Name: Cibreina Lorena Wrenn (Sib-rain-ah)
Race: Human (Chondathan)
Sex: Female
Current Age: 28
Height: 5'9
Weight: 160
Build: 185
Eye Color: Light blue
Character Class: Paladin
Profession: Novitiate, Champions of the Divine Right
Religion: Siamorphe
Appearance: A woman of average height and an athletic, soldierly build. Her straw-colored hair is worn loose but tended to at shoulder length (often tied behind her head whilst tending to the more martial duties of her profession). Her armor is a composite of thin- low profile pauldrons, gauntlets, and leg guards. Underneath her cuirass, a modified breastplate that covers the vital areas beneath her ribcage; the heavy, short gambeson beneath providing greater flexibility to her midriff. Her helmet is a strange bastardization of a bascinet and an armored mask, forged and detailed to give it the appearance of a bird of prey's hooked upper beak. A simple but well made hickory and steel pike rests in a leather scabbard long over her back, along with a thin oaken heater shield, made more to deflect blows than directly absorb them. A short saber and warhammer dangle from her belt, typically peacebonded in civilized settlements.
While her current kit is simple and unremarkable outside of her own demanded modifications, it remains well kept and meticulously maintained.
Demeanor: Cibreina carries herself with visible pride, which at times can be interpreted as pretentiousness. While professionally reserved in her words and emotions; moments of stress or excitement can bring forth passionate outbursts, for better or worse. While her usually stern demeanor may suggest otherwise, Cibreina often attempts to be mannered and friendly to most, unless given reason otherwise.
Moral Outlook: A initiate paladin of Siamorphe; Cibreina interprets the teachings of the Divine Right as a guiding doctrine for all aspects of society, with the concept of order being just as important to that of benevolence. Her personal philosopy is that before one must lead, they must learn to serve as well; and has dedicated her own life towards being an honorable servant of her Goddess, as well as an advocate of responsible rule enabling honest servitude. While capable of leadership herself, she much prefers enabling a deserving individual of taking up that role. While her aims may be selfless, Cibreina has her own desires to earn international standing for both herself and her family to a lesser extent; and is not above taking payment for services rendered to those with means.
-History-
The middle child and only daughter of a minor Cormyrean noble family, Cibreina found herself with more control of her destiny than her brothers. Raised in their modest estate near the seaside of Suzail, she found the affairs of state and diplomacy a boring chore, seeking instead to elevate her name (and her eligibility as an attractive potential wife to the mighty) within the Purple Dragon's capitol regiment. She spent a triad of years in the King's Army, seeing respectable action keeping the roads clear of goblins and brigands that had choked the region during the longest year. While having served with talent and honor as a spearman, she found the drudgery of soldiering as much of a chore as statecraft, and eventually mustered out.
Her parent's relief upon her return proved to be short lived; while army life didn't suit her, the discipline of steel exercised for a noble cause had become a part of her. After a few favors owed from the royal army had been redeemed, Cibreina accepted the invitation to take vows and join the Order of the Champions of the Divine Might, where she spent another four years as a novitiate sister. The training was a combination of religious study, education on Comyrian law and customs, as well as rigorous martial training.
During her initiation, Cibreina became readily aware of a growing power struggle between her two brothers, as well as a blossoming alliance with the noble house of Bleth that she wished no part of. Disgusted with the departure from the reliable rule of her aging father; Cibreina sought and was granted permission to serve as a Sister-Errant of the Order upon attaining the rank, and elected to travel abroad. Spear in hand, the novice Paladin struck out for the city of Murann; seeking to contribute to any attempts to push back the northern beasts and demihumans; and potentially prove herself an attractive candidate for noble sponsorship in Tethyr

Cibreina's Standard
A modification of the heraldry of Cibreina's former holdings in central Cormyr (formally signed over to her older brother and Wrenn Heir, Ardin), this standard is carried both lovingly and carefully by the Paladin in the form of a simple military guidon pennant. The songbird (sigil of the Wrenn family) facing forward represents her aims and ambitions abroad. The goblet and sunburst signify her devotion and fealty to The Divine Right. The opposing spears, her weapon of choice, signify her martial victories behind her, as well as a hope for further success abroad.
The color of the pennant itself is a pale cadet blue, while the symbols themselves are embroidered in a muted light grey, nearly white (with the exception of the sunburst, which is stitched in a bright golden yellow).
This sigil differs greatly from the official Wrenn heraldry, a point insisted upon by Cibreina herself.
