Sondra Bello, the Sword-for-Hire. [OC]

Sondra Bello is a 5'8", sturdily built adult black woman. her hair is black and slightly wavy, the sides of which tied back into a tight braid that runs halfway down her back, the top of her hair left short and to fall down the side of her face. her eyes are alert, and brown as tigerseye. she's an adventurer at heart; good with reasoning and improvisation. she's well spoken, with a very slight "proper" accent she developed during her guard training, but her vocabulary is hardly ever posh or flowery. she can be a bit dense, but she's a sweetheart who only means well, and she'll probably get the job done.

[[physical appearance, attributes, and personality: (Sondra is a black woman, her skin a warm dark brown. her hair is inky black, the strands usually clumped together with sweat from her work, but the sheer volume causing it to still look nice and fluffy nonetheless. the sides of her hair are pulled back into a tight braid, running halfway down her back, while the top section of her hair is left loose and short, falling over the right side of her face for a very partial bang. her voice is confident, deep and velvety, hard but at same time somewhat soft; the texture of a pebble smoothed by a creek. Sondra is an excellent adventurer, having been previously trained as a royal guard,, and also just generally being less foolhardy than most overconfident mercenaries. she may have yet to fell a dragon, but she's also yet to be torched by one, isn't she? her caution, preparation, rationale, and dedication, allowed her to gain wide experience through mostly mid to low level contracts alone. she's confident that she could handle a more risky job at this point, even if she favors comfortable consistency over a brush with death that promises a big payout. she can't say she's working towards a certain goal, a recognized name, or any sort of higher enlightenment hogwash..; she just wishes to live how she will. she travels where she does, earns coin where she can, drinks when she's thirsty, and enjoys conversing with the people. she tries to be kind when she can. often too much, especially when it's someone she cares for more than baseline. she tries to put herself first, but her heart of gold weighs heavy on her mind. she tells herself that there is no use in being a hero,, and still when the worst comes to worst, she always puts others first. she sticks mostly to questing for beasts for this reason, as her moral compass likes to steer her into harm's way when it comes to humans. she often gets very upset when she witnesses an injustice, and will fight the perpetrator without hesitation. she is loyal to people who she deems worthy of it, and she's incredibly sentimental, though she can be rather dense when it comes to emotions. for as much empathy as she has, she's really better suited for,,, practicality. she deals with things by solving them. she's trying her best. she wears thick scrappy gear comprised mostly of gambeson and sparse plate, often torn or dented. in any given situation, she's hardly interested in looking presentable more than she is in keeping herself alive. the body beneath the armor is what really matters after all, and her armor has kept her form preserved impressively, save for a few scars. the oh-so-merciful gods bestowed her with shoulders twice wide as her hips are narrow, and a chest larger than her breasts - which were already about as understated as oranges. but she is quite toned; her whole body all firm and ample with muscle, but still smooth; not sinewy or rippling per se, just.. ripe. virile. not really feminine at all; frankly,, built like a man, from certain angles. she never quite worked out those hip dips.. while she does find herself rather beautiful in her own way, she figures most would disagree from her neck down. she has an odd aversion to swearing. not that she finds it too vulgar or unbecoming; she's far past that. she just rarely finds a reason to. her favorite food is mutton, though,, unfortunately, she feels bad for the poor sheep. or shellfish, especially prawns. smells of fragrant herbs, which she stuffs her armor with to ward off bugs and body odor. she still manages to smell like sweat.))]
