Dame Riovanne Duclare

Sculpted by battle and defined by faith, Dame Riovanne wears her history on her sleeve. Her appearance shows the aftermath of a youth spent at war: faint wrinkles line her face from stress, a long scar runs across the bridge of her nose, barely missing her eye, and her build is well-muscled from long marches in heavy armor.

Anyone part of, or familiar with, the order may know her.Dragonsong Veteran: She distinguished herself as a knight-captain of the Holy See and zealous follower of Archbishop Thordan in the Dragonsong War, leading companies of soldiers in the Fury's name against the Dravanian hordes.

- WU/T/Mirror Friendly! If something in the Hooks section grabs you, feel free to walk up and use the info as you please, or send me a /tell and we can work out details! I can generally match others' RP styles and am comfortable with all different typing speeds, so no pressure.- Limits: No ERP, no character death, and nothing that takes away consent.- Not looking for a partner or any romance storyline; Rio has a partner who is played by my IRL spouse.- Still relatively new to RP in FFXIV, but not to RP in general (D&D, other online games like WoW, ESO, even City of Heroes and Neverwinter Nights for my fellow olds).
