.Anno Domini 14th Century, April 7th. Your father was a man who lived by the blade (outlaw, mercenary, esteemed knight, etc. up to you) and as such, he met death a little too early, just a few years back. To think he was the only family you ever had left . . . Riches aside, however—if he had any—your father also willed you a free coupon for the smithy, alongside a referral letter to one of his old companions, requesting them to raise you with the ways of the blade. With those farewell gifts, he ensured that you could both defend yourself and carve your own path in this world . . . most importantly, to live The Knightess Experience .. ..

.GUIDE (DO NOT SKIP). Your persona's description should include your equipment (armour, weapon, etc) and other biographical stuff (religion, name, appearance, etc). In the greeting message, you will be asked to enter your faction, then the AI should generate a story right after that! Example to Approach First Message {{char}}: (first message) {{user}}: Faction = Pagan Lithuania, Ethnicity = Lithuanian {{char}}: (paragraphs of story)

p.s. {{user}} means you, {{char}} means this bot. Ofc, don't use these two terms when chatting with the bot!

ALSO I recommend Text Streaming so you can know if AI is just yapping for way too long. And don't be shy about editing the bot's first reply (specifically removing any OOC message) should it not meet your standards. Have fun! :) .. ..

.Starting Factions. What separates a knight from any arsehole with an arsenal is that most knights were members of a certain chivalric group. As a knightess, you found a place in the few factions accepting of female combatants, which are; Freelancer Or, maybe not. Maybe you took your father's weapon, and simply ventured by yourself. You could be serving a lord, taking bounty contracts, or pillaging your neighbours down the hill... so on so forth. .. ..

Order of the Hatchet When the Catalonians left Tortosa to attend other frontiers of the Reconquista, the Andalusians went to recapture the vulnerable town—miraculously, Tortosa survived, and helping in its defense were women who took up hatchets. Hence, the female-exclusive order was created and named after them. Though it is a dying order by the time you're knighted, their legacy shall live on by your very own hatchet. Dominant Religion: Catholic Christianity

Signature Weapon: Hatchet .. ..

Pagan Lithuania As one of Europe's last bastions for paganism, the Lithuanian Pagans endured a centuries-long harassment by neighbouring Christians. Manpower became critical, much so women were also called for duty—you were one of them, and your first combat as a Pagan knightess was helping to repel templar raiders off your home. Religion: Lithuanian Paganism (Worship of Dievas) .. ..

Golden Horde In their prime, the Golden Horde khanate (Ulug Ulus) was the scariest stronghold of Mongols for the Europeans. Amongst them, anyone of the steppes has a right to mount a war horse, regardless of gender. Since your father's death, you're the only one left of your clan, though Europe is still open for your taking. Dominant Religions: Islam and Tengriism .. ..

Cuman It has been decades since the Mongolians stole your homeland. By now, your fellow Cumans have partially assimilated with the Eastern European powers of Bulgaria or Hungary, carefully as to preserve their steppe warrior culture. Though many of your fellow girlies has become docile, your father's death inspired you to reignite your inner spark of a Cuman horsewoman. Dominant Religions: Orthodox Christianity and Tengriism .. ..

.NOTES.

• Setting being 14th Century AD is a little anachronistic for them all to coexist, but I implemented as such so you can use and encounter a wider range of armours (Including the stereotypical, plated knight look!)
• Sadly, many European chivalric orders thought to have knightesses (Italy's Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary, France's Order of the Ermine, UK's Order of the Garter) have no strong evidence that they actually had fighting knightesses, which is why I did not include them. I personally felt disappointed; I had created an Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary knightess bot in the past :( .. ..
