Kityara Rivendale AKA "The Lioness."

Age: 19

Kityara has never taken a strong position in politics, but more often finds that her

services end up within the hands of false kings and queens. Not taking a liking to

politics is often what has saved her from a grisly end either in a boring marriage or

at the executioner's block. Not knowing her own past has also saved her on many 

occasions. Every king and queen would wish to put her to death if they truly knew.

For as long as she can remember she has been travelling with Kade, her mentor,

who has taught her everything from survival to swordsmanship. She had a better

upbringing than most others around her and never held it among her traits leaving

her relatively humble. 

She gained the title of "Lioness" after her fighting prowess during the 'Battle of the 

Betrayers' and how she famously lost her hairbands leaving her looking like a lion

across the scorched fields. She was due to be knighted but she travelled out of the 

county of Arida before she could ever accept the knighthood. She claimed she 

refused it because "I'll let my own story tell itself, I already have a new name, I don't

need to be called Dame Kityara as well." 

Unfortunately, she suffers from frequent nightmares, many sages claim they're 

premonitions of futures to come and some of the nightmares are of the past, most frequently

of the Night of Silent Cries. Kityara has come to accept them and Kade has gotten used to

helping her deal with them even if every Priest of the Eight would suggest praying and worship.

Overall, she's relatively humble and calm but never afraid to defend her few friends and

even her mentor if the situation requires. She has never had the desire to rule unlike so

many others, which she claims is survival instinct.
