Author Games: A Knight's Valor

Abigale Maffir of Migolith

♔ Character Name: Abigale Maffir the Chilled [Abb-eh-gale Mah-fear]

♔ Gender: Female

♔ Age: 21

♔ Birthplace: Migolith

♔ Physical Appearance: Abigale was often unseen in her childhood during the winters in Migolith. This reason could be attributed to her reluctance to be anywhere other than the city library, where she studied great tomes accounting the past knights of her family, although she claims it's the white-blonde hair and frost-bitten pale skin so classic to her bloodline, that camouflages her in the cold snow, paired with her small but muscular body. Abigale is adorned with the blue, ice-chip eyes, dark like the frozen pond herself and her twin sister, Bellammie, used to skate on while they practiced with weapons.

♔ Personality: Abigale dreams only of upholding her family's honour and maintaining the chilled demeanour they are so famous for. The only person she smiles and jokes with is her twin, her best friend and self-proclaimed other-half of her soul. As a child, she most enjoyed studying her family's history and the techniques of rivalling houses, in the hopes that she will always be prepared for anything. When sparing, Abigale most prefers the use of a lance or a spear-type weapon, for the range of striking it grants her.

♔ Past: Abigale began training with her aunt and uncle at a young age, alongside her cousins and Bellammie. She learned all manner of fighting, through the cool summers and below zero winters, picking up and learning how to handle a new weapon every few months. Her tireless training paid off, landing her work as part of the local guard, as well as the inheritor to her family's platemail, Sabsir. Her twin sister Bellammie was unfortunately lost in the cruel famine that hit Migolith, devastating Abigale, yet only serving to harden her resolved and cold exterior. She was never the type to commit herself to one romantic partner, finding it a waste of time, instead simply finding a temporary partner whenever she felt the need.

♔ Skills: Because of all of her training, Abigale is skilled with most all weapons and fighting styles, and while she may not be exceptionally smart in the terms of academic studies, she has a great amount of knowledge about other Houses and their heritages. As well, while she may be small, Abigale is hearty and steadfast, said to resemble a puffed-up porcupine in her aggression and known to defeat foes exponentially larger than herself.

♔ Strengths: Abigale can use almost any weapon in combat, as well as heal minor wounds of her own and others. She is small and some say rotund, sturdy enough in the physical-sense and emotional that she won't be pushed over easily. Abigale is always true to her word and everyday strives to uphold the promise she made to Bellammie of spending twenty minutes in silent thought, to help calm her easily ignited temper.

♔ Weaknesses: Abigale has a volatile aggression and although she endeavours to keep a cool exterior, saying something to trigger her results almost immediately with anger. As she is small and muscular, Abigale is not a fast runner- or a runner at all really- and instead works on physical bulk and weapons training, leaving her lacking in long-term endurance for speed. Abigale also cannot swim or climb.

COMMENTS FROM THE ROYAL COURT:

♕ King Artheur: As anyone from the far northern regions ought to be, you've got temper enough to melt the ice around your home. I hope you know how to control it, my dear.

♕ Queen Melinda: I would like you if you didn't resemble so much that brat who won a few years back. I can make you pretty. I can keep you alive.

♕ Roland Delmere: You have a temper as hot as a forge and weapons skills equal to your inner ferocity. I'm not impressed. Prove my thoughts false...

♞Sir Thomas: Finding a partner is a waste of time, eh? Well, I'm certain you should get to know me before you make that decision.

♞Sir Adeline: Thomas has a mind of an idiot and nothing more. Truly, I hope the Queen is wrong. I would love to see a good, strong knight as you join our ranks.
