[Weaponry:]
She wields a long sword that has long been passed down in her family to slay demons, and though she is new to its weight and size, she has mastered the blade. Aryanna's blade is unique, in the sense that the spirit of her guardian fox resides within it.

[Other Items:]
She possesses prayer and exorcism scrolls to aid her in battle.


[Abilities:]
She has power over earth (an ability that she manipulates into giving her super-human strength). She first discovered her ability at the age of nine while learning herblore with her mother when she touched a dying plant and it sprang immediately into bloom once more. Since then she's learned to hone it into moving large chunks of earth in battle, causing miniature earthquakes, etc. She can also grow things on a moment's notice, especially in battle, things like vines, thorny whips, etc. Though she prefers to stick with her sword and scrolls.

She also has a slight ability to heal non-life threatening wounds. This ability she forced herself to learn, a way of dealing with smaller wounds on her own without freaking out as she is apt to do with anything that bleeds.


[Other Abilities:] (ie Passive Abilities)
Her guardian fox can take over her body at any time when she seems to be in need of aid, and it has power solely over shadows.


[History:]

Character Biography
As a young child Aryanna was raised as the apprentice to her priestess mother. She and her brother trained together to continue the dying legacy of the Ravenclaw clan. When she was six she discovered a wounded fox sheltering at the base of a tree just outside of her family’s shrine and immediately felt drawn to it. In secret she treated it- knowing deep down that, should either of her parents discover her new friend, it would be cursed to die.

She learned that his name was Yaryck when the duo inadvertently created a bond and she learned what he was. The rest of her youth was pretty uneventful, save the adventures in slaying and exercising that they shared.

The year of her 18th birthday misfortune struck. She was named the heir of the shrine and her brother, Raizel, defected to the demons. That night he led the demons upon their family- their parents sacrificed their lives to seal the lot of the demons, and Anna herself nearly died in the process. This day brought her fear of blood into play as well as her meticulousness when it came to the cleanliness of her home. She never forgave Raizel for what he has done, and has vowed to achieve vengeance for the deaths of their parents, though she still lives to protect innocent lives- she puts her quest for vengeance on the back burner of her life until the time comes that she has a clear shot of gaining it.

Over the next four years she became somewhat of a hermit. She gave up on all of her friendships and love interests. She became, in essence, a recluse who only showed up in town when there was danger or her supplies were depleted.
