Character Full Name: Ravenna Lockwood

Character In-Game Name: Ravenna

Nickname(s): None

Race: Human

Class: Warrior

Skills and Abilities: Ravenna is an agile and swift warrior, much more inclined to parry, dodge and block the blows that are headed for her instead of relying on a thick suit of armour to absolve the damage. Her main weapon would be a long spear, granting her a long range and a wide variety of swift and dangerous moves. She uses her shield mostly to her defence yet in close combat she often uses the offensive capabilities of a the metal plate to her advantage as well.

Another of Ravenna's skills is her remarkable accuracy at range. While the woman is very adept at using a bow and arrow her preference lies with javelins. The sharp and jagged projectiles are hardly of the same calibre as the smaller arrows. A lot more force lies within those javelins Ravenna frequently uses, it requires more skill to handle these projectiles and don't reach as far as most other things used for ranged combat.

Usual Garments/Armour: Ravenna is usually clad in a set of non-restrictive padded chain mail. A quiver filled with crude javelins adorns her back along with the sheathe of her shield. Her long spear also has a sheathe on the woman's back yet it mostly just remains in the grasp of her hands.

Other: Ravenna's body is strewn with the occasional faded scar.

Personality

Often times, Ravenna is an einzelgänger who mostly relies on her own cunning to get through each and every day. This woman does not easily trust strangers or even acquaintances. Her demeanour, however, does not reflect this all too well. Her attitude usually with a cheerful tone and an amiable appearance. Even though Ravenna's trust is not easily gained, her help is all too easily extended towards the less fortunate. All in all, a warrior with a kind heart yet not quite so willing to share her own burdens with the world and more intend on relieving the burdens of others.

History

Ravenna was born amidst a small refugee camp in the desolate area of Lordaeron. A year prior to her birth her parents did meet by accident as they both had narrowly escaped the scene of the First War. They had first escaped from Sunny Glade to a small port on the coast of Westfall. From there, the romance between Ravenna's future parents bloomed during the fleeting yet uneventful flight from the kingdom of Azeroth to Lordaeron.

Their life since then mostly consisted of aiding other refugee's and building up the temporary camp. Her father was of much aid in the camp due to his expertise on woodworking and jacking lumber. Ravenna's mother had been the daughter of a tailor and had taken after her mother in turn. She was quite a bright woman, being literate and quite well-read to boot. The family remained in Lordaeron even during the Second War. It was only after that brutal war that the path had been cleared for the family to return to the friendlier pastures of a kingdom once theirs. The family had settled on a new frontier, instead of returning to the gloomy woods, their home would be Westfall instead.

Her father had taken up a job as a carpenter, working hard to rebuild houses as well as helping in jacking lumber for materials. Ravenna's mother was a tad more reclusive than the girl's father. She concerned herself with raising the child. In these times, the family was relatively happy. Their daughter was a healthy and most endearing being in her early years. These years did not last forever. In Ravenna's early teens the Defias had burnt down a small part of the town and taken over the rest. Her father, an honourable man, had refused to leave his estate to those bandits and chose to pick a fight. The ex-lumberjack had cracked two skulls before a bullet caught him in the chest and ended his life most abruptly.

Ravenna and her mother had been urged to leave for the Sentinel Hill and gather up with the other survivors. They knew the fate of their third family member all too well. While the two women mourned their loss over the course of the next few years, Ravenna took up arms and trained to best the Defias by whom her father had fallen to. Her mother provided some income through her expertise in working textiles. Ravenna had always been rather tall for her age, this only grew to wicked proportions due to a growth-spurt combined by the training activities that held her most busy. It was also a part the fault of her father's genetics.

Ravenna had finally the chance after long years of arduous training, mostly by herself but on occasional helped by close friends of her parents, to strike at the defias. To Ravenna's surprise the anger for the defias had not diminished even one bit even after mercilessly descending upon the unwitting defias in their final hour. It were wise words of her mother not to change the woman's way of life but the reason for her way of life instead. A year after the bloody incident, Ravenna's guilt of taking lives that did not belong to her cleared up and the woman set out for southern lands, seeking to lend aid to those in need. She lived only off the coins she earned by honest labour and her survival skills in the outdoors.
