Name: Lissa "Vasilissa"Belator
Race: Daemen
Age: 1600 Daemen years, 16 human years
Class/Occupation: Middle class, Warrior
Background: Lissa has grown up without the comfort of a mother; without any females. She grew up living under the roof of her father and her two borthers. Lissa being the youngest, and the only female of the children, she recieved the blame, for almost everything, but always seemed to avoid punishment. Lissa struggled in her younger years to stay in tune with the family, she had few close calls with major injury from her brothers because of the passing of the blame.
Her father was a merciless man of aristocracy, but after his wife's death he began to go crazy. He was left with Lissa, swearing to protect her from anything and everything that could harm her. Though his law was set in stone when he said that Lissa would never be able to learn to fight.
Though throughout Lissa's chilhood, she faught and wrestled her own brothers. She learned all her fighting skills from her borthers, Ostheron and Solis, who taught her in secret. They taught her not only hand to hand combat, but also how to weild a sword. She was a formidable opponent for even her brothers when she picked up a sword, until her father found out.
Finding out that Lissa had learned to fight, his crippled mind was furious, and he began to see her only as an opponent. his insanity grew as he watched her, learning her moves. calculating her weaknesses, as his demented mind continued to see her as an improving challenger that would and could, take what belonged to him. Eventually Lissa's father could bare it no longer, and while they sat by the fire, he drew his sword and jumped at Lissa.
Startled she pulled a fire poker from the stand by the fire pit and began to defend herself. Her father spoke harsh words to her, counting her down like a madman. She continued to fight her father physically and mentally through bleary, tearfilled eyes. Her father though, with his years of expirience, was better than she. Far better. The fight had practically ended before it truly began.
Lissa fell to her father, and in his deranged mind, he only saw her as an enemy; someone to dominate. He took hold of another fire poker, one that had been laying in the fire pit through the evening and stabbed Lissa with the burning iron, leaving her to scar.
Scared out of her mind, she withdrew within to herself. She hides from her diluted father, within the walls of her own home. Her brothers, which each lived in their own homes now, visited every so often to check and make sure she wasn't going insane like their father, until the day he finally passed; leaving her within herself, but in charge of her own household.
Personality: Lissa has a very withdrawn attitude around people she doesn't know, or care for. She is very quiet, and doesn't gain feelings towards anyone quickly. She feels as if the world is out to get her always. Being alone for Lissa, is golden time. She lives alone, and spends as much possible time in her own home as she can. She doesn't really have friends, and isn't particularly interested in making any. She is very judgemental of those around her. For Lissa, and enemy is any person she does not know, and can not trust.
Though she is a fighter by nature, and can be very argumenative. When someone she's let in and trusts, begins a debate on something she is passionate about, she won't give in until her point is made clear. Also, she hates to be told that she is wrong. She is constantly learning new things, and knows lots, but hates to admit someone knows more about something then she does. She is very stubborn and doesn't give in easily when provoked. When she is told that she's wrong, then her withdrawn attitude fades and she is very attentive to prove her point, and sets out to find a contradiction in the other person. She is very observant when she doesn't say much, but when she wants to make a valid point she uses her words wisely. Lissa is not a highly sympathetic person. She prefers to be blunt in her opinions when asked or provoked, but otherwise she does keep them in her mind. the only exception being that the person is a friend, or ally, in which case she tends to let all out. She is always on the defensive and is always plotting for a counterattack of either verbal, mental, or pyhsical type.
Weapon(s)/ Abilities:
~ Carries a sword and a belt that holds bottles of poisons and elixirs.
~ Knows how to fair off the wild
Strengths: Lissa had a mind built for strategy. Lissa has a high tolerance for pain from growing up with constant bumps and bruises. Though Lissa doesn't say much, her actions speak for her and her thoughts are heard. Lissa grew up in a regal household, so she can talk and act like someone of a higher class. Though she is alone, she tends to pick up on emotions that others would like to keep hidden.
Weaknesses: Though Lissa can take a lot of pain, she loses blood rather quickly which means if she suffers a major injury, she might not feel it, but it can make her weak and sluggish, to where she can no longer fight. When seeing beatings of a female or a young child, she mentally caves. The pain of fighting continually surrounds her, even in her lonliness when there is nothing but memories to fight.
Appearance: Lissa has a fair complection. She is fair skinned with lighter hair. Her eyes are a deep sapphire color. Though Lissa's hair is very long, she keeps it up and pulled back, so that it does not go past her mid-back.
Fashion: Lissa wears simple clothes such as tanks and pants. She loathes wearing frilly clothing because it doesn't allow her to move as freely as she would like. But if the occasion were to arise for a formal event, she would wear a dress with a tight fitting torso, and a looser, shorter bottom from waist-down.
