Girl of Steel and Stone

I am what most would later call a War's Child. A child born in the first few years of the civil war that wreaked havoc upon Daquan for twenty years.
But mostly, I'm a villager.
One of the people that live in the villages, starving and fighting against death at every turn.
Yet, I'm none too pleased to be pulled from my familiar life only to be thrown into the life of the Military Academy of Daqu.
This is the first time I don't have to worry about having enough food to last the day, about freezing to death or being attacked while I'm sleeping.
I'm certainly not the King's number one fan, but if I'm given a chance to change the future and fight for those who're suffering out there... I will.
Even if it means putting up with stupid city people who don't believe the war is that bad.
I'm glad to help, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to because I've considered smashing my head against the wall more than once, believe me.

Training is hard, but even harder is to accept that friendship and love are worth the risk of a broken heart.
