Saiban

Saiban is a major POV character in story 1 and story 3. Her family is from the Meadowlands, but she has spent most of her life in the Wingspan.

Appearance and Character
Saiban is slightly shorter than average but leanly built. As is typical for the Meadowlands, her hair is somewhat curly and dirty blonde. She has small blue eyes and a stubby nose, she is described as average looking with her most beautiful feature being her long and curly blonde hair that she wears straight down her back. Saiban has a strong sense of justice and needs a purpose to fight for, whenever she loses her purpose she becomes lost unable to continue forward. She is headstrong and confident, to the point where despite usually being rational, she will fail to consider both sides of a conflict. This often results in her dehumanising her enemies without consciously meaning to.

Equipment and Combat
As a trainee city guard, Saiban wore the standard commision chain and plate armour she was assigned. During her travels, she opts for lighter clothing, with chain and leather. Saiban carries a purple cloak from her family in the Meadowlands, but it is too big for her to wear. Saiban uses a short broadsword, and sometimes a small kite shield. Her style of fighting reflects her headstrong nature, consisting of heavy and intimidating swings. During combat she often uses front kicks to push her opponents off balance.

History
Saiban was evacuated from the Meadowlands at a young age with her parents who fled after a minor conflict wiped the rest of their family out. Understanding that conflicts such as this were unavoidable in the Meadowlands, Saiban's parents managed to escape to the Wingspan and settled in a small and quiet village north of the Scalescape mountain range.

When she was about 12, Saiban was sent to the Wingspan capital with the aspirations of becoming a knight. There Saiban housed in the barracks with the other young trainees, however, Saiban ideals of a knight didn't allign with the pious and protective nature that was taught in the Wingspan. Saiban yearned to be a warrior of the Meadowlands like her parents before her.

Saiban's obsession with her idea of chivalry caused conflict between her and the trainees from the Wingspan. Her purpose for fighting becomes to become a great warrior and return to the Meadowlands, as she feels out of place in the Wingspan.
