Aseult (undistressedamsel)
Gender: 2
Race: Gondorian
Height: 5' 8
Age: 19
Family: Parents, both dead from the plague; a brother, Kainen (23)
Animals: mare, Vanima
Weapons: can shoot with a longbow; is slightly better than mediocre with daggers. never had any formal training, only what she picked up from her brother
Personality: Her greatest strength is definitely inner resolution. She can conquer any issue, especially personal, by contemplation; she is very at peace with herself and her surroundings simply by deciding she will be. Once in a while, though, something comes along where she can't just move on, and she has trouble with those times. Her greatest weakness is that she looks at people's good sides; their bad sides are often hidden from her until she is forced to see it through first-hand experience. Her education includes languages, extensive literature, and the longbow. Her brother Kainen taught her how to fight with daggers and her fists in order to protect herself. She is most at ease when she isn't in conflict with others; it's not that she doesn't have the strength to fight with someone, or that she's so peaceful that she cannot bear the thought of being angry, she just likes being on good terms with people. She is least at ease when she feels that someone who she loves is uncomfortable or unhappy. Her one wish is that her brother Kainen would stop worrying so much about her. She loves him dearly, but often wants him to go off in his life, and leave her to her own, because she feels like his life is mostly centered around her and wants what is best for him as well. She's an optimist, but not annoyingly so; she just looks on the bright side of life, quoted from the everlastingly wonderful monty python. She does get emotional about situations, however, if someone she loves is involved and is hurting. Some of her better characteristics are her ability to not take offense at needless insults, as well as her tact. Her worse characteristics are blindness when it comes to meeting people; she can't read them, and assumes everyone means the best even if she has heard otherwise. She relates well to people, and can talk easily with strangers. She is cautious, however, of people who may be trying to take things from her or those she loves. She's not stupid. Her most likable trait is her openness and peace; her least is often the same. For others who do not have her calmness, it can be unsettling at times and maddening at others.

History:
She was born in Osgiliath seven years after the defeat of Mordor. Both her parents died in a plague when she was three, so she and her seven-year-old brother were taken in by their only living relative, a great-uncle and the former Captain of the City Guard. He began to train Kainen (her brother) to take a place in the Guard, while she learned from her tutor languages, history, and literature, as well as the longbow and equestrian skills. Her brother took care of her all through her childhood and through her entire life; he was the parent figure, as well as just a guiding role model. He taught her to fight with daggers and her fists, in case she ever was alone and needed to protect herself. When she was eighteen (and him 22), she fell in love with his best friend Riav, also a Guardsman. She became pregnant and was eventually cast out from the city by her influential great-uncle after Riav refused to acknowledge his child and she induced a miscarriage with herbs. Her brother came with her, disgusted with their great-uncle and his best friend. Now they are headed west toward Rohan, with a vague idea of finding a hamlet or town in which to live.
