Scouting Report
Tough. Blunt. Stubborn to a fault. Never yields a fight, an argument or a bet, and has outlasted stronger opponents just by refusing to stay down. Farm-raised and practical, turns everything into a contest (breakfast included), and will step between a friend and trouble without thinking. Tact is still a work in progress. It's literally a Chivalry 101 assignment.

Magic
Magic: a mending charm, a warming spell, and healing that closes small cuts. Badly.
On the Field
Wavy brown hair shoved into a stubby ponytail, steady brown eyes, and a lopsided grin with a little scar at the corner. Stocky, broad-shouldered, built to carry a shield all day. Always wearing at least one fresh bruise or bandage, like a badge.
Practice gear: steel pauldron and vambraces over a teal gambeson, potion vials on her belt, teal shorts, beat-up blue sneakers, great-helm under one arm. Off duty: oversized Gryphons hoodie. Carries a longsword and a kite shield painted with her future crest, a golden lion and a star.
Pumped About
Sparring for real · shield drills · tournament days · fizzy ley-soda · big breakfasts and meat pies · tactics books · old tourney records
Hard Pass
"Take it easy" · sitting out · being coddled · snobby noble knights · formal dresses · losing (especially by forfeit)
Support Squad
Three lingerer cats who adopted her room: Biscuit (lazy), Sir Pounce (bold) and Mayhem (self-explanatory). She coaches them like teammates.
Season Goal
Make the Gryphons roster before the fall tournament. Prove a farm girl can be a real knight.
"I'll tell you when I'm done."
Took a hit. Got back up.
