniature, one-person glider that can be used to travel over a distance depending on the wind currents and elevation. It is made out of a mix of high-quality wood, brass fittings, and air-resistant cloth. An orb infused with the element of air gives it extra mileage and maneuverability. When not in use, it folds into a neat contraption that fits inside a pouch that she carries behind her back.
+ An adjustable, malleable tool that can be customized and re-outfitted with various materials to accommodate various functions. Especially useful for repairs and on-the-spot inventions. This fits into a bag located on her left hip.
+ Hook shot, a self-made tool of Vanerin's that utilizes penetrable surfaces to allow the user to 'fish' objects from a distance or to allow the user to catapult on the targeted area. This is stored on another bag on her left hip.
+ A brass-handled rapier that she rarely uses. According to Vanerin, the sword is merely for show and "swash-buckling wowness." It is placed inside a reinforced leather sheath on her right hip.
Talents:
- + With a penchant for machinery and a natural flair for putting things together, Vanerin is a self-declared machina extraordinaire. She can repair and modify most types of machinery after spending some time tinkering around with it and has also been known to create new things from scattered spare parts.
+ Though she likes to pretend that she's a defenseless girl, Vanerin is an expert in the Wynlan millitary hand-to-hand combat technique. It consists of a flurry of straight-forward, power-loaded punches, kicks, and bone-breaking holds that she modified to include a series of feints and acrobatic movements that require flexibility and agility.
+ Advanced military medic training and marksmanship.
+ Usually devoid of any domestic inclinations, Vanerin's cooking abilities usually comes as a huge shock to many. She is able to produce Wynlan's famed haute cuisine that is complex and highly-developed due to the abundance of food sources. She is also able to scrounge up whatever is available and turn it into a delicious, if not, decent meal.
+ What she lacks in brilliance and skill, she makes up for ten-fold in confidence and balls. Where others would hesitate, she wouldn't think twice and usually gets it accomplished.
Personal Interests: Her initial interest was just to rise in the military ranks and live up to the expectations of her father. After spending some time scouting for the army, she was able to gain a better understanding of the current situation. Now, she seeks to aid in the battle against the Necropolis and the Great Eye in order to stop the impending threat to humanity.
