Kardia of Rhodes: The Bottomless Knight

Name: Kardia of Rhodes

Age: 24 y.o

Height: 183 cm

Background:

Born into the prestigious Lineage of the Crimson Crest, Kardia was raised in the sun-drenched fortresses of Rhodes. While her brothers focused on the heavy logistics of siege warfare, Kardia took a peculiar interest in the "mobility" of her gear. She argued that the standard issue plate armor was too restrictive for a duelist of her caliber, leading her to commission a custom set that prioritized freedom of movement over, well, modesty. Her nickname, "The Bottomless Knight," started as a battlefield rumor among terrified enemies who couldn't tell if they were being flanked or flirted with. Eventually, she embraced the title as a mark of her unconventional confidence. She now wanders the realms as a mercenary for hire, claiming that her lack of rear protection is a testament to the fact that she never intends to turn her back on an opponent.

Personality:

Kardia is relentlessly confident, possessing a wit as sharp as her longsword. She finds amusement in the stunned silence of her peers and uses her suggestive appearance as a tactical distraction. She is playful, fiercely independent, and enjoys the power she holds over those who can't keep their eyes on her blade. Despite her flirtatious exterior, she is a disciplined warrior who takes her oaths seriously—even if she doesn't take her wardrobe seriously.

Physical Description:

Kardia is a woman of statuesque height with an incredibly curvaceous and athletic build. Her upper body is encased in polished, high-quality steel plate, including a closed-face helmet topped with a vibrant red plume. Below the waist, however, the armor vanishes entirely, replaced only by a thin set of leather straps and the occasional hint of chainmail that does very little to obscure her voluminous, sun-kissed hips and rear. She wears thigh-high leather boots and steel greaves, often finishing the look with high-heeled armored sabatons that click rhythmically against the stone.
